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.

The current behaviour of 'fsck' is a bit verbose. I have an annex'd directory of tarballs for my own build system for "science" applications, there's about ~600 or so blobs in my repo, I do occassionally like to run fsck across all my data to see what files don't meet the min num copies requirement that I have set.
Would it be better for the default behaviour of fsck when it has not been given a path to only output errors and not bother to show that a file is ok for every single file in a repo. i.e.
git annex fsck
should show only 'errors' and maybe a simple indicator showing the status (show a spinner or dots?) and when
git annex fsck PATH/FILE
it should have the current behaviour?
Right now the current fsck behaviour might get annoying for anyone who would want to run fsck with repos with lots of big files.
