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).

Pushed out a new release today, fixing two important bugs, followed by a
second release which fixed the bugs harder.
Automatic upgrading was broken on OSX. The webapp will tell you upgrading
failed, and you'll need to manually download the .dmg and install it.
With help from Maximiliano Curia, finally tracked down a bug I have been
chasing for a while where the assistant would start using a lot of CPU
while not seeming to be busy doing anything. Turned out to be triggered by
a scheduled fsck that was configured to run once a month with no particular
day specified.
That bug turned out to affect users who first scheduled such a fsck job
after the 11th day of the month. So I expedited putting a release out to
avoid anyone else running into it starting tomorrow.
(Oddly, the 11th day of this month also happens to be my birthday. I did not
expect to have to cut 2 releases today..)
