-**Note** this is a security fix release. A prompt upgrade is strongly
-recommended. Attacks using this security hole will involve the attacker
-either providing a ssh repository url to the user, or the user pulling from
-a git-annex repository provided by an attacker and then running `git annex
-enableremote`. For details about the security hole, see
-[[bugs/dashed_ssh_hostname_security_hole]]. CVE-2017-12976

-git-annex 6.20170818 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * Security fix: Disallow hostname starting with a dash, which
-     would get passed to ssh and be treated an option. This could
-     be used by an attacker who provides a crafted repository url
-     to cause the victim to execute arbitrary code via -oProxyCommand.
-     (The same class of security hole recently affected git itself.)
-   * git-annex.cabal: Deal with breaking changes in Cabal 2.0.
-   * Fix build with QuickCheck 2.10.
-   * fsck: Support --json.
-   * move, copy: Support --batch.
-   * Added GIT\_ANNEX\_VECTOR\_CLOCK environment variable, which can be used to
-     override the default timestamps used in log files in the git-annex
-     branch. This is a dangerous environment variable; use with caution.
-   * Fix a git-annex test failure when run on NFS due to NFS lock files
-     preventing directory removal.
-   * test: Avoid most situations involving failure to delete test
-     directories, by forking a worker process and only deleting the test
-     directory once it exits.
-   * Disable http-client's default 30 second response timeout when HEADing
-     an url to check if it exists. Some web servers take quite a long time
-     to answer a HEAD request.
-   * Added remote configuration settings annex-ignore-command and
-     annex-sync-command, which are dynamic equivilants of the annex-ignore
-     and annex-sync configurations.
-   * Prevent spaces from being embedded in the name of new WORM keys,
-     as that handing spaces in keys would complicate things like the
-     external special remote protocol.
-   * migrate: WORM keys containing spaces will be migrated to not contain
-     spaces anymore.
-   * External special remotes will refuse to operate on keys with spaces in
-     their names. That has never worked correctly due to the design of the
-     external special remote protocol. Display an error message suggesting
-     migration.
-   * Fix incorrect external special remote documentation, which said that
-     the filename parameter to the TRANSFER command could not contain
-     spaces. It can in fact contain spaces. Special remotes implementors
-     that relied on that may need to fix bugs in their special remotes.
-   * Fix the external special remotes git-annex-remote-ipfs,
-     git-annex-remote-torrent and the example.sh template to correctly
-     support filenames with spaces.
-   * Windows: Win32 package has subsumed Win32-extras; update dependency."""]]
