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-union-merge - Join branches together using a union merge
# SYNOPSIS
git union-merge ref ref newref
# DESCRIPTION
Does a union merge between two refs, storing the result in the
specified newref.
The union merge will always succeed, but assumes that files can be merged
simply by concacenating together lines from all the oldrefs, in any order.
So, this is useful only for branches containing log-type data.
Note that this does not touch the checked out working copy. It operates
entirely on git refs and branches.
# EXAMPLE
git union-merge git-annex origin/git-annex refs/heads/git-annex
Merges the current git-annex branch, and a version from origin,
storing the result in the git-annex branch.
# BUGS
File modes are not currently merged.
