* 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

git-annex's [[metadata]] works best when files have a lot of useful
|
|
metadata attached to them.
|
|
|
|
To make git-annex automatically set the year and month when adding files,
|
|
run `git config annex.genmetadata true`.
|
|
|
|
A git commit hook can be set up to extract lots of metadata from files
|
|
like photos, mp3s, etc.
|
|
|
|
1. Install the `extract` utility, from <http://www.gnu.org/software/libextractor/>
|
|
`apt-get install extract`
|
|
2. Download [[pre-commit-annex]] and install it in your git-annex repository
|
|
as `.git/hooks/pre-commit-annex`.
|
|
Remember to make the script executable!
|
|
3. Run: `git config metadata.extract "artist album title camera_make video_dimensions"`
|
|
|
|
Now any fields you list in metadata.extract to will be extracted and
|
|
stored when files are committed.
|
|
|
|
To get a list of all possible fields, run: `extract -L | sed 's/ /_/g'`
|
|
|
|
By default, if a git-annex already has a metadata field for a file,
|
|
its value will not be overwritten with metadata taken from files.
|
|
To allow overwriting, run: `git config metadata.overwrite true`
|
