If you use + a directory special remote, you should fsck it, to avoid potential + data loss. + Example: git annex fsck --from mydirectory + +git-annex 3.20120123 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]] +[[!toggleable text=""" + * fsck --from: Fscking a remote is now supported. It's done by retrieving + the contents of the specified files from the remote, and checking them, + so can be an expensive operation. Still, if the remote is a special + remote, or a git repository that you cannot run fsck in locally, it's + nice to have the ability to fsck it. + * If you have any directory special remotes, now would be a good time to + fsck them, in case you were hit by the data loss bug fixed in the + previous release! + * fsck --from remote --fast: Avoids expensive file transfers, at the + expense of not checking file size and/or contents. + * Ssh connection caching is now enabled automatically by git-annex. + Only one ssh connection is made to each host per git-annex run, which + can speed some things up a lot, as well as avoiding repeated password + prompts. Concurrent git-annex processes also share ssh connections. + Cached ssh connections are shut down when git-annex exits. + * To disable the ssh caching (if for example you have your own broader + ssh caching configuration), set annex.sshcaching=false."""]]
