+Landed two final changes before the release..
+
+First, made git-annex detect if any of the several long-running git process
+it talks to have died, and restart them. My stress test is reliably able to
+get at least `git cat-file` to crash, and while I don't know why (and
+obviously should follow up by getting a core dump and stack trace of it),
+the assistant needs to deal with this to be robust.
+
+Secondly, wrote rather a lot of java code to better open the web browser
+when the Android app is started. A thread listens for urls to be written to
+a fifo. Creating a fifo from fortran^Wjava code is .. interesting. Glad to
+see the back of the `am` command; it did me no favors.
