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.

New release today, the main improvements in this one being WebDAV,
Box.com, and Amazon glacier support. [[/assistant/release_notes]]
Collected together all the OSX problem reports into one place
at [[/assistant/OSX]], to make it easier to get an overview of them.
Did some testing of the OSX standalone app and found that it was missing
some libraries. It seems some new libraries it's using themselves depend on
other libraries, and `otool -L` doesn't recursively resolve this.
So I converted the simplistic shell script it was using to install
libraries into a haskell progream that recursively adds libraries until
there are no more to add. It's pulling in quite a lot more libraries now.
This may fix some of the problems that have been reported with the
standalone app; I don't really know since I can only do very limited
testing on OSX.
Still working on getting the standalone builds for this release done,
should be done by the end of today.
Also found a real stinker of a bug in `dirContentsRecursive`, which was
just completely broken, apparently since day 1. Fixing that has certainly
fixed buggy behavior of `git annex import`. It seems that the other
user of it, the transfer log code, luckily avoided the deep directory
trees that triggered the bug.
