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).

More Windows porting.. Seem to be getting near an end of the easy stuff,
and also the webapp is getting pretty usable on Windows now, the only
really important thing lacking is XMPP support.
Made git-annex on Windows set HOME when it's not already set. Several of
the bundled cygwin tools only look at HOME. This was made a lot harder and
uglier due to there not being any way to modify the environment of the
running process.. git-annex has to re-run itself with the fixed
environment.
Got rsync.net working in the webapp. Although with an extra rsync.net
password prompt on Windows, which I cannot find a way to avoid.
While testing that, I discovered that openssh 6.5p1 has broken support for
~/.ssh/config Host lines that contain upper case letters! I have filed a
bug about this and put a quick fix in git-annex, which sometimes generated
such lines.
