Joey Hess b6d46c212e git-annex (5.20140402) unstable; urgency=medium
* unannex, uninit: Avoid committing after every file is unannexed,
    for massive speedup.
  * --notify-finish switch will cause desktop notifications after each
    file upload/download/drop completes
    (using the dbus Desktop Notifications Specification)
  * --notify-start switch will show desktop notifications when each
    file upload/download starts.
  * webapp: Automatically install Nautilus integration scripts
    to get and drop files.
  * tahoe: Pass -d parameter before subcommand; putting it after
    the subcommand no longer works with tahoe-lafs version 1.10.
    (Thanks, Alberto Berti)
  * forget --drop-dead: Avoid removing the dead remote from the trust.log,
    so that if git remotes for it still exist anywhere, git annex info
    will still know it's dead and not show it.
  * git-annex-shell: Make configlist automatically initialize
    a remote git repository, as long as a git-annex branch has
    been pushed to it, to simplify setup of remote git repositories,
    including via gitolite.
  * add --include-dotfiles: New option, perhaps useful for backups.
  * Version 5.20140227 broke creation of glacier repositories,
    not including the datacenter and vault in their configuration.
    This bug is fixed, but glacier repositories set up with the broken
    version of git-annex need to have the datacenter and vault set
    in order to be usable. This can be done using git annex enableremote
    to add the missing settings. For details, see
    http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/problems_with_glacier/
  * Added required content configuration.
  * assistant: Improve ssh authorized keys line generated in local pairing
    or for a remote ssh server to set environment variables in an
    alternative way that works with the non-POSIX fish shell, as well
    as POSIX shells.

Got well caught up on bug fixes and traffic. Backlog is down to 40.
Made the assistant wait for a few seconds before doing the startup
scan when it's autostarted, since the desktop is often busy starting
up at that same time.
Fixed an ugly bug with chunked webdav and directory special remotes
that caused it to not write a "chunkcount" file when storing data,
so it didn't think the data was present later. I was able to make it
recover nicely from that mistake, by probing for what chunks are actually
present.
Several people turn out to have had problems with `git annex sync` not
working because receive.denyNonFastForwards is enabled. I made the webapp
not enable it when setting up a ssh repository, and I made `git annex sync`
print out a hint about this when it's failed to push. (I don't think this
problem affects the assistant's own syncing.)
Made the assistant try to repair a damaged git repository without
prompting. It will only prompt when it fails to fetch all the lost
objects from remotes.
Glad to see that others have managed to
[get git-annex to build on Max OS X 10.9](http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/git_annex_doesn__39__t_work_in_Max_OS_X_10.9/#comment-8e8ee5e50506a6fde029d236f4809df8).
Now I just need someone to offer up a ssh account on that OS, and I could
set up an autobuilder for it.
