Joey Hess 7189dfd77d git-annex (5.20131127) unstable; urgency=low
* webapp: Detect when upgrades are available, and upgrade if the user
    desires.
    (Only when git-annex is installed using the prebuilt binaries
    from git-annex upstream, not from eg Debian.)
  * assistant: Detect when the git-annex binary is modified or replaced,
    and either prompt the user to restart the program, or automatically
    restart it.
  * annex.autoupgrade configures both the above upgrade behaviors.
  * Added support for quvi 0.9. Slightly suboptimal due to limitations in its
    interface compared with the old version.
  * Bug fix: annex.version did not get set on automatic upgrade to v5 direct
    mode repo, so the upgrade was performed repeatedly, slowing commands down.
  * webapp: Fix bug that broke switching between local repositories
    that use the new guarded direct mode.
  * Android: Fix stripping of the git-annex binary.
  * Android: Make terminal app show git-annex version number.
  * Android: Re-enable XMPP support.
  * reinject: Allow to be used in direct mode.
  * Futher improvements to git repo repair. Has now been tested in tens
    of thousands of intentionally damaged repos, and successfully
    repaired them all.
  * Allow use of --unused in bare repository.

While I said I was done with fsck scheduling yesterday, I ended up adding
one more feature to it today: Full anacron style scheduling. So a fsck can
be scheduled to run once per week, or month, or year, and it'll run the
fsck the next time it's available after that much time has passed. The nice
thing about this is I didn't have to change Cronner *at all* to add this,
just improved the Recurrance data type and the code that calculates when
to run events.
Rest of the day I've been catching up on some bug reports. The main bug I
fixed caused git-annex on Android to hang when adding files. This turns out
to be because it's using a new (unreleased) version of git, and
`git check-attr -z` output format has changed in an incompatable way.
I am currently 70 messages behind, which includes some ugly looking bug
reports, so I will probably continue with this over the next couple days.
