This included fixing +its handling of renaming, and various other bugs. + +The assistant in direct mode now seems to work well on OSX. So I made +the assistant *default* to making direct mode repositories on OSX. + +That'll presumably flush out any bugs. :) More importantly, +it let me close several OSX-specific bugs to do with interactions between +git-annex's symlinks and OSX programs that were apparently written under the +misprehension that it's a user-mode program's job to manually follow symlinks. + +Of course, defaulting to direct mode also means users can just modify files +as they like and the assistant will commit and sync the changed files. +I'm waiting to see if direct mode becomes popular enough to make it the +default on all OS's. |
