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.

git-annex 5.20140221 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* metadata: New command that can attach metadata to files.
* --metadata can be used to limit commands to acting on files
that have particular metadata.
* Preferred content expressions can use metadata=field=value
to limit them to acting on files that have particular metadata.
* view: New command that creates and checks out a branch that provides
a structured view of selected metadata.
* vfilter, vadd, vpop, vcycle: New commands for operating within views.
* pre-commit: Update metadata when committing changes to locations
of annexed files within a view.
* Add progress display for transfers to/from external special remotes.
* unused: Fix to actually detect unused keys when in direct mode.
* fsck: When run with --all or --unused, while .gitattributes
annex.numcopies cannot be honored since it's operating on keys
instead of files, make it honor the global numcopies setting,
and the annex.numcopies git config setting.
* trust, untrust, semitrust, dead: Warn when the trust level is
overridden in .git/config.
* glacier: Do not try to run glacier value create when an existing glacier
remote is enabled.
* fsck: Refuse to do anything if more than one of --incremental, --more,
and --incremental-schedule are given, since it's not clear which option
should win.
* Windows webapp: Can set up box.com, Amazon S3, and rsync.net remotes
* Windows webapp: Can create repos on removable drives.
* Windows: Ensure HOME is set, as needed by bundled cygwin utilities."""]]
