git-annex (10.20240129) upstream; urgency=medium
* info: Added "annex sizes of repositories" table to the overall display.
* import: Sped up import from special remotes.
* import: Added --message/-m option.
* Support using commands that implement the Stateless OpenPGP command line
interface, as an alternative to gpg.
Currently only supported for encryption=shared special remotes,
when annex.shared-sop-command is configured.
* test: Test a specified Stateless OpenPGP command when
run with eg --test-git-config annex.shared-sop-command=sqop
* Improve disk free space checking when transferring unsized keys to
local git remotes.
* Added configs annex.stalldetection-download, annex.stalldetection-upload,
annex.bwlimit-download, annex.bwlimit-upload,
and similar per-remote configs.
* Improve annex.stalldetection to handle remotes that update progress
less frequently than the configured time period.
* external: Monitor file size when getting content from external
special remotes and use that to update the progress meter,
in case the external special remote program does not report progress.
* Added --expected-present file matching option.
* webapp: Added --port option, and annex.port config.
* assistant: When generating a gpg secret key, avoid hardcoding the
key algorithm and size.

git-annex (10.20231227) upstream; urgency=medium
* migrate: Support distributed migrations by recording each migration,
and adding a --update option that updates the local repository
incrementally, hard linking annex objects to their new keys.
* pull, sync: When operating on content, automatically handle
distributed migrations.
* Added annex.syncmigrations config that can be set to false to prevent
pull and sync from migrating object content.
* migrate: Added --apply option that (re)applies all recorded
distributed migrations to the objects in repository.
* migrate: Support adding size to URL keys that were added with
--relaxed, by running eg: git-annex migrate --backend=URL foo
* When importing from a special remote, support preferred content
expressions that use terms that match on keys (eg "present", "copies=1").
Such terms are ignored when importing, since the key is not known yet.
Before, such expressions caused the import to fail.
* Support git-annex copy/move --from-anywhere --to remote.
* Make git-annex get/copy/move --from foo override configuration of
remote.foo.annex-ignore, as documented.
* Lower precision of timestamps in git-annex branch, which can reduce the
size of the branch by up to 8%.
* sync: Fix locking problems during merge when annex.pidlock is set.
* Avoid a problem with temp file names ending in "." on certian
filesystems that have problems with such filenames.
* sync, push: Avoid trying to send individual files to special remotes
configured with importtree=yes exporttree=no, which would always fail.
* Fix a crash opening sqlite databases when run in a non-unicode locale.
(Needs persistent-sqlite 2.13.3.)
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Wed, 27 Dec 2023 19:27:37 -0400
git-annex (10.20231129) upstream; urgency=medium
* Fix bug in git-annex copy --from --to that skipped files that were
locally present.
* Make git-annex copy --from --to --fast actually fast.
* Fix crash of enableremote when the special remote has embedcreds=yes.
* Ignore directories and other unusual files in .git/annex/journal/
* info: Added calculation of combined annex size of all repositories.
* log: Added options --sizesof, --sizes and --totalsizes that
display how the size of repositories changed over time.
* log: Added options --interval, --bytes, --received, and --gnuplot
to tune the output of the above added options.
* findkeys: Support --largerthan and --smallerthan.
* importfeed: Use caching database to avoid needing to list urls
on every run, and avoid using too much memory.
* Improve memory use of --all when using annex.private.
* lookupkey: Sped up --batch.
* Windows: Consistently avoid ending standard output lines with CR.
This matches the behavior of git on Windows.
* Windows: Fix CRLF handling in some log files.
* Windows: When git-annex init is installing hook scripts, it will
avoid ending lines with CR for portability. Existing hook scripts
that do have CR line endings will not be changed.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Wed, 29 Nov 2023 15:59:20 -0400
git-annex (10.20230926) upstream; urgency=medium
* Fix more breakage caused by git's fix for CVE-2022-24765, this time
involving a remote (either local or ssh) that is a repository not owned
by the current user.
* Fix using git remotes that are bare when git is configured with
safe.bareRepository = explicit.
* Fix linker optimisation in linux standalone tarballs.
* adb: Avoid some problems with unusual characters in exporttree
filenames that confuse adb shell commands.
* push: When on an adjusted branch, propagate changes to parent branch
before updating export remotes.
* lookupkey: Added --ref option.
* enableremote: Avoid overwriting existing git remote when passed the uuid
of a specialremote that was earlier initialized with the same name.
* Support being built with crypton rather than the no-longer maintained
cryptonite.
* Removed the vendored git-lfs and the GitLfs build flag.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Tue, 26 Sep 2023 13:23:37 -0400
git-annex (10.20230828) upstream; urgency=medium
* oldkeys: New command that lists the keys used by old versions of a file.
* Fix behavior of onlyingroup.
* info: Added --dead-repositories option.
* Significant startup speed increase by avoiding repeatedly checking
if some remote git-annex branch refs need to be merged.
* Fix behavior when importing a tree from a directory remote when the
directory does not exist. An empty tree was imported, rather than the
import failing.
* sync, assist, push, pull: Skip more types of remotes when they
are not available due to eg being on a drive that is offline.
(directory, borg, bup, ddar, gcrypt, rsync)
* info: Added available to the info displayed for a remote.
* Added AVAILABILITY UNAVAILABLE and the UNAVAILABLERESPONSE extension
to the external special remote protocol.
* The remote.name.annex-availability git config is no longer used.
* Avoid using curl when annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses is set
but neither annex.web-options nor annex.security.allowed-url-schemes
is set to a value that needs curl.
* Stop bundling curl in the OSX dmg and linux standalone image.
* diffdriver: Added --get option.
* diffdriver: Refuse to run when not in a git-annex repository.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Mon, 28 Aug 2023 12:40:37 -0400
git-annex (10.20230802) upstream; urgency=medium
* satisfy: New command that gets/sends/drops content to satisfy
preferred content settings. This is like to the --content
part of git-annex sync.
* --explain: New option to display explanations of what git-annex
takes into account when deciding what to do. Including explaining
matching of preferred content expressions, annex.largefiles, and
annex.addunlocked.
* reinject: Added --guesskeys option.
* diffdriver: Added --text option for easy diffing of the contents of
annexed text files.
* assist: With --jobs, parallelize transferring content to/from remotes.
* Bug fix: Re-running git-annex adjust or sync when in an adjusted branch
would overwrite the original branch, losing any commits that had been
made to it since the adjusted branch was created.
* Bug fix: Fix behavior when git is configured with
safe.bareRepository = explicit.
* importfeed bug fix: When -J was used with multiple feeds, some feeds
did not get their items downloaded.
* importfeed: Add feedurl to the metadata (and allow it to be used in the
--template)
* Improve resuming interrupted download when using yt-dlp.
* S3: Amazon S3 buckets created after April 2023 do not support ACLs,
so public=yes cannot be used with them. Existing buckets configured
with public=yes will keep working.
* S3: Allow setting publicurl=yes without public=yes, to support
buckets that are configured with a Bucket Policy that allows public
access.
* directory, gcrypt: Remove empty hash directories when dropping content.
* dropunused: Support --jobs
* Support "onlyingroup=" in preferred content expressions.
* Support --onlyingroup= matching option.
* Setup.hs: Stop installing man pages, desktop files, and the
git-annex-shell and git-remote-tor-annex symlinks.
Anything still relying on that, eg via cabal v1-install will need to
change to using make install-home.
* Support building with unix-compat 0.7
* Support building with unix-2.8.0.
* stack.yaml: Update to build with ghc-9.6.2 and aws-0.24.
(For windows, stack-lts-18.13.yaml has to be used instead for now.)
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Wed, 02 Aug 2023 13:55:30 -0400
git-annex (10.20230626) upstream; urgency=medium
* Split out two new commands, git-annex pull and git-annex push.
Those plus a git commit are equivalent to git-annex sync.
(Note that the new commands default to syncing content, unless
annex.synccontent is explicitly set to false.)
* assist: New command, which is the same as git-annex sync but with
new files added and content transferred by default.
* sync: Started a transition to --content being enabled by default.
When used without --content or --no-content, warn about the upcoming
transition, and suggest using one of the options, or setting
annex.synccontent.
* sync: Added -g as a short option for --no-content.
* Many commands now quote filenames that contain unusual characters the
same way that git does, to avoid exposing control characters to the
terminal.
* Support core.quotePath, which can be set to false to display utf8
characters as-is in filenames.
* Control characters in non-filename data coming from the repository or
other possible untrusted sources are filtered out of the display of many
commands. When the command output is intended for use in scripting,
control characters are only filtered out when displaying to the
terminal.
* find, findkeys, examinekey: When outputting to a terminal and --format
is not used, quote control characters. Output to a pipe is unchanged.
(Similar to the behavior of GNU find.)
* addurl --preserve-filename now rejects filenames that contain other
control characters, besides the escape sequences it already rejected.
* init: Avoid autoenabling special remotes that have control characters
in their names.
* Support core.sharedRepository=0xxx at long last.
* Support --json and --json-error-messages in many more commands
(addunused, configremote, dead, describe, dropunused, enableremote,
expire, fix, importfeed, init, initremote, log, merge, migrate, reinit,
reinject, rekey, renameremote, rmurl, semitrust, setpresentkey, trust,
unannex, undo, uninit, untrust, unused, upgrade)
* importfeed: Support -J
* importfeed: Support --json-progress
* httpalso: Support being used with special remotes that use chunking.
* Several significant speedups to importing large trees from special
remotes. Imports that took over an hour now take only a few minutes.
* Cache negative lookups of global numcopies and mincopies.
Speeds up eg git-annex sync --content by up to 50%.
* Speed up sync in an adjusted branch by avoiding re-adjusting the branch
unnecessarily, particularly when it is adjusted with --hide-missing
or --unlock-present.
* config: Added the --show-origin and --for-file options.
* config: Support annex.numcopies and annex.mincopies.
* whereused: Fix display of branch:file when run in a subdirectory.
* enableremote: Support enableremote of a git remote (that was previously
set up with initremote) when additional parameters such as autoenable=
are passed.
* configremote: New command, currently limited to changing autoenable=
setting of a special remote.
* Honor --force option when operating on a local git remote.
* When a nonexistant file is passed to a command and
--json-error-messages is enabled, output a JSON object indicating the
problem. (But git ls-files --error-unmatch still displays errors about
such files in some situations.)
* Bug fix: Create .git/annex/, .git/annex/fsckdb,
.git/annex/sentinal, .git/annex/sentinal.cache, and
.git/annex/journal/* with permissions configured by core.sharedRepository.
* Bug fix: Lock files were created with wrong modes for some combinations
of core.sharedRepository and umask.
* initremote: Avoid creating a remote that is not encrypted when gpg is
broken.
* log: When --raw-date is used, display only seconds from the epoch, as
documented, omitting a trailing "s" that was included in the output
before.
* addunused: Displays the names of the files that it adds.
* reinject: Fix support for operating on multiple pairs of files and keys.
* sync: Fix buggy handling of --no-pull and --no-push when syncing
--content. With --no-pull, avoid downloading content, and with
--no-push avoid uploading content. This was done before, but
inconsistently.
* uninit: Avoid buffering the names of all annexed files in memory.
* Fix bug in -z handling of trailing NUL in input.
* version: Avoid error message when entire output is not read.
* Fix excessive CPU usage when parsing yt-dlp (or youtube-dl) progress
output fails.
* Use --progress-template with yt-dlp to fix a failure to parse
progress output when only an estimated total size is known.
* When yt-dlp is available, default to using it in preference to
youtube-dl. Using youtube-dl is now deprecated, and git-annex no longer
tries to parse its output to display download progress
* Improve resuming interrupted download when using yt-dlp or youtube-dl.
* assistant: Add dotfiles to git by default, unless annex.dotfiles
is configured, the same as git-annex add does.
* assistant --autostop: Avoid crashing when ~/.config/git-annex/autostart
lists a directory that it cannot chdir to.
* Fix display when run with -J1.
* assistant: Fix a crash when a small file is deleted immediately after
being created.
* repair: Fix handling of git ref names on Windows.
* repair: Fix a crash when .git/annex/journal/ does not exist.
* Support building with optparse-applicative 0.18.1
(Thanks, Peter Simons)

git-annex (10.20230407) upstream; urgency=medium
* Fix laziness bug introduced in last release that breaks use
of --unlock-present and --hide-missing adjusted branches.
* Support user.useConfigOnly git config.
* registerurl, unregisterurl: Added --remote option.
* registerurl: When an url is claimed by a special remote other than the
web, update location tracking for that special remote.
(This was the behavior before version 6.20181011)
* Sped up sqlite inserts 2x when built with persistent 2.14.5.0
* git-annex.cabal: Prevent building with unix-compat 0.7 which
removed System.PosixCompat.User.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Fri, 07 Apr 2023 13:36:23 -0400
git-annex (10.20230329) upstream; urgency=medium
* sync: Fix parsing of gcrypt::rsync:// urls that use a relative path.
* Avoid failure to update adjusted branch --unlock-present after git-annex
drop when annex.adjustedbranchrefresh=1
* Avoid leaving repo with a detached head when there is a failure
checking out an updated adjusted branch.
* view: Support annex.maxextensionlength when generating filenames for
the view branch.
* Windows: Support urls like "file:///c:/path"
* addurl, importfeed: Fix failure when annex.securehashesonly is set.
* Copy with a reflink when exporting a tree to a directory special remote.
* Fix bug that caused broken protocol to be used with external remotes
that use exporttree=yes. In some cases this could result in the wrong
content being exported to, or retrieved from the remote.
* Support VERSION 2 in the external special remote protocol, which is
identical to VERSION 1, but avoids external remote programs neededing
to work around the above bug. External remote program that support
exporttree=yes are recommended to be updated to send VERSION 2.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Wed, 29 Mar 2023 13:29:07 -0400
git-annex (10.20230321) upstream; urgency=medium
* Using git-annex view in an adjusted branch, or git-annex adjust in a
view branch, will enter an adjusted view branch.
* sync: Fix a reversion that prevented sending files to exporttree=yes
remotes when annex-tracking-branch was configured to branch:subdir
(Introduced in version 10.20230214)
* status: This command is deprecated because it was only needed in direct
mode; git status --short is very similar.
* Windows: Support long filenames in more (possibly all) of the code.
* Added arm64 build for ancient kernels, needed to support Android phones
whose kernels are too old to support kernels used by the current arm64
build.
* importfeed: Display feed title.
* init: Support being ran in a repository that has a newline in its path.
* copy: When --from and --to are combined and the content is already
present on the destination remote, update location tracking as
necessary.
* Fixed spelling of some messages and added a .codespellrc
Thanks, Yaroslav Halchenko
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Tue, 21 Mar 2023 16:13:46 -0400
git-annex (10.20230227) upstream; urgency=medium
* Fix more breakage caused by git's fix for CVE-2022-24765, this time
involving a remote that is a local bare repository not owned by the
current user.
* info: Fix reversion in last release involving handling of unsupported
input by continuing to handle any other inputs, before exiting nonzero
at the end.
* git-annex.cabal: Move webapp build deps under the Assistant build flag
so git-annex can be built again without yesod etc installed.
* Improve error message when unable to read a sqlite database due to
permissions problem.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Mon, 27 Feb 2023 12:23:12 -0400
git-annex (10.20230214) upstream; urgency=medium
* sync: Fix a bug that caused files to be removed from an
importtree=yes exporttree=yes special remote when the remote's
annex-tracking-branch was not the currently checked out branch.
* S3: Support a region= configuration useful for some non-Amazon S3
implementations. This feature needs git-annex to be built with aws-0.24.
* view: New field?=glob and ?tag syntax that includes a directory "_"
in the view for files that do not have the specified metadata set.
* Added annex.viewunsetdirectory git config to change the name of the
"_" directory in a view.
* Changed the name of view branches to include the parent branch.
Existing view branches checked out using an old name will still work.
* sync: Avoid pushing view branches to remotes.
* sync: When run in a view branch, refresh the view branch to reflect any
changes that have been made to the parent branch or metadata.
* sync: When run in a view branch, avoid updating synced/ branches,
or trying to merge anything from remotes.
* Support http urls that contain ":" that is not followed by a port
number, the same as git does.
* sync: Warn when the adjusted basis ref cannot be found, as happens eg when
the user has renamed branches.
* Sped up view branch construction by 50%.
* info, enableremotemote, renameremote: Avoid a confusing message when more
than one repository matches the user provided name.
* info: Exit nonzero when the input is not supported.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Tue, 14 Feb 2023 14:07:11 -0400
git-annex (10.20230126) upstream; urgency=medium
* Change --metadata comparisons < > <= and >= to fall back to
lexicographical comparisons when one or both values being compared
are not numbers.
* Improve handling of some .git/annex/ subdirectories being on other
filesystems, in the bittorrent special remote, and youtube-dl
integration, and git-annex addurl.
* Added --anything (and --nothing). Eg, git-annex find --anything
will list all annexed files whether or not the content is present.
This is slightly faster and clearer than --include=* or --exclude=*
* Speed up git-annex upgrade (from v5) and init in a repository that has
submodules.
* Added libgcc_s.so.1 to the linux standalone build so pthread_cancel
will work.
* Speed up initial scanning for annexed files when built
with persistent-2.14.4.1
* Allow initremote of additional special remotes with type=web,
in addition to the default web special remote. When --sameas=web is used,
these provide additional names for the web special remote, and may
also have their own additional configuration and cost.
* web: Add urlinclude and urlexclude configuration settings.
* Added an optional cost= configuration to all special remotes.
* adb: Support the remote.name.cost and remote.name.cost-command configs.
* findkeys: New command, very similar to git-annex find but operating on
keys.
* move, copy: Support combining --from and --to, which will send content
from one remote across to another remote.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Thu, 26 Jan 2023 15:26:22 -0400
git-annex (10.20221212) upstream; urgency=medium
* Fix a hang that occasionally occurred during commands such as move,
when operating on unlocked files. (A bug introduced in 10.20220927)
* When youtube-dl is not available in PATH, use yt-dlp instead.
* Support parsing yt-dpl output to display download progress.
* init: Avoid scanning for annexed files, which can be lengthy in a
large repository. Instead that scan is done on demand.
* Sped up the initial scan for annexed files by 21%.
* test: Add --test-debug option.
* Support quettabyte and yottabyte.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Mon, 12 Dec 2022 12:20:06 -0400
git-annex (10.20221104) upstream; urgency=medium
* export: Fix a bug that left a file on a special remote when
two files with the same content were both deleted in the exported tree.
* S3: Support signature=anonymous to access a S3 bucket anonymously.
This can be used, for example, with importtree=yes to import from
a public bucket.
This feature needs git-annex to be built with aws-0.23.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Thu, 03 Nov 2022 14:07:31 -0400
git-annex (10.20221103) upstream; urgency=medium
* Doubled the speed of git-annex drop when operating on many files,
and of git-annex get when operating on many tiny files.
* trust, untrust, semitrust, dead: Fix behavior when provided with
multiple repositories to operate on.
* trust, untrust, semitrust, dead: When provided with no parameters,
do not operate on a repository that has an empty name.
* move: Fix openFile crash with -J
(Fixes a reversion in 8.20201103)
* S3: Speed up importing from a large bucket when fileprefix= is set,
by only asking for files under the prefix.
* When importing from versioned remotes, fix tracking of the content
of deleted files.
* More robust handling of ErrorBusy when writing to sqlite databases.
* Avoid hanging when a suspended git-annex process is keeping a sqlite
database locked.
* Make --batch mode handle unstaged annexed files consistently
whether the file is unlocked or not. Note that this changes the
behavior of --batch when it is provided with locked files that are
in the process of being added to the repository, but have not yet been
staged in git.
* Make git-annex enable-tor work when using the linux standalone build.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Thu, 03 Nov 2022 14:07:31 -0400
git-annex (10.20221003) upstream; urgency=medium
* Avoid displaying warning about git-annex restage needing to be run
in situations where it does not.

git-annex (10.20220927) upstream; urgency=medium
* Fix a bug in the last release that caused v8 repositories to upgrade
immediately to v10, rather than taking the scheduled 1 year to do so.
* annex.diskreserve default increased from 1 mb to 100 mb.
* Include the assistant and webapp when building with cabal 3.4.1.0.
* Merged the webapp build flag into the assistant build flag.
* Optimise linker in linux standalone tarballs.
* Fix crash importing from a directory special remote that contains
a broken symlink.
* When accessing a git remote over http needs a git credential
prompt for a password, cache it for the lifetime of the git-annex
process, rather than repeatedly prompting.
* Use curl for downloads from git remotes when annex.url-options is set.
* Fix a reversion that made dead keys not be skipped when operating on
all keys via --all or in a bare repo.
(Introduced in version 8.20200720)
* vicfg: Include mincopies configuration.
* Improve handling of directory special remotes with importtree=yes whose
ignoreinode setting has been changed. When getting a file from such a
remote, accept the content that would have been accepted with the
previous ignoreinode setting.
* directory, adb: Fixed a bug with importtree=yes and multiple files
in the special remote have the same content, that caused it to
refuse to get a file from the special remote, incorrectly complaining
that it had changed, due to only accepting the inode+mtime of one file
(that was since modified or deleted) and not accepting the inode+mtime
of other duplicate files.
* Fix a reversion that prevented git-annex from working in a
repository when --git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified to relocate the git
directory to somewhere else.
(Introduced in version 10.20220525)
* Improved handling of --time-limit when combined with -J
* Fix updating git index file after getting an unlocked file
when annex.stalldetection is set.
* restage: New git-annex command, handles restaging unlocked files.

* Run annex.freezecontent-command and annex.thawcontent-command
when on a crippled filesystem.
Thanks, Reiko Asakura
* enable-tor: Fix breakage caused by git's fix for CVE-2022-24765.
* Let GIT_DIR and --git-dir override git's protection against operating
in a repository owned by another user.
* p2p: Pass wormhole the --appid option before the receive/send command,
as it does not accept that option after the command
* Support "inbackend" in preferred content expressions.

git-annex (10.20220822) upstream; urgency=medium
* v8 repositories now automatically upgrade to v9, which will in turn
automatically upgrade to v10 in a year's time.
To avoid this upgrade, you can set annex.autoupgraderepository to false.
* Now uses v10 by default for new repositories.
* Fix a regression in 10.20220624 that caused git-annex add to crash
when there was an unstaged deletion.
* Added new matching options --want-get-by and --want-drop-by.
* Allow find --branch to be used in a bare repository, the same as
the deprecated findref can be.
* add --dry-run: New option.
* import: Avoid following symbolic links inside directories being
imported.
* Work around bug in git 2.37 that causes a segfault
when core.untrackedCache is set, which broke git-annex init.
* Added annex.dbdir config which can be used to move sqlite databases
to a different filesystem than the git-annex repo, when the repo is on
a filesystem that sqlite does not work well in.
* Use curl when annex.security.allowed-url-schemes includes an url

git-annex (10.20220724) upstream; urgency=medium
* filter-process: Fix a bug involving handling of empty files,
that caused git to kill git-annex filter-process.
* add: Fix reversion when adding an annex link that has been moved to
another directory. (Introduced in version 10.20220624)
* Added annex.alwayscompact setting which can be unset to speed up
writes to the git-annex branch in some cases. See its documentation
for important notes on when it's appropariate to use.
* adb: Added configuration setting oldandroid=true to avoid using
find -printf, which was first supported in Android around 2019-2020.
This may need to be enabled for old android devices that used to work
without it being set, since version 10.20220222 started using
find -printf.
* --backend is no longer a global option, and is only accepted by
commands that actually need it.
* Improve handling of parallelization with -J when copying content
from/to a git remote that is a local path.
* S3: Avoid writing or checking the uuid file in the S3 bucket when
importtree=yes or exporttree=yes.
* Fix a reversion that prevented --batch commands (and the assistant)
from noticing data written to the journal by other commands.
* Fix building with the Assistant build flag disabled but the Webapp
build flag enabled.

git-annex (10.20220624) upstream; urgency=medium
* init: Added --no-autoenable option.
* info: Added --autoenable option.
* initremote: Improve handling of type=git special remotes.
The location value no longer needs to match the url of an existing
git remote, and locations not using ssh:// will work now, including
both paths and host:/path
* Fix retrival of an empty file that is stored in a special remote with
chunking enabled.
(Fixes a reversion in 8.20201103)
* move: Improve resuming a move that succeeded in transferring the
content, but where dropping failed due to eg a network problem,
in cases where numcopies checks prevented the resumed
move from dropping the object from the source repository.
* add, fix, lock, rekey: When several files were being processed,
replacing an annex symlink of a file that was already processed
with a new large file could sometimes cause that large file to be
added to git. These races have been fixed.
* add: Also fix a similar race that could cause a large file be added
to git when a small file was modified or overwritten while it was
being added.
* add --batch: Fix handling of a file that is skipped due to being
gitignored.

git-annex (10.20220525) upstream; urgency=medium
* Special remotes with importtree=yes or exporttree=yes are once again
treated as untrusted, since files stored in them can be deleted or
modified at any time.
(Fixes a reversion in 8.20201129)
* Added support for "megabit" and related bandwidth units
in annex.stalldetection and everywhere else that git-annex parses
data units. Note that the short form is "Mbit" not "Mb" because
that differs from "MB" only in case, and git-annex parses units
case-insensitively.
* Special remotes using exporttree=yes and/or importtree=yes now
checksum content while it is being retrieved, instead of in a separate
pass at the end.
* fsck: Fix situations where the annex object file is stored in a
directory structure other than where annex symlinks point to.
* Deal with git's recent changes to fix CVE-2022-24765, which prevent
using git in a repository owned by someone else.
* Improve an error message displayed in that situation.
* Prevent git-annex init incorrectly reinitializing the repository in
that situation.
* test: When limiting tests to run with -p, work around tasty limitation
by automatically including dependent tests.

git-annex (10.20220504) upstream; urgency=medium
* Ignore annex.numcopies set to 0 in gitattributes or git config,
or by git-annex numcopies or by --numcopies, since that
configuration would make git-annex easily lose data.
Same for mincopies.
* assistant: When annex.autocommit is set, notice commits that
the user makes manually, and push them out to remotes promptly.
* multicast: Support uftp 5.0 by switching from aes256-cbc to
aes256-gcm.
* Fix test failure on NFS when cleaning up gpg temp directory.
* Fix a build failure with ghc 9.2.2.
Thanks, gnezdo for the patch.
* rsync 3.2.4 broke backwards-compatability by preventing exposing
filenames to the shell. Made the rsync and gcrypt special remotes
detect this and disable shellescape. Closes: #1010397
* repair: Avoid treating refs/annex/last-index or other refs that
are not commit objects as evidence of repository corruption.

git-annex (10.20220322) upstream; urgency=medium
* Directory special remotes with importtree=yes have changed to once more
take inodes into account. This will cause extra work when importing
from a directory on a FAT filesystem that changes inodes on every
mount. To avoid that extra work, set ignoreinodes=yes when initializing
a new directory special remote, or change the configuration of your
existing remote:
git-annex enableremote foo ignoreinodes=yes
* add: Avoid unncessarily converting a newly unlocked file to be stored
in git when it is not modified, even when annex.largefiles does not
match it.
* The above change to add fixes a reversion in version 10.20220222,
where git-annex unlock followed by git-annex add, followed by git
commit file could result in git thinking the file was modified
after the commit.
* Detect when an unlocked file whose content is not present has gotten
some other content appended to it, and avoid treating it as a pointer
file, so that appended content will not be checked into git, but will
be annexed like any other file.
* smudge: Warn when encountering a pointer file that has other content
appended to it.
* When annex.freezecontent-command is set, and the filesystem does not
support removing write bits, avoid treating it as a crippled
filesystem.
* Run annex.thawcontent-command before deleting an object file,
in case annex.freezecontent-command did something that would prevent
deletion.
* Fix propagation of nonzero exit status from git ls-files when a specified
file does not exist, or a specified directory does not contain
any files checked into git.
* Fix build with aeson 2.0.
Thanks, sternenseemann for the patch.
* Avoid git-annex test being very slow when run from within the
standalone linux tarball or OSX app.
* test: Runs tests in parallel to speed up the test suite.
* test: Added --jobs option.
* Removed vendored copy of http-client-restricted, and removed the
HttpClientRestricted build flag that avoided that dependency.
* Removed the NetworkBSD build flag.

git-annex (10.20220222) upstream; urgency=medium
* annex.skipunknown now defaults to false, so commands like
`git annex get foo*` will not silently skip over files/dirs that are
not checked into git.
* info: Allow using matching options in more situations. File matching
options like --include will be rejected in situations where there is
no filename to match against.
* adb: Avoid find failing with "Argument list too long"
* Fix git-annex forget propagation between repositories.
(reversion introduced in version 7.20190122)
* registerurl, unregisterurl: Improved output when reading from stdin
to be more like other batch commands.
* registerurl, unregisterurl: Added --json and --json-error-messages options.
* Avoid git status taking a long time after git-annex unlock of many files.
* Pass --no-textconv when running git diff internally.

git-annex (10.20220127) upstream; urgency=medium
* New v10 repository version (with v9 as a stepping-stone to it).
v8 remains the default version for now.
* In v10, object files are locked using separate lock files. This allows
the object files to be kept non-writable even in repositories where
core.sharedRepository is set.
* The v10 upgrade will happen automatically, one year after the v9
upgrade, in order to allow time for any old git-annex processes that
are not aware of the locking change to finish. Or git-annex upgrade
can be used to upgrade to v10 immediately.
* In v9 upgrade, set filter.annex.process. This makes git add/checkout faster
when there are a lot of unlocked annexed files or non-annexed files, but can
also make git add of large files to the annex somewhat slower.
If this tradeoff does not work for your use case, you can still unset
filter.annex.process.
* export: When a non-annexed symlink is in the tree to be exported, skip it.
* import: When the previously exported tree contained a non-annexed symlink,
preserve it in the imported tree so it does not get deleted.
* enableremote, renameremote: Better handling of the unusual case where
multiple special remotes have been initialized with the same name.
* Recover from corrupted content being received from a git remote,
by deleting the temporary file when it fails to verify. This prevents
a retry from failing again.
(reversion introduced in version 8.20210903)
* adb: Added ignorefinderror configuration parameter.
* Avoid crashing when run in a bare git repo that somehow contains an
index file.
* Reject combinations of --batch (or --batch-keys) with options like
--all or --key or with filenames.

* Improved support for using git-annex in a read-only repository,
git-annex branch information from remotes that cannot be merged into
the git-annex branch will now not crash it, but will be merged in
memory.
* addurl, youtube-dl: When --check-raw prevents downloading an url,
still continue with any downloads that come after it, rather than
erroring out.
* Fix locking problems when annex.pidlock is set and concurrency is
enabled eg with -J.
* Improve error message display when autoinit fails due to eg, a
permissions problem.
* export: Avoid unncessarily re-exporting non-annexed files that were
already exported.
* Improve git command queue flushing so that eg, addurl of several
large files that take time to download will update the index for each
file, rather than deferring the index updates to the end.
* sync: Better error message when unable to export to a remote because
remote.name.annex-tracking-branch is configured to a ref that does not
exist.
* Fix build with ghc 9.0.1
* Fix build with old versions of feed library.

between an annexed file and a non-annexed file.
* importfeed: Display url before starting youtube-dl download.

git config filter.annex.process 'git-annex filter-process'
* Fix a typo in the name of youtube-dl
(reversion introduced in version 8.20210903)
* git-lfs: Fix interoperability with gitlab's implementation of the
git-lfs protocol, which requests Content-Encoding chunked.
* importfeed: Fix a crash when used in a non-unicode locale.
* migrate: New --remove-size option.
* uninit: Avoid error message when no commits have been made to the

* uninit: Avoid error message when there is no git-annex branch.
* metadata --batch: Avoid crashing when a non-annexed file is input,
instead output a blank line like other batch commands do.
* metadata --batch --json: Reject input whose "fields" does not consist
of arrays of strings. Such invalid input used to be silently ignored.

git-annex older than 6.20180312.
* git-annex-shell: Removed several commands that were only needed to
support git-annex versions older than 6.20180312.
* Negotiate P2P protocol version with tor remotes, allowing
use of protocol version 1. This negotiation is not supported
by versions of git-annex older than 6.20180312.
* Fix bug that caused stale git-annex branch information to read
when annex.private or remote.name.annex-private is set.
* git-annex get when run as the first git-annex command in a new repo
did not populate all unlocked files.
(Reversion in version 8.20210621)
* Fix using lookupkey and info inside a subdirectory of the git repository.
(Reversion in version 8.20211011)
* Avoid some sqlite crashes on Windows SubSystem for Linux (WSL).
* Call annex.freezecontent-command on the annex object file
after it has been moved into place in annex/objects/. This allows
the hook to freeze the file in ways that prevent moving it, such as
removing the Windows delete permission.
Thanks, Reiko Asakura.
* addurl: Support adding the same url to multiple files at the same
time when using -J with --batch --with-files.
* When retrieval from a chunked remote fails, display the error that
occurred when downloading the chunk, rather than the error that
occurred when trying to download the unchunked content, which is less
likely to actually be stored in the remote.
* Avoid crashing tilde expansion on user who does not exist.
* test: Put gpg temp home directory in system temp directory,
not filesystem being tested.

git-annex (8.20211011) upstream; urgency=medium

* Bug fix: Git configs such as annex.verify were incorrectly overriding
per-remote git configs such as remote.name.annex-verify.
(Reversion in version 4.20130323)
* borg: Significantly improved memory use when a borg repository
contains many archives.
* borg: Avoid trying to extract xattrs, ACLS, and bsdflags when
retrieving from a borg repository.
* Sped up git-annex smudge --clean by 25%.
* Resume where it left off when copying a file to/from a local git remote
was interrupted.
* sync --content: Avoid a redundant checksum of a file that was
incrementally verified, when used on NTFS and perhaps other filesystems.
* reinject: Fix crash when reinjecting a file from outside the repository.
(Reversion in version 8.20210621)
* Avoid cursor jitter when updating progress display.

* Deal with clock skew, both forwards and backwards, when logging
information to the git-annex branch.
* GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK can now be set to a fixed value (eg 1)
rather than needing to be advanced each time a new change is made.
* Misuse of GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK will no longer confuse git-annex.
* add: When adding a dotfile, avoid treating its name as an extension.
* rsync special remote: Stop displaying rsync progress, and use
git-annex's own progress display.
* Many special remotes now checksum content while it is being retrieved,
instead of in a separate pass at the end. This is supported for all
special remotes on Linux (except for bittorrent), and for many
on other OS's (except for adb, external, gcrypt, hook, and rsync).
* unused: Skip the refs/annex/last-index ref that git-annex recently
started creating.
* Fix test suite failure on Windows.
* New --batch-keys option added to these commands:
get, drop, move, copy, whereis
* Added annex.youtube-dl-command config. This can be used to run some
forks of youtube-dl.
* Run cp -a with --no-preserve=xattr, to avoid problems with copied
xattrs, including them breaking permissions setting on some NFS
servers.
* add, import: Detect when xattrs or perhaps ACLs prevent removing
write permissions from an annexed file, and fail with an informative

* Fix a bug that prevented getting content from a repository that
started out as a bare repository, or had annex.crippledfilesystem
set, and was converted to a non-bare repository.
* Fix retrieval of content from borg repos accessed over ssh.
* sync: When --quiet is used, run git commit, push, and pull without
their ususual output.
* merge: When --quiet is used, run git merge without its usual output.
* sync, merge, post-receive: Avoid merging unrelated histories,
which used to be allowed only to support direct mode repositories.
(However, sync does still merge unrelated histories when importing
trees from special remotes, and the assistant still merges unrelated
histories.)
* sync, merge: Added --allow-unrelated-histories option, which
is the same as the git merge option.
* Fix bug that caused some transfers to incorrectly fail with
"content changed while it was being sent", when the content was not

* Fix bug that could prevent pointer files from being populated,
in a repository that was upgraded from v7.
* fsck: Detect and correct stale or missing inode caches.

crashed with the same result.
* repair: Fix reversion in version 8.20200522 that prevented fetching
missing objects from remotes.
* sync: Partly work around github behavior that first branch to be pushed
to a new repository is assumed to be the head branch, by not pushing
synced/git-annex first.
* Added annex.freezecontent-command and annex.thawcontent-command
configs.
* Improve display of errors when transfers fail.
* Dropping an unused object with drop --unused or dropunused will
mark it as dead, preventing fsck --all from complaining about it
after it's been dropped from all repositories.
* addurl, importfeed: Added --no-raw option that forces download
with youtube-dl or a special remote. In particular this can avoid
falling back to raw download when youtube-dl is blocked for some
reason.

git-annex (8.20210621) upstream; urgency=medium
* New matching options --excludesamecontent and --includesamecontent
* When two files have the same content, and a required content expression
matches one but not the other, dropping the latter file will fail as it
would also remove the content of the required file.
* drop, move, mirror: When two files have the same content, and
different numcopies or requiredcopies values, use the higher value.
* drop --auto: When two files have the same content, and a preferred content
expression matches one but not the other, do not drop the content.
* sync --content, assistant: When two unlocked files have the same
content, and a preferred content expression matches one but not the
other, do not drop the content. (This was already the case for locked
files.)
* sync --content, assistant: Fix an edge case where a file that is not
preferred content did not get dropped.
* filter-branch: New command, useful to produce a filtered version of the
git-annex branch, eg when splitting a repository.
* fromkey: Create an unlocked file when used in an adjusted branch
where the file should be unlocked, or when configured by annex.addunlocked.
* Fix behavior of several commands, including reinject, addurl, and rmurl
when given an absolute path to an unlocked file, or a relative path
that leaves and re-enters the repository.
* smudge: Fix a case where an unlocked annexed file that annex.largefiles
does not match could get its unchanged content checked into git,
due to git running the smudge filter unecessarily.
* reinject: Error out when run on a file that is not annexed, rather
than silently skipping it.
* assistant: Fix a crash on startup by avoiding using forkProcess.
* init: When annex.commitmessage is set, use that message for the commit
that creates the git-annex branch.
* Added annex.adviceNoSshCaching config.
* Added --size-limit option.
* Future proof activity log parsing.

* importfeed: Made "checking known urls" phase run 12 times faster.
* Added --debugfilter (and annex.debugfilter)
* diffdriver: Support unlocked files.
* forget: Preserve currently exported trees, avoiding problems with
exporttree remotes in some unusual circumstances.
* fsck: When downloading content from a remote, if the content is able
to be verified during the transfer, skip checksumming it a second time.
* directory: When cp supports reflinks, use it.
* Avoid excess commits to the git-annex branch when stall detection is
enabled.
* git-annex-config: Allow setting annex.securehashesonly, which has
otherwise been supported since 2019, but was missing from the list of

* init: Fix a crash when the repo's was cloned from a repo that had an
adjusted branch checked out, and the origin remote is not named "origin".
* Fix some bugs that made git-annex not see recently recorded status
information when configured with annex.alwayscommit=false.
* When mincopies is set to a larger value than numcopies, make sure that
mincopies is satisfied. Before, it assumed a sane configuration would
have numcopies larger or equal to mincopies. It's still a good idea
not to configure git-annex this way.

as the user may not be expecting the autoenable to happen, or may
have those set for other purposes and not intend git-annex to use them.
* New annex.supportunlocked config that can be set to false to avoid

* Fix bug importing from a special remote into a subdirectory more than
one level deep, which generated unusual git trees that could confuse
git merge.
* borg: Fix a bug that prevented importing keys of type URL and WORM.
* borg: Support importing files that are hard linked in the borg backup.
* export: When a submodule is in the tree to be exported, skip it.
* import: When the previously exported tree contained a submodule,
preserve it in the imported tree so it does not get deleted.
* export --json: Fill in the file field.
* rmurl: When youtube-dl was used for an url, it no longer needs to be
prefixed with "yt:" in order to be removed.

git-annex (8.20210310) upstream; urgency=medium
* When non-annexed files in a tree are exported to a special remote,
importing from the special remote keeps the files non-annexed,
as long as their content has not changed, rather than converting
them to annexed files.
(Such a conversion will still happen when importing from a remote
an old git-annex exported such a tree to before; export the tree
with the new git-annex before importing to avoid that.)
* Added support for git-remote-gcrypt's rsync URIs, which access a remote

than ssh urls.
* unregisterurl: New command.
* registerurl: Allow it to be used in a bare repository.
* Prevent combinations of options such as --all with --include.
* Fixed handling of --mimetype or --mimeencoding combined with

* Fix support for local gcrypt repositories with a space in their URI.
* uninit: Fix a small bug that left a lock file in .git/annex

* Fix a reversion that made import of a tree from a special remote
result in a merge that deleted files that were not preferred content
of that special remote.
* Bugfix: fsck --from a ssh remote did not actually check that the
content on the remote is not corrupted.
* unannex, uninit: When an annexed file is modified, don't overwrite
the modified version with an older version from the annex.
* When adding files to an adjusted branch set up by --unlock-present,
add them unlocked, not locked.
* Fix an oddity in matching options and preferred content expressions
such as "foo (bar or baz)", which was incorrectly handled as if
it were "(foo or bar) and baz)" rather than the intended
"foo and (bar or baz)"
* Checksum as content is received from a remote git-annex repository,
rather than doing it in a second pass.
* Tahoe: Avoid verifying hash after download, since tahoe does sufficient
verification itself.
* unannex, uninit: Don't run git rm once per annexed file,
for a large speedup.
* When a git remote is configured with an absolute path, use that
path, rather than making it relative.
* get: Improve output when failing to get a file fails.
* Fix build on openbsd.

* Added mincopies configuration. This is like numcopies, but is
enforced even more strictly. While numcopies can be violated in
concurrent drop situations involving special remotes that do not
support locking, mincopies cannot be. The default value has always
been 1, but now it can be set to higher values if desired.
* Behavior change: When numcopies is set to 0, git-annex used to drop
content without requiring any copies. Now to get that (highly unsafe)
behavior, mincopies also needs to be set to 0.
* Behavior change: git-annex trust now needs --force, since unconsidered
use of trusted repositories can lead to data loss.
* Behavior change: --trust and --trust-glacier options no longer overrides
trust, since that can lead to data loss, which should never be enabled
by an option other than --force.
* add: Significantly speed up adding lots of non-large files to git,
by disabling the annex smudge filter when running git add.
* add --force-small: Run git add rather than updating the index itself,
so any other smudge filters than the annex one that may be enabled will
be used.
* Fix --time-limit, which got broken in several ways by some optimisations
in version 8.20201007.
* When syncing changes back from an adjusted branch to the basis branch,
include deletions of submodules.
Thanks, Kyle Meyer for the patch.
* Bug fix: export with -J could fail when two files had the same content.
* Bug fix: Fix tilde expansion in ssh urls when the tilde is the last
character in the url.
Thanks, Grond for the patch.
* Avoid crashing when there are remotes using unparseable urls.
Including the non-standard URI form that git-remote-gcrypt uses for rsync.
* Directory special remotes with importtree=yes now avoid unnecessary
hashing when inodes of files have changed, as happens whenever a FAT
filesystem gets remounted.
* Fix a bug that prevented git-annex init from working in a submodule.
* Fix a bug in view filename generation when a metadata value ended with
"/" (or ":" or "\" on Windows)
* adjust: Fix some bad behavior when unlocked files use URL keys.
* smudge: Fix some bad behavior when git add is run on an unlocked
file that used an URL key.
* Added GETGITREMOTENAME to external special remote protocol.
* Windows: Work around win32 length limits when dealing with lock files.

git-annex (8.20201129) upstream; urgency=medium
* New borg special remote. This is a new kind of remote, that examines
borg backups of git-annex repositories, learns what files have been
backed up, and can restore files from the backup and so on. As well
as backups, it can be useful for archival storage, since borg can
efficiently store many related versions of files.
* New config annex.stalldetection, remote.name.annex-stalldetection,
which can be used to deal with remotes that stall during transfers,
or are sometimes too slow to want to use.
* Support special remotes that are configured with importtree=yes but
without exporttree=yes.
* Fix bug that made the next download after an empty file from a ssh
or tor remote fail.
* Avoid spurious "verification of content failed" message when downloading
content from a ssh or tor remote fails due to the remote no longer
having a copy of the content.
* Fix bug that matched include= and exclude= in preferred/required content
expressions relative to the current directory, rather than the path
from the top of the repository.
(Reversion introduced in version 8.20201116.)
* Fix hang on shutdown of external special remote using ASYNC protocol
extension.
(Reversion introduced in version 8.20201007.)
* Guard against running in a repo where annex.uuid is set but
annex.version is not set, or vice-versa.
* Avoid autoinit when a repo does not have annex.version or annex.uuid
set, but has a git-annex objects directory, suggesting it was used
by git-annex before, and the git config may have been lost.
* importfeed: Avoid using youtube-dl when a feed does not contain an
enclosure, but only a link to an url which youtube-dl does not support.
* initremote: Prevent enabling encryption with exporttree=yes or
importtree=yes.
* Windows: include= and exclude= containing '/' will also match filenames
that are written using '\'. (And vice-versa, but it's better to use '/'
for portability.)
* Fix a bug that could prevent getting files from an importtree=yes
remote, because the imported tree was allowed to be garbage collected.
* stack.yaml: Updated to lts-16.27.

present (so the broken symlink is visible), while unlocking files whose

* Added annex.adjustedbranchrefresh git config to update adjusted
branches set up by git-annex adjust --unlock-present/--hide-missing.
* Fix hang when an external special remote program exited but
the stderr pipe to it was left open, due to a daemon having inherited
the file descriptor.
* Fix a bug that could make resuming a download from the web fail
when the entire content of the file is actually already present
locally.
* examinekey: Added a "file" format variable for consistency with find,
and for easier scripting.
* init: When writing hook scripts, set all execute bits, not only
the user execute bit.
* upgrade: Support an edge case upgrading a v5 direct mode repo
where nothing had ever been committed to the head branch.
* Made the test suite significantly less noisy, only displaying command
output when something failed.
* Fix building without the torrent library.

* Warn when adding a annex symlink or pointer file that uses a key that

was transferred, in cases where numcopies checks prevented the resumed
move from dropping the object from the source repository.
* When a special remote has chunking enabled, but no chunk sizes are
recorded (or the recorded ones are not found), speculatively try
chunks using the configured chunk size.
* Fixed some problems that prevented this command from working:
git submodule foreach git annex init
* Improve shutdown process for external special remotes and external
backends. Make sure to relay any remaining stderr from the process,
and potentially avoid the process getting a SIGPIPE if it writes to
stderr too late.
* Fix a bug that prevented linux standalone bundle from working on a fresh
install.
* Windows build changed to one done by the datalad-extensions project
using Github actions.
* Windows build now includes libmagic, so mimetype and mimeencoding
will work.
Thanks to John Thorvald Wodder II and Yaroslav Halchenko for their work
on this.
* view: Avoid using ':' from metadata when generating a view, because
it's a special character on Windows ("c:")
* Fix a memory leak introduced in the last release.
* add, import: Fix a reversion in 7.20191009 that broke handling
of --largerthan and --smallerthan.
* view: Fix a reversion in 8.20200522 that broke entering or changing views.

git-annex (8.20201007) upstream; urgency=medium
* --json output now includes a new field "input" which is the input
value (filename, url, etc) that caused a json object to be output.
* --batch combined with -J now runs batch requests concurrently for many
commands. Before, the combination was accepted, but did not enable
concurrency. Since the output of batch requests can be in any order,
--json with the new "input" field is recommended to be used,
to determine which batch request each response corresponds to.
* aws-0.22 improved its support for setting etags, which improves
support for versioned S3 buckets.
* Serialize use of C magic library, which is not thread safe.
This fixes failures uploading to S3 when using -J.
* add, addurl, importfeed, import: Added --no-check-gitignore option
for finer grained control than using --force.
* import: Check gitignores when importing trees from special remotes.
* addunused: Don't check .gitignores when adding files.
* Improve the "Try making some of these repositories available"
message, with some hints for the user for what to do.
* Improve --debug output to show pid of processes that are started and
stopped.
* sync --all: Sped up seeking to around twice as fast, by avoiding a
pass over the worktree files when preferred content expressions of the
local repo and remotes don't use include=/exclude=.
* Sped up seeking for files to operate on, when using options like
--copies or --in, by around 20%
* import --no-content: Check annex.largefiles, and import small
files into git, the same as is done when importing with content.
If the largefiles expression needs the file content available
(due to mimetype or mimeencoding being used), the import will fail.
* sync: When run without --content, import without copying from
importtree=yes directory special remotes.
(Other special remotes may support this later as well.)
* addurl: Avoid a redundant git ignores check for speed.
* upgrade: Avoid an upgrade failure of a bare repo in unusual circumstances.
* httpalso: Support being used with special remotes that do not have
encryption= in their config.
* Parse youtube-dl progress output, which lets progress be displayed
when doing concurrent downloads.
* Fix build with Benchmark build flag.
* Enable building with git-annex benchmark by default, only turning it
off when the criterion library is not installed.
* runshell: Fix a edge case where rm errors were sent to stdout, which
could confuse things parsing git-annex output.
* runshell: Update files atomically when preparing to run git-annex.
* Fix a build failure on Windows.

git-annex (8.20200908) upstream; urgency=medium
* Added httpalso special remote, which is useful for accessing
content stored on other remotes that is published by http.
* The external special remote protocol got an ASYNC extension.
This can be used by an external special remote to let a single process
perform concurrent actions, rather than multiple processes being
started, when that is more efficient.
* Retry transfers to exporttree=yes remotes same as for other remotes.
* import: Retry downloads that fail, same as is done for downloads generally.
* Limit retrying of failed transfers when forward progress is being made
to 5, to avoid some unusual edge cases where too much retrying could
result in far more data transfer than makes sense.
* Exposed annex.forward-retry git config, to configure the forward retry
behavior that git-annex has had for a long time.
* sync, assistant, merge: When merge.directoryRenames is not set,
default it it to "false", which works better with automatic merge
conflict resolution than git's ususual default of "conflict".
(This is not done when automatic merge conflict resolution is disabled.)
* resolvemerge: Improve cleanup of cruft left in the working tree
by a conflicted merge.
* Support git remotes where .git is a file, not a directory,
eg when --separate-git-dir was used.
* Fixed several cases where files were created without file mode bits
that the umask would usually set. This included exports to the
directory special remote, torrent files used by the bittorrent special
remote, hooks written by git-annex init, and some log files in .git/annex/
* Fix reversion in 7.20190322 that made addurl --file not be honored
when youtube-dl was used to download media.
* Fix reversion in 8.20200617 that made annex.pidlock being enabled
result in some commands stalling, particularly those needing to
autoinit.
* Display warning when external special remote does not start up
properly, or is not usable.
* Display a message when git-annex has to wait for a pid lock file
held by another process.
* test: Stop gpg-agent daemons that are started for the test framework's
gpg key.
* Removed the S3 and WebDAV build flags so these special remotes are

* Fix a bug in find --branch in the previous version.
* importfeed: Fix reversion that caused some '.' in filenames to be
replaced with '_'
* Fix a lock file descriptor leak that could occur when running commands
like git-annex add with -J. Bug was introduced as part of a different FD
leak fix in version 6.20160318.
* Fix a hang when using git-annex with an old openssh 7.2p2, which had
some weird inheriting of ssh FDs by sshd. Bug was introduced in

* Honor annex.largefiles when importing a tree from a special remote.
(Except for when --no-content is used.)
* Fix a deadlock that could occur after git-annex got an unlocked

vfat filesystems, possibly others.
* Build with the http-client-restricted and git-lfs libraries when
available, otherwise use the vendored copy as before.
* testremote: Fix over-allocation of resources and bad caching,
including starting up a large number of external special remote processes.
(Regression introduced in version 8.20200501)
* test: Fix some test cases that assumed git's default branch name.
* importfeed: Added some additional --template variables:
itempubyear, itempubmonth, itempubday, itempubhour,
itempubminute, itempubsecond.
* Made several special remotes support locking content on them,
which allows dropping from other special remotes in some situations
where it was not possible before. Supported special remotes:
S3 (with versioning=yes), git-lfs, tahoe
* Fix reversion that broke passing annex.* and remote.*.annex-*
git configs with -c. (Since version 8.20200330.)
* Bring back git-annex branch read cache. This speeds up some operations,
eg git-annex sync --content --all gets 20% faster.
* Fix a recently introduced bug that could cause a "fork: resource exhausted"
after getting several thousand files.
* Sped up the --all option by 2x to 16x by using git cat-file --buffer.
Thanks to Lukey for finding this optimisation.
* Sped up seeking for annexed files to operate on by a factor of nearly 2x.
* Sped up sync --content by 2x and other commands like fsck --fast and
whereis by around 50%, by using git cat-file --buffer.
* importfeed: Made checking known urls step around 15% faster.
* fsck: Detect if WORM keys contain a carriage return, and recommend
upgrading the key. (git-annex could have maybe created such keys back
in 2013).
* When on an adjust --hide-missing branch, fix handling of files that
have been deleted but the deletion is not yet staged.

git-annex (8.20200617) upstream; urgency=medium
* Added annex.skipunknown git config, that can be set to false to change
the behavior of commands like `git annex get foo*`, to not skip
over files/dirs that are not checked into git and are explicitly listed in
the command line.
* annex.skipunknown is planned to change to default to false in a
git-annex release in early 2022. If you prefer the current behavior,
you can explicitly set it to true.
* Try to enable special remotes configured with autoenable=yes
when git-annex auto-initialization happens in a new clone of an
existing repo. Previously, git-annex init had to be explicitly run to
enable them. Special remotes cannot display anything when autoenabled
this way, to avoid interfering with the output of git-annex query
commands.
* export: Added options for json output.
* import: Added --json-progress.
* addurl: Make --preserve-filename also apply when eg a torrent contains
multiple files.
* Fix a crash or potentially not all files being exported when
sync -J --content is used with an export remote.
* export: Let concurrent transfers be done with -J or annex.jobs.
* move --to, copy --to, mirror --to: When concurrency is enabled, run
cleanup actions in separate job pool from uploads.
* init: If lock probing stalls for a long time (eg a broken NFS server),
display a message to let the user know what's taking so long.
* init: When annex.pidlock is set, skip lock probing.
* Fix file descriptor leak when importing from a directory special remote
that is configured with exporttree=yes.
* Note that external special remote programs should not block SIGINT or
SIGTERM.
* Avoid creating the keys database during init when there are no unlocked
files, to prevent init failing when sqlite does not work in the
filesystem.
* import: Avoid using some strange names for temporary keys,
which broke importing from a directory special remote onto a vfat
filesystem.
* S3: The REDUCED_REDUNDANCY storage class is no longer cheaper so
stop documenting it, and stop offering it as a choice in the assistant.
* Improve display of problems auto-initializing or upgrading local git
remotes.
* When a local git remote cannot be initialized because it has no
git-annex branch or a .noannex file, avoid displaying a message about it.
* checkpresentkey: When no remote is specified, try all remotes, not
only ones that the location log says contain the key. This is what
the documentation has always said it did.
* Fix regression in external special remote handling: GETCONFIG did not
return a value that was set with SETCONFIG immediately before.
(Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7)
* Fix bug that made initremote of extrnal special remotes with
embedcreds=yes or gpg encryption not store the creds in the git-annex

* addurl, importfeed: Avoid adding filenames with leading '.', instead

* whereis: Added --format option.
* S3: Support signature=v4, to use S3 Signature Version 4.
Some S3 services seem to require v4, while others may only
support v2, which remains the default.
* upgrade: When upgrade fails due to an exception, display it.
* repair: Improve fetching from a remote with an url in host:path format.
* git-lfs repos that encrypt the annexed content but not the git repo
only need --force passed to initremote, allow enableremote and
autoenable of such remotes without forcing again.
* When accessing a remote fails, always display a reason why.
* Display a warning message when a remote uses a protocol, such as
git://, that git-annex does not support. Silently skipping such a
remote was confusing behavior.
* Also display a warning message when a remote, without a known uuid,
is located in a directory that does not currently exist, to avoid
silently skipping such a remote.
* sync: Avoid an ugly error message when nothing has been committed to

* adb: Better messages when the adb command is not installed.
* Sped up query commands that read the git-annex branch by around 9%.
* Various speed improvements gained by using ByteStrings for git refs and
shas.
* Fix a potential failure to parse git config.
* Support boolean git configs that are represented by the name of the

* When parsing git configs, support all the documented ways to write
true and false, including "yes", "on", "1", etc.
* Fix --batch commands (and git-annex info) to accept absolute filenames
for unlocked files, which already worked for locked files.
* Avoid repeatedly opening keys db when accessing a local git remote
and -J is used.
* Avoid running a large number of git cat-file child processes when run
with a large -J value.
* Avoid running with more git check-attr and check-ignore processes than
there are CPU cores when run with a large -J value.
* get --from, move --from: When used with a local git remote, these used
to silently skip files that the location log thought were present on the
remote, when the remote actually no longer contained them. Since that
behavior could be surprising, now instead display a warning.
* external special remotes: remote.name.annex-readonly=true no longer
disables running the external special remote program. Instead, it just
makes the remote operate in a readonly mode, same as any remote.
To disable running the external special remote program, now need to set
remote.name.annex-externaltype=readonly. That is done when
git-annex enableremote is passed readonly=true.
* Stop storing readonly=true in remote.log of external special remotes;
it is a local setting only.
* sync: When some remotes to sync with are specified, and --fast is too,
pick the lowest cost of the specified remotes, do not sync with a
faster remote that was not specified.
* addurl: When run with --fast on an url that
annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses prevents accessing, display
a more useful message.
* When the required content is set to "groupwanted", use whatever
expression has been set in groupwanted as the required content of the
repo, similar to how setting required content to "standard" already
worked.
* Avoid a test suite failure when the environment does not let gpg be
tested due to eg, too long a path to the agent socket.

* Fix bug that caused unlocked annexed dotfiles to be added to git by the
smudge filter when annex.dotfiles was not set.
* Upgrade other repos than the current one by running git-annex upgrade
inside them, which avoids problems with upgrade code making assumptions
that the cwd will be inside the repo being upgraded. In particular,
this fixes a problem where upgrading a v7 repo to v8 caused an ugly
git error message.
* Fix upgrade failure when a file has been deleted from the working tree.
* Fix regression 1 month ago that prevented external special remotes from
using GETCONFIG to query values like "name".
* Improve behavior when a directory git-annex is writing to gets
unmounted. Previously it could in some cases re-create the mount point
and directory tree, and even write object contents to the wrong disk.
* Don't ignore --debug when it is followed by -c.
* whereis: If a remote fails to report on urls where a key
is located, display a warning, rather than giving up and not displaying
any information.
* When external special remotes fail but neglect to provide an error
message, say what request failed, which is better than displaying an
empty error message to the user.
* git-annex config: Only allow configs be set that are ones git-annex
actually supports reading from repo-global config, to avoid confusion.
* Avoid converting .git file in a worktree or submodule to a symlink

* Improved serialization of filenames and keys to the sqlite databases,
avoiding encoding problems and speeding up operations on them.
* Add some missing indexes to sqlite databases. This will speed up
some things involving export and import remotes, and git-annex smudge.
Microbenchmarks show around 10-25% speedup of sqlite database operations.
* add: When adding a whole directory, any dotfiles found in it will
not be skipped, but will be added to git by default. This behavior
can be configured with annex.dotfiles.
* add: Removed special case for explicitly passing dotfiles,
that no longer adds them to the annex, but to git. This behavior
can be configured with annex.dotfiles.
* add: Removed the --include-dotfiles option.
* initremote, enableremote: Set remote.name.skipFetchAll when
the remote cannot be fetched from by git, so git fetch --all
will not try to use it.
* Fix some cases where handling of keys with extensions varied depending
on the locale.
* annex.maxextensionlength used to be the number of characters, not
bytes, when in a utf-8 locale. It's now always the number of bytes.
* Extended annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses to let specific ports
of an IP address to be used, while denying use of other ports.
* init --version: When the version given is one that automatically
upgrades to a newer version, use the newer version instead.
* Auto upgrades from older repo versions, like v5, now jump right to v8.
* Makefile: Support newer versions of cabal that use the new-build system.

* Fix serious regression in gcrypt and encrypted git-lfs remotes.
Since version 7.20200202.7, git-annex incorrectly stored content
on those remotes without encrypting it.
If your remotes are affected, you will want to make sure to delete
any content that git-annex has stored on them that is not encrypted!
* initremote: Fix regression in parsing the exporttree= parameter.
* info: Fix display of the encryption value.
(Some debugging junk had crept in.)
* Bugfix to getting content from an export remote with -J, when the
export database was not yet populated.
* Bugfix: export --tracking (a deprecated option) set
annex-annex-tracking-branch, instead of annex-tracking-branch.

git-annex (7.20200219) upstream; urgency=medium
* Added sync --only-annex, which syncs the git-annex branch and annexed
content but leaves managing the other git branches up to you.
* Added annex.synconlyannex git config setting, which can also be set with
git-annex config to configure sync in all clones of the repo.
* fsck --from remote: Fix a concurrency bug that could make it incorrectly
detect that content in the remote is corrupt, and remove it, resulting in
data loss.
* When git-annex is built with a ssh that does not support ssh connection
caching, default annex.sshcaching to false, but let the user override it.
* Improve warning messages further when ssh connection caching cannot
be used, to clearly state why.
* Avoid throwing fatal errors when asked to write to a readonly
git remote on http.
* Fix support for repositories tuned with annex.tune.branchhash1=true,
including --all not working and git-annex log not displaying anything

* add: --force-large/--force-small options make it easier to override
annex.largefiles configuration (and potentially safer as it avoids
bugs like the smudge bug fixed in the last release).
* reinject --known: Fix bug that prevented it from working in a bare repo.
* Support being used in a git repository that uses sha256 rather than sha1.
* initremote, enableremote: Be stricter about rejecting invalid
configuration parameters for remotes, particularly things like foo=true
when foo=yes is expected.
* initremote, enableremote: Reject unknown configuration parameters
provided to these commands.
* initremote: Added --whatelse option, to show additional
configuration parameters you might want to set. Eg:
git annex initremote type=directory encryption=none --whatelse
* Added LISTCONFIGS to external special remote protocol. Special remote
programs that use GETCONFIG/SETCONFIG are recommended to implement it.
* init: Avoid an ugly error message when http remote has no git-annex
uuid configured.
* Support git remotes that need http basic auth to be accessed,
using git credential to get the password.
* Display a warning when concurrency is enabled but ssh connection caching
is not enabled or won't work due to a crippled filesystem.
* Makefile: Move the fish completion to the vendor_completions.d directory.

* Optimised processing of many files, especially by commands like find
and whereis that only report on the state of the repository. Commands
like get also sped up in cases where they have to check a lot of
files but only transfer a few files. Speedups range from 30-100%.
* Added build dependency on the filepath-bytestring library.
* Fixed an oversight that had always prevented annex.resolvemerge
from being honored, when it was configured by git-annex config.
* annex.largefiles can be configured by git-annex config,
to more easily set a default that will also be used by clones,
without needing to shoehorn the expression into the gitattributes file.
The git config and gitattributes override that.
* annex.addunlocked can be set to an expression with the same format used by
annex.largefiles, when you want to default to unlocking some files but
not others.
* annex.addunlocked can be configured by git-annex config.
* git-annex-config --set/--unset: No longer change the local git config
setting, except for in the special case of annex.securehashesonly.
* Improve file ordering behavior when one parameter is "." and other
parameters are other directories.
* smudge bugfix: When annex.largefiles=anything, files that were already
stored in git, and have not been modified could sometimes be converted
to being stored in the annex. Changes in 7.20191024 made this more
of a problem. This case is now detected and prevented.

an url. initremote --sameas can be used to add additional urls.
* git-lfs: When there's a git remote with an url that's known to be
used for git-lfs, automatically enable the special remote.
* sync, assistant: Pull and push from git-lfs remotes.
* Fix bug that made bare repos be treated as non-bare when --git-dir
was used.
* inprogress: Support --key.
* Sped up many git-annex commands that operate on many files, by
avoiding reserialization of keys.
find is 7% faster; whereis is 3% faster; and git-annex get when
all files are already present is 5% faster
* Stop displaying rsync progress, and use git-annex's own progress display
for local-to-local repo transfers.
* benchmark: Changed --databases to take a parameter specifiying the size
of the database to benchmark.
* benchmark --databases: Display size of the populated database.
* benchmark --databases: Improve the "addAssociatedFile (new)"
benchmark to really add new values, not overwriting old values.

git-annex (7.20191024) upstream; urgency=medium
* Changed git add/git commit -a default behavior back to what it was
before v7; they add file contents to git, not to the annex.
(However, if a file was annexed before, they will still add it to
the annex, to avoid footgun.)
* Configuring annex.largefiles overrides that; once git-annex has
been told which files are large git add/git commit -a will annex them.
* Added annex.gitaddtoannex configuration. Setting it to false prevents
git add from adding files to the annex even when annex.largefiles
is configured. (Unless the file was annexed before.)
* smudge: Made git add smarter about renamed annexed files. It can tell
when an annexed file was renamed, and will add it to the annex,
and not to git, unless annex.largefiles tells it to do otherwise.
* init: Fix a failure when used in a submodule on a crippled filesystem.
* sync: Fix crash when there are submodules and an adjusted branch is
checked out.
* enable-tor: Deal with pkexec changing to root's home directory
when running a command.

access the same data store.
* Note that due to complications of the sameas feature, any external
special remotes that try to send SETSTATE or GETSTATE during INITREMOTE
or EXPORTSUPPORTED will now get back an ERROR. That would be a very
hackish thing for an external special remote to do, needing some kind
of hard-coded key value to be used, so probably nothing will be affected.
* forget --drop-dead: Remove several classes of git-annex log files
when they become empty, further reducing the size of the git-annex branch.
* OSX: Deal with symbolic link problem that caused git to not be included in
the git-annex.dmg.

* Fix bug in handling of annex.largefiles that use largerthan/smallerthan.
When adding a modified file, it incorrectly used the file size of the
old version of the file, not the current size.
* Added --mimetype and --mimeencoding file matching options.
* Added --unlocked and --locked file matching options.
* Added adjust --lock, to enter an adjusted branch where files are locked.
* git-lfs: Added support for http basic auth.
* git-lfs: Only do endpoint discovery once when concurrency is enabled.
* fsck --incremental/--more: Fix bug that prevented the incremental fsck
information from being updated every 5 minutes as it was supposed to be;
it was only updated after 1000 files were checked, which may be more
files that are possible to fsck in a given fsck time window.
Thanks to Peter Simons for help with analysis of this bug.
* Test: Use more robust directory removal when built with directory-1.2.7.
* Close sqlite databases more robustly.
* remotedaemon: Don't list --stop in help since it's not supported.
* enable-tor: Run kdesu with -c option.
* enable-tor: Use pkexec to run command as root when gksu and kdesu are not
available.
* When dropping an unlocked file, preserve its mtime, which avoids
git status unncessarily running the clean filter on the file.
* uninit: Remove several git hooks that git-annex init sets up.
* uninit: Remove the smudge and clean filters that git-annex init sets up.
* Work around git cat-file --batch's odd stripping of carriage return
from the end of the line (some windows infection), avoiding crashing
when the repo contains a filename ending in a carriage return.

* Default to v7 for new repositories.
* Automatically upgrade v5 repositories to v7.
* Automatically convert direct mode repositories to v7 with adjusted
unlocked branches and set annex.thin.
* Added annex.autoupgraderepository configuration that can be set to false
to prevent any automatic repository upgrades.
* Refuse to upgrade direct mode repositories when git is older than 2.22,
which fixed a memory leak that could cause an OOM during the upgrade.
* Removed support for git versions older than 2.1.
* assistant: When creating a new repository, no longer use direct
mode, instead use v7 adjusted branches with annex.thin.
* init: When run on a crippled filesystem with --version=5,
will error out, since version 7 is needed for adjusted unlocked branch.
* direct: This command always errors out as direct mode is no longer
supported.
* indirect: This command has become a deprecated noop.
* proxy: This command is deprecated because it was only needed in direct
mode. (But it continues to work.)
* info: Removed the "repository mode" from its output (including the
--json output) since with the removal of direct mode, there is no
repository mode.
* info: When file matching options are specified when getting
info of something other than a directory, they won't have any effect,
so error out to avoid confusion.
* info: Display trust level when getting info on a uuid, same as a remote.
* When upgrading a direct mode repo to v7 with adjusted unlocked branches,
fix a bug that prevented annex.thin from taking effect for the files
in working tree.
* Avoid making a commit when upgrading from direct mode to v7.
* init: Catch more exceptions when testing locking.
* init: Fix a reversion that broke initialization on systems that
need to use pid locking.
* A git-annex-standalone rpm is now distributed along with the standalone

* New git-lfs special remote, which can be used to store data on any git-lfs
server, including github, gitlab, and gogs.
* Support fully encrypting all data sent to a git-lfs special remote,
using a combination of gcrypt to encrypt the git data, and git-annex's
encryption of its data.
* Use the same optimisation for --in=here as has always been
used for --in=. rather than the slow code path that unncessarily
queries the git-annex branch.
* Allow setting up a gcrypt special remote with encryption=shared.
* Fix querying git for object type when operating on a file containing
newlines.
* merge: When run with a branch parameter, merges from that branch.
This is especially useful when using an adjusted branch, because
it applies the same adjustment to the branch before merging it.
* init: Install working hook scripts when run on a crippled filesystem
and on Windows. If your repository was set up by an old version
of git-annex that omitted the hooks, you can simply re-run git-annex init
to install them.
* init: When the repo is already initialized, and --version requests a
different version, error out rather than silently not changing the
version.
* S3: Fix encoding when generating public urls of S3 objects.
* Make git-annex-standalone.deb include the shell completions again.
* Makefile: Changed default zsh completion location to zsh default fpath.
Systems such as Debian that have overridden the default fpath will
need to set ZSH_COMPLETIONS_PATH.
* test: Add pass using adjusted unlocked branch.
* Fix intermittent failure of the test suite, where its repeated opening
and writing to the sqlite database somehow caused inode cache information
to occasionally be lost.
* Fix several test suite failures on Windows.
* Windows installer: Always install to 64 bit program files directory,
since it needs 64 bit git now.
* Build with silently-1.2.5.1 on Windows; the old one used "NUL" device
which is not supported with recent versions of ghc.

* Improved probing when CoW copies can be made between files on the same
drive. Now supports CoW between BTRFS subvolumes. And, falls back to rsync
instead of using cp when CoW won't work, eg copies between repos on the
same EXT4 filesystem.
* Add BLAKE2BP512 and BLAKE2BP512E backends, using a blake2 variant
optimised for 4-way CPUs.
* Support running v7 upgrade in a repo where there is no branch checked
out, but HEAD is set directly to some other ref.
* Windows build no longer ships with a copy of rsync, since that is only
used any more to access rsync special remotes or remotes with a very
old version of git-annex-shell.
* Windows build is now 64 bit, and using it with the 64 bit git for
Windows is fully supported.
* Windows problems with long filenames should be fixed now,
since the Windows build is made with a newer ghc version that works
around the problems.
* stack.yaml: Build with http-client-0.5.14 to get a bug fix to http header
parsing.
* Drop support for building with ghc older than 8.4.4,
and with older versions of serveral haskell libraries.
* Support building with socks-0.6 and persistant-template-2.7.

* get, move, copy, sync: When -J or annex.jobs has enabled concurrency,
checksum verification uses a separate job pool than is used for
downloads, to keep bandwidth saturated.
* Other commands also run their cleanup phase using a separate job pool
than their perform phase, which may make some of them somewhat faster
when running concurrently as well.
* When downloading an url and the destination file exists but is empty,
avoid using http range to resume, since a range "bytes=0-" is an unusual
edge case that it's best to avoid relying on working. This is known to
fix a case where importfeed downloaded a partial feed from such a server.

* Makefile: Added install-completions to install target.
* Added the ability to run one job per CPU (core), by setting
annex.jobs=cpus, or using option --jobs=cpus or -Jcpus.
* Honor preferred content of a special remote when exporting trees to it;
unwanted files are filtered out of the tree that is exported.
* Importing from a special remote honors its preferred content too;
unwanted files are not imported. But, some preferred content
expressions can't be checked before files are imported, and trying to
import with such an expression will fail.
* Don't try to import .git directories from special remotes, because
git does not support storing git repositories inside a git repository.
* Improve shape of commit tree when importing from unversioned special
remotes.
* init: When the repository already has a description, don't change it.
* describe: When run with no description parameter it used to set
the description to "", now it will error out.
* Android: Improve installation process when the user's login shell is not
bash.
* When a remote is configured to be readonly, don't allow changing
what's exported to it.
* Renamed annex.security.allowed-http-addresses to
annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses because it is not really specific
to the http protocol, also limiting eg, git-annex's use of ftp.
The old name for the config will still work.
* Add back support for ftp urls, which was disabled as part of the fix for
security hole CVE-2018-10857 (except for configurations which enabled curl
and bypassed public IP address restrictions). Now it will work
if allowed by annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses.
* Avoid a delay at startup when concurrency is enabled and there are
rsync or gcrypt special remotes, which was caused by git-annex

* S3: When versioning is enabled on a bucket, importing from it will
import old versions of files that were written to the bucket as well
as the current versions. A git history is synthesized to reflect the way
the bucket changed over time.
* Fix bug that caused importing from a special remote to repeatedly
download unchanged files when multiple files in the remote have the same

* Made git-annex sync --content much faster when all the remotes it's
syncing with are export/import remotes.
* sync: When listing contents on an import remote fails, proceed with
other syncing instead of aborting.

a special remote. Especially useful when you want to reuse the name
of an old remote for something new.
* Drop support for building with aws older than 0.14.
* info: Show when a remote is configured with importtree.

(To update the config of existing repositories, you can
re-run git-annex init.)
* fsck: Detect situations where annex.thin has caused data loss

This allows downloads of files that were exported to such a remote

* init: Don't let --force be used to override a .noannex file,
instead the user can just delete the file.
* webdav: Exporting files with '#' or '?' in their name won't work because
urls get truncated on those. Fail in a better way in this case,
and avoid failing when removing such files from the export, so
after the user has renamed the problem files the export will succeed.

* sync --content: Fix dropping unwanted content from the local repository.
* sync --content: Support dropping local content that has reached an
exporttree remote that is not untrusted (currently only S3 remotes
with versioning).
* init: When --version=5 is passed on a crippled filesystem,
use a v5 direct mode repo as requested, rather than upgrading to v7
adjusted unlocked. (Fixes test suite on crippled filesystems.)
* Some optimisations, including a 10x faster timestamp parser,
a 7x faster key parser, and improved parsing and serialization of
git-annex branch data. Many commands will run 5-15% faster.
* Stricter parser for keys doesn't allow doubled fields or out of order fields.
* The benchmark command, which only had some old benchmarking of the sqlite
databases before, now allows benchmarking any other git-annex commands.
* Support being built with ghc 8.6.3 (MonadFail).
* Removed old code that cleaned up after a bug in git-annex versions
3.20111105-3.20111110. In the unlikely event that a repo was
last touched by that ancient git-annex version, the descriptions
of remotes would appear missing when used with this version of
git-annex.
* Improve uuid.log parser to preserve whitespace in repo descriptions.
* Improve activity.log parser to not remove unknown values,
allowing for future expansion.
* addunused, merge, assistant: Avoid creating work tree files in
subdirectories in an edge case where the key contains "/".
* testremote: Support testing readonly remotes with the --test-readonly option.
* Switch to using .git/annex/othertmp for tmp files other than partial
downloads, and make stale files left in that directory when git-annex
is interrupted be cleaned up promptly by subsequent git-annex processes.
* The .git/annex/misctmp directory is no longer used and git-annex will
delete anything lingering in there after it's 1 week old.
* Estimated time to completion display shortened from eg "1h1m1s" to "1h1m".
* Fix doubled progress display when downloading an url when -J is used.
* unused: Update suggested git log message to see where data was previously
used so it will also work with v7 unlocked pointer files.
* importfeed: Better error message when downloading the feed fails.
* Make test suite work better when the temp directory is on NFS.
* webapp: Remove configurator for box.com repository, since their
webdav support is going away at the end of this January.
* webapp: Remove configurator for gitlab, which stopped supporting git-annex
some time ago.
* Android: For armv71 architecture, use the armel build.
* Windows: If 64 bit git is installed, use it when installing git-annex.
(However, rsync still won't work and this is still not the documented way
to install it.)

* S3: Improve diagnostics when a remote is configured with exporttree and
versioning, but no S3 version id has been recorded for a key.
* findref: Support file matching options: --include, --exclude,
--want-get, --want-drop, --largerthan, --smallerthan, --accessedwithin
* Commands supporting --branch now apply file matching options --include,
--exclude, --want-get, --want-drop to filenames from the branch.
Previously, combining --branch with those would fail to match anything.
* add, import, findref: Support --time-limit.
* Add --branch option to git-annex find and mildly deprecate findref in
favor of it.
* webdav: When initializing, avoid trying to make a directory at the top of
the webdav server, which could never accomplish anything and failed on
nextcloud servers. (Reversion introduced in version 6.20170925.)
* Fix a case where upgrade to v7 caused git to think that unlocked files
were modified.
* Fix bug upgrading from direct mode to v7: when files in the repository
were already committed as v7 unlocked files elsewhere, and the
content was present in the direct mode repository, the annexed files
got their full content checked into git.
* Fix bug that caused v7 unlocked files in a direct mode repository
to get locked when committing.

when it was build with torrentparser.
Thanks, Robert Schütz
* When running youtube-dl to get a filename, pass --no-playlist.
* Fix build without concurrent-output.
* init: When a crippled filesystem causes an adjusted unlocked branch to
be used, set repo version to 7, which it neglected to do before.
* init: When on a crippled filesystem, and the git version is too old
to use an adjusted unlocked branch, fall back to using direct mode.
* info: When used with an exporttree remote, includes an "exportedtree"
info, which is the tree last exported to the remote. During an export
conflict, multiple values will be listed.
* dropunused: When an unused object file has gotten modified, eg due to
annex.thin being set, don't silently skip it, but display a warning
and let --force drop it.
* annex.cachecreds: New config to allow disabling of credentials caching
for special remotes.

* git-annex-shell: Fix hang when transferring the same objects to two
different clients at the same time. (Or when annex.pidlock is used,
two different objects.)
* Fixed some other potential hangs in the P2P protocol.
* Fix bash completion of "git annex" to propertly handle files with
spaces and other problem characters. (Completion of "git-annex"
already did.)
* Fix resume of download of url when the whole file content is
already actually downloaded.
* When an export conflict prevents accessing a special remote,
be clearer about what the problem is and how to resolve it.
* export, sync --content: Avoid unnecessarily trying to upload files
to an exporttree remote that already contains the files.
* smudge: When passed a file located outside the working tree, eg by git
diff, avoid erroring out.
* drop -J: Avoid processing the same key twice at the same time when
multiple annexed files use it.
* When a command is operating on multiple files and there's an error
with one, try harder to continue to the rest. (As was already done
for many types of errors including IO errors.)
* Fixed a crash when using -J with ssh password prompts in
--quiet/--json mode.
Thanks to Yaroslav Halchenko and the DataLad&ReproNim team for
helping to track down this bug.
* Remove esqueleto dependency to allow upgrading other dependencies to
newer versions.

git-annex (7.20181031) upstream; urgency=medium
* Added v7 repository mode. v6 upgrades automatically to v7, but
v5 is still the default for now. While v6 was always experimental
to some degree, its successor v7 is ready for production use!
http://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/unlocked_files/
* Direct mode repositories are deprecated; they have many problems
that v7 fixes, so upgrading them now is recommended (but not yet
required): git annex upgrade --version=7
* init: When in a crippled filesystem, initialize a v7 repository
using an adjusted unlocked branch, instead of a direct mode repository.
* At long last there's a way to hide annexed files whose content
is missing from the working tree: git-annex adjust --hide-missing
See https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/hiding_missing_files/
* When already in an adjusted branch, running git-annex adjust
again will update the branch as needed. This is mostly
useful with --hide-missing to hide/unhide files after their content
has been dropped or received.
* git-annex sync --content supports --hide-missing; it can
be used to get the content of hidden files, and it updates the
adjusted branch to hide/unhide files as necessary.
* smudge: The smudge filter no longer provides git with annexed
file content, to avoid a git memory leak, and because that did not
honor annex.thin. Now git annex smudge --update has to be run
after a checkout to update unlocked files in the working tree
with annexed file contents.
* v7 init, upgrade: Install git post-checkout and post-merge hooks that run
git annex smudge --update.
* precommit: Run git annex smudge --update, because the post-merge
hook is not run when there is a merge conflict. So the work tree will
be updated when a commit is made to resolve the merge conflict.
* Note that git has no hooks run after git stash or git cherry-pick,
so the user will have to manually run git annex smudge --update
after such commands.
* Removed the old Android app.
* Removed support for building with very old ghc < 8.0.1,
and with yesod < 1.4.3, and without concurrent-output,
which were only being used for the Android cross build.
* Webapp: Fix termux detection.
* runshell: Use system locales when built with
GIT_ANNEX_PACKAGE_INSTALL set. (For Neurodebian packages.)
* Fix database inconsistency that could cause git-annex to
get confused about whether a locked file's content was present.
* Fix concurrency bug that occurred on the first download from an
exporttree remote.
* init --version=6 will still work, but the repository is auto-upgraded
immediately to v7.
* When annex.thin is set, allow hard links to be made between executable
work tree files and annex objects.
* addurl: Removed undocumented special case in handling of a CHECKURL-MULTI
response with only a single file listed. Rather than ignoring the url that
was in the response, use it.
* webapp: Fixed a crash when adding a git remote.
(Reversion introduced in version 6.20180112)
* migrate: Fix failure to migrate from URL keys.
(Reversion introduced in version 6.20180926)
* Cache high-resolution mtimes for improved detection of modified files
in v7 (and direct mode).

* Added annex.jobs setting, which is like using the -J option.
* Fix reversion in support of annex.web-options.
* rmurl: Fix a case where removing the last url left git-annex thinking
content was still present in the web special remote.
* SETURLPRESENT, SETURIPRESENT, SETURLMISSING, and SETURIMISSING
used to update the presence information of the external special remote
that called them; this was not documented behavior and is no longer done.

* Fixes a reversion in the last release that broke interoperation with
older versions of git-annex-shell.
* init: Improve generated post-receive hook, so it won't fail when
run on a system whose git-annex is too old to support git-annex post-receive
* init: Update the post-receive hook when re-run in an existing repository.
* S3: Fix url construction bug when the publicurl has been set to an url
that does not end with a slash.
* --debug shows urls accessed by git-annex, like it used to do when
git-annex used wget and curl.
* Fix support for filenames containing newlines when querying git
cat-file, though less efficiently than other filenames.
This should make git-annex fully support filenames containing newlines
as the rest of git's interface is used in newline-safe ways.
* Added -z option to git-annex commands that use --batch, useful for
supporting filenames containing newlines.
* Added annex.maxextensionlength for use cases where extensions longer
than 4 characters are needed.
* Added remote.name.annex-security-allow-unverified-downloads, a
per-remote setting for annex.security.allow-unverified-downloads.
* More FreeBSD build fixes.

* When --batch is used with matching options like --in, --metadata,
etc, only operate on the provided files when they match those options.
Otherwise, a blank line is output in the batch protocol.
Affected commands: find, add, whereis, drop, copy, move, get
* Make metadata --batch combined with matching options refuse to run,
since it does not seem worth supporting that combination.
* v6 add: Take advantage of improved SIGPIPE handler in git 2.5 to
speed up the clean filter by not reading the file content from the
pipe. This also avoids git buffering the whole file content in memory.
* v6: After updating the worktree for an add/drop, update git's index,
so git status will not show the files as modified.
* v6: When annex.largefiles is not configured for a file, running git
add or git commit, or otherwise using git to stage a file
will add it to the annex if the file was in the annex before,
and to git otherwise. This is to avoid accidental conversion.
Note that git-annex add's behavior has not changed.
* v6: Update associated files database when git has staged changes
to pointer files.
* v6: Fix some race conditions.
* v6: Fix annex object file permissions when git-annex add is run
on a modified unlocked file, and in some related cases.
* v6: When a file is unlocked but has not been modified,
and the unlocking is only staged, git-annex add did not lock it.
Now it will, for consistency with how modified files are handled and
with v5.
* Fix git command queue to be concurrency safe.
* linux standalone: When LOCPATH is already set, use it instead of the
bundled locales. It can be set to an empty string to use the system
locales too.
* Stop using external hash programs, since cryptonite is faster.
* Fix build on FreeBSD.
* S3: Support buckets with versioning enabled. When a remote
is configured with exporttree=yes versioning=yes, git-annex can
download past versions of exported files from it.
* S3: Multipart uploads are now only supported when git-annex is built
with aws-0.16.0 or later, as earlier versions of the library don't
support versioning with multipart uploads.
* S3: Support AWS_SESSION_TOKEN.
* Don't use GIT_PREFIX when GIT_WORK_TREE=. because it seems git
does not intend GIT_WORK_TREE to be relative to GIT_PREFIX in that
case, despite GIT_WORK_TREE=.. being relative to GIT_PREFIX.
* Don't use GIT_PREFIX to fix up a relative GIT_DIR, because
git 2.11 sets GIT_PREFIX to a path it's not relative to.
and apparently GIT_DIR is never relative to GIT_PREFIX.
* git-annex.cabal: Fix build without assistant, and some other refinements.

* Support configuring remote.web.annex-cost and remote.bittorrent.annex-cost
* addurl: When security configuration prevents downloads with youtube-dl,
still check if the url is one that it supports, and fail downloading
it, instead of downloading the raw web page.
* Send User-Agent and any configured annex.http-headers when downloading
with http, fixes reversion introduced when switching to http-client.
* Fix reversion introduced in version 6.20180316 that caused git-annex to
stop processing files when unable to contact a ssh remote.
* v6: Work around git bug that runs smudge/clean filters at the top of the
repository while passing them a relative GIT_WORK_TREE that may point
outside of the repository, by using GIT_PREFIX to get back to the
subdirectory where a relative GIT_WORK_TREE is valid.
* p2p --pair: Fix interception of the magic-wormhole pairing code,
which since 0.8.2 it has sent to stderr rather than stdout.
* info: Display uuid and description when a repository is identified by
uuid, and for "here".
* unused --from: Allow specifiying a repository by uuid or description.
* linux standalone: Generate locale files in ~/.cache/git-annex/locales/
so they're available even when the standalone tarball is installed

Security fix release for CVE-2018-10857 and CVE-2018-10859
https://git-annex.branchable.com/security/CVE-2018-10857_and_CVE-2018-10859/
* Refuse to download content, that cannot be verified with a hash,
from encrypted special remotes (for CVE-2018-10859),
and from all external special remotes and glacier (for CVE-2018-10857).
In particular, URL and WORM keys stored on such remotes won't
be downloaded. If this affects your files, you can run
`git-annex migrate` on the affected files, to convert them
to use a hash.
* Added annex.security.allow-unverified-downloads, which can override
the above.
* Added annex.security.allowed-url-schemes setting, which defaults
to only allowing http, https, and ftp URLs. Note especially that file:/
is no longer enabled by default.
* Removed annex.web-download-command, since its interface does not allow
supporting annex.security.allowed-url-schemes across redirects.
If you used this setting, you may want to instead use annex.web-options
to pass options to curl.
* git-annex will refuse to download content from http servers on
localhost, or any private IP addresses, to prevent accidental
exposure of internal data. This can be overridden with the
annex.security.allowed-http-addresses setting.
* Local http proxies will not be used unless allowed by the
annex.security.allowed-http-addresses setting.
* Since the interfaces to curl and youtube-dl do not have a way to
prevent them from accessing localhost or private IP addresses,
they default to not being used for url downloads.
Only when annex.security.allowed-http-addresses=all will curl and
youtube-dl be used.
Non-security fix changes:
* Fix build with ghc 8.4+, which broke due to the Semigroup Monoid change.
* version: Show operating system and repository version list
when run outside a git repo too.
* Fix annex-checkuuid implementation, so that remotes configured that
way can be used.
* Fix problems accessing repositories over http when annex.tune.*
is configured.
* External special remotes can now add info to `git annex info $remote`,
by replying to the GETINFO message.
* adb: Android serial numbers are not all 16 characters long, so accept
other lengths.
* Display error messages that come from git-annex-shell when the p2p
protocol is used, so that diskreserve messages, IO errors, etc from
the remote side are visible again.
* When content has been lost from an export remote and
git-annex fsck --from remote has noticed it's gone, re-running
git-annex export or git-annex sync --content will re-upload it.

of such files works the same as it used to with wget and curl.
* Workaround for bug in an old version of cryptonite that broke https
downloads, by using curl for downloads when git-annex is built with it.
* view, vadd: Fix crash when a git submodule has a name starting with a dot.
* Don't allow entering a view with staged or unstaged changes.
* move: --force was accidentially enabling two unrelated behaviors
since 6.20180427. The older behavior, which has never been well
documented and seems almost entirely useless, has been removed.
* copy: --force no longer does anything.
* migrate: Fix bug in migration between eg SHA256 and SHA256E,
that caused the extension to be included in SHA256 keys,
and omitted from SHA256E keys.
(Bug introduced in version 6.20170214)
* migrate: Check for above bug when migrating from SHA256 to SHA256
(and same for SHA1 to SHA1 etc), and remove the extension that should
not be in the SHA256 key.
* fsck: Detect and warn when keys need an upgrade, either to fix up
from the above migrate bug, or to add missing size information
(a long ago transition), or because of a few other past key related
bugs.
* git-annex-shell: GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_APPENDONLY makes it allow writes,
but not deletion of annexed content. Note that securing pushes to

* move: Now takes numcopies configuration, and required content
configuration into account, and refuses to reduce the current
number of copies of a file, or remove content that a repository
requires. --force can override these checks.
Note that it's still allowed to move the content of a file
from one repository to another when numcopies is not satisfied, as long
as the move does not result in there being fewer copies.
* Fix mangling of --json output of utf-8 characters when not
running in a utf-8 locale.
* Fix build with yesod 1.6.
* Clean up some build warnings with newer versions of ghc and haskell

* New protocol for communicating with git-annex-shell increases speed
of operations involving ssh remotes. When not transferring large files,
git-annex is between 200% and 400% faster using the new protocol,
and it's just as fast as before when transferring large files.
(When the remote has an old git-annex-shell, git-annex falls back
to the old slower code. This fallback is planned to be removed
after 5 years or so.)
* Note that, due to not using rsync to transfer files over ssh
any longer, permissions and other file metadata of annexed files
will no longer be preserved when copying them to and from ssh remotes.
Other remotes never supported preserving that information, so
this is not considered a regression.
* Fix data loss bug in content locking over tor, when the remote
repository is in direct mode, it neglected to check that the content
was actually present when locking it. This could cause git annex drop
to remove the only copy of a file when it thought the tor remote had
a copy.
* Fix data loss bug when the local repository uses direct mode, and a
locally modified file is dropped from a remote repsitory. The bug
caused the modified file to be counted as a copy of the original file.
(This is not a severe bug because in such a situation, dropping
from the remote and then modifying the file is allowed and has the same
end result.)
* Some downloads will be verified, even when annex.verify=false.
This is done in some edge cases where there's a likelyhood than an
object was downloaded incorrectly.
* Support exporttree=yes for rsync special remotes.
* Added backends for the BLAKE2 family of hashes, when built with
a new enough version of cryptonite.
* Improve SHA*E extension extraction code to not treat parts of the
filename that contain punctuation or other non-alphanumeric characters
as extensions. Before, such characters were filtered out.
* Better ssh connection warmup when using -J for concurrency.
Avoids ugly messages when forced ssh command is not git-annex-shell.
* Fix race condition in ssh warmup that caused git-annex to get
stuck and never process some files when run with high levels of
concurrency.
* Fix reversion introduced in 6.20171214 that caused concurrent
transfers to incorrectly fail with "transfer already in progress".
* Note that Remote/Git.hs now contains AGPL licensed code,
thus the license of git-annex as a whole is AGPL. This was already
the case when git-annex was built with the webapp enabled.
* Include amount of data transferred in progress display.
* Dial back optimisation when building on arm, which prevents
ghc and llc from running out of memory when optimising some files.
(Unfortunately this fix is incomplete due to a ghc bug.)

* inprogress: Avoid showing failures for files not in progress.
* Added INFO to external special remote protocol.
* Added EXTENSIONS to external special remote protocol.
* datalad < 0.9.1 had a problem in its special remote protocol handling
which is broken by EXTENSIONS. Make the debian git-annex package
conflict with the problem version of datalad.
* fsck: Warn when required content is not present in the repository that
requires it.
* Add gpg-agent to Build-Depends.
Needed to run the test suite.
* --json: When there are multiple lines of notes about a file, make the note
field multiline, rather than the old behavior of only including the
last line.
* git-annex.cabal: Once more try to not build the assistant on the hurd,
hopefully hackage finally recognises that OS.
* Split Test.hs and avoid optimising it much, to need less memory to
compile.
* Fix behavior of --json-progress followed by --json, the latter option
used to disable the former.
* Added --json-error-messages option, which makes messages
that would normally be output to standard error be included in
the json output.
* Remove temporary code added in 6.20160619 to prime the mergedrefs
log.
* importfeed: Fix a failure when downloading with youtube-dl
and the destination subdirectory does not exist yet.
* Added annex.merge-annex-branches config setting which
can be used to disable automatic merge of git-annex branches.
* tips/automatically_adding_metadata/pre-commit-annex: Fix to not
silently skip filenames containing non-ascii characters.
* sync: Fix bug that prevented pulling changes into direct mode
repositories that were committed to remotes using git commit
rather than git-annex sync.
* Makefile: Remove chrpath workaround for bug in cabal,
which is no longer needed.

* Added inprogress command for accessing files as they are being
downloaded.
* Fix bug introduced in version 6.20171018 that caused some commands
to print out "ok" twice after processing a file.
* addurl: When the file youtube-dl will download is already an annexed
file, don't download it again and fail to overwrite it, instead just do
nothing, like it used to when quvi was used.
* addurl: Fix encoding of filename queried from youtube-dl when in
--fast mode.
* Fix several places where files in .git/annex/ were written with modes
that did not take the core.sharedRepository config into account.
* Improve startup time for commands that do not operate on remotes,
and for tab completion, by not unnessessarily statting paths to
remotes, which used to cause eg, spin-up of removable drives.
* Added remote.<name>.annex-checkuuid config, which can be set to false
to disable the default checking of the uuid of remotes that point to
directories. This can be useful to avoid unnecessary drive spin-ups and
automounting.
* git-annex.cabal: Add back custom-setup stanza, so cabal new-build works.
* git-annex.cabal: Removed the testsuite build flag; test suite is always
included.

* Use youtube-dl rather than quvi to download media from web pages,
since quvi is not being actively developed and youtube-dl supports
many more sites.
* addurl --relaxed got slower, since youtube-dl has to hit the network
to check for embedded media. If you relied on --relaxed not hitting the
network for speed reasons, using --relaxed --raw will get the old level
of speed, but can't be used for urls with embedded videos.
* importfeed now downloads things linked to by feeds, even when they are
not media files.
* Removed no longer needed dependency on yesod-default.
* Allow exporttree remotes to be marked as dead.
* initremote, enableremote: Really support gpg subkeys suffixed with an
exclamation mark, which forces gpg to use a specific subkey.
(Previous try had a bug.)
* lookupkey: Support being given an absolute filename to a file
within the current git repository.
* A top-level .noannex file will prevent git-annex init from being used
in a repository. This is useful for repositories that have a policy
reason not to use git-annex. The content of the file will be displayed
to the user who tries to run git-annex init.

the file being moved into the annex, with no symlink yet created.
* webdav: Avoid unncessisarily creating the collection at the top
of the repository when storing files there, since that collection
is created by initremote.
(This seems to work around some brokenness of the box.com webdav
server, which caused uploads to be very slow or sometimes fail.)

method and path.
* metadata: Added --remove-all.
* Warn when metadata is inherited from a previous version of a file,
to avoid the user being surprised in cases where that behavior is not
desired or expected.
* sync: Added --cleanup, which removes local and remote synced/ branches.
* external: When the external special remote program crashed, a newline
could be output, which messed up the expected output for --batch mode.
* external: Avoid checking EXPORTSUPPORTED for special remotes that are
not configured to use exports.
* test: Fix reversion that made it only run inside a git repository.
* copy, move: Behave same with --fast when sending to remotes located
on a local disk as when sending to other remotes.
* Fix process and file descriptor leak that was exposed when
git-annex was built with ghc 8.2.1. Broke git-annex test on OSX
due to running out of FDs, and may have also leaked in other situations.

* Implemented export to directory, S3, and webdav special remotes.
* External special remote protocol extended to support export.
Developers of external special remotes should consider if export makes
sense for them and add support.
* sync, assistant: Update tracking exports.
* Support building with feed-1.0, while still supporting older versions.
* init: Display an additional message when it detects a filesystem that
allows writing to files whose write bit is not set.
* S3: Allow removing files from IA.
* webdav: Checking if a non-existent file is present on Box.com
triggered a bug in its webdav support that generates an infinite series
of redirects. Deal with such problems by assuming such behavior means
the file is not present.
* webdav: Fix lack of url-escaping of filenames. Mostly impacted exports
of filenames containing eg spaces.

be used by an attacker who provides a crafted repository url
to cause the victim to execute arbitrary code via -oProxyCommand.
CVE-2017-12976

* git-annex.cabal: Deal with breaking changes in Cabal 2.0.
* Fix build with QuickCheck 2.10.
* fsck: Support --json.
* move, copy: Support --batch.
* Added GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK environment variable, which can be used to
override the default timestamps used in log files in the git-annex
branch. This is a dangerous environment variable; use with caution.
* Fix a git-annex test failure when run on NFS due to NFS lock files
preventing directory removal.
* test: Avoid most situations involving failure to delete test
directories, by forking a worker process and only deleting the test
directory once it exits.
* Disable http-client's default 30 second response timeout when HEADing
an url to check if it exists. Some web servers take quite a long time
to answer a HEAD request.
* Added remote configuration settings annex-ignore-command and
annex-sync-command, which are dynamic equivilants of the annex-ignore
and annex-sync configurations.
* Prevent spaces from being embedded in the name of new WORM keys,
as that handing spaces in keys would complicate things like the
external special remote protocol.
* migrate: WORM keys containing spaces will be migrated to not contain
spaces anymore.
* External special remotes will refuse to operate on keys with spaces in
their names. That has never worked correctly due to the design of the
external special remote protocol. Display an error message suggesting
migration.
* Fix incorrect external special remote documentation, which said that
the filename parameter to the TRANSFER command could not contain
spaces. It can in fact contain spaces. Special remotes implementors
that relied on that may need to fix bugs in their special remotes.
* Fix the external special remotes git-annex-remote-ipfs,
git-annex-remote-torrent and the example.sh template to correctly
support filenames with spaces.

a transfer does not resume.
* Fix transfer log file locking problem when running concurrent

* Avoid concurrent git-config setting problem when running concurrent

* metadata: When setting metadata of a file that did not exist,
no error message was displayed, unlike getting metadata and most other
git-annex commands. Fixed this oversight.
* Added annex.resolvemerge configuration, which can be set to false to
disable the usual automatic merge conflict resolution done by git-annex
sync and the assistant.
* sync: Added --no-resolvemerge option.
* Avoid error about git-annex-shell not being found when
syncing with -J with a git remote where git-annex-shell is not
installed.
* Fix bug that prevented transfer locks from working when
run on SMB or other filesystem that does not support fcntl locks
and hard links.
* assistant: Merge changes from refs/remotes/foo/master into master.
Previously, only sync branches were merged. This makes regular git push
into a repository watched by the assistant auto-merge.
* Makefile: Install completions for the fish and zsh shells
when git-annex is built with optparse-applicative-0.14.
* assistant: Don't trust OSX FSEvents's eventFlagItemModified to be called
when the last writer of a file closes it; apparently that sometimes

When ssh connection caching is enabled (and when GIT_ANNEX_USE_GIT_SSH

only one ssh password prompt will be made at a time.
* When built with concurrent-output 1.9, ssh password prompts will no
longer interfere with the -J display.

* multicast: New command, uses uftp to multicast annexed files, for eg
a classroom setting.
* Added remote.<name>.annex-push and remote.<name>.annex-pull
which can be useful to make remotes that don't get fully synced with
local changes.
* Disable git-annex's support for GIT_SSH and GIT_SSH_COMMAND, unless
GIT_ANNEX_USE_GIT_SSH=1 is also set in the environment. This is
necessary because as feared, the extra -n parameter that git-annex
passes breaks uses of these environment variables that expect exactly
the parameters that git passes.
* enableremote: When enabling a non-special remote, param=value
parameters can't be used, so error out if any are provided.
* enableremote: Fix re-enabling of special remotes that have a git
url, so that eg, encryption key changes take effect. They were silently
ignored, a reversion introduced in 6.20160527.
* gcrypt: Support re-enabling to change eg, encryption parameters.
This was never supported before.
* git annex add -u now supported, analagous to git add -u
* version: Added "dependency versions" line.
* Keys marked as dead are now skipped by --all.
* annex.backend is the new name for what was annex.backends, and takes
a single key-value backend, rather than the unnecessary and confusing

* status: Propigate nonzero exit code from git status.
* Linux standalone builds put the bundled ssh last in PATH,
so any system ssh will be preferred over it.
* assistant: Add 1/200th second delay between checking each file
in the full transfer scan, to avoid using too much CPU.
* get -J: Improve distribution of jobs amoung remotes when there are more
jobs than remotes.
* fsck -q: When a file has bad content, include the name of the file
in the warning message.
* Windows: Improve handling of shebang in external special remote
program, searching for the program in the PATH.
* Drop support for building with old versions of dns, http-conduit,
directory, feed, and http-types.
* Windows: Fix bug in shell script shebang lookup code that
caused a "delayed read on closed handle" error.
* git-annex-shell: Fix bug when used with a recently cloned repository,
where "merging" messages were included in the output of configlist
(and perhaps other commands) and caused a "Failed to get annex.uuid
configuration" error.
* Support GIT_SSH and GIT_SSH_COMMAND, which are handled close the same
as they are by git. However, unlike git, git-annex sometimes needs to
pass the -n parameter when using these.
* sync --content-of=path (-C path) added for when you want to sync

git-annex (6.20170228) unstable; urgency=medium
* Cryptographically secure hashes can be forced to be used in a
repository, by setting annex.securehashesonly.
This does not prevent the git repository from containing links
to insecure hashes, but it does prevent the content of such files
from being added to .git/annex/objects by any method.
* Tighten key parser to prevent SHA1 collision attacks generating
two keys that have the same SHA1. (Only done for keys that contain
a hash). This ensures that signed git commits of annexed files
will remain secure, as long as git-annex is using a secure hashing
backend.
* fsck: Warn about any files whose content is present, that don't
use secure hashes, when annex.securehashesonly is set.
* init: When annex.securehashesonly has been set with git-annex config,
copy that value to the annex.securehashesonly git config.
* Added --securehash option to match files using a secure hash function,
and corresponding securehash preferred content expression.
* sync, merge: Fail when the current branch has no commits yet, instead
of not merging in anything from remotes and appearing to succeed.
* Run ssh with -n whenever input is not being piped into it,
to avoid it consuming stdin that it shouldn't.
This fixes git-annex-checkpresentkey --batch remote,
which didn't output results for all keys passed into it. Other
git-annex commands that communicate with a remote over ssh may also
have been consuming stdin that they shouldn't have, which could have
impacted using them in eg, shell scripts.
* sync: Improve integration with receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead,
displaying error messages from the remote then it fails to update
its checked out branch.
* Added post-recieve hook, which makes updateInstead work with direct
mode and adjusted branches.
* init: Set up the post-receive hook.
* sync: When syncing with a local repository located on a crippled
filesystem, run the post-receive hook there, since it wouldn't get run
otherwise. This makes pushing to repos on FAT-formatted removable
drives update them when receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead.
* config group groupwanted numcopies schedule wanted required:
Avoid displaying extraneous messages about repository auto-init,
git-annex branch merging, etc, when being used to get information.
* adjust: Fix behavior when used in a repository that contains
submodules.
* Run wget with -nv instead of -q, so it will display HTTP errors.
* Run curl with -S, so HTTP errors are displayed, even when
it's otherwise silent.
* When downloading in --json or --quiet mode, use curl in preference
to wget, since curl is able to display only errors to stderr, unlike
wget.
* status: Pass --ignore-submodules=when option on to git status.
* config --set: As well as setting value in git-annex branch,
set local gitconfig. This is needed especially for
annex.securehashesonly, which is read only from local gitconfig and not
the git-annex branch.
* Removed support for building with the old cryptohash library.
Building with that library made git-annex not support SHA3; it's time
for that to always be supported in case SHA2 dominoes.
* git-annex.cabal: Make crypto-api a dependency even when built w/o
webapp and test suite.

* Increase default cost for p2p remotes from 200 to 1000.
This makes git-annex prefer transferring data from special
remotes when possible.
* Remove -j short option for --json-progress; that option was already
taken for --json.
* vicfg: Include the numcopies configuation.
* config: New command for storing configuration in the git-annex branch.
* annex.autocommit can be configured via git-annex config, to control
the default behavior in all clones of a repository.
* New annex.synccontent config setting, which can be set to true to make
git annex sync default to --content. This may become the default at
some point in the future. As well as being configuable by git config,
it can be configured by git-annex config to control the default
behavior in all clones of a repository.
* stack.yaml: Update to lts-7.18.
* Some optimisations to string splitting code.
* unused: When large files are checked right into git, avoid buffering
their contents in memory.
* unused: Improved memory use significantly when there are a lot
of differences between branches.
* Wormhole pairing will start to provide an appid to wormhole on
2021-12-31. An appid can't be provided now because Debian stable is going
to ship a older version of git-annex that does not provide an appid.
Assumption is that by 2021-12-31, this version of git-annex will be
shipped in a Debian stable release. If that turns out to not be the
case, this change will need to be cherry-picked into the git-annex in
Debian stable, or its wormhole pairing will break.
* Fix build with aws 0.16. Thanks, aristidb.
* assistant: Make --autostart --foreground wait for the children it
starts. Before, the --foreground was ignored when autostarting.
* initremote: When a uuid= parameter is passed, use the specified
UUID for the new special remote, instead of generating a UUID.
This can be useful in some situations, eg when the same data can be
accessed via two different special remote backends.
* import: Changed how --deduplicate, --skip-duplicates, and
--clean-duplicates determine if a file is a duplicate.
Before, only content known to be present somewhere was considered
a duplicate. Now, any content that has been annexed before will be
considered a duplicate, even if all annexed copies of the data have
been lost.
Note that --clean-duplicates and --deduplicate still check
numcopies, so won't delete duplicate files unless there's an annexed
copy.
* import: --deduplicate and --skip-duplicates were implemented
inneficiently; they unncessarily hashed each file twice. They have
been improved to only hash once.
* import: Added --reinject-duplicates.
* Added git template directory to Linux standalone tarball and OSX
app bundle.
* Improve pid locking code to work on filesystems that don't support hard
links.
* S3: Fix check of uuid file stored in bucket, which was not working.

* XMPP support has been removed from the assistant in this release.
If your repositories used XMPP to keep in sync, that will no longer
work, and you should enable some other remote to keep them in sync.
A ssh server is one way, or use the new Tor pairing feature.
* p2p --pair makes it easy to pair repositories, over Tor, using
Magic Wormhole codes to find the other repository.
See http://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/peer_to_peer_network_with_tor/
* webapp: The "Share with a friend" and "Share with your other devices"
pages have been changed to pair repositories using Tor and Magic Wormhole.
* metadata --batch: Fix bug when conflicting metadata changes were
made in the same batch run.
* Pass annex.web-options to wget and curl after other options, so that
eg --no-show-progress can be set by the user to disable the default
--show-progress.
* Revert ServerAliveInterval change in 6.20161111, which caused problems
with too many old versions of ssh and unusual ssh configurations.
It should have not been needed anyway since ssh is supposted to
have TCPKeepAlive enabled by default.
* Make all --batch input, as well as fromkey and registerurl stdin
be processed without requiring it to be in the current encoding.
* p2p: --link no longer takes a remote name, instead the --name
option can be used.
* Linux standalone: Improve generation of locale definition files,
supporting locales such as en_GB.UTF-8.
* rekey --force: Incorrectly marked the new key's content as being
present in the local repo even when it was not.
* enable-tor: Put tor sockets in /var/lib/tor-annex/, rather
than in /etc/tor/hidden_service/.
* enable-tor: No longer needs to be run as root.
* enable-tor: When run as a regular user, also tests a connection back to
the hidden service over tor.
* Support all common locations of the torrc file.
* Always use filesystem encoding for all file and handle reads and

to match, and the latter always matched.
* Relicense 5 source files that are not part of the webapp from AGPL to GPL.
* map: Run xdot if it's available in PATH. On OSX, the dot command
does not support graphical display, while xdot does.
* Debian: xdot is a better interactive viewer than dot, so Suggest
xdot, rather than graphviz.

git-annex (6.20161118) unstable; urgency=medium
* git-annex.cabal: Loosen bounds on persistent to allow 2.5, which
on Debian has been patched to work with esqueleto.
This may break cabal's resolver on non-Debian systems;
if so, either use stack to build, or run cabal with
--constraint='persistent ==2.2.4.1'
Hopefully this mess with esqueleto will be resolved soon.
* sync: Pass --allow-unrelated-histories to git merge when used with git
git 2.9.0 or newer. This makes merging a remote into a freshly created
direct mode repository work the same as it works in indirect mode.
* Avoid backtraces on expected failures when built with ghc 8;
only use backtraces for unexpected errors.
* fsck --all --from was checking the existence and content of files
in the local repository, rather than on the special remote. Oops.
* Linux arm standalone: Build with a 32kb page size, which is needed
on several ARM NAS devices, including Drobo 5N, and WD NAS.

git-annex (6.20161111) unstable; urgency=medium
* Restarting a crashing git process could result in filename encoding
issues when not in a unicode locale, as the restarted processes's
handles were not read in raw mode.
* Make .git/annex/ssh.config file work with versions of ssh older than
7.3, which don't support Include. When used with an older version
of ssh, any ServerAliveInterval in ~/.ssh/config will be overridden
by .git/annex/ssh.config.
* S3: Support the special case endpoint needed for the cn-north-1 region.
* Webapp: Don't list the Frankfurt S3 region, as this (and some other new
regions) need V4 authorization which the aws library does not yet use.
* reinject --known: Avoid second, unnecessary checksum of file.
* OSX: Remove RPATHs from git-annex binary, which are not needed,
slow down startup, and break the OSX Sierra linker.
* webapp: Explicitly avoid checking for auth in static subsite
requests. Yesod didn't used to do auth checks for that, but this may
have changed.
* Linux standalone: Avoid using hard links in the tarball so it can be
untarred on eg, afs which does not support them.

git-annex (6.20161027) unstable; urgency=medium
* lock, smudge: Fix edge cases where data loss could occur in v6 mode
when the keys database was not populated.
* upgrade: Handle upgrade to v6 when the repository already contains
v6 unlocked files whose content is already present.
* Improve style of offline html build of website.
* importfeed: Drop URL parameters from file extension.
Thanks, James MacMahon.
* Assistant, repair: Improved filtering out of git fsck lines about
duplicate file entries in tree objects.
* test: Deal with gpg-agent behavior change that broke the test suite.
* Improve ssh socket cleanup code to skip over the cruft that
NFS sometimes puts in a directory when a file is being deleted.
* If a transfer fails for some reason, but some data managed to be sent,
the transfer will be retried. (The assistant already did this.)
* Run ssh with ServerAliveInterval 60, so that stalled transfers will
be noticed within about 3 minutes.
(Any setting in your ~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh/ssh_config
overrides this.)

git-annex (6.20161012) unstable; urgency=medium
* Optimisations to time it takes git-annex to walk working tree and find
files to work on. Sped up by around 18%.
* Optimisations to git-annex branch query and setting, avoiding repeated
copies of the environment. Speeds up commands like
"git-annex find --in remote" by over 50%.
* Optimised git-annex branch log file timestamp parsing.
* Add "total-size" field to --json-progress output.
* Make --json-progress output be shown even when the size of a object
is not known.
* Multiple external special remote processes for the same remote will be
started as needed when using -J. This should not beak any existing
external special remotes, because running multiple git-annex commands
at the same time could already start multiple processes for the same
external special remotes.
* Linux standalone: Include locale files in the bundle, and generate
locale definition files for the locales in use when starting runshell.
(Currently only done for utf-8 locales.)
* Avoid using a lot of memory when large objects are present in the git
repository and have to be checked to see if they are a pointed to an
annexed file. Cases where such memory use could occur included, but
were not limited to:
- git commit -a of a large unlocked file (in v5 mode)
- git-annex adjust when a large file was checked into git directly
* When auto-upgrading a v3 remote, avoid upgrading to version 6,
instead keep it at version 5.
* Support using v3 repositories without upgrading them to v5.
* sync: Fix bug in adjusted branch merging that could cause recently
added files to be lost when updating the adjusted branch.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Wed, 12 Oct 2016 09:37:41 -0400
git-annex (6.20160923) unstable; urgency=medium
* Rate limit console progress display updates to 10 per second.
Was updating as frequently as changes were reported, up to hundreds of
times per second, which used unnecessary bandwidth when running git-annex
over ssh etc.
* Make --json and --quiet work when used with -J.
Previously, -J override the other options.
* addurl, get: Added --json-progress option, which adds progress
objects to the json output.
* Remove key:null from git-annex add --json output.
* copy, move, mirror: Support --json and --json-progress.
* Improve gpg secret key list parser to deal with changes in gpg 2.1.15.
Fixes key name display in webapp.
* info: Support being passed a treeish, and show info about the annexed
files in it similar to how a directory is handled.
* sync: Previously, when run in a branch with a slash in its name,
such as "foo/bar", the sync branch was "synced/bar". That conflicted
with the sync branch used for branch "bar", so has been changed to
"synced/foo/bar".
* Note that if you're using an old version of git-annex to sync with
a branch with a slash in its name, it won't see some changes synced by
this version, and this version won't see some changes synced by the older
version. This is not a problem if there's a central bare repository,
but may impact other configurations until git-annex is upgraded to this
version.
* adjust: Previously, when adjusting a branch with a slash in its name,
such as "foo/bar", the adjusted branch was "adjusted/bar(unlocked)".
That conflicted with the adjusted branch used for branch "bar",
so has been changed to "adjusted/foo/bar(unlocked)"
* Also, running sync in an adjusted branch did not correctly sync
changes back to the parent branch when it had a slash in its name.
This bug has been fixed.
* addurl, importfeed: Improve behavior when file being added is gitignored.

git-annex (6.20160907) unstable; urgency=medium
* Windows: Handle shebang in external special remote program.
* Fix formatting of git-annex-smudge man page, and improve mdwn2man.
Thanks, Jim Paris.
* examimekey: Allow being run in a git repo that is not initialized by
git-annex yet.
* Android: Fix disabling use of cp --reflink=auto, curl, sha224, and sha384.
* Make --json and --quiet suppress automatic init messages, and any
other messages that might be output before a command starts.
Fixes a reversion introduced in version 5.20150727.
* Assistant, repair: Filter out git fsck lines about duplicate file
entries in tree objects.
* get -J, sync --content -J: Download different files from different
remotes when the remotes have the same costs.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Wed, 07 Sep 2016 11:12:11 -0400
git-annex (6.20160808) unstable; urgency=medium
* metadata --json output format has changed, adding a inner json object
named "fields" which contains only the fields and their values.
This should be easier to parse than the old format, which mixed up
metadata fields with other keys in the json object.
Any consumers of the old format will need to be updated.
* Added metadata --batch option, which allows getting, setting, deleting,
and modifying metadata for multiple files/keys.
* Added --branch option to copy, drop, fsck, get, metadata, mirror, move,
and whereis commands. This option makes git-annex operate on files that
are included in a specified branch (or other treeish).
* git-annex.cabal: Temporarily limit to http-conduit <2.2.0
since aws 0.14.0 is not compatible with the newer version.
* git-annex.cabal: Temporarily limit to persistent <2.5
since esqueleto 2.4.3 is not compatible with the newer version.
* Removed dependency on json library; all JSON is now handled by aeson.
* When built with uuid-1.3.12, generate more random UUIDs than before.
(However, this did not impact git-annex much, so a hard depedency has
not been added on uuid-1.3.12.)
* info: When run on a file now includes an indication of whether
the content is present locally.
* get, move, copy, mirror: Added --failed switch which retries
failed copies/moves.
* Re-enable accumulating transfer failure log files for command-line
actions (disabled in 5.20150522), and remove the log files after
successful transfers.

git-annex (6.20160619) unstable; urgency=medium
* get, drop: Add --batch and --json options.
* testremote: Fix crash when testing a freshly made external special remote.
* Remove unnecessary rpaths in the git-annex binary, but only when
it's built using make, not cabal.
This speeds up git-annex startup time by around 50%.
* Speed up startup time by caching the refs that have been merged into
the git-annex branch.
This can speed up git-annex commands by as much as a second,
depending on the number of remotes.
* fsck: Fix a reversion in direct mode fsck of a file that is
present when the location log thinks it is not. Reversion introduced
in version 5.20151208.
* uninit: Fix crash due to trying to write to deleted keys db.
Reversion introduced by v6 mode support, affects v5 too.
* Fix a similar crash when the webapp is used to delete a repository.
* Support checking presence of content at a http url that redirects to
a ftp url.
* log: Added --all option.
* New url for git-remote-gcrypt, now maintained by spwhitton.
* webapp: Don't allow deleting a remote that has syncing disabled,
as such a deletion will never finish.
Thanks, Farhan Kathawala.
* webapp: Escape unusual characters in ssh hostnames when generating
mangled hostnames. This allows IPv6 addresses to be used on filesystems
not supporting : in filenames.
* Avoid any access to keys database in v5 mode repositories, which
are not supposed to use that database.
* Remove the EKG build flag, since Gentoo for some reason decided to
enable this flag, depsite it not being intended for production use and
so disabled by default.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Tue, 19 Jul 2016 14:17:54 -0400
git-annex (6.20160613) unstable; urgency=medium
* Improve SHA*E extension extraction code.
* Windows: Avoid terminating git-annex branch lines with \r\n when
union merging and performing transitions.
* Remove Makefile from cabal tarball; man page building is now handled by
a small haskell program.
* sync --content: Fix bug that caused transfers of files to be made
to a git remote that does not have a UUID. This particularly impacted
clones from gcrypt repositories.
* Pass -S to git commit-tree when commit.gpgsign is set and when
making a non-automatic commit, in order to preserve current behavior
when used with git 2.9, which has stopped doing this itself.
* remotedaemon: Fixed support for notifications of changes to gcrypt
remotes, which was never tested and didn't quite work before.
* list: Do not include dead repositories.
* move --to: Better behavior when system is completely out of disk space;
drop content from disk before writing location log.
* Avoid a crash if getpwuid does not work, when querying the user's full
name.
* Automatically enable v6 mode when initializing in a clone from a repo
that has an adjusted branch checked out.
* v6: Fix initialization of a bare clone of a repo that has an adjusted
branch checked out.
* v6: Fix bad automatic merge conflict resolution between an annexed file
and a directory with the same name when in an adjusted branch.
* v6: Fix bad merge in an adjusted branch that resulted in an empty tree.
* v6: Fix bug in initialization of clone from a repo with an adjusted branch
that had not been synced back to master.
(This bug caused broken tree objects to get built by a later git annex
sync.)
* v6: Make lock and unlock work on files whose content is not present.
* v6: Fix update of associated files db when unlocking a file.
* v6: Make git clean filter preserve the backend that was used for a file.

git-annex (6.20160527) unstable; urgency=medium
* Split lines in the git-annex branch on \r as well as \n, to deal
with \r\n terminated lines written by some versions of git-annex on
Windows. This fixes strange displays in some cases.
* assistant: Fix bug that caused v6 pointer files to be annexed by the
assistant.
* assistant: Fix race in v6 mode that caused downloaded file content to
sometimes not replace pointer files.
* add: Adding a v6 pointer file used to annex it; now the pointer file is
added to git as-is. (git add of a pointer file already did the right
thing)
* enableremote: Can now be used to explicitly enable git-annex to use
git remotes. Using the command this way prevents other git-annex
commands from probing new git remotes to auto-enable them.
* enableremote: Remove annex-ignore configuration from a remote.
* Change git annex info remote encryption description to use wording
closer to what's used in initremote.
* Pass the various gnupg-options configs to gpg in several cases where
they were not before. Most notably, gnupg-decrypt-options is now
passed when decrypting an encrypted cipher.
* adjust: Add --fix adjustment, which is useful when the git directory
is in a nonstandard place.
* adjust: If the adjusted branch already exists, avoid overwriting it,
since it might contain changes that have not yet been propigated to the
original branch.
* Work around git weirdness in handling of relative path to GIT_INDEX_FILE
when in a subdirectory of the repository. This affected git annex view.
* Fix crash when entering/changing view in a subdirectory of a repo that
has a dotfile in its root.
* webapp: Avoid confusing display of dead remotes.
* Support building with ghc 8.0.1.
* Updated cabal file explicitly lists source files. The tarball
on hackage will include only the files needed for cabal install;
it is NOT the full git-annex source tree.
* debian/changelog, debian/NEWS, debian/copyright: Converted to symlinks
to CHANGELOG, NEWS, and COPYRIGHT, which used to symlink to these instead.

git-annex (6.20160511) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix bug that sometimes prevented git-annex smudge --clean from consuming
all its input, which resulted in git add bypassing git-annex.
* Fix build with directory-1.2.6.2.
* Improve behavior when a just added http remote is not available
during uuid probe. Do not mark it as annex-ignore, so it will be tried
again later.
* Android: Icon refresh.
Thanks, freewheelinfranks.
* Added DIRHASH-LOWER to external special remote protocol.
* git-annex.cabal: Add Setup-Depends.
* stack.yaml: Enable explicit-setup-deps.
* Windows: Fix several bugs in propigation of changes from the adjusted
branch back to the master branch.
* Windows: Fix an over-long temp directory name.
* map: Hide dead repositories that are not connected to the graph.
* map: Changed colors; red is used for untrusted repositories and grey
for dead.
* version: Display OS version and architecture too.
* Propigate GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE environment to external special
remotes.
* Added annex.gnupg-decrypt-options and
remote.<name>.annex-gnupg-decrypt-options, which are passed to gpg
when it's decrypting data.
* fsck: When a key is not previously known in the location log,
record something so that reinject --known will work.
* In the unusual configuration where annex.crippledfilesystem=true but
core.symlinks=true, store object contents in mixed case hash
directories so that symlinks will point to them.
* Added new encryption=sharedpubkey mode for special remotes.
This is useful for makking a special remote that anyone with a clone
of the repo and your public keys can upload files to, but only you can
decrypt the files stored in it.

git-annex (6.20160419) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix bug that prevented resuming of uploads to encrypted special remotes
that used chunking.
* That bug could also expose the names of keys to such remotes, so it is a
minor security issue.
* Fix duplicate progress meter display when downloading from a git remote
over http with -J.
* reinject: When src file's content cannot be verified, leave it alone,
instead of deleting it.
* reinject: Added new mode which can reinject known files into the annex.
For example: git-annex reinject --known /mnt/backup/*
* calckey: New plumbing command, calculates the key that would be used
to refer to a file.
* Fix bug that prevented annex.sshcaching=false configuration from taking
effect when on a crippled filesystem. Thanks, divergentdave.
* git 2.9.0 is going to prevent git merge from merging in unrelated
branches. Since the webapp's pairing etc features often combine
together repositories with unrelated histories, work around
this behavior change when the assistant merges, by passing
--allow-unrelated-histories. Note though that this is not done
for git annex sync's merges, so it will follow git's default or
configured behavior.
* When git-annex is used with a git version older than 2.2.0, disable
support for adjusted branches, since GIT_COMMON_DIR is needed to update
them and was first added in that version of git.
* Avoid setting LOCPATH in linux standalone builds that are built with
a ghc that has been fixed to not hang when it cannot find locale files.
* Isolate test suite from global git config settings.

git-annex (6.20160418) unstable; urgency=medium
* smudge: Print a warning when annex.thin is set, as git's smudge
interface does not allow honoring that configuration.
* webapp: When $HOME is a git repository, and has been initialized for
use by git-annex, opening the webapp went ahead and ran the assistant
there, annexing all files. Since this is almost certianly not
desirable, especially when the user is just opening the webapp from
a dekstop menu which happens to run it in $HOME, the webapp will now not
treat such a $HOME git repository as a git-annex repository.
* webapp: Update url to add gitlab.com ssh key.
* Fix bug in v6 mode that prevented treating unlocked executable files
as annexed. If you have such files, run git annex init --version=6
to update the cache after upgrading to this version of git-annex.
* Preserve execute bits of unlocked files in v6 mode.
* fsck: Warn when core.sharedRepository is set and an annex object file's
write bit is not set and cannot be set due to the file being owned
by a different user.
* Fix hang when dropping content needs to lock the content on a
ssh remote, which occurred when the remote has git-annex version
5.20151019 or newer. (The bug was in the client side; the remote
git-annex-shell does not need to be upgraded.)

* Upgrading a direct mode repository to v6 has changed to enter
an adjusted unlocked branch. This makes the direct mode to v6 upgrade
able to be performed in one clone of a repository without affecting
other clones, which can continue using v5 and direct mode.
* init --version=6: Automatically enter the adjusted unlocked branch

* Fix OSX dmg to include libraries needed by bundled gpg,
lost in last release.
* Always try to thaw content, even when annex.crippledfilesystem is set.
* Correct git-annex info to include unlocked files in v6 repository.

* Update perlmagick build dependency. Closes: #789225
* Fix memory leak in last release, which affected commands like
git-annex status when a large non-annexed file is present in the work
tree.
* fsck: When the only copy of a file is in a dead repository, mention
the repository.
* info: Mention when run in a dead repository.
* Linux and OSX standalone builds put the bundled gpg last in PATH,
so any system gpg will be preferred over it.
* Avoid crashing when built with MagicMime support, but when the magic
database cannot be loaded.
* Include magic database in the linux and OSX standalone builds.
* Fix memory leak when hashing files, which triggered during fsck
when an external hash program was not used.
(This leak was introduced in version 6.20160114.)
* Support --metadata field<number, --metadata field>number etc
to match ranges of numeric values.
* Similarly, support preferred content expressions like
metadata=field<number and metadata=field>number
* The pre-commit-annex hook script that automatically extracts
metadata has been updated to also use exiftool.

* checkpresentkey: Allow to be run without an explicit remote.
* checkpresentkey: Added --batch.
* Work around problem with concurrent-output when in a non-unicode locale
by avoiding use of it in such a locale. Instead -J will behave as if
it was built without concurrent-output support in this situation.
* Fix storing of filenames of v6 unlocked files when the filename is not
representable in the current locale.
* fsck: Detect and fix missing associated file mappings in v6 repositories.
* fsck: Populate unlocked files in v6 repositories whose content is
present in annex/objects but didn't reach the work tree.
* When initializing a v6 repo on a crippled filesystem, don't force it
into direct mode.
* Windows: Fix v6 unlocked files to actually work.
* add, addurl, import, importfeed: When in a v6 repository on a crippled

* annex.addsmallfiles: New option controlling what is done when
adding files not matching annex.largefiles.
* Fix reversion in lookupkey, contentlocation, and examinekey which
caused them to sometimes output side messages.
* webapp: Fix deletion of current repository directory.
* Added "nothing" to preferred content expression syntax.
* annex.largefiles can be configured in .gitattributes too;
this is particulary useful for v6 repositories, since the
.gitattributes configuration will apply in all clones of the
repository.
* Limit annex.largefiles parsing to the subset of preferred content
expressions that make sense in its context. So, not "standard"
or "lackingcopies", etc.
* annex.largefiles: Add support for mimetype=text/* etc, when git-annex
is linked with libmagic.
* matchexpression: Added --largefiles option to parse an annex.largefiles
expression.
* Brought back the dbus and xmpp build flags, so build from source can be
done without C libraries that may be hard to install.
* init: Fix bugs in submodule .git symlink fixup, that occurred when
initializing in a subdirectory of a submodule and a submodule of a
submodule.
* WebDAV: Set depth 1 in PROPFIND request, for better compatibility with
some servers. Thanks, wzhd.
* WebDAV: Remove a bogus trailing slash from the end of the url to the
temporary store location for a key. Thanks, wzhd.

* Fix nasty reversion in the last release that broke sync --content's
handling of many preferred content expressions.
* whereis --json: Urls are now listed inside the remote that claims them,
rather than all together at the end.
* info, add, whereis, find: Support --batch mode.
* Force output to be line-buffered, even when it's not connected to the
terminal. This is particuarly important for commands with --batch
output, which was not always being flushed at an appropriate time.
* add, import: Support --json output.
* addurl --json: Include field for added key (unless the file was
added directly to git due to annex.largefiles configuration.)
(Also done by add --json and import --json)
* registerurl: Check if a remote claims the url, same as addurl does.
* Bug fix: Git config settings passed to git-annex -c did not always take
effect.
* assistant: Use udisks2 dbus events to detect when disks are mounted,
instead of relying on gnome/kde stuff that is not stable.
* Fix build with QuickCheck 2.8.2
* matchexpression: New plumbing command to check if a preferred content
expression matches some data.
* Removed the webapp-secure build flag, rolling it into the webapp build
flag.
* Removed the quvi, tahoe, feed, and tfds build flags, adding
aeson feed and regex-tdfa to the core dependencies.
* Roll the dns build flag into the assistant build flag.

git-annex (6.20160114) unstable; urgency=medium
"hexapodia as the key insight"
* Added v6 repository mode, but v5 is still the default for now.
* unlock, lock: In v6 mode, unlocking a file changes it from a symlink to a
pointer file, and this change can be committed to the git repository.
For details, see http://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/unlocked_files/
* The upgrade to version 6 is not done fully automatically yet, because
upgrading a direct mode repository to version 6 will prevent old
versions of git-annex from working in other clones of that repository.
For details, see http://git-annex.branchable.com/upgrades/
* init: --version parameter added to control which supported repository
version to use.
* init, upgrade: Configure .git/info/attributes to use git-annex
as a smudge filter. In v6 repository mode, this makes git add
add files to the annex in unlocked mode, unless overridden by
annex.largefiles configuration.
* assistant: In v6 mode, adds files in unlocked mode, so they can
continue to be modified.
* Added annex.thin setting, which makes unlocked files in v6 repositories
be hard linked to their content, instead of a copy. This saves disk
space but means any modification of an unlocked file will lose the local
(and possibly only) copy of the old version.
* Enable annex.thin by default on upgrade from direct mode to v6, since
direct mode made the same tradeoff.
* fix: Adjusts unlocked files as configured by annex.thin.
* persistent-sqlite is now a hard build dependency, since v6 repository
mode needs it.
* status: On crippled filesystems, was displaying M for all annexed files
that were present. Probably caused by a change to what git status
displays in this situation. Fixed by treating files git thinks are
modified the same as typechanged files.
* addurl: Added --batch and --with-files options.
* addurl: Support --json, particularly useful in --batch mode.
* addurl: Refuse to overwrite any existing, non-annexed file.
* Debian: Adjust build dependencies for webapp, DAV. Now available on
mips, mipsel, but temporarily removed armel since build is failing
there.
* info: Fix "backend usage" numbers, which were counting present keys
twice.
* info --json: Improve json for "backend usage", using a nested object
with fields for each backend instead of the previous weird nested lists.
This may break existing parsers of this json output, if there were any.
* whereis --json: Make url list be included in machine-parseable form.
* test: Added --keep-failures option.
* unused: Bug fix when a new file was added to the annex, and then
removed (but not git rmed). git still has the add staged in this case,
so the content should not be unused and was wrongly treated as such.
* migrate: Copy over metadata to new key.
* rekey: No longer copies over urls from the old to the new key.
It makes sense for migrate to do that, but not for this low-level
(and little used) plumbing command to.
* view: Fix crash in non-unicode capable locale when entering a view
of metadata containing a slash or backslash.
* When annex.http-headers is used to set the User-Agent header, avoid
sending User-Agent: git-annex
* Windows: Fix rsync cross-drive hack to work with msys2 rsync.

* Display progress meter in -J mode when copying from a local git repo,
to a local git repo, and from a remote git repo.
* Display progress meter in -J mode when downloading from the web.
* map: Improve display of git remotes with non-ssh urls, including http
and gcrypt.
* When core.sharedRepository is set, annex object files are not made mode
444, since that prevents a user other than the file owner from locking
them. Instead, a mode such as 664 is used in this case.
* tahoe: Include tahoe capabilities in whereis display.
* import: Changed to honor annex.largefiles settings.
* addurl, importfeed: Changed to honor annex.largefiles settings,
when the content of the url is downloaded. (Not when using --fast or
--relaxed.)
* webapp: Fix bugs that could result in a relative path such as "."
being written to ~/.config/git-annex/autostart, and ignore any such
relative paths in the file.
This was a reversion caused by the relative path changes in 5.20150113.
* dropunused: Make more robust when trying to drop an object that has
already been dropped.
* Fix reversion in handling of long filenames, particularly when using
addurl/importfeed, which was introduced in the previous release.

git-annex (5.20151116) unstable; urgency=medium
* Use concurrent-output library when configured with -fConcurrentOutput.
This allows nicely displayed messages when using the -J flag.
* Additional commands now support the -J flag:
fsck, drop, add, addurl, import
* import: Avoid very ugly error messages when the directory files
are imported to is not a directort, but perhaps an annexed file.
* Concurrent progress bars are now displayed when using -J with a command
that moves file contents around.
* Fix race that could result in an annexed file's symlink not being
created, when eg, running concurrent git-annex adds.
* add: Fix error recovery rollback to not move the injested file content
out of the annex back to the file, because other files may point to
that same content. Instead, copy the injected file content out to
recover.
* quvi may output utf-8 encoded data when the conifigured locale doesn't
support that; avoid crashing on such invalid encoding.
* runshell: Avoid failing when $HOME/.ssh does not exist and cannot be
created.
* Make the git-annex-standalone.deb prevent runshell from installing
wrappers into $HOME/.ssh
* Make git-annex-standalone.deb include the git-annex html documentation,
desktop file, and base completion file, same as the regular git-annex.deb.
* fsck: When fscking a dead repo, avoid incorrect "fixing location log"
message, and display a warning about it being dead, since it's unusual
to have access to a dead repo.
* assistant: Pass ssh-options through 3 more git pull/push calls
that were missed before.
* Added annex.pidlock and annex.pidlocktimeout configuration to support
filesystems where POSIX fcntl locks cannot be used.
* init: Automatically enable annex.pidlock when necessary.

* Symlink timestamp preservation code uses functions
from unix-2.7.0 when available, which should be more portable.
* enableremote: List uuids and descriptions of remotes that can be
enabled, and accept either the uuid or the description in leu if the
name.
* Catch up with current git behavior when both repo and repo.git exist;
it seems it now prefers repo in this case, although historically it may
have preferred repo.git.

* When built with aws-0.13.0, the S3 special remote can be used to create
google nearline buckets, by setting storageclass=NEARLINE.

git-annex (5.20151019) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix a longstanding, but unlikely to occur bug, where dropping
a file from a remote could race with other drops of the same file,
and result in all copies of its content being lost.
* git-annex-shell: Added lockcontent command, to prevent dropping of
a key's content. This is necessary due to the above bugfix.
* In some cases, the above bugfix changes what git-annex allows you to
drop:
- When a file is present in several special remotes,
but not in any accessible git repositories, dropping it from one of
the special remotes will now fail. Instead, the file has to be
moved from one of the special remotes to the git repository, and can
then safely be dropped from the git repository.
- If a git remote has too old a version of git-annex-shell installed,
git-annex won't trust it to hold onto a copy of a file when dropping
that file from the local git repository.
* Changed drop ordering when using git annex sync --content or the
assistant, to drop from remotes first and from the local repo last.
This works better with the behavior changes to drop in many cases.
* Do verification of checksums of annex objects downloaded from remotes.
* When annex objects are received into git repositories from other git
repos, their checksums are verified then too.
* To get the old, faster, behavior of not verifying checksums, set
annex.verify=false, or remote.<name>.annex-verify=false.
* setkey, rekey: These commands also now verify that the provided file
matches the expected checksum of the key, unless annex.verify=false.
* reinject: Already verified content; this can now be disabled by
setting annex.verify=false.
* sync, merge, assistant: When git merge failed for a reason other
than a conflicted merge, such as a crippled filesystem not allowing
particular characters in filenames, git-annex would make a merge commit
that could omit such files or otherwise be bad. Fixed by aborting the
whole merge process when git merge fails for any reason other than a
merge conflict.
* Allow building with S3 disabled again.
* Ported disk free space checking code to work on Solaris.
* Windows webapp: Fix support for entering password when setting
up a ssh remote.
* copy --auto was checking the wrong repo's preferred content.
(--from was checking what --to should, and vice-versa.)
Fixed this bug, which was introduced in version 5.20150727.
* Avoid unnecessary write to the location log when a file is unlocked
and then added back with unchanged content.
* S3: Fix support for using https.
* Avoid displaying network transport warning when a ssh remote
does not yet have an annex.uuid set.
* Debian: Add torrent library to build-depends as it's packaged now,
and stop recommending bittornado | bittorrent.
* Debian: Remove build dependency on transformers library, as it is now
included in ghc.
* Debian: Remove menu file, since a desktop file is provided and
lintian says there can be only one.

* Added new linux standalone "ancient" build to support kernels
like 2.6.32.
* info: Don't allow use in a non-git-annex repository, since it

* assistant: When updating ~/.ssh/config, preserve any symlinks.
* webapp: Remove the "disable remote" feature from the UI.
* S3: When built with aws-0.13.0, supports using more storage classes.
In particular, storageclass=STANDARD_IA to use Amazon's
new Infrequently Accessed storage, and storageclass=NEARLINE
to use Google's NearLine storage.
* Improve ~/.ssh/config modification code to not add trailing spaces
to lines it cannot parse.
* Fix a crash at direct mode merge time when .git/index doesn't exist
yet. Triggered by eg, git-annex sync --no-commit in a fresh clone of
a repository.
* status: Show added but not yet committed files.
* Added stack.yaml to support easy builds from source with stack.

* info: Support querying info of individual files in direct mode.
* unused: Fix reversion in 5.20150727 that broke parsing of the
--unused-refspec option. Thanks, Øyvind A. Holm.
* Make full option parsing be done when not in a git repo, so --help
can be displayed for commands that require a git repo, etc.
* fsck: Work around bug in persistent that broke display of
problematically encoded filenames on stderr when using --incremental.
* When gpg.program is configured, it's used to get the command to run
for gpg. Useful on systems that have only a gpg2 command or want to
use it instead of the gpg command.
* Windows: Switched to using git for Windows, rather than msysgit.
Using msysgit with git-annex is no longer supported.
* Windows: Even when the user neglects to tell the git installer to
add git to PATH, git-annex will still work from within the git bash
shell, and the webapp can be used too.
* sync: Add --no-commit, --no-pull, --no-push options to turn off parts of
the sync process, as well as supporting --commit, --pull, --push, and
--no-content options to specify the (current) default behavior.
* annex.hardlink extended to also try to use hard links when copying from
the repository to a remote.
* Improve bash completion, so it completes names of remotes and backends
in appropriate places.
* Special remotes configured with autoenable=true will be automatically
enabled when git-annex init is run.
* Fix bug in combination of preferred and required content settings.
When one was set to the empty string and the other set to some expression,
this bug caused all files to be wanted, instead of only files matching
the expression.

* sync: Support --jobs
* sync --content: Avoid unnecessary second pull from remotes when
no file transfers are made.
* External special remotes can now be built that can be used in readonly
mode, where git-annex downloads content from the remote using regular
http.
* Added WHEREIS to external special remote protocol.
* importfeed --relaxed: Avoid hitting the urls of items in the feed.
* Fix reversion in init when ran as root, introduced in version 5.20150731.
* Reorder declaration to fix build with yesod-core > 1.4.13.
Thanks, Michael Alan Dorman.
* Fix building without quvi and without database.
Thanks, Ben Boeckel.
* Avoid building the assistant on the hurd, since an inotify equivalent
is not yet implemented in git-annex for the hurd.
* --debug log messages are now timestamped with fractional seconds.
* --debug is passed along to git-annex-shell when git-annex is in debug mode.
* Makefile: Pass LDFLAGS, CFLAGS, and CPPFLAGS through ghc and on to
ld, cc, and cpp.
* As a result of the Makefile changes, the Debian package is built
with various hardening options. Although their benefit to a largely
haskell program is unknown.

git-annex (5.20150812) unstable; urgency=medium
* Added support for SHA3 hashed keys (in 8 varieties), when git-annex is
built using the cryptonite library.
* metadata: Fix reversion introduced in 5.20150727 that caused recursive
display of metadata to not work.
* Windows: Fix bug that caused git-annex sync to fail due to missing
environment variable.
* Fix setting/setting/viewing metadata that contains unicode or other
special characters, when in a non-unicode locale.
* Simplify setup process for a ssh remote. Now it suffices to run git
remote add, followed by git-annex sync. Now the remote is automatically
initialized for use by git-annex, where before the git-annex branch had
to manually be pushed before using git-annex sync. Note that this
involved changes to git-annex-shell, so if the remote is using an old
version, the manual push is still needed.
* git-annex-shell: Don't let configlist auto-init repository when in
readonly mode.
* Perform a clean shutdown when --time-limit is reached.
This includes running queued git commands, and cleanup actions normally
run when a command is finished.
* fsck: Commit incremental fsck database when --time-limit is reached.
Previously, some of the last files fscked did not make it into the
database when using --time-limit.
* fsck: Commit incremental fsck database after every 1000 files
fscked, or every 5 minutes, whichever comes first. Previously,
commits were made every 1000 files fscked.
* Linux standalone: Work around problem that prevented it from working
properly if unpacked into a directory that contains ":" or ";" in its
name.
* proxy: Fix proxy git commit of non-annexed files in direct mode.
* proxy: If a non-proxied git command, such as git revert
would normally fail because of unstaged files in the work tree,
make the proxied command fail the same way.
* proxy: Fix removal of files deleted by the proxied command.
* proxy: Fix behavior when run in subdirectory of git repo.
* Improve Setup.hs file so that cabal copy --destdir works.
Thanks, Magnus Therning.
* Tighten dependency on optparse-applicative to 0.11.0.

copy command. (-J, file matching options, etc). These have been added
back.
* init: Detect when the filesystem is crippled such that it ignores
attempts to remove the write bit from a file, and enable direct mode.
Seen with eg, NTFS fuse on linux.

git-annex (5.20150727) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix bug that prevented uploads to remotes using new-style chunking
from resuming after the last successfully uploaded chunk.
* Switched option parsing to use optparse-applicative. This was a very large
and invasive change, and may have caused some minor behavior changes to
edge cases of option parsing. (For example, the metadata command no
longer accepts the combination of --get and --set, which never actually
worked.)
* Bash completion file is now included in the git-annex source tree,
and installed into Debian package (and any other packages built using make
install). This bash completion is generated by the option parser, so it
covers all commands, all options, and will never go out of date!
* As well as tab completing "git-annex" commands, "git annex" will also tab
complete. However, git's bash completion script needs a patch,
which I've submitted, for this to work prefectly.
* version --raw now works when run outside a git repository.
* assistant --startdelay now works when run outside a git repository.
* dead now accepts multiple --key options.
* addurl now accepts --prefix and --suffix options to adjust the
filenames used.
* sync --content: Fix bug that caused files to be uploaded to eg,
more archive remotes than wanted copies, only to later be dropped
to satisfy the preferred content settings.
* importfeed: Improve detection of known items whose url has changed,
and avoid adding redundant files. Where before this only looked at
permalinks in rss feeds, it now also looks at guids.
* importfeed: Look at not only permalinks, but now also guids
to identify previously downloaded files.
* Webapp: Now features easy setup of git-annex repositories on gitlab.com.
* Adjust debian build deps: The webapp can now build on arm64, s390x
and hurd-i386. WebDAV support is also available on those architectures.
* Debian package now maintained by Richard Hartmann.
* Support building without persistent database on for systems that
lack TH. This removes support for incremental fsck.

* add: Stage symlinks the same as git add would, even if they are not a
link to annexed content.
* sync: When annex.autocommit=false, avoid making any commit of local
changes, while still merging with remote to the extent possible.
* unused: --used-refspec can now be configured to look at refs in the
reflog. This provides a way to not consider old versions of files to be
unused after they have reached a specified age, when the old refs in
the reflog expire.
* log: Fix reversion introduced in version 5.20150528 that broke this command.
* assistant --autostart: First stop any daemons that are already running,
which might be left over from a previous login session and so unable to
use the ssh agent of a new login session.
* assistant: Fix local pairing to not include newline in ssh pubkey,
which is rejected on the other end for security reasons.
* assistant: Fix ANNEX_SHELL_DIR written to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
in local pairing to be the absolute path to the repository, not "."
This was a reversion caused by the relative path changes in 5.20150113.
* Brought back the setkey plumbing command that was removed in 2011, since
we found a use case for it. Note that the command's syntax was changed
for consistency.
* bugfix: Pass --full-tree when using git ls-files to get a list of files
on the git-annex branch, so it works when run in a subdirectory.
This bug affected git-annex unused, and potentially also transitions
running code and other things.
* Support git's undocumented core.sharedRepository=2 value, which
is equivalent to "world", and is set when a repo was created using
git init --shared=world.
* When building on linux, pass --as-needed to linker to avoid linking
with unused shared libraries including libyaml.
* import: Fix failure of cross-device import on Windows.
* merge: Avoid creating the synced/master branch.
* Removed support for optparse-applicative versions older than 0.10.

* Added new "anything" preferred content expression, which matches all
versions of all files.
* Standard preferred content for client, backup, incremental backup,
and unwanted groups have been adjusted to work better when used
with git annex sync --all --content.
* fromkey, registerurl: Improve handling of urls that happen to also
be parsable as strange keys.
* sync, remotedaemon: Pass configured ssh-options even when
annex.sshcaching is disabled.
* assistant: Consume systemd-networkd dbus events to learn about
changes to network connections, as was already done with
network-manager and wicd.
Thanks to Sebastian Reuße for the patches.
* get --incomplete: New option to resume any interrupted downloads.
* dead --key: Can be used to mark a key as dead.
* fsck: Ignore keys that are known to be dead when running in
--all/--unused/--key mode or a in a bare repo. Closes: #753888
Otherwise, still reports files with lost contents, even if the content
is dead.
* S3: Special remotes can be configured with public=yes to allow
the public to access the bucket's content.
* S3: Publically accessible buckets can be used without creds.
* import --clean-duplicates: Fix bug that didn't count local or trusted
repo's copy of a file as one of the necessary copies to allow removing
it from the import location.
* tahoe: Use ~/.tahoe-git-annex/ rather than ~/.tahoe/git-annex/
when setting up a tahoe special remote to avoid old versions of
tahoe create-client choking.
* Fix bug that prevented enumerating locally present objects in repos
tuned with annex.tune.objecthash1=true.
Fixes: unused, object count in info, unannex.
* Improve url parsing to handle some urls containing illegal []
characters in their paths.
* info: Added json output for "backend usage", "numcopies stats",
"repositories containing these files", and "transfers in progress".
* Fix incremental backup standard preferred content expression to match
its documentation, which says it does not want files that have reached
a backup repository.
* Increased the default annex.bloomaccuracy from 1000 to 10000000.
This makes git annex unused use up to 16 mb more memory than it did
before, but the massive increase in accuracy makes this worthwhile
for all but the smallest systems.

* get, move, copy, mirror: Concurrent transfers are now supported!
For example: git-annex get -J10
However, progress bars are not yet displayed for concurrent transfers,

* Fix an unlikely race that could result in two transfers of the same key
running at once.
* Stale transfer lock and info files will be cleaned up automatically
when get/unused/info commands are run.
* unused: Add --used-refspec option and annex.used-refspec, which can

* S3: Enable debug logging when annex.debug or --debug is set.
* S3: git annex info will show additional information about a S3 remote
(endpoint, port, storage class)
* S3: Let git annex enableremote be used, without trying to recreate
a bucket that should already exist.
* S3: Fix incompatibility with bucket names used by hS3; the aws library
cannot handle upper-case bucket names. git-annex now converts them to
lower case automatically.
* import: Check for gitignored files before moving them into the tree.
(Needs git 1.8.4 or newer.)
* import: Don't stop entire import when one file fails due to being
gitignored or conflicting with something in the work tree.
* import: Before removing a duplicate file in --deduplicate or
--clean-duplicates mode, verify that enough copies of its content still
exist.
* Improve integration with KDE's file manager to work with dolphin
version 14.12.3 while still being compatable with 4.14.2.
Thanks, silvio.
* assistant: Added --autostop to complement --autostart.
* Work around wget bug #784348 which could cause it to clobber git-annex
symlinks when downloading from ftp.
* Support checking ftp urls for file presence.
* Fix bogus failure of fsck --fast.
* fsck: Ignore error recording the fsck in the activity log,
which can happen when running fsck in a read-only repository.
Closes: #698559
(fsck can still need to write to the repository if it find problems,
but a successful fsck can be done read-only)
* Improve quvi 0.4 output parsing to handle cases wher there is no known
filename extension. This is currently the case when using quvi with
youtube. In this case, the extension ".m" will be used.
* Dropped support for older versions of yesod, warp, and dbus than the ones
in Debian Jessie.
* Switch from the obsolete dataenc library for base64 encoding to sandi.
(Thanks, Magnus Therning)
* Debian's ghc now supports TH on arm! Adjust build dependencies
to build the webapp on arm, and enable DAV support on arm. \o/
* Adjust some other arch specific build dependencies that are now
available on more architectures in Devian unstable.
* Windows: Remove cygwin ssh, the newer version of which has stopped
honoring the setting of HOME. Instead, copy msysgit's ssh into PATH.
Note that setting up a remote ssh server using password authentication
is known to be broken in this release on Windows.
* Windows: Roll back to an older version of rsync from cygwin.
The newer version has some dependency on a newer ssh from cygwin.

* Fix activity log parsing, which caused the log to not retain
activity from other uuids.
* Union merge could fall over if there was a file in the repository
with the same name as a git ref. Now fixed.
* info dir: Added information about repositories that
contain files in the specified directory.
* info: Added --bytes option.
* bittorrent: Fix handling of magnet links.
* When a key's size is unknown, still check the annex.diskreserve,
and avoid getting content if the disk is too full.
* Fix fsck --from a git remote in a local directory, and from
a directory special remote.
This was a reversion caused by the relative path changes in 5.20150113.
* fsck --from remote: When bad content is found in the remote,
and the local repo does not have a copy of the content, preserve
the bad content in .git/annex/bad/ to avoid further data loss.
* fsck --from remote: Avoid downloading a key if it would go over
the annex.diskreserve limit.
* required: New command, like wanted, but for required content.
* Removed dependency on haskell SHA library,
instead using cryptohash >= 0.11.0.
* Make repo init more robust.
* New debian/rules build-standalone target, which generates a
git-annex-standalone.deb that should work on many old Debian etc
systems. Thanks, Yaroslav Halchenko.
* Windows: Renamed start menu file to avoid loop in some versions
of Windows where the menu file is treated as a git-annex program.
* Windows: Fixed support of remotes on other drives.
(A reversion introduced in version 5.20150113.)
* Windows: Bundled versions of rsync, wget, ssh, and gpg from
cygwin all updated. Thanks, Yury V. Zaytsev.

* This fixes a bug in the assistant introduced by the literal pathspec
changes in version 5.20150406.
* --quiet now suppresses progress displays from eg, rsync.
(Second time's the charm..)
* fromkey, registerurl: When reading from stdin, allow the
filename and url, respectively, to contain whitespace.
* add: If annex.largefiles is set and does not match a file that's being
added, the file will be checked into git rather than being added to the
annex. Previously, git annex add skipped over such files; this new
behavior is more useful in direct mode.
* proxy: Made it work when run in a new repository before initial
commit.
* info: Display repository mode: bare when in a bare (non-direct mode)
repo.
* importfeed: Fix feed download when curl is used.
* importfeed: Error out when passed a non-url.
* webapp: When adding another local repository, and combining it
with the current repository, the new repository's remote path
was set to "." rather than the path to the current repository.
This was a reversion caused by the relative path changes in 5.20150113.
* contentlocationn: New plumbing command.

* Prevent git-ls-files from double-expanding wildcards when an
unexpanded wildcard is passed to a git-annex command like add or find.
* Fix make build target. Thanks, Justin Geibel.
* Fix GETURLS in external special remote protocol to strip
downloader prefix from logged url info before checking for the
specified prefix.
* importfeed: Avoid downloading a redundant item from a feed whose
permalink has been seen before, even when the url has changed.
* importfeed: Always store itemid in metadata; before this was only
done when annex.genmetadata was set.
* Relax debian package dependencies to git >= 1:1.8.1 rather
than needing >= 1:2.0.
* test: Fix --list-tests
* addurl --file: When used with a special remote that claims
urls and checks their contents, don't override the user's provided
filename with filenames that the special remote suggests. Also,
don't allow adding the url if the special remote says it contains
multiple files.
* import: --deduplicate and --cleanduplicates now output the keys
corresponding to duplicated files they process.
* expire: New command, for expiring inactive repositories.
* fsck: Record fsck activity for use by expire command.
* Fix truncation of parameters that could occur when using xargs git-annex.
* Significantly sped up processing of large numbers of directories
passed to a single git-annex command.
* version: Add --raw
* init: Improve fifo test to detect NFS systems that support fifos
but not well enough for sshcaching.
* --quiet now suppresses progress displays from eg, rsync.
(The option already suppressed git-annex's own built-in progress
displays.)

git-annex (5.20150327) unstable; urgency=medium
* readpresentkey: New plumbing command for checking location log.
* checkpresentkey: New plumbing command to check if a key can be verified
to be present on a remote.
* Added a post-update-annex hook, which is run after the git-annex branch
is updated. Needed for git update-server-info.
* migrate: --force will force migration of keys already using the
destination backend. Useful in rare cases.
* Man pages for individual commands now available, and can be
opened using "git annex help <command>"
* --auto is no longer a global option; only get, drop, and copy
accept it. (Not a behavior change unless you were passing it to a
command that ignored it.)
* Improve error message when --in @date is used and there is no
reflog for the git-annex branch.
* assistant: Committing a whole lot of files at once could overflow
command-line length limits and cause the commit to fail. This
only happened when using the assistant in an indirect mode repository.
* Work around curl bug when asked to download an empty url to a file.
* Fix bug introduced in the last release that broke git-annex sync
when git-annex was installed from the standalone tarball.

git-annex (5.20150317) unstable; urgency=medium
* fsck: Incremental fsck uses sqlite to store its records, instead
of abusing the sticky bit. Existing sticky bits are ignored;
incremental fscks started by old versions won't be resumed by
this version.
* fsck: Multiple incremental fscks of different repos (including remotes)
can now be running at the same time in the same repo without it
getting confused about which files have been checked for which remotes.
* unannex: Refuse to unannex when repo is too new to have a HEAD,
since in this case there must be staged changes in the index
(if there is anything to unannex), and the unannex code path
needs to run with a clean index.
* Linux standalone: Set LOCPATH=/dev/null to work around
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7695
This prevents localization from working, but git-annex
is not localized anyway.
* sync: As well as the synced/git-annex push, attempt a
git-annex:git-annex push, as long as the remote branch
is an ancestor of the local branch, to better support bare git repos.
(This used to be done, but it forgot to do it since version 4.20130909.)
* When re-execing git-annex, use current program location, rather than
~/.config/git-annex/program, when possible.
* Submodules are now supported by git-annex!
* metadata: Fix encoding problem that led to mojibake when storing
metadata strings that contained both unicode characters and a space
(or '!') character.
* Also potentially fixes encoding problem when embedding credentials
that contain unicode characters.
* sync: Fix committing when in a direct mode repo that has no HEAD ref.
(For example, a newly checked out git submodule.)
* Added SETURIPRESENT and SETURIMISSING to external special remote protocol,
useful for things like ipfs that don't use regular urls.
* addurl: Added --raw option, which bypasses special handling of quvi,
bittorrent etc urls.
* git-annex-shell: Improve error message when the specified repository
doesn't exist or git config fails for some reason.
* fromkey --force: Skip test that the key has its content in the annex.
* fromkey: Add stdin mode.
* registerurl: New plumbing command for mass-adding urls to keys.
* remotedaemon: Fixed support for notifications of changes to gcrypt
remotes, which was never tested and didn't quite work before.

* glacier: Detect when the glacier command in PATH is the wrong one,
from boto, rather than from glacier-cli, and refuse to use it,
since the boto program fails to fail when passed
parameters it does not understand.
* groupwanted: New command to set the groupwanted preferred content
expression.
* import: Support file matching options such as --exclude, --include,
--smallerthan, --largerthan
* The file matching options are now only accepted by commands that
can actually use them, instead of by all commands.
* import: Avoid checksumming file twice when run in the default
or --duplicate mode.
* Windows: Fix bug in dropping an annexed file, which
caused a symlink to be staged that contained backslashes.
* webapp: Fix reversion in opening webapp when starting it manually
inside a repository.
* assistant: Improve sanity check for control characters when pairing.
* Improve race recovery code when committing to git-annex branch.
* addurl: Avoid crash if quvi is not installed, when git-annex was
built with process-1.2
* bittorrent: Fix mojibake introduced in parsing arai2c progress output.
* fsck --from: If a download from a remote fails, propagate the failure.
* metadata: When setting metadata, do not recurse into directories by
default, since that can be surprising behavior and difficult to recover
from. The old behavior is available by using --force.
* sync, assistant: Include repository name in head branch commit message.
* The ssh-options git config is now used by gcrypt, rsync, and ddar
special remotes that use ssh as a transport.
* sync, assistant: Use the ssh-options git config when doing git pull
and push.
* remotedaemon: Use the ssh-options git config.
* Linux standalone: Improved process names of linker shimmed programs.

git-annex (5.20150205) unstable; urgency=medium
* info: Can now display info about a given uuid.
* Added to remote/uuid info: Count of the number of keys present
on the remote, and their size. This is rather expensive to calculate,
so comes last and --fast will disable it.
* info remote: Include the date of the last sync with the remote.
* sync: Added --message/-m option like git commit.
* remotedaemon: Fix problem that could prevent ssh connections being
made after two LOSTNET messages were received in a row (perhaps due to
two different network interfaces being brought down).
* Fix build failure when wget is not installed.
* Fix wording of message displayed when unable to get a file that
is available in untrusted repositories.
* addurl: When a Content-Disposition header suggests a filename to use,
addurl will consider using it, if it's reasonable and doesn't conflict
with an existing file. (--file overrides this)
* Fix default repository description created by git annex init,
which got broken by the relative path changes in the last release.
* init: Repository tuning parameters can now be passed when initializing a
repository for the first time. For details, see
http://git-annex.branchable.com/tuning/
* merge: Refuse to merge changes from a git-annex branch of a repo
that has been tuned in incompatible ways.
* Support annex.tune.objecthash1, annex.tune.objecthashlower, and
annex.tune.branchhash1.
* Remove support for building without cryptohash.
* Added MD5 and MD5E backends.
* assistant: Fix local pairing when ssh pubkey comment contains spaces.
* Avoid using fileSize which maxes out at just 2 gb on Windows.
Instead, use hFileSize, which doesn't have a bounded size.
Fixes support for files > 2 gb on Windows.
* Windows: Fix running of the pre-commit-annex hook.
* Windows: Fix S3 special remote; need to call withSocketsDo. Thanks, Trent.

* unlock: Don't allow unlocking files that have never been committed to git
before, to avoid an intractable problem that prevents the pre-commit
hook from telling if such a file is intended to be an annexed file or not.
* Avoid re-checksumming when migrating from hash to hashE backend.
Closes: #774494
* Fix build with process 1.2.1.0.
* Android: Provide a version built with -fPIE -pie to support Android 5.0.
* sync: Fix an edge case where syncing in a bare repository would try to
merge and so fail.
* Check git version at runtime, rather than assuming it will be the same
as the git version used at build time when running git-checkattr and
git-branch remove.
* Switch to using relative paths to the git repository.
- This allows the git repository to be moved while git-annex is running in
it, with fewer problems.
- On Windows, this avoids some of the problems with the absurdly small
MAX_PATH of 260 bytes. In particular, git-annex repositories should
work in deeper/longer directory structures than before.
* Generate shorter keys for WORM and URL, avoiding keys that are longer
than used for SHA256, so as to not break on systems like Windows that
have very small maximum path length limits.
* Bugfix: A file named HEAD in the work tree could confuse some git commands
run by git-annex.

* sync: Now supports remote groups, the same way git remote update does.
* setpresentkey: A new plumbing-level command.
* Run shutdown cleanup actions even if there were failures processing
the command. Among other fixes, this means that addurl will stage
added files even if adding one of the urls fails.
* bittorrent: Fix locking problem when using addurl file://
* Windows: Fix local rsync filepath munging (fixes 26 test suite failures).
* Windows: Got the rsync special remote working.

Thanks, Jon Ander Peñalba.
* External special remote protocol now includes commands for setting

* Urls can now be claimed by remotes. This will allow creating,
for example, a external special remote that handles magnet: and
*.torrent urls.
* Use wget -q --show-progress for less verbose wget output,
when built with wget 1.16.
* Added bittorrent special remote.
* addurl behavior change: When downloading an url ending in .torrent,
it will download files from bittorrent, instead of the old behavior
of adding the torrent file to the repository.
* Added Recommends on aria2.
* When possible, build with the haskell torrent library for parsing
torrent files. As a fallback, can instead use btshowmetainfo from
bittornado | bittorrent.
* Fix build with -f-S3.

* Add undo action to nautilus and konqueror integration.
* diffdriver: New git-annex command, to make git external diff drivers
work with annexed files.
* pre-commit: Block partial commit of unlocked annexed file, since
that left a typechange staged in index due to some infelicity of git's
handling of partial commits.
* Work around behavior change in lsof 4.88's -F output format.
* S3: Switched to using the haskell aws library.
* S3: No longer buffers entire files in memory when uploading without
chunking.
* S3: When built with a new enough version of the haskell aws library,
supports doing multipart uploads, in order to store extremely large
files in S3 when not using chunking.
* Don't show "(gpg)" when decrypting the remote encryption cipher,
since this could be taken to read that's the only time git-annex
runs gpg, which is not the case.
* Debian package is now maintained by Gergely Nagy.
* Windows: Remove Alt+A keyboard shortcut, which turns out to have scope
outside the menus.
* Windows: Install ssh and other bundled programs to Git/cmd,

* initremote: Don't allow creating a special remote that has the same

making git-annex not re-exec itself on start on windows, and making the
test suite on Windows run tests without forking.
* glacier: Fix pipe setup when calling glacier-cli to retrieve an object.
* info: When run on a single annexed file, displays some info about the

* Promote file not found warning message to an error.
* Fix transfer lock file FD leak that could occur when two separate

* WebDAV: Dropped support for DAV before 1.0.
* testremote: New command to test uploads/downloads to a remote.
* Dropping an object from a bup special remote now deletes the git branch

due to the nature of bup.
* unlock: Better error handling; continue past files that are not available
or cannot be unlocked due to disk space, and try all specified files.
* Windows: Now uses actual inode equivilants in new direct mode
repositories, for safer detection of eg, renaming of files with the same
size and mtime.
* direct: Fix ugly warning messages.
* WORM backend: When adding a file in a subdirectory, avoid including the

* direct: Avoid leaving file content in misctemp if interrupted.
* git-annex-shell sendkey: Don't fail if a remote asks for a key to be sent

* 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 unnecessary 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.

Linux's caching of higher res timestamps while a FAT is mounted, caused
direct mode repositories on FAT to seem to have modified files after
they were unmounted and remounted.

* Fix encoding of data written to git-annex branch. Avoid truncating
unicode characters to 8 bits. Allow any encoding to be used, as with
filenames (but utf8 is the sane choice). Affects metadata and repository
descriptions, and preferred content expressions.
* assistant: When there are multiple remotes giving different ways
to access the same repository, honor remote cost settings and use
the cheapest available.
* webapp: More robust startup when annex directory is not a git repo.
* initremote/enableremote: Basic support for using with regular git remotes;
initremote stores the location of an already existing git remote,
and enableremote setups up a remote using its stored location.
* webapp: Support for enabling known git repositories on ssh servers.
The repository must have been added using initremote.
* webapp: When setting up a ssh remote, record it using initremote,
so that it can be easily enabled elsewhere.
* webapp: When setting up a ssh remote, if the user inputs ~/foo,
normalize that to foo, since it's in the home directory by default.
* Use exceptions in place of deprecated MonadCatchIO-transformers

Useful if a repository got deleted and you want
to clone it back the way it was.
* drop --from: When local repository is untrusted, its copy of a file does
not count.
* Bring back rsync -p, but only when git-annex is running on a non-crippled
file system. This is a better approach to fix #700282 while not
unncessarily losing file permissions on non-crippled systems.
* webapp: Start even if the current directory is listed in
~/.config/git-annex/autostart but no longer has a git repository in it.
* findref: New command, like find but shows files in a specified git ref.

* forget --drop-dead: Avoid removing the dead remote from the trust.log,
so that if git remotes for it still exist anywhere, git annex info
will still know it's dead and not show it.
* git-annex-shell: Make configlist automatically initialize
a remote git repository, as long as a git-annex branch has
been pushed to it, to simplify setup of remote git repositories,
including via gitolite.
* add --include-dotfiles: New option, perhaps useful for backups.
* Version 5.20140227 broke creation of glacier repositories,
not including the datacenter and vault in their configuration.
This bug is fixed, but glacier repositories set up with the broken
version of git-annex need to have the datacenter and vault set
in order to be usable. This can be done using git annex enableremote
to add the missing settings. For details, see
http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/problems_with_glacier/

* assistant: Fix OSX-specific bug that caused the startup scan to try to
follow symlinks to other directories, and add their contents to the annex.
* assistant: Set StrictHostKeyChecking yes when creating ssh remotes,
and add it to the configuration for any ssh remotes previously created
by the assistant. This avoids repeated prompts by ssh if the host key
changes, instead syncing with such a remote will fail. Closes: #732602
* Fix test suite to cover lock --force change.
* Add plumbing-level lookupkey and examinekey commands.
* find --format: Added hashdirlower, hashdirmixed, keyname, and mtime
format variables.
* assistant: Always batch changes found in startup scan.
* An armel Linux standalone build is now available, which includes the
webapp.
* Programs from Linux and OSX standalone builds can now be symlinked
into a directory in PATH as an alternative installation method, and will
use readlink to find where the build was unpacked.
* Include man pages in Linux and OSX standalone builds.
* Linux standalone build now includes its own glibc and forces the linker to
use it, to remove dependence on the host glibc.

those commands are available.
* assistant: Run transferkeys as batch jobs.
* Automatically fix up bad bare repositories created by

* rsync special remote: Fix fallback mode for rsync remotes that
use hashDirMixed. Closes: #731142
* copy --from, get --from: When --force is used, ignore the
location log and always try to get the file from the remote.
* Deal with box.com changing the url of their webdav endpoint.
* Android: Fix SRV record lookups for XMPP to use android getprop
command to find DNS server, since there is no resolv.conf.
* import: Add --skip-duplicates option.
* lock: Require --force. Closes: #731606
* import: better handling of overwriting an existing file/directory/broken

* Windows: assistant and webapp work! (very experimental)
* Windows: Support annex.diskreserve.
* Fix bad behavior in Firefox, which was caused by an earlier fix to
bad behavior in Chromium.
* repair: Improve repair of git-annex index file.
* repair: Remove damaged git-annex sync branches.
* status: Ignore new files that are gitignored.
* Fix direct mode's handling when modifications to non-annexed files
are pulled from a remote. A bug prevented the files from being updated
in the work tree, and this caused the modification to be reverted.
* OSX: Remove ssh and ssh-keygen from dmg as they're included in OSX by

* webapp: Detect when upgrades are available, and upgrade if the user
desires.
(Only when git-annex is installed using the prebuilt binaries
from git-annex upstream, not from eg Debian.)
* assistant: Detect when the git-annex binary is modified or replaced,
and either prompt the user to restart the program, or automatically
restart it.
* annex.autoupgrade configures both the above upgrade behaviors.
* Added support for quvi 0.9. Slightly suboptimal due to limitations in its
interface compared with the old version.
* Bug fix: annex.version did not get set on automatic upgrade to v5 direct
mode repo, so the upgrade was performed repeatedly, slowing commands down.
* webapp: Fix bug that broke switching between local repositories
that use the new guarded direct mode.
* Android: Fix stripping of the git-annex binary.
* Android: Make terminal app show git-annex version number.
* Android: Re-enable XMPP support.
* reinject: Allow to be used in direct mode.

accidentally running git commands that try to operate on the work tree,
and so do the wrong thing in direct mode.
* annex.version is now set to 5 for direct mode repositories.
This upgrade is handled fully automatically, no need to run
git annex upgrade
* The "status" command has been renamed to "info", to allow
"git annex status" to be used in direct mode repositories, now that
"git status" won't work in them.
* The -c option now not only modifies the git configuration seen by
git-annex, but it is passed along to every git command git-annex runs.
* watcher: Avoid loop when adding a file owned by someone else fails
in indirect mode because its permissions cannot be modified.
* webapp: Avoid encoding problems when displaying the daemon log file.
* webapp: Improve UI around remote that have no annex.uuid set,
either because setup of them is incomplete, or because the remote
git repository is not a git-annex repository.
* Include ssh-keygen in standalone bundle.
* Allow optionally configuring git-annex with -fEKG to enable awesome
remote monitoring interfaceat http://localhost:4242/
* Fix bug that caused bad information to be written to the git-annex branch
when running describe or other commands with a remote that has no uuid.
* Work around Android linker problem that had prevented git-annex from
running on Android 4.3 and 4.4.
* repair: Handle case where index file is corrupt, but all objects are ok.
* assistant: Notice on startup when the index file is corrupt, and
auto-repair.
* Fix direct mode merge bug when a direct mode file was deleted and replaced
with a directory. An ordering problem caused the directory to not get
created in this case.
Thanks to Tim for the test case.
* Direct mode .git/annex/objects directories are no longer left writable,
because that allowed writing to symlinks of files that are not present,
which followed the link and put bad content in an object location.
Thanks to Tim for the test case.
* fsck: Fix up .git/annex/object directory permissions.

* webapp: When setting up a bare shared repository, enable non-fast-forward
pushes.
* sync: Show a hint about receive.denyNonFastForwards when a push fails.
* directory, webdav: Fix bug introduced in version 4.20131002 that
caused the chunkcount file to not be written. Work around repositories
without such a file, so files can still be retreived from them.
* assistant: Automatically repair damanged git repository, if it can
be done without losing data.
* assistant: Support repairing git remotes that are locally accessible
(eg, on removable drives).
* add: Fix reversion in 4.20130827 when adding unlocked files that have
not yet been committed.
* unannex: New, much slower, but more safe behavior: Copies files out of
the annex. This avoids an unannex of one file breaking other files that
link to the same content. Also, it means that the content
remains in the annex using up space until cleaned up with
"git annex unused".
(The behavior of unannex --fast has not changed; it still hard links
to content in the annex. --fast was not made the default because it is
potentially unsafe; editing such a hard linked file can unexpectedly
change content stored in the annex.)

* The assitant can now run scheduled incremental fsck jobs on the local
repository and remotes. These can be configured using vicfg or with the

* repair: New command, which can repair damaged git repositories
(even ones not using git-annex).
* webapp: When git repository damange is detected, repairs can be
done using the webapp UI.
* Automatically and safely detect and recover from dangling
.git/annex/index.lock files, which would prevent git from
committing to the git-annex branch, eg after a crash.
* assistant: Detect stale git lock files at startup time, and remove them.
* addurl: Better sanitization of generated filenames.
* Better sanitization of problem characters when generating URL and WORM
keys.
* The control socket path passed to ssh needs to be 17 characters
shorter than the maximum unix domain socket length, because ssh
appends stuff to it to make a temporary filename. Closes: #725512

* Windows: Deal with strange msysgit 1.8.4 behavior of not understanding
DOS formatted paths for --git-dir and --work-tree.

any ssh server, as well as on rsync.net.
* git-annex-shell: Added support for operating inside gcrypt repositories.
* Disable receive.denyNonFastForwards when setting up a gcrypt special
remote, since gcrypt needs to be able to fast-forward the master branch.
* import: Preserve top-level directory structure.
* Use cryptohash rather than SHA for hashing when no external hash program
is available. This is a significant speedup for SHA256 on OSX, for
example.
* Added SKEIN256 and SKEIN512 backends.
* Android build redone from scratch, many dependencies updated,
and entire build can now be done using provided scripts.
* assistant: Clear the list of failed transfers when doing a full transfer
scan. This prevents repeated retries to download files that are not
available, or are not referenced by the current git tree.
* indirect, direct: Better behavior when a file is not owned by
the user running the conversion.
* add, import, assistant: Better preserve the mtime of symlinks,
when when adding content that gets deduplicated.
* Send a git-annex user-agent when downloading urls.
Overridable with --user-agent option.
(Not yet done for S3 or WebDAV due to limitations of libraries used.)
* webapp: Fixed a bug where when a new remote is added, one file
may fail to sync to or from it due to the transferrer process not
yet knowing about the new remote.

* forget: New command, causes git-annex branch history to be forgotten
in a way that will spread to other clones of the repository.
(As long as they're running this version or newer of git-annex.)
* forget --drop-dead: Completely removes mentions of repositories that
have been marked as dead from the git-annex branch.
* sync, assistant: Force push of the git-annex branch. Necessary
to ensure it gets pushed to remotes after being rewritten by forget.
* Added gcrypt support. This combines a fully encrypted git
repository (using git-remote-gcrypt) with an encrypted git-annex special
remote.
* sync: Support syncing with gcrypt remotes.
* importfeed: Also ignore transient problems with downloading content
from feeds.
* Honor core.sharedrepository when receiving and adding files in direct
mode.
* enableremote: gpg keys can be removed from those a remote encrypts
to by passing "keyid-=$KEYID". keyid+= is also provided.
(Thanks, guilhem for the patch.)
* Added encryption=pubkey scheme, which encrypts to public keys directly
rather than the hybrid approach. See documentation for advantages
and disadvantages, but encryption=hybrid is the recommended scheme still.
(Thanks, guilhem for the patch.)
* Fix Feeds display in build flags.
* Remind user when annex-ignore is set for some remotes, if unable to
get or drop a file, possibly because it's on an ignored remote.
* gpg: Force --no-textmode in case the user has it turned on in config.
* webapp: Improve javascript's handling of longpolling connection
failures, by reloading the current page in this case.
Works around chromium behavior where ajax connections to urls

* dropunused behavior change: Now refuses to drop the last copy of a

This was the last place in git-annex that could remove data referred
to by the git history, without being forced.
Like drop, dropunused checks remotes, and honors the global
annex.numcopies setting. (However, .gitattributes settings cannot
apply to unused files.)
* Fix inverted logic in last release's fix for data loss bug,
that caused git-annex sync on FAT or other crippled filesystems to add
symlink standin files to the annex.
* importfeed can be used to import files from podcast feeds.
* webapp: When setting up a dedicated ssh key to access the annex
on a host, set IdentitiesOnly to prevent the ssh-agent from forcing
use of a different ssh key. That could result in unnecessary password
prompts, or prevent git-annex-shell from being run on the remote host.
* webapp: Improve handling of remotes whose setup has stalled.
* Add status message to XMPP presence tag, to identify to others that
the client is a git-annex client. Closes: #717652
* webapp: When creating a repository on a removable drive, set
core.fsyncobjectfiles, to help prevent data loss when the drive is yanked.

* When a transfer is already being run by another process,
proceed on to the next file, rather than dying.
* Fix checking when content is present in a non-bare repository
accessed via http.
* Display byte sizes with more precision.

* get, move, copy: Can now be run in a bare repository,
like fsck already could. --all is enabled automatically in this case.
* merge: Now also merges synced/master or similar branches, which
makes it useful to put in a post-receive hook to make a repository
automatically update its working copy when git annex sync or the assistant
sync with it.
* webapp: Fix ssh setup with nonstandard port, broken in last release.
* init: Detect systems on which git commit fails due to not being able to
determine the FQDN, and put in a workaround so committing to the git-annex
branch works.
* addurl --pathdepth: Fix failure when the pathdepth specified is deeper
than the urls's path.
* Windows: Look for .exe extension when searching for a command in path.
* Pass -f to curl when downloading a file with it, so it propigates failure.
* Windows: Fix url to object when using a http remote.
* webapp: Fix authorized_keys line added when setting up a rsync remote
on a server that also supports git-annex, to not force running
git-annex-shell.
* OSX Mountain Lion: Fixed gpg bundled in dmg to not fail due to a missing
gpg-agent.

* sync: Better support for bare git remotes. Now pushes directly to the
master branch on such a remote, instead of to synced/master. This
makes it easier to clone from a bare git remote that has been populated
with git annex sync or by the assistant.
* Android: Fix use of cp command to not try to use features present
only on build system.
* Windows: Fix hang when adding several files at once.
* assistant: In direct mode, objects are now only dropped when all
associated files are unwanted. This avoids a repreated drop/get loop
of a file that has a copy in an archive directory, and a copy not in an
archive directory. (Indirect mode still has some buggy behavior in this
area, since it does not keep track of associated files.)
Closes: #712060
* status: No longer shows dead repositories.
* annex.debug can now be set to enable debug logging by default.
The webapp's debugging check box does this.
* fsck: Avoid getting confused by Windows path separators
* Windows: Multiple bug fixes, including fixing the data written to the
git-annex branch.
* Windows: The test suite now passes on Windows (a few broken parts are
disabled).
* assistant: On Linux, the expensive transfer scan is run niced.
* Enable assistant and WebDAV support on powerpc and sparc architectures,
which now have the necessary dependencies built.

git-annex (4.20130601) unstable; urgency=medium
* XMPP: Git push over xmpp made much more robust.
* XMPP: Avoid redundant and unnecessary pushes. Note that this breaks
compatibility with previous versions of git-annex, which will refuse
to accept any XMPP pushes from this version.
* XMPP: Send pings and use them to detect when contact with the server
is lost.
* hook special remote: Added combined hook program support.
* Android app: Avoid using hard links to app's lib directory, which
is sometimes on a different filesystem than the data directory.
* Fix bug in parsing of parens in some preferred content expressions.
This fixes the behavior of the manual mode group.
* assistant: Work around git-cat-file's not reloading the index after files
are staged.
* Improve error handling when getting uuid of http remotes to auto-ignore,
like with ssh remotes.
* content: New command line way to view and configure a repository's
preferred content settings.
* sync: Fix double merge conflict resolution handling.
* XMPP: Fix a file descriptor leak.
* Android: Added an "Open WebApp" item to the terminal's menu.

Closes: #708619
* Switch to MonadCatchIO-transformers for better handling of state while
catching exceptions.
* Fix a zombie that could result when running a process like gpg to
read and write to it.
* Allow building with gpg2.
* Disable building with the haskell threaded runtime when the webapp
is not built. This may fix builds on mips, s390x and sparc, which are
failing to link -lHSrts_thr
* Temporarily build without webapp on kfreebsd-i386, until yesod is
installable there again.
* Direct mode bug fix: After a conflicted merge was automatically resolved,
the content of a file that was already present could incorrectly
be replaced with a symlink.
* Fix a bug in the git-annex branch handling code that could
cause info from a remote to not be merged and take effect immediately.
* Direct mode is now fully tested by the test suite.
* Detect bad content in ~/.config/git-annex/program and look in PATH instead.
* OSX: Fixed gpg included in dmg.

* Android: The webapp is ported and working.
* Windows: There is a very rough Windows port. Do not trust it with
important data.
* git-annex-shell: Ensure that received files can be read. Files
transferred from some Android devices may have very broken permissions
as received.
* direct mode: Direct mode commands now work on files staged in the index,
they do not need to be committed to git.
* Temporarily add an upper bound to the version of yesod that can be built
with, since yesod 1.2 has a great many changes that will require extensive
work on the webapp.
* Disable building with the haskell threaded runtime when the assistant
is not built. This may fix builds on s390x and sparc, which are failing
to link -lHSrts_thr
* Avoid depending on regex-tdfa on mips, mipsel, and s390, where it fails
to build.
* direct: Fix a bug that could cause some files to be left in indirect mode.
* When initializing a directory special remote with a relative path,
the path is made absolute.
* SHA: Add a runtime sanity check that sha commands output something
that appears to be a real sha.
* configure: Better checking that sha commands output in the desired format.
* rsync special remotes: When sending from a crippled filesystem, use
the destination's default file permissions, as the local ones can
be arbitrarily broken. (Ie, ----rwxr-x for files on Android)
* migrate: Detect if a file gets corrupted while it's being migrated.
* Debian: Add a menu file.

git-annex (4.20130501) unstable; urgency=low
* sync, assistant: Behavior changes: Sync with remotes that have
annex-ignore set, so that git remotes on servers without git-annex
installed can be used to keep clients' git repos in sync.
* assistant: Work around misfeature in git 1.8.2 that makes
`git commit --alow-empty -m ""` run an editor.
* sync: Bug fix, avoid adding to the annex the
dummy symlinks used on crippled filesystems.
* Add public repository group.
(And inpreferreddir to preferred content expressions.)
* webapp: Can now set up Internet Archive repositories.
* S3: Dropping content from the Internet Archive doesn't work, but
their API indicates it does. Always refuse to drop from there.
* Automatically register public urls for files uploaded to the
Internet Archive.
* To enable an existing special remote, the new enableremote command
must be used. The initremote command now is used only to create
new special remotes.
* initremote: If two existing remotes have the same name,
prefer the one with a higher trust level.
* assistant: Improved XMPP protocol to better support multiple repositories
using the same XMPP account. Fixes bad behavior when sharing with a friend
when you or the friend have multiple reposotories on an XMPP account.
Note that XMPP pairing with your own devices still pairs with all
repositories using your XMPP account.
* assistant: Fix bug that could cause incoming pushes to not get
merged into the local tree. Particularly affected XMPP pushes.
* webapp: Display some additional information about a repository on
its edit page.
* webapp: Install FDO desktop menu file when started in standalone mode.
* webapp: Don't default to making repository in cwd when started
from within a directory containing a git-annex file (eg, standalone
tarball directory).
* Detect systems that have no user name set in GECOS, and also
don't have user.name set in git config, and put in a workaround
so that commits to the git-annex branch (and the assistant)
will still succeed despite git not liking the system configuration.
* webapp: When told to add a git repository on a remote server, and
the repository already exists as a non-bare repository, use it,
rather than initializing a bare repository in the same directory.
* direct, indirect: Refuse to do anything when the assistant
or git-annex watch daemon is running.
* assistant: When built with git before 1.8.0, use `git remote rm`
to delete a remote. Newer git uses `git remote remove`.
* rmurl: New command, removes one of the recorded urls for a file.
* Detect when the remote is broken like bitbucket is, and exits 0 when
it fails to run git-annex-shell.
* assistant: Several improvements to performance and behavior when
performing bulk adds of a large number of files (tens to hundreds
of thousands).
* assistant: Sanitize XMPP presence information logged for debugging.
* webapp: Now automatically fills in any creds used by an existing remote
when creating a new remote of the same type. Done for Internet Archive,
S3, Glacier, and Box.com remotes.
* Store an annex-uuid file in the bucket when setting up a new S3 remote.
* Support building with DAV 0.4.

* initremote: Generates encryption keys with high quality entropy.
This can be disabled using --fast to get the old behavior.
The assistant still uses low-quality entropy when creating encrypted
remotes, to avoid delays. (Thanks, guilhem for the patch.)
* Bugfix: Direct mode no longer repeatedly checksums duplicated files.
* assistant: Work around horrible, terrible, very bad behavior of
gnome-keyring, by not storing special-purpose ssh keys in ~/.ssh/*.pub.
Apparently gnome-keyring apparently will load and indiscriminately use
such keys in some cases, even if they are not using any of the standard
ssh key names. Instead store the keys in ~/.ssh/annex/,
which gnome-keyring will not check.
* addurl: Bugfix: Did not properly add file in direct mode.
* assistant: Bug fix to avoid annexing the files that git uses
to stand in for symlinks on FAT and other filesystem not supporting
symlinks.
* Adjust preferred content expressions so that content in archive
directories is preferred until it has reached an archive or smallarchive
repository.
* webapp: New --listen= option allows running the webapp on one computer
and connecting to it from another. (Note: Does not yet use HTTPS.)
* Added annex.web-download-command setting.
* Added per-remote annex-rsync-transport option. (guilhem again)
* Ssh connection caching is now also used by rsync special remotes.
(guilhem yet again)
* The version number is now derived from git, unless built with
VERSION_FROM_CHANGELOG.
* assistant: Stop any transfers the assistant initiated on shutdown.
* assistant: Added sequence numbers to XMPP git push packets. (Not yet used.)
* addurl: Register transfer so the webapp can see it.
* addurl: Automatically retry downloads that fail, as long as some
additional content was downloaded.
* webapp: Much improved progress bar display for downloads from encrypted
remotes.
* Avoid using runghc, as that needs ghci.
* webapp: When a repository's group is changed, rescan for transfers.
* webapp: Added animations.
* webapp: Include the repository directory in the mangled hostname and
ssh key name, so that a locked down ssh key for one repository is not
re-used when setting up additional repositories on the same server.
* Fall back to internal url downloader when built without curl.
* fsck: Check content of direct mode files (only when the inode cache
thinks they are unmodified).

messages to clients.
* map: Combine duplicate repositories, for a nicer looking map.
* Fix several bugs caused by a bad Ord instance for Remote.

git-annex (4.20130314) unstable; urgency=low
* Bugfix: git annex add, when ran without any file or directory specified,
should add files in the current directory, but not act on unlocked files
elsewhere in the tree.
* Bugfix: drop --from an unavailable remote no longer updates the location
log, incorrectly, to say the remote does not have the key.
* Bugfix: If the UUID of a remote is not known, prevent --from, --to,
and other ways of specifying remotes by name from selecting it,
since it is not possible to sanely use it.
* Bugfix: Fix bug in inode cache sentinal check, which broke
copying to local repos if the repo being copied from had moved
to a different filesystem or otherwise changed all its inodes
* Switch from using regex-compat to regex-tdfa, as the C regex library
is rather buggy.
* status: Can now be run with a directory path to show only the
status of that directory, rather than the whole annex.
* Added remote.<name>.annex-gnupg-options setting.
Thanks, guilhem for the patch.
* addurl: Add --relaxed option.
* addurl: Escape invalid characters in urls, rather than failing to
use an invalid url.
* addurl: Properly handle url-escaped characters in file:// urls.
* assistant: Fix dropping content when a file is moved to an archive
directory, and getting contennt when a file is moved back out.
* assistant: Fix bug in direct mode that could occur when a symlink is
moved out of an archive directory, and resulted in the file not being
set to direct mode when it was transferred.
* assistant: Generate better commits for renames.
* assistant: Logs are rotated to avoid them using too much disk space.
* assistant: Avoid noise in logs from git commit about typechanged
files in direct mode repositories.

direct mode. In direct mode, files are accessed directly, rather than
via symlinks. Note that direct mode is currently experimental. Many
git-annex commands do not work in direct mode. Some git commands can
cause data loss when used in direct mode repositories.
* assistant: Now uses direct mode by default when setting up a new
local repository.
* OSX assistant: Uses the FSEvents API to detect file changes.
This avoids issues with running out of file descriptors on large trees,

* webapp: Supports pairing over XMPP, with both friends, and other repos
using the same account.
* assistant: Drops non-preferred content when possible.
* assistant: Notices, and applies config changes as they are made to
the git-annex branch, including config changes pushed in from remotes.

* webapp: Allow dashes in ssh key comments when pairing.
* uninit: Check and abort if there are symlinks to annexed content that
are not checked into git.
* webapp: Switched to using the same multicast IP address that avahi uses.
* bup: Don't pass - to bup-split to make it read stdin; bup 0.25

Closes: #691341
* configure: Check that checksum programs produce correct checksums.
* Re-enable dbus, using a new version of the library that fixes the memory
leak.

git-annex (3.20121016) unstable; urgency=low
* vicfg: New file format, avoids ambiguity with repos that have the same
description, or no description.
* Bug fix: A recent change caused git-annex-shell to crash.
* Better preferred content expression for transfer repos.
* webapp: Repository edit form can now edit the name of a repository.
* webapp: Make bare repositories on removable drives, as there is nothing
to ensure non-bare repos get updated when syncing.
* webapp: Better behavior when pausing syncing to a remote when a transfer
scan is running and queueing new transfers for that remote.
* The standalone binaries are now built to not use ssh connection caching,
in order to work with old versions of ssh.
* A relative core.worktree is relative to the gitdir. Now that this is
handled correctly, git-annex can be used in git submodules.
* Temporarily disable use of dbus, as the haskell dbus library blows up
when losing connection, which will need to be fixed upstream.

* watch, assistant: It's now safe to git annex unlock files while
the watcher is running, as well as modify files checked into git
as normal files. Additionally, .gitignore settings are now honored.
Closes: #689979
* group, ungroup: New commands to indicate groups of repositories.
* webapp: Adds newly created repositories to one of these groups:
clients, drives, servers
* vicfg: New command, allows editing (or simply viewing) most
of the repository configuration settings stored in the git-annex branch.
* Added preferred content expressions, configurable using vicfg.
* get --auto: If the local repository has preferred content
configured, only get that content.
* drop --auto: If the repository the content is dropped from has
preferred content configured, drop only content that is not preferred.
* copy --auto: Only transfer content that the destination repository prefers.
* assistant: Now honors preferred content settings when deciding what to
transfer.
* --copies=group:number can now be used to match files that are present
in a specified number of repositories in a group.
* Added --smallerthan, --largerthan, and --inall limits.

as desired, and resumed with git annex fsck --more.
Thanks, Justin Azoff
* New --time-limit option, makes long git-annex commands stop after
a specified amount of time.
* fsck: New --incremental-schedule option which is nice for scheduling
eg, monthly incremental fsck runs in cron jobs.
* Fix fallback to ~/Desktop when xdg-user-dir is not available.
Closes: #688833
* S3: When using a shared cipher, S3 credentials are not stored encrypted
in the git repository, as that would allow anyone with access to
the repository access to the S3 account. Instead, they're stored
in a 600 mode file in the local git repo.
* webapp: Avoid crashing when ssh-keygen -F chokes on an invalid known_hosts
file.
* Always do a system wide installation when DESTDIR is set. Closes: #689052
* The Makefile now builds with the new yesod by default.
Systems like Debian that have the old yesod 1.0.1 should set
GIT_ANNEX_LOCAL_FEATURES=-DWITH_OLD_YESOD
* copy: Avoid updating the location log when no copy is performed.
* configure: Test that uuid -m works, falling back to plain uuid if not.
* Avoid building the webapp on Debian architectures that do not yet
have template haskell and thus yesod. (Should be available for arm soonish
I hope).

git-annex (3.20120924) unstable; urgency=low
* assistant: New command, a daemon which does everything watch does,
as well as automatically syncing file contents between repositories.
* webapp: An interface for managing and configuring the assistant.
* The default backend used when adding files to the annex is changed
from SHA256 to SHA256E, to simplify interoperability with OSX, media
players, and various programs that needlessly look at symlink targets.
To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=SHA256
* init: If no description is provided for a new repository, one will
automatically be generated, like "joey@gnu:~/foo"
* test: Set a lot of git environment variables so testing works in strange
environments that normally need git config to set names, etc.
Closes: #682351 Thanks, gregor herrmann
* Disable ssh connection caching if the path to the control socket would be
too long (and use relative path to minimise path to the control socket).
* migrate: Check content before generating the new key, to avoid generating
a key for corrupt data.
* Support repositories created with --separate-git-dir. Closes: #684405
* reinject: When the provided file doesn't match, leave it where it is,
rather than moving to .git/annex/bad/
* Avoid crashing on encoding errors in filenames when writing transfer info
files and reading from checksum commands.
* sync: Pushes the git-annex branch to remote/synced/git-annex, rather
than directly to remote/git-annex.
* Now supports matching files that are present on a number of remotes
with a specified trust level. Example: --copies=trusted:2

* Fix passing --uuid to git-annex-shell.
* When shaNsum commands cannot be found, use the Haskell SHA library

pass it through the shell.
* dropunused: Allow specifying ranges to drop.
* addunused: New command, the opposite of dropunused, it relinks unused
content into the git repository.

* fsck: Fix up any broken links and misplaced content caused by the
directory hash calculation bug fixed in the last release.
* sync: Sync to lower cost remotes first.
* status: Fixed to run in constant space.
* status: More accurate display of sizes of tmp and bad keys.
* unused: Now uses a bloom filter, and runs in constant space.
Use of a bloom filter does mean it will not notice a small
number of unused keys. For repos with up to half a million keys,
it will miss one key in 1000.
* Added annex.bloomcapacity and annex.bloomaccuracy, which can be
adjusted as desired to tune the bloom filter.
* status: Display amount of memory used by bloom filter, and
detect when it's too small for the number of keys in a repository.
* git-annex-shell: Runs hooks/annex-content after content is received
or dropped.
* Work around a bug in rsync (IMHO) introduced by openSUSE's SIP patch.
* git-annex now behaves as git-annex-shell if symlinked to and run by that
name. The Makefile sets this up, saving some 8 mb of installed size.
* git-union-merge is a demo program, so it is no longer built by default.

* Modifications to support ghc 7.4's handling of filenames.
This version can only be built with ghc 7.4 or newer. See the ghc7.0
branch for older ghcs.
* S3: Fix irrefutable pattern failure when accessing encrypted S3
credentials.
* Use the haskell IfElse library.
* Fix teardown of stale cached ssh connections.
* Fixed to use the strict state monad, to avoid leaking all kinds of memory
due to lazy state update thunks when adding/fixing many files.
* Fixed some memory leaks that occurred when committing journal files.
* Added a annex.queuesize setting, useful when adding hundreds of thousands
of files on a system with plenty of memory.
* whereis: Prints the urls of files that the web special remote knows about.
* addurl --fast: Verifies that the url can be downloaded (only getting
its head), and records the size in the key.
* When checking that an url has a key, verify that the Content-Length,
if available, matches the size of the key.
* addurl: Added a --file option, which can be used to specify what
file the url is added to. This can be used to override the default
filename that is used when adding an url, which is based on the url.
Or, when the file already exists, the url is recorded as another
location of the file.
* addurl: Normalize badly encoded urls.
* addurl: Add --pathdepth option.
* rekey: New plumbing level command, can be used to change the keys used
for files en masse.
* Store web special remote url info in a more efficient location.
(Urls stored with this version will not be visible to older versions.)
* Deal with NFS problem that caused a failure to remove a directory
when removing content from the annex.
* Make a single location log commit after a remote has received or
dropped files. Uses a new "git-annex-shell commit" command when available.
* To avoid commits of data to the git-annex branch after each command
is run, set annex.alwayscommit=false. Its data will then be committed
less frequently, when a merge or sync is done.
* configure: Check if ssh connection caching is supported by the installed
version of ssh and default annex.sshcaching accordingly.
* move --from, copy --from: Now 10 times faster when scanning to find
files in a remote on a local disk; rather than go through the location log
to see which files are present on the remote, it simply looks at the
disk contents directly.

git-annex (3.20120123) unstable; urgency=low
* fsck --from: Fscking a remote is now supported. It's done by retrieving
the contents of the specified files from the remote, and checking them,
so can be an expensive operation. Still, if the remote is a special
remote, or a git repository that you cannot run fsck in locally, it's
nice to have the ability to fsck it.
* If you have any directory special remotes, now would be a good time to
fsck them, in case you were hit by the data loss bug fixed in the
previous release!
* fsck --from remote --fast: Avoids expensive file transfers, at the
expense of not checking file size and/or contents.
* Ssh connection caching is now enabled automatically by git-annex.
Only one ssh connection is made to each host per git-annex run, which
can speed some things up a lot, as well as avoiding repeated password
prompts. Concurrent git-annex processes also share ssh connections.
Cached ssh connections are shut down when git-annex exits.
* To disable the ssh caching (if for example you have your own broader
ssh caching configuration), set annex.sshcaching=false.

* sync: Improved to work well without a central bare repository.
Thanks to Joachim Breitner.
* Rather than manually committing, pushing, pulling, merging, and git annex
merging, we encourage you to give "git annex sync" a try.
* sync --fast: Selects some of the remotes with the lowest annex.cost

* Union merge now finds the least expensive way to represent the merge.
* reinject: Add a sanity check for using an annexed file as the source file.
* Properly handle multiline git config values.

* map: --fast disables use of dot to display map
* Test suite improvements. Current top-level test coverage: 75%
* Improve deletion of files from rsync special remotes. Closes: #652849
* Add --include, which is the same as --not --exclude.
* Format strings can be specified using the new --format option, to control
what is output by git annex find.

* Fix bug in last version in getting contents from bare repositories.
* Ensure that git-annex branch changes are merged into git-annex's index,
which fixes a bug that could cause changes that were pushed to the
git-annex branch to get reverted. As a side effect, it's now safe
for users to check out and commit changes directly to the git-annex
branch.
* map: Fix a failure to detect a loop when both repositories are local
and refer to each other with relative paths.
* Prevent key names from containing newlines.
* add: If interrupted, add can leave files converted to symlinks but not
yet added to git. Running the add again will now clean up this situtation.
* Fix caching of decrypted ciphers, which failed when drop had to check
multiple different encrypted special remotes.
* unannex: Can be run on files that have been added to the annex, but not
yet committed.
* sync: New command that synchronises the local repository and default
remote, by running git commit, pull, and push for you.

* The VFAT filesystem on recent versions of Linux, when mounted with
shortname=mixed, does not get along well with git-annex's mixed case
.git/annex/objects hash directories. To avoid this problem, new content
is now stored in all-lowercase hash directories. Except for non-bare
repositories which would be a pain to transition and cannot be put on FAT.
(Old mixed-case hash directories are still tried for backwards
compatibility.)
* Flush json output, avoiding a buffering problem that could result in
doubled output.
* Avoid needing haskell98 and other fixes for new ghc. Thanks, Mark Wright.
* Bugfix: dropunused did not drop keys with two spaces in their name.
* Support for storing .git/annex on a different device than the rest of the
git repository.
* --inbackend can be used to make git-annex only operate on files
whose content is stored using a specified key-value backend.
* dead: A command which says that a repository is gone for good

* merge: Improve commit messages to mention what was merged.
* Avoid doing auto-merging in commands that don't need fully current
information from the git-annex branch. In particular, git annex add
no longer needs to auto-merge.
* init: When run in an already initalized repository, and without
a description specified, don't delete the old description.
* Optimised union merging; now only runs git cat-file once, and runs

from WORM to SHA256.
To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=WORM
* Sped up some operations on remotes that are on the same host.
* copy --to: Fixed leak when copying many files to a remote on the same
host.
* uninit: Add guard against being run with the git-annex branch checked out.
* Fail if --from or --to is passed to commands that do not support them.
* drop --from is now supported to remove file content from a remote.
* status: Now always shows the current repository, even when it does not
appear in uuid.log.
* fsck: Now works in bare repositories. Checks location log information,
and file contents. Does not check that numcopies is satisfied, as
.gitattributes information about numcopies is not available in a bare
repository.
* unused, dropunused: Now work in bare repositories.
* Removed the setkey command, and added a reinject command with a more
useful interface.
* The fromkey command now takes the key as its first parameter. The --key
option is no longer used.
* Built without any filename containing .git being excluded. Closes: #647215

git-annex (3.20111011) unstable; urgency=low
* This version of git-annex only works with git 1.7.7 and newer.
The breakage with old versions is subtle, and affects the
annex.numcopies settings in .gitattributes, so be sure to upgrade git
to 1.7.7. (Debian package now depends on that version.)
* Don't pass absolute paths to git show-attr, as it started following
symlinks when that's done in 1.7.7. Instead, use relative paths,
which show-attr only handles 100% correctly in 1.7.7. Closes: #645046
* Fix referring to remotes by uuid.
* New or changed repository descriptions in uuid.log now have a timestamp,
which is used to ensure the newest description is used when the uuid.log
has been merged.
* Note that older versions of git-annex will display the timestamp as part
of the repository description, which is ugly but otherwise harmless.
* Add timestamps to trust.log and remote.log too.
* git-annex-shell: Added the --uuid option.
* git-annex now asks git-annex-shell to verify that it's operating in
the expected repository.
* Note that this git-annex will not interoperate with remotes using
older versions of git-annex-shell.
* Now supports git's insteadOf configuration, to modify the url
used to access a remote. Note that pushInsteadOf is not used;
that and pushurl are reserved for actual git pushes. Closes: #644278
* status: List all known repositories.
* When displaying a list of repositories, show git remote names
in addition to their descriptions.

believed to be present in a given repository.
* Arbitrarily complex expressions can be built to limit the files git-annex
operates on, by combining the options --not --and --or -( and -)
Example: git annex get --exclude '*.mp3' --and --not -( --in usbdrive --or --in archive -)
* --copies=N can be used to make git-annex only operate on files with
the specified number of copies. (And --not --copies=N for the inverse.)
* find: Rather than only showing files whose contents are present,
when used with --exclude --copies or --in, displays all files that
match the specified conditions.
* Note that this is a behavior change for git-annex find! Old behavior
can be gotten by using: git-annex find --in .
* status: Massively sped up; remove --fast mode.

* Always ensure git-annex branch exists.
* Modify location log parser to allow future expansion.
* --force will cause add, etc, to operate on ignored files.
* Avoid mangling encoding when storing the description of repository

* rsync is now used when copying files from repos on other filesystems.
cp is still used when copying file from repos on the same filesystem,
since --reflink=auto can make it significantly faster on filesystems

* Added two levels of hashing to object directory and .git-annex logs,
to improve scalability with enormous numbers of annexed

* Git annexes can now be attached to bare git repositories.
(Both the local and remote host must have this version of git-annex
installed for it to work.)
* Support filenames that start with a dash; when such a file is passed
to a utility it will be escaped to avoid it being interpreted as an
option. (I went a little overboard and got the type checker involved
in this, so such files are rather comprehensively supported now.)
* New backends: SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA224
(Supported on systems where corresponding shaNsum commands are available.)
* describe: New subcommand that can set or change the description of
a repository.
* Fix test suite to reap zombies.
(Zombies can be particularly annoying on OSX; thanks to Jimmy Tang
for his help eliminating the infestation... for now.)
* Make test suite not rely on a working cp -pr.
(The Unix wars are still ON!)
* Look for dir.git directories the same as git does.
* Support remote urls specified as relative paths.
* Support non-ssh remote paths that contain tilde expansions.
* fsck: Check for and repair location log damage.
* Bugfix: When fsck detected and moved away corrupt file content, it did
not update the location log.

git-annex (0.21) unstable; urgency=low
* test: Don't rely on chmod -R working.
* unannex: Fix recently introduced bug when attempting to unannex more
than one file at a time.
* test: Set git user name and email in case git can't guess values.
* Fix display of unicode filenames.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 11 Feb 2011 23:21:08 -0400
git-annex (0.20) unstable; urgency=low
* Preserve specified file ordering when instructed to act on multiple
files or directories. For example, "git annex get a b" will now always
get "a" before "b". Previously it could operate in either order.
* unannex: Commit staged changes at end, to avoid some confusing behavior
with the pre-commit hook, which would see some types of commits after
an unannex as checking in of an unlocked file.
* map: New subcommand that uses graphviz to display a nice map of
the git repository network.
* Deal with the mtl/monads-fd conflict.
* configure: Check for sha1sum.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 08 Feb 2011 18:57:24 -0400
git-annex (0.19) unstable; urgency=low
* configure: Support using the uuidgen command if the uuid command is
not available.
* Allow --exclude to be specified more than once.
* There are now three levels of repository trust.
* untrust: Now marks the current repository as untrusted.
* semitrust: Now restores the default trust level. (What untrust used to do.)
* fsck, drop: Take untrusted repositories into account.
* Bugfix: Files were copied from trusted remotes first even if their
annex.cost was higher than other remotes.
* Improved temp file handling. Transfers of content can now be resumed
from temp files later; the resume does not have to be the immediate
next git-annex run.
* unused: Include partially transferred content in the list.
* Bugfix: Running a second git-annex while a first has a transfer in
progress no longer deletes the first processes's temp file.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 28 Jan 2011 14:31:37 -0400
git-annex (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
* Bugfix: `copy --to` and `move --to` forgot to stage location log changes
after transferring the file to the remote repository.
(Did not affect ssh remotes.)
* fsck: Fix bug in moving of corrupted files to .git/annex/bad/
* migrate: Fix support for --backend option.
* unlock: Fix behavior when file content is not present.
* Test suite improvements. Current top-level test coverage: 80%
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 14 Jan 2011 14:17:44 -0400
git-annex (0.17) unstable; urgency=low
* unannex: Now skips files whose content is not present, rather than
it being an error.
* New migrate subcommand can be used to switch files to using a different
backend, safely and with no duplication of content.
* bugfix: Fix crash caused by empty key name. (Thanks Henrik for reporting.)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 09 Jan 2011 10:04:11 -0400
git-annex (0.16) unstable; urgency=low
* git-annex-shell: Avoid exposing any git repo config except for the
annex.uuid when doing configlist.
* bugfix: Running `move --to` with a remote whose UUID was not yet known
could result in git-annex not recording on the local side where the
file was moved to. This could not result in data loss, or even a
significant problem, since the remote *did* record that it had the file.
* Also, add a general guard to detect attempts to record information
about repositories with missing UUIDs.
* bugfix: Running `move --to` with a non-ssh remote failed.
* bugfix: Running `copy --to` with a non-ssh remote actually did a move.
* Many test suite improvements. Current top-level test coverage: 65%
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 07 Jan 2011 14:33:13 -0400
git-annex (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
* Support scp-style urls for remotes (host:path).
* Support ssh urls containing "~".
* Add trust and untrust subcommands, to allow configuring repositories
that are trusted to retain files without explicit checking.
* Fix bug in numcopies handling when multiple remotes pointed to the
same repository.
* Introduce the git-annex-shell command. It's now possible to make
a user have it as a restricted login shell, similar to git-shell.
* Note that git-annex will always use git-annex-shell when accessing
a ssh remote, so all of your remotes need to be upgraded to this
version of git-annex at the same time.
* Now rsync is exclusively used for copying files to and from remotes.
scp is not longer supported.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 31 Dec 2010 22:00:52 -0400
git-annex (0.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Bugfix to git annex unused in a repository with nothing yet annexed.
* Support upgrading from a v0 annex with nothing in it.
* Avoid multiple calls to git ls-files when passed eg, "*".
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 24 Dec 2010 17:38:48 -0400
git-annex (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
* Makefile: Install man page and html (when built).
* Makefile: Add GHCFLAGS variable.
* Fix upgrade from 0.03.
* Support remotes using git+ssh and ssh+git as protocol.
Closes: #607056
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 14 Dec 2010 13:05:10 -0400
git-annex (0.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Add --exclude option to exclude files from processing.
* mwdn2man: Fix a bug in newline supression. Closes: #606578
* Bugfix to git annex add of an unlocked file in a subdir. Closes: #606579
* Makefile: Add PREFIX variable.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 11 Dec 2010 17:32:00 -0400
git-annex (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
* If available, rsync will be used for file transfers from remote
repositories. This allows resuming interrupted transfers.
* Added remote.annex-rsync-options.
* Avoid deleting temp files when rsync fails.
* Improve detection of version 0 repos.
* Add uninit subcommand. Closes: #605749
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 04 Dec 2010 17:27:42 -0400
git-annex (0.10) unstable; urgency=low
* In .gitattributes, the annex.numcopies attribute can be used
to control the number of copies to retain of different types of files.
* Bugfix: Always correctly handle gitattributes when in a subdirectory of
the repository. (Had worked ok for ones like "*.mp3", but failed for
ones like "dir/*".)
* fsck: Fix warning about not enough copies of a file, when locations
are known, but are not available in currently configured remotes.
* precommit: Optimise to avoid calling git-check-attr more than once.
* The git-annex-backend attribute has been renamed to annex.backend.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 28 Nov 2010 19:28:05 -0400
git-annex (0.09) unstable; urgency=low
* Add copy subcommand.
* Fix bug in setkey subcommand triggered by move --to.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 27 Nov 2010 17:14:59 -0400
git-annex (0.08) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix `git annex add ../foo` (when ran in a subdir of the repo).
* Add configure step to build process.
* Only use cp -a if it is supported, falling back to cp -p or plain cp
as needed for portability.
* cp --reflink=auto is used if supported, and will make git annex unlock
much faster on filesystems like btrfs that support copy on write.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 21 Nov 2010 13:45:44 -0400
git-annex (0.07) unstable; urgency=low
* find: New subcommand.
* unused: New subcommand, finds unused data. (Split out from fsck.)
* dropunused: New subcommand, provides for easy dropping of unused keys
by number, as listed by the unused subcommand.
* fsck: Print warnings to stderr; --quiet can now be used to only see
problems.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 18:41:50 -0400
git-annex (0.06) unstable; urgency=low
* fsck: Check if annex.numcopies is satisfied.
* fsck: Verify the sha1 of files when the SHA1 backend is used.
* fsck: Verify the size of files when the WORM backend is used.
* fsck: Allow specifying individual files if fscking everything
is not desired.
* fsck: Fix bug, introduced in 0.04, in detection of unused data.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 13 Nov 2010 16:24:29 -0400
git-annex (0.05) unstable; urgency=low
* Optimize both pre-commit and lock subcommands to not call git diff
on every file being committed/locked.
(This actually also works around a bug in ghc, that caused
git-annex 0.04 pre-commit to sometimes corrupt filename being read
from git ls-files and fail.
See <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4493>
The excessive number of calls made by pre-commit exposed the ghc bug.
Thanks Josh Triplett for the debugging.)
* Build with -O2.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:31:09 -0400
git-annex (0.04) unstable; urgency=low
* Add unlock subcommand, which replaces the symlink with a copy of
the file's content in preparation of changing it. The "edit" subcommand
is an alias for unlock.
* Add lock subcommand.
* Unlocked files will now automatically be added back into the annex when
committed (and the updated symlink committed), by some magic in the
pre-commit hook.
* The SHA1 backend is now fully usable.
* Add annex.version, which will be used to automate upgrades
between incompatible versions.
* Reorganised the layout of .git/annex/
* The new layout will be automatically upgraded to the first time
git-annex is used in a repository with the old layout.
* Note that git-annex 0.04 cannot transfer content from old repositories
that have not yet been upgraded.
* Annexed file contents are now made unwritable and put in unwriteable
directories, to avoid them accidentally being removed or modified.
(Thanks Josh Triplett for the idea.)
* Add build dep on libghc6-testpack-dev. Closes: #603016
* Avoid using runghc to run test suite as it is not available on all
architectures. Closes: #603006
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 10 Nov 2010 14:23:23 -0400
git-annex (0.03) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix support for file:// remotes.
* Add --verbose
* Fix SIGINT handling.
* Fix handling of files with unusual characters in their name.
* Fixed memory leak; git-annex no longer reads the whole file list
from git before starting, and will be much faster with large repos.
* Fix crash on unknown symlinks.
* Added remote.annex-scp-options and remote.annex-ssh-options.
* The backends to use when adding different sets of files can be configured
via gitattributes.
* In .gitattributes, the git-annex-backend attribute can be set to the
names of backends to use when adding different types of files.
* Add fsck subcommand. (For now it only finds unused key contents in the
annex.)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 07 Nov 2010 18:26:04 -0400
git-annex (0.02) unstable; urgency=low
* Can scp annexed files from remote hosts, and check remote hosts for
file content when dropping files.
* New move subcommand, that makes it easy to move file contents from
or to a remote.
* New fromkey subcommand, for registering urls, etc.
* git-annex init will now set up a pre-commit hook that fixes up symlinks
before they are committed, to ensure that moving symlinks around does not
break them.
* More intelligent and fast staging of modified files; git add coalescing.
* Add remote.annex-ignore git config setting to allow completly disabling
a given remote.
* --from/--to can be used to control the remote repository that git-annex
uses.
* --quiet can be used to avoid verbose output
* New plumbing-level dropkey and addkey subcommands.
* Lots of bug fixes.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 27 Oct 2010 16:39:29 -0400
git-annex (0.01) unstable; urgency=low
* First prerelease.
