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 fairly far along in my triage of my backlog, looking through everything
that happened after January 23rd. Still 39 or so items to look at.
There have been several reports of problems with ssh password prompts.
I'm beginning to think the assistant may need to prompt for the password
when setting up a ssh remote. This should be handled by `ssh-askpass` or
similar, but some Linux users probably don't have it installed, and there
seems to be no widely used OSX equivalent.

Fixed several bugs today, all involving (gasp) direct mode.
The tricky one involved renaming or deleting files in direct mode.
Currently nothing removes the old filename from the direct mode
mapping, and this could result in the renamed or deleted file
unexpectedly being put back into the tree when content is downloaded.
To deal with this, it now assumes that direct mode mappings may be out of
date compared to the tree, and does additional checks to catch
inconsistencies. While that works well enough for the assistant,
I'd also like to make the `pre-commit` hook update the mappings for files
that are changed. That's needed to handle things like `git mv`.
