+Fixed a bug that one or two people had mentioned years ago, but I was never
+able to reproduce myself or get anyone to reproduce in a useful way. It
+caused log files that were supposed to be committed to the git-annex branch
+to end up in master. Turned out to involve weird stuff when the environment
+contains two different settings for a single variable. So was easily fixed
+at last. (I'm pretty sure the code would have never had this bug if
+Data.AssocList was not buried inside an xml library, which rather
+discourages using it when dealing with the environment.)
+
+Also worked on, and hopefully fixed anther OSX cpu optimisations problem.
+This one involving shared libraries that git-annex uses for XMPP.
+
+Also made the assistant detect corrupt .git/annex/index files on startup
+and remove them. It already was able to recover from corrupt .git/index
+files.
+
+Today's work was sponsored by David Wagner.
