Joey Hess e213ef310f git-annex (5.20140717) unstable; urgency=high
* 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).

Hello everyone,
Creating a new repository through the web-app fails on Android 4.4.3, git annex version 5.20140612-g1bebb0d.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install git annex for android 4.4.3
2. Launch git annex.
3. The terminal opens up reporting some (non-fatal?) errors. (I notice that I can't do anything in the terminal, is it supposed to reply to git annex commands? typing in "git annex version" does nothing).
4. The web-app is launched.
5. Click on make repository.
6. Error message.
I've made a few screenshots to illustrate:

This is the webapp error when creating a new repo:
[first](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1qM91oKErVDVHVuLVpacmJaOEU/edit?usp=sharing)
[second](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1qM91oKErVDX3R3cFhyb2VjcHc/edit?usp=sharing)
Being on android I can't find any ".git/annex/daemon.log to" to report. I tried to look in the repo folder but there was no .git in it (maybe hidden?)
