Back to bug squashing. Fixed several, including a long-standing problem on
|
|
OSX that made the app icon seem to "bounce" or not work. Followed up on a
|
|
bunch more.
|
|
|
|
The 4.20130723 git-annex release turns out to have broken support for
|
|
running on crippled filesystems (Android, Windows). `git annex sync` will
|
|
add dummy symlinks to the annex as if they were regular files, which is
|
|
not good!
|
|
[Recovery instructions](http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/regression_in_direct_mode_on_windows_:_weird___96__git_annex_sync__96___behavior/#comment-5d80649f9da85ac2fb505445a41207f5)
|
|
I've updated the Android and Windows builds and recommend an immediate upgrade.
|
|
Will make a formal release on Friday.
|
|
|
|
Spent some time improving the test suite on Windows, to catch this bug,
|
|
and fix a bug that was preventing it from testing `git annex sync` on
|
|
Windows.

I am getting very frustrated with this "unknown UUID" problem that a dozen
|
|
people have reported. So far nobody has given me enough information to
|
|
reproduce the problem. It seems to have something to do with
|
|
`git-annex-shell` not being found on the remote system that has been either
|
|
local paired with or is being used as a ssh server, but I don't yet
|
|
understand what. I have spent hours today trying various scenarios to break
|
|
git-annex and get this problem to happen.
|
|
|
|
I certainly can improve the webapp's behavior when a repository's UUID is
|
|
not known. The easiest fix would be to simply not display such
|
|
repositories. Or there could be a UI to try to get the UUID.
|
|
But I'm more interested in fixing the core problem than putting
|
|
in a UI bandaid.
