* 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). # imported from the archive

Here's a workaround to start syncing folders on Windows right now. It's a bit command line heavy, so you might need to set this up for your users. But I would much rather do this than use some other syncing solution and then have to migrate.
|
|
|
|
(1) Create a remote server git annex repository with the assistant on Linux or Mac.
|
|
|
|
(2) [Install git](http://git-scm.com/) on the Windows machine.
|
|
|
|
(3) [Install git-annex for Windows](http://git-annex.branchable.com/install/Windows/) on the Windows machine. Don't forget to run the installer as administrator.
|
|
|
|
(4) Run _Git Bash_ from the system menu, and run these commands to clone your repository.
|
|
|
|
ssh-keygen
|
|
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh username@my-server.com "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
|
|
git clone username@my-server.com:/path/to/annex
|
|
cd annex
|
|
git annex init
|
|
|
|
(5) Create a script that will trigger a full sync
|
|
|
|
echo '
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
git annex sync
|
|
git annex get *
|
|
git annex add .
|
|
git annex sync
|
|
git annex copy * --to origin
|
|
' > sync.sh
|
|
chmod +x sync.sh
|
|
./sync.sh
|
|
|
|
(6) Copy the "Git Bash" shortcut from your windows menu to your desktop, and change the link target to:
|
|
|
|
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i "annex/sync.sh"
|
|
|
|
Now ask your users to run this shortcut before and after they change files. You can also put it into the "autostart" folder to sync at boot.
