* 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. # imported from the archive

Here's a workaround to start syncing folders on Windows right now. It's a bit command line heavy, so you might need to set this up for your users. But I would much rather do this than use some other syncing solution and then have to migrate.
|
|
|
|
(1) Create a remote server git annex repository with the assistant on Linux or Mac.
|
|
|
|
(2) [Install git](http://git-scm.com/) on the Windows machine.
|
|
|
|
(3) [Install git-annex for Windows](http://git-annex.branchable.com/install/Windows/) on the Windows machine. Don't forget to run the installer as administrator.
|
|
|
|
(4) Run _Git Bash_ from the system menu, and run these commands to clone your repository.
|
|
|
|
ssh-keygen
|
|
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh username@my-server.com "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
|
|
git clone username@my-server.com:/path/to/annex
|
|
cd annex
|
|
git annex init
|
|
|
|
(5) Create a script that will trigger a full sync
|
|
|
|
echo '
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
git annex sync
|
|
git annex get *
|
|
git annex add .
|
|
git annex sync
|
|
git annex copy * --to origin
|
|
' > sync.sh
|
|
chmod +x sync.sh
|
|
./sync.sh
|
|
|
|
(6) Copy the "Git Bash" shortcut from your windows menu to your desktop, and change the link target to:
|
|
|
|
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i "annex/sync.sh"
|
|
|
|
Now ask your users to run this shortcut before and after they change files. You can also put it into the "autostart" folder to sync at boot.
