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.

Got well caught up on bug fixes and traffic. Backlog is down to 40.
Made the assistant wait for a few seconds before doing the startup
scan when it's autostarted, since the desktop is often busy starting
up at that same time.
Fixed an ugly bug with chunked webdav and directory special remotes
that caused it to not write a "chunkcount" file when storing data,
so it didn't think the data was present later. I was able to make it
recover nicely from that mistake, by probing for what chunks are actually
present.
Several people turn out to have had problems with `git annex sync` not
working because receive.denyNonFastForwards is enabled. I made the webapp
not enable it when setting up a ssh repository, and I made `git annex sync`
print out a hint about this when it's failed to push. (I don't think this
problem affects the assistant's own syncing.)
Made the assistant try to repair a damaged git repository without
prompting. It will only prompt when it fails to fetch all the lost
objects from remotes.
Glad to see that others have managed to
[get git-annex to build on Max OS X 10.9](http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/git_annex_doesn__39__t_work_in_Max_OS_X_10.9/#comment-8e8ee5e50506a6fde029d236f4809df8).
Now I just need someone to offer up a ssh account on that OS, and I could
set up an autobuilder for it.
