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).

# NAME
git-annex-shell - Restricted login shell for git-annex only SSH access
# SYNOPSIS
git-annex-shell [-c] command [params ...]
# DESCRIPTION
git-annex-shell is a restricted shell, similar to git-shell, which
can be used as a login shell for SSH accounts.
Since its syntax is identical to git-shell's, it can be used as a drop-in
replacement anywhere git-shell is used. For example it can be used as a
user's restricted login shell.
# COMMANDS
Any command not listed below is passed through to git-shell.
Note that the directory parameter should be an absolute path, otherwise
it is assumed to be relative to the user's home directory. Also the
first "/~/" or "/~user/" is expanded to the specified home directory.
* configlist directory
This outputs a subset of the git configuration, in the same form as
`git config --list`. This is used to get the annex.uuid of the remote
repository.
When run in a repository that does not yet have an annex.uuid, one
will be created, as long as a git-annex branch has already been pushed to
the repository.
* inannex directory [key ...]
This checks if all specified keys are present in the annex,
and exits zero if so.
* dropkey directory [key ...]
This drops the annexed data for the specified keys.
* recvkey directory key
This runs rsync in server mode to receive the content of a key,
and stores the content in the annex.
* sendkey directory key
This runs rsync in server mode to transfer out the content of a key.
* transferinfo directory key
This is typically run at the same time as sendkey is sending a key
to the remote. Using it is optional, but is used to update
progress information for the transfer of the key.
It reads lines from standard input, each giving the number of bytes
that have been received so far.
* commit directory
This commits any staged changes to the git-annex branch.
It also runs the annex-content hook.
* notifychanges
This is used by `git-annex remotedaemon` to be notified when
refs in the remote repository are changed.
* gcryptsetup gcryptid
Sets up a repository as a gcrypt repository.
# OPTIONS
Most options are the same as in git-annex. The ones specific
to git-annex-shell are:
* --uuid=UUID
git-annex uses this to specify the UUID of the repository it was expecting
git-annex-shell to access, as a sanity check.
* -- fields=val fields=val.. --
Additional fields may be specified this way, to retain compatability with
past versions of git-annex-shell (that ignore these, but would choke
on new dashed options).
Currently used fields include remoteuuid=, associatedfile=,
and direct=
# HOOK
After content is received or dropped from the repository by git-annex-shell,
it runs a hook, `.git/hooks/annex-content` (or `hooks/annex-content` on a bare
repository). The hook is not currently passed any information about what
changed.
# ENVIRONMENT
* GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_READONLY
If set, disallows any command that could modify the repository.
Note that this does not prevent passing commands on to git-shell.
For that, you also need ...
* GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_LIMITED
If set, disallows running git-shell to handle unknown commands.
* GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_DIRECTORY
If set, git-annex-shell will refuse to run commands that do not operate
on the specified directory.
