+As well as making a new release, I rewrote most of the Makefile, so that it
+uses cabal to build git-annex. This avoids some duplication, and most
+importantly, means that the Makefile can auto-detect available libraries
+rather than needing to juggle build flags manually. Which was becoming a
+real pain.
+
+I had avoided doing this before because cabal is slow for me on my little
+netbook. Adding ten seconds to every rebuild really does matter! But I came
+up with a hack to let me do incremental development builds without the
+cabal overhead, by intercepting and reusing the ghc command that cabal
+runs.
+
+There was also cabal "fun" to get the Android build working with cabal.
+And more fun involving building the test suite. For various reasons, I
+decided to move the test suite into the git-annex binary. So you can run
+`git annex test` at any time, any place, and it self-tests. That's a neat
+trick I've seen one or two other programs do, and probably the nicest thing
+to come out of what was otherwise a pretty yak shaving change that involved
+babysitting builds all day.

-cabal install yesod didn't work, needed --force-reinstalls, then went through - but still the same error then on installing git-annex. Since afterwards my cabal stuff seemed to be wacky and since you wrote you got the mac app fully working, I just nuked my cabal stuff and used your install. Worked so far, but since I am eager for the direct repo stuff I switched my repo to direct mode. But now I get this on sync and - which is in this case a bit worse, since I can't switch back - indirect:

-I am at a loss about the error message you showed. It seems to have something to do with gpg signed data
-being present in the git-annex branch of your repository, but git-annex doesn't do that. I think you need to either file a [[bug|bugs]] report with more information, and/or email me your repository so I can investigate what's going on with it to make this happen. (joey@kitenet.net)

-well, whatever it was, the download from jimmy's git builder works - I got the 20130107 build from his site (since I had problems with your latest osx build) and it didn't show that weird message anymore and let me sync just fine. It might be something with my repo - but the ...07 version seems to be able to handle it just fine.
