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).

Fixed a few problems in the [[armel build|install/Linux_standalone]], and
it's been confirmed to work on Raspberry Pi and Synology NAS. Since none of
the fixes were specific to those platforms, it will probably work anywhere
the kernel is new enough. That covers 9+% of the
[missing ports in the user survey](http://git-annex-survey.branchable.com/polls/2013/missing_ports/)!
Thought through the possible issues with the assistant on Windows not being
able to use lsof. I've convinced myself it's probably safe. (In fact, it
might be safe to stop checking with lsof when using the assistant in direct
mode entirely.) Also did some testing of some specific interesting
circumstances (including 2 concurrent writers to a single file).
I've been working on adding the webapp to the armel build. This can mostly
reuse the patches and EvilSplicer developed for Android, but it's taking
some babysitting of the build to get yesod etc installer for various reasons.
Will be surprised if I don't get there tomorrow.
One other thing.. I notice that <http://git-annex.org/> is up and running.
This was set up by Subito, who offered me the domain, but I suggested he
keep it and set up a pretty start page that points new users at the
relevant parts of the wiki. I think he's done a good job with that!
