+Several bug fixes involving v6 unlocked files today. Several related bugs
+were caused by relying on the inode cache information, without a fallback
+to handle the case where the inode cache had not gotten updated. While the
+inode cache is generally kept up-to-date well by the smudge/clean
+filtering, it is just a cache and can be out of date. Did some auditing for
+such problems and hopefully I've managed to find them all.
+
+Also, there was a tricky upgrade case where a v5 repository contained a
+v6 unlocked file, and the annexed content got copied into it. This
+triggered the above-described bugs, and in this case the worktree needs
+to be updated on upgrade, to replace the pointer file with the content.
+
+As I caught up with recent activity, it was nice to see some contributions
+from others. James MacMahon sent in a patch to improve the filenames
+generated by `importfeed`. And, xloem is writing workflow documentation for
+git-annex in [[todo/Workflow_guide]].
