git-annex 4.20130501 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* sync, assistant: Behavior changes: Sync with remotes that have
annex-ignore set, so that git remotes on servers without git-annex
installed can be used to keep clients' git repos in sync.
* assistant: Work around misfeature in git 1.8.2 that makes
`git commit --alow-empty -m ""` run an editor.
* sync: Bug fix, avoid adding to the annex the
dummy symlinks used on crippled filesystems.
* Add public repository group.
(And inpreferreddir to preferred content expressions.)
* webapp: Can now set up Internet Archive repositories.
* S3: Dropping content from the Internet Archive doesn't work, but
their API indicates it does. Always refuse to drop from there.
* Automatically register public urls for files uploaded to the
Internet Archive.
* To enable an existing special remote, the new enableremote command
must be used. The initremote command now is used only to create
new special remotes.
* initremote: If two existing remotes have the same name,
prefer the one with a higher trust level.
* assistant: Improved XMPP protocol to better support multiple repositories
using the same XMPP account. Fixes bad behavior when sharing with a friend
when you or the friend have multiple reposotories on an XMPP account.
Note that XMPP pairing with your own devices still pairs with all
repositories using your XMPP account.
* assistant: Fix bug that could cause incoming pushes to not get
merged into the local tree. Particularly affected XMPP pushes.
* webapp: Display some additional information about a repository on
its edit page.
* webapp: Install FDO desktop menu file when started in standalone mode.
* webapp: Don't default to making repository in cwd when started
from within a directory containing a git-annex file (eg, standalone
tarball directory).
* Detect systems that have no user name set in GECOS, and also
don't have user.name set in git config, and put in a workaround
so that commits to the git-annex branch (and the assistant)
will still succeed despite git not liking the system configuration.
* webapp: When told to add a git repository on a remote server, and
the repository already exists as a non-bare repository, use it,
rather than initializing a bare repository in the same directory.
* direct, indirect: Refuse to do anything when the assistant
or git-annex watch daemon is running.
* assistant: When built with git before 1.8.0, use `git remote rm`
to delete a remote. Newer git uses `git remote remove`.
* rmurl: New command, removes one of the recorded urls for a file.
* Detect when the remote is broken like bitbucket is, and exits 0 when
it fails to run git-annex-shell.
* assistant: Several improvements to performance and behavior when
performing bulk adds of a large number of files (tens to hundreds
of thousands).
* assistant: Sanitize XMPP presence information logged for debugging.
* webapp: Now automatically fills in any creds used by an existing remote
when creating a new remote of the same type. Done for Internet Archive,
S3, Glacier, and Box.com remotes.
* Store an annex-uuid file in the bucket when setting up a new S3 remote.
* Support building with DAV 0.4."""]]
