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).

John Millikin came through and fixed that haskell-gnutls segfault
on OSX that I developed a reproducible test case for the other day.
It's a bit hard to test, since the bug doesn't always happen, but the
fix is already deployed for Mountain Lion autobuilder.
However, I then found another way to make haskell-gnutls segfault, more
reliably on OSX, and even sometimes on Linux. Just entering the wrong XMPP
password in the assistant can trigger this crash. Hopefully John will work
his magic again.
---
Meanwhile, I fixed the sync-after-forget problem. Now sync always forces
its push of the git-annex branch (as does the assistant). I considered but
rejected having sync do the kind of uuid-tagged branch push that the
assistant sometimes falls back to if it's failing to do a normal sync. It's
ugly, but worse, it wouldn't work in the workflow where multiple clients
are syncing to a central bare repository, because they'd not pull down the
hidden uuid-tagged branches, and without the assistant running on the
repository, nothing would ever merge their data into the git-annex branch.
Forcing the push of synced/git-annex was easy, once I satisfied myself
that it was always ok to do so.
Also factored out a module that knows about all the different log files
stored on the git-annex branch, which is all the support infrastructure
that will be needed to make `git annex forget --drop-dead` work. Since this
is basically a routing module, perhaps I'll get around to making it use
a nice bidirectional routing library like
[Zwaluw](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Zwaluw) one day.
