-News for git-annex 6.20170228:
-
-   This version of git-annex has mitigations for SHA1 hash collision
-   problems.
-   A new annex.securehashesonly configuration, when used in combination with
-   signed git commits, avoids potential hash collision problems in git-annex
-   repositories. For details, see this web page:
-   <https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/using\_signed\_git\_commits/>

-   * 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."""]]

+   * Ssh password prompting improved when using -J for concurrency.
+     When ssh connection caching is enabled (and when GIT\_ANNEX\_USE\_GIT\_SSH
+     is not set), only one ssh password prompt will be made per host, and
+     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.
+   * Removed dependency on MissingH, instead depending on the split library.
+   * Progress is displayed for transfers of files of unknown size.
+   * Work around bug in git 2.13.0 involving GIT\_COMMON\_DIR that broke
+     merging changes into adjusted branches."""]]
