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 5.20140320 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Fix zombie leak and general inneficiency when copying files to a
local git repo.
* Fix ssh connection caching stop method to work with openssh 6.5p1,
which broke the old method.
* webapp: Added a "Sync now" item to each repository's menu.
* webapp: Use securemem for constant time auth token comparisons.
* copy --fast --to remote: Avoid printing anything for files that
are already believed to be present on the remote.
* Commands that allow specifying which repository to act on using
the repository's description will now fail when multiple repositories
match, rather than picking a repository at random.
(So will --in=)
* Better workaround for problem umasks when eg, setting up ssh keys.
* "standard" can now be used as a first-class keyword in preferred content
expressions. For example "standard or (include=otherdir/*)"
* groupwanted can be used in preferred content expressions.
* vicfg: Allows editing preferred content expressions for groups.
* Improve behavior when unable to parse a preferred content expression
(thanks, ion).
* metadata: Add --get
* metadata: Support --key option (and some other ones like --all)
* For each metadata field, there's now an automatically maintained
"$field-lastchanged" that gives the date of the last change to that
field. Also the "lastchanged" field for the date of the last change
to any of a file's metadata.
* unused: In direct mode, files that are deleted from the work tree
and so have no content present are no longer incorrectly detected as
unused.
* Avoid encoding errors when using the unused log file.
* map: Fix crash when one of the remotes of a repo is a local directory
that does not exist, or is not a git repo.
* repair: Improve memory usage when git fsck finds a great many broken
objects.
* Windows: Fix some filename encoding bugs.
* rsync special remote: Fix slashes when used on Windows."""]]
