Backlog +is 157. + +The most significant one prevents git-annex from reading in the whole +content of a large git object when it wants to check if it's an annex +symlink. In several situations where large files were committed to git, or +staged, git-annex could do a lot of work, and use a lot of memory and maybe +crash. Fixed by checking the size of an object before asking +`git cat-file` for its content. + +Also a couple of improvements around versions and upgrading. IIRC git-annex +used to only support one repository version at a time, but this was changed +to support V6 as an optional upgrade from V5, and so the supported versions +became a list. Since V3 repositories are identical to V5 other than the +version, I added it to the supported version list, and any V3 repos out +there can be used without upgading. Particularly useful if they're on +read-only media. + +And, there was a bug in the automatic upgrading of a remote that caused it +to be upgraded all the way to V6. Now it will only be upgraded to V5. + +Today's work was sponsored by Jake Vosloo on +[Patreon](https://patreon.com/joeyh/). |
