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 bug that one or two people had mentioned years ago, but I was never
able to reproduce myself or get anyone to reproduce in a useful way. It
caused log files that were supposed to be committed to the git-annex branch
to end up in master. Turned out to involve weird stuff when the environment
contains two different settings for a single variable. So was easily fixed
at last. (I'm pretty sure the code would have never had this bug if
Data.AssocList was not buried inside an xml library, which rather
discourages using it when dealing with the environment.)
Also worked on, and hopefully fixed, another OSX cpu optimisations problem.
This one involving shared libraries that git-annex uses for XMPP.
Also made the assistant detect corrupt .git/annex/index files on startup
and remove them. It was already able to recover from corrupt .git/index
files.
Today's work was sponsored by David Wagner.
