* 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

Suppose you have a USB thumb drive and are using it as a git annex
|
|
repository. You don't trust the drive, because you could lose it, or
|
|
accidentally run it through the laundry. Or, maybe you have a drive that
|
|
you know is dying, and you'd like to be warned if there are any files
|
|
on it not backed up somewhere else. Maybe the drive has already died
|
|
or been lost.
|
|
|
|
You can let git-annex know that you don't trust a repository, and it will
|
|
adjust its behavior to avoid relying on that repositories's continued
|
|
availability.
|
|
|
|
# git annex untrust usbdrive
|
|
untrust usbdrive ok
|
|
|
|
Now when you do a fsck, you'll be warned appropriately:
|
|
|
|
# git annex fsck .
|
|
fsck my_big_file
|
|
Only these untrusted locations may have copies of this file!
|
|
05e296c4-2989-11e0-bf40-bad1535567fe -- portable USB drive
|
|
Back it up to trusted locations with git-annex copy.
|
|
failed
|
|
|
|
Also, git-annex will refuse to drop a file from elsewhere just because
|
|
it can see a copy on the untrusted repository.
|
|
|
|
It's also possible to tell git-annex that you have an unusually high
|
|
level of trust for a repository. See [[trust]] for details.
