git-annex 8.20200617 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Added annex.skipunknown git config, that can be set to false to change
the behavior of commands like `git annex get foo*`, to not skip
over files/dirs that are not checked into git and are explicitly listed in
the command line.
* annex.skipunknown is planned to change to default to false in a
git-annex release in early 2022. If you prefer the current behavior,
you can explicitly set it to true.
* Try to enable special remotes configured with autoenable=yes
when git-annex auto-initialization happens in a new clone of an
existing repo. Previously, git-annex init had to be explicitly run to
enable them. Special remotes cannot display anything when autoenabled
this way, to avoid interfering with the output of git-annex query
commands.
* export: Added options for json output.
* import: Added --json-progress.
* addurl: Make --preserve-filename also apply when eg a torrent contains
multiple files.
* Fix a crash or potentially not all files being exported when
sync -J --content is used with an export remote.
* export: Let concurrent transfers be done with -J or annex.jobs.
* move --to, copy --to, mirror --to: When concurrency is enabled, run
cleanup actions in separate job pool from uploads.
* init: If lock probing stalls for a long time (eg a broken NFS server),
display a message to let the user know what's taking so long.
* init: When annex.pidlock is set, skip lock probing.
* Fix file descriptor leak when importing from a directory special remote
that is configured with exporttree=yes.
* Note that external special remote programs should not block SIGINT or
SIGTERM.
* Avoid creating the keys database during init when there are no unlocked
files, to prevent init failing when sqlite does not work in the
filesystem.
* import: Avoid using some strange names for temporary keys,
which broke importing from a directory special remote onto a vfat
filesystem.
* S3: The REDUCED\_REDUNDANCY storage class is no longer cheaper so
stop documenting it, and stop offering it as a choice in the assistant.
* Improve display of problems auto-initializing or upgrading local git
remotes.
* When a local git remote cannot be initialized because it has no
git-annex branch or a .noannex file, avoid displaying a message about it.
* checkpresentkey: When no remote is specified, try all remotes, not
only ones that the location log says contain the key. This is what
the documentation has always said it did.
* Fix regression in external special remote handling: GETCONFIG did not
return a value that was set with SETCONFIG immediately before.
(Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7)
* Fix bug that made initremote of extrnal special remotes with
embedcreds=yes or gpg encryption not store the creds in the git-annex
branch. git-annex-remote-googledrive one was special remote affected by
this bug.
(Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7)
* Fix bug that made creds not be stored in git when a special remote
was initialized with gpg encryption, but without an explicit
embedcreds=yes.
(Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7)
* Fix a annex.pidlock issue that made eg git-annex get of an unlocked
file hang until the annex.pidlocktimeout and then fail."""]]
