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).

Various work on Debian, OSX, and Windows stuff. Mostly uninteresting, but
took most of the day.
Made `git annex mirror --all` work. I can see why I left it out; when the
mirroring wants to drop an object, in --all mode it doesn't have an
associated file in the tree, so it cannot look at the annex.numcopies in
gitattributes. Same reason why `git annex drop --all` is not implemented.
But decided to go ahead and only use other numcopies configuration for
mirroring.
Added GETWANTED and SETWANTED to the external special remote protocol, and
that is as far as I want to go on adding git-annex plumbing stuff to the
protocol. I expect Tobias will release a boatload of special remotes
updated to the new protocol soon, which seems to prove it has everything
that could reasonably be needed.
This is a nice public git-annex repository containing a growing collection
of tech conference videos. <https://github.com/RichiH/conference_proceedings>
Did some design work on [[todo/untracked_remotes]], which I think will turn
out to be read-only remotes. Being able to clone a repository and use
git-annex in the clone without anything leaking back upstream is often
desirable when using public repository, or a repository with many users.
