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).

After making a release yesterday, I've been fixing some bugs in the
webapp, all to do with repository configuration stored on the git-annex
branch. I was led into this by a strange little bug where the webapp stored
configuration in the wrong repo in one situation. From there, I noticed
that often when enabling an existing repository, the webapp would stomp on
its group and preferred content and description, replacing them with
defaults.
This was a systematic problem, it had to be fixed in several places. And
some of the fixes were quite tricky. For example, when adding a ssh
repository, and it turns out there's already a git-annex repository at the
entered location, it needs to avoid changing its configuration. But also,
the configuration of that repo won't be known until after the first git
pull from it. So it doesn't make sense to show the repository edit form
after enabling such a repository.
Also worked on a couple other bugs, and further cleaned up the [[bugs]]
page. I think I am finally happy with how the bug list is displayed,
with confirmed/moreinfo/etc tags.
