* Fix minor FD leak in journal code. Closes: #754608 * direct: Fix handling of case where a work tree subdirectory cannot be written to due to permissions. * migrate: Avoid re-checksumming when migrating from hashE to hash backend. * uninit: Avoid failing final removal in some direct mode repositories due to file modes. * S3: Deal with AWS ACL configurations that do not allow creating or checking the location of a bucket, but only reading and writing content to it. * resolvemerge: New plumbing command that runs the automatic merge conflict resolver. * Deal with change in git 2.0 that made indirect mode merge conflict resolution leave behind old files. * sync: Fix git sync with local git remotes even when they don't have an annex.uuid set. (The assistant already did so.) * Set gcrypt-publish-participants when setting up a gcrypt repository, to avoid unncessary passphrase prompts. This is a security/usability tradeoff. To avoid exposing the gpg key ids who can decrypt the repository, users can unset gcrypt-publish-participants. * Install nautilus hooks even when ~/.local/share/nautilus/ does not yet exist, since it is not automatically created for Gnome 3 users. * Windows: Move .vbs files out of git\bin, to avoid that being in the PATH, which caused some weird breakage. (Thanks, divB) * Windows: Fix locking issue that prevented the webapp starting (since 5.20140707). # imported from the archive

Normally, the git-annex assistant makes your files be available
|
|
wherever you use it, and so a copy of each file is stored in each repository.
|
|
That's perfect for files you're using right now, but what about files you're
|
|
not using any more?
|
|
|
|
You could just delete those files, but it's better to archive them, so
|
|
you can access them later. All you need to get started archiving your old
|
|
files is a USB drive, or an [Amazon Glacier](http://aws.amazon.com/glacier/)
|
|
account.
|
|
|
|
The webapp makes it easy to make a repository on either a USB drive,
|
|
or on Amazon Glacier. Once the repository is created, be sure to
|
|
put it in either the small archive, or full archive repository group.

|
|
|
|
Now when you're done with a file, just move it into a directory named
|
|
"archive". The assistant will notice you put it there, and next time it
|
|
has the opportunity (when you plug in the USB drive, or when it can
|
|
talk to Amazon Glacier over the network), will move the file's
|
|
content to your archive repository.
|
|
|
|
You'll no longer be able to open the file once it's been archived.
|
|
If you later want to access it, you can just copy or move it out
|
|
of the archive directory, and the assistant will retrieve its
|
|
content from the archive.
|
|
|
|
Note that retrieving data from Amazon Glacier takes 4 to 5 hours.
