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).

Activity has been a bit low again this week. It seems to make sense to do
weekly releases currently (rather than bi-monthly), and Thursday's
release had only one new feature (Tahoe LAFS) and a bunch of bug fixes.
Looks like git-annex will get back into Debian testing soon, after various
fixes to make it build on all architectures again, and then the
backport can be updated again too.
I have been struggling with a problem with the OSX builds, which fail with
a SIGKILL on some machines. It seems that homebrew likes to agressively
optimise things it builds, and while I have had some success with its
`--build-bottle` option, something in the gnutls stack used for XMPP is
still over-optimised. Waiting to hear back from Kevin on cleaning up some
optimised system libraries on the OSX host I use. (Is there some way to make
a clean chrooot on OSX that can be accessed by a non-root user?)
Today I did some minor work involving the --json switch, and also
a small change (well, under 300 line diff) allowing
--all to be mixed with options like --copies and --in.
