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).

Upgrades should be working on OSX Mavericks, Linux, and sort of on Android.
This needs more testing, so I have temporarily made the daily builds think
they are an older version than the last git-annex release. So when you
install a daily build, and start the webapp, it should try to upgrade
(really downgrade) to the last release. Tests appreciated.
Looking over the whole upgrade code base, it took 700 lines of code
to build the whole thing, of which 75 are platform specific (and mostly
come down to just 3 or 4 shell commands). Not bad..
----
Last night, added support for quvi 0.9, which has a completely changed
command line interface from the 0.4 version.
Plan to spend tomorrow catching up on bug reports etc and then low activity
for rest of the week.
