The test suite is passing again for v5 repos, and is almost +passing for v6 repos. Also I decided to make `git annex init` create v5 +repos for now, so `git annex init --version=6` or a `git annex upgrade` +is needed to get a v6 repo. So while I still have plenty of todo items for +v6 repos, they are working reasonably well and almost ready for early +adopters. + +The only real blocker to merging it is that the database stuff used by v6 +is not optimised yet and probably slow, and even in v5 repos it will query +the database. I hope to find an optimisation that avoids all database +overhead unless unlocked files are used in a v6 repo. + +I'll probably make one more release before that is merged though. Yesterday +I fixed a small security hole in `git annex repair`, which could expose the +contents of an otherwise not world-writable repository to local users. + +BTW, the [2015 git-annex user survey](http://git-annex-survey.branchable.com/polls/2015/) +closes in two weeks, please go fill it out if you haven't yet done so! |
