\ No newline at end of file +git-annex (6.20160512) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium + + * Change git annex info remote encryption description to use wording + closer to what's used in initremote. + * webapp: Avoid confusing display of dead remotes. + * adjust: If the adjusted branch already exists, avoid overwriting it, + since it might contain changes that have not yet been propigated to the + original branch. + * assistant: Fix bug that caused v6 pointer files to be annexed by the + assistant. + * assistant: Fix race in v6 mode that caused downloaded file content to + sometimes not replace pointer files. + * add: Adding a v6 pointer file used to annex it; now the pointer file is + added to git as-is. (git add of a pointer file already did the right + thing) + * adjust: Add --fix adjustment, which is useful when the git directory + is in a nonstandard place. + * Work around git weirdness in handling of relative path to GIT_INDEX_FILE + when in a subdirectory of the repository. This affected git annex view. + * Fix crash when entering/changing view in a subdirectory of a repo that + has a dotfile in its root. + * Support building with ghc 8.0.1. + * Pass the various gnupg-options configs to gpg in several cases where + they were not before. Most notably, gnupg-decrypt-options is now + passed when decrypting an encrypted cipher. + * Updated cabal file explictly lists source files. The tarball + on hackage will include only the files needed for cabal install; + it is NOT the full git-annex source tree. + * debian/changelog, debian/NEWS, debian/copyright: Converted to symlinks + to CHANGELOG, NEWS, and COPYRIGHT, which used to symlink to these instead. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Wed, 11 May 2016 16:08:38 -0400 + +git-annex (6.20160511) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Fix bug that sometimes prevented git-annex smudge --clean from consuming + all its input, which resulted in git add bypassing git-annex. + * Fix build with directory-1.2.6.2. + * Improve behavior when a just added http remote is not available + during uuid probe. Do not mark it as annex-ignore, so it will be tried + again later. + * Android: Icon refresh. + Thanks, freewheelinfranks. + * Added DIRHASH-LOWER to external special remote protocol. + * git-annex.cabal: Add Setup-Depends. + * stack.yaml: Enable explicit-setup-deps. + * Windows: Fix several bugs in propigation of changes from the adjusted + branch back to the master branch. + * Windows: Fix an over-long temp directory name. + * map: Hide dead repositories that are not connected to the graph. + * map: Changed colors; red is used for untrusted repositories and grey + for dead. + * version: Display OS version and architecture too. + * Propigate GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE environment to external special + remotes. + * Added annex.gnupg-decrypt-options and + remote.<name>.annex-gnupg-decrypt-options, which are passed to gpg + when it's decrypting data. + * fsck: When a key is not previously known in the location log, + record something so that reinject --known will work. + * In the unusual configuration where annex.crippledfilesystem=true but + core.symlinks=true, store object contents in mixed case hash + directories so that symlinks will point to them. + * Added new encryption=sharedpubkey mode for special remotes. + This is useful for makking a special remote that anyone with a clone + of the repo and your public keys can upload files to, but only you can + decrypt the files stored in it. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Wed, 11 May 2016 12:41:42 -0400 + +git-annex (6.20160419) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Fix bug that prevented resuming of uploads to encrypted special remotes + that used chunking. + * That bug could also expose the names of keys to such remotes, so it is a + minor security issue. + * Fix duplicate progress meter display when downloading from a git remote + over http with -J. + * reinject: When src file's content cannot be verified, leave it alone, + instead of deleting it. + * reinject: Added new mode which can reinject known files into the annex. + For example: git-annex reinject --known /mnt/backup/* + * calckey: New plumbing command, calculates the key that would be used + to refer to a file. + * Fix bug that prevented annex.sshcaching=false configuration from taking + effect when on a crippled filesystem. Thanks, divergentdave. + * git 2.9.0 is going to prevent git merge from merging in unrelated + branches. Since the webapp's pairing etc features often combine + together repositories with unrelated histories, work around + this behavior change when the assistant merges, by passing + --allow-unrelated-histories. Note though that this is not done + for git annex sync's merges, so it will follow git's default or + configured behavior. + * When git-annex is used with a git version older than 2.2.0, disable + support for adjusted branches, since GIT_COMMON_DIR is needed to update + them and was first added in that version of git. + * Avoid setting LOCPATH in linux standalone builds that are built with + a ghc that has been fixed to not hang when it cannot find locale files. + * Isolate test suite from global git config settings. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Thu, 28 Apr 2016 09:31:14 -0400 + +git-annex (6.20160418) unstable; urgency=medium + + * smudge: Print a warning when annex.thin is set, as git's smudge + interface does not allow honoring that configuration. + * webapp: When $HOME is a git repository, and has been initialized for + use by git-annex, opening the webapp went ahead and ran the assistant + there, annexing all files. Since this is almost certianly not + desirable, especially when the user is just opening the webapp from + a dekstop menu which happens to run it in $HOME, the webapp will now not + treat such a $HOME git repository as a git-annex repository. + * webapp: Update url to add gitlab.com ssh key. + * Fix bug in v6 mode that prevented treating unlocked executable files + as annexed. If you have such files, run git annex init --version=6 + to update the cache after upgrading to this version of git-annex. + * Preserve execute bits of unlocked files in v6 mode. + * fsck: Warn when core.sharedRepository is set and an annex object file's + write bit is not set and cannot be set due to the file being owned + by a different user. + * Fix hang when dropping content needs to lock the content on a + ssh remote, which occurred when the remote has git-annex version + 5.20151019 or newer. (The bug was in the client side; the remote + git-annex-shell does not need to be upgraded.) + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Mon, 18 Apr 2016 18:33:52 -0400 + +git-annex (6.20160412) unstable; urgency=medium + + * adjust --unlock: Enters an adjusted branch in which all annexed files + are unlocked. The v6 equivilant of direct mode, but much cleaner! + * Upgrading a direct mode repository to v6 has changed to enter + an adjusted unlocked branch. This makes the direct mode to v6 upgrade + able to be performed in one clone of a repository without affecting + other clones, which can continue using v5 and direct mode. + * init --version=6: Automatically enter the adjusted unlocked branch + when filesystem doesn't support symlinks. + * ddar remote: fix ssh calls + Thanks, Robie Basak + * log: Display time with time zone. + * log --raw-date: Use to display seconds from unix epoch. + * v6: Close pointer file handles more quickly, to avoid problems on Windows. + * sync: Show output of git commit. + * annex.thin and annex.hardlink are now supported on Windows. + * unannex --fast now makes hard links on Windows. + * Fix bug in annex.largefiles mimetype= matching when git-annex + is run in a subdirectory of the repository. + * Fix build with ghc v7.11.

Closes: #789225 + * Fix memory leak in last release, which affected commands like + git-annex status when a large non-annexed file is present in the work + tree. + * fsck: When the only copy of a file is in a dead repository, mention + the repository. + * info: Mention when run in a dead repository. + * Linux and OSX standalone builds put the bundled gpg last in PATH, + so any system gpg will be preferred over it. + * Avoid crashing when built with MagicMime support, but when the magic + database cannot be loaded. + * Include magic database in the linux and OSX standalone builds. + * Fix memory leak when hashing files, which triggered during fsck + when an external hash program was not used. + (This leak was introduced in version 6.20160114.) + * Support --metadata field<number, --metadata field>number etc + to match ranges of numeric values. + * Similarly, support preferred content expressions like + metadata=field<number and metadata=field>number + * The pre-commit-annex hook script that automatically extracts + metadata has been updated to also use exiftool. + Thanks, Klaus Ethgen. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Mon, 29 Feb 2016 12:41:49 -0400 + +git-annex (6.20160217) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Support getting files from read-only repositories. + * checkpresentkey: Allow to be run without an explicit remote. + * checkpresentkey: Added --batch. + * Work around problem with concurrent-output when in a non-unicode locale + by avoiding use of it in such a locale. Instead -J will behave as if + it was built without concurrent-output support in this situation. + * Fix storing of filenames of v6 unlocked files when the filename is not + representable in the current locale. + * fsck: Detect and fix missing associated file mappings in v6 repositories. + * fsck: Populate unlocked files in v6 repositories whose content is + present in annex/objects but didn't reach the work tree. + * When initializing a v6 repo on a crippled filesystem, don't force it + into direct mode. + * Windows: Fix v6 unlocked files to actually work. + * add, addurl, import, importfeed: When in a v6 repository on a crippled + filesystem, add files unlocked. + * annex.addunlocked: New configuration setting, makes files always be + added unlocked. (v6 only) + * Improve format of v6 unlocked pointer files to support keys containing + slashes. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Wed, 17 Feb 2016 14:48:51 -0400 + +git-annex (6.20160211) unstable; urgency=medium + + * annex.addsmallfiles: New option controlling what is done when + adding files not matching annex.largefiles. + * Fix reversion in lookupkey, contentlocation, and examinekey which + caused them to sometimes output side messages. + * webapp: Fix deletion of current repository directory. + * Added "nothing" to preferred content expression syntax. + * annex.largefiles can be configured in .gitattributes too; + this is particulary useful for v6 repositories, since the + .gitattributes configuration will apply in all clones of the + repository. + * Limit annex.largefiles parsing to the subset of preferred content + expressions that make sense in its context. So, not "standard" + or "lackingcopies", etc. + * annex.largefiles: Add support for mimetype=text/* etc, when git-annex + is linked with libmagic. + * matchexpression: Added --largefiles option to parse an annex.largefiles + expression. + * Brought back the dbus and xmpp build flags, so build from source can be + done without C libraries that may be hard to install. + * init: Fix bugs in submodule .git symlink fixup, that occurred when + initializing in a subdirectory of a submodule and a submodule of a + submodule. + * WebDAV: Set depth 1 in PROPFIND request, for better compatibility with + some servers. Thanks, wzhd. + * WebDAV: Remove a bogus trailing slash from the end of the url to the + temporary store location for a key. Thanks, wzhd. + * S3: Allow configuring with requeststyle=path to use path-style bucket + access instead of the default DNS-style access. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Thu, 11 Feb 2016 11:42:19 -0400 + +git-annex (6.20160126) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Fix nasty reversion in the last release that broke sync --content's + handling of many preferred content expressions. + * whereis --json: Urls are now listed inside the remote that claims them, + rather than all together at the end. + * info, add, whereis, find: Support --batch mode. + * Force output to be line-buffered, even when it's not connected to the + terminal. This is particuarly important for commands with --batch + output, which was not always being flushed at an appropriate time. + * add, import: Support --json output. + * addurl --json: Include field for added key (unless the file was + added directly to git due to annex.largefiles configuration.) + (Also done by add --json and import --json) + * registerurl: Check if a remote claims the url, same as addurl does. + * Bug fix: Git config settings passed to git-annex -c did not always take + effect. + * assistant: Use udisks2 dbus events to detect when disks are mounted, + instead of relying on gnome/kde stuff that is not stable. + * Fix build with QuickCheck 2.8.2 + * matchexpression: New plumbing command to check if a preferred content + expression matches some data. + * Removed the webapp-secure build flag, rolling it into the webapp build + flag. + * Removed the quvi, tahoe, feed, and tfds build flags, adding + aeson feed and regex-tdfa to the core dependencies. + * Roll the dns build flag into the assistant build flag. + * Debian: Avoid building debug package, since gdb is not often useful + to debug haskell programs. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:57:42 -0400 + +git-annex (6.20160114) unstable; urgency=medium + + "hexapodia as the key insight" + + * Added v6 repository mode, but v5 is still the default for now. + * unlock, lock: In v6 mode, unlocking a file changes it from a symlink to a + pointer file, and this change can be committed to the git repository. + For details, see http://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/unlocked_files/ + * The upgrade to version 6 is not done fully automatically yet, because + upgrading a direct mode repository to version 6 will prevent old + versions of git-annex from working in other clones of that repository. + For details, see http://git-annex.branchable.com/upgrades/ + * init: --version parameter added to control which supported repository + version to use. + * init, upgrade: Configure .git/info/attributes to use git-annex + as a smudge filter. In v6 repository mode, this makes git add + add files to the annex in unlocked mode, unless overridden by + annex.largefiles configuration. + * assistant: In v6 mode, adds files in unlocked mode, so they can + continue to be modified. + * Added annex.thin setting, which makes unlocked files in v6 repositories + be hard linked to their content, instead of a copy. This saves disk + space but means any modification of an unlocked file will lose the local + (and possibly only) copy of the old version. + * Enable annex.thin by default on upgrade from direct mode to v6, since + direct mode made the same tradeoff. + * fix: Adjusts unlocked files as configured by annex.thin. + * persistent-sqlite is now a hard build dependency, since v6 repository + mode needs it. + + + * status: On crippled filesystems, was displaying M for all annexed files + that were present. Probably caused by a change to what git status + displays in this situation. Fixed by treating files git thinks are + modified the same as typechanged files. + * addurl: Added --batch and --with-files options. + * addurl: Support --json, particularly useful in --batch mode. + * addurl: Refuse to overwrite any existing, non-annexed file. + * Debian: Adjust build dependencies for webapp, DAV. Now available on + mips, mipsel, but temporarily removed armel since build is failing + there. + * info: Fix "backend usage" numbers, which were counting present keys + twice. + * info --json: Improve json for "backend usage", using a nested object + with fields for each backend instead of the previous weird nested lists. + This may break existing parsers of this json output, if there were any. + * whereis --json: Make url list be included in machine-parseable form. + * test: Added --keep-failures option. + * unused: Bug fix when a new file was added to the annex, and then + removed (but not git rmed). git still has the add staged in this case, + so the content should not be unused and was wrongly treated as such. + * migrate: Copy over metadata to new key. + * rekey: No longer copies over urls from the old to the new key. + It makes sense for migrate to do that, but not for this low-level + (and little used) plumbing command to. + * view: Fix crash in non-unicode capable locale when entering a view + of metadata containing a slash or backslash. + * When annex.http-headers is used to set the User-Agent header, avoid + sending User-Agent: git-annex + * Windows: Fix rsync cross-drive hack to work with msys2 rsync. + Thanks, Pieter Kitslaar. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Thu, 14 Jan 2016 10:14:19 -0400 + +git-annex (5.20151218) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Add S3 features to git-annex version output. + * webdav: When testing the WebDAV server, send a file with content. + The empty file it was sending tickled bugs in some php WebDAV server. + * fsck: Failed to honor annex.diskreserve when checking a remote. + * Debian: Build depend on concurrent-output. + * Fix insecure temporary permissions when git-annex repair is used in + in a corrupted git repository. + * Fix potential denial of service attack when creating temp dirs. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Fri, 18 Dec 2015 12:09:33 -0400 + +git-annex (5.20151208) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Build with -j1 again to get reproducible build. + * Display progress meter in -J mode when copying from a local git repo, + to a local git repo, and from a remote git repo. + * Display progress meter in -J mode when downloading from the web. + * map: Improve display of git remotes with non-ssh urls, including http + and gcrypt. + * When core.sharedRepository is set, annex object files are not made mode + 444, since that prevents a user other than the file owner from locking + them. Instead, a mode such as 664 is used in this case. + * tahoe: Include tahoe capabilities in whereis display. + * import: Changed to honor annex.largefiles settings. + * addurl, importfeed: Changed to honor annex.largefiles settings, + when the content of the url is downloaded. (Not when using --fast or + --relaxed.) + * webapp: Fix bugs that could result in a relative path such as "." + being written to ~/.config/git-annex/autostart, and ignore any such + relative paths in the file. + This was a reversion caused by the relative path changes in 5.20150113. + * dropunused: Make more robust when trying to drop an object that has + already been dropped. + * Fix reversion in handling of long filenames, particularly when using + addurl/importfeed, which was introduced in the previous release. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Tue, 08 Dec 2015 11:14:03 -0400 + +git-annex (5.20151116) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Use concurrent-output library when configured with -fConcurrentOutput. + This allows nicely displayed messages when using the -J flag. + * Additional commands now support the -J flag: + fsck, drop, add, addurl, import + * import: Avoid very ugly error messages when the directory files + are imported to is not a directort, but perhaps an annexed file. + * Concurrent progress bars are now displayed when using -J with a command + that moves file contents around. + * Fix race that could result in an annexed file's symlink not being + created, when eg, running concurrent git-annex adds. + * add: Fix error recovery rollback to not move the injested file content + out of the annex back to the file, because other files may point to + that same content. Instead, copy the injected file content out to + recover. + * quvi may output utf-8 encoded data when the conifigured locale doesn't + support that; avoid crashing on such invalid encoding. + * runshell: Avoid failing when $HOME/.ssh does not exist and cannot be + created. + * Make the git-annex-standalone.deb prevent runshell from installing + wrappers into $HOME/.ssh + * Make git-annex-standalone.deb include the git-annex html documentation, + desktop file, and base completion file, same as the regular git-annex.deb. + * fsck: When fscking a dead repo, avoid incorrect "fixing location log" + message, and display a warning about it being dead, since it's unusual + to have access to a dead repo. + * assistant: Pass ssh-options through 3 more git pull/push calls + that were missed before. + * Added annex.pidlock and annex.pidlocktimeout configuration to support + filesystems where POSIX fcntl locks cannot be used. + * init: Automatically enable annex.pidlock when necessary. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Mon, 16 Nov 2015 14:17:40 -0400 + +git-annex (5.20151102.1) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Avoid installing desktop file and program file if cabal install + git-annex is run as root, since that is not a systemwide install, + but to /root, and so generating a systemwide desktop file is not right. + * When cabal install is run with the desktop file location not writable, + display a warning, but continue successfully. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Tue, 03 Nov 2015 12:08:38 -0400 + +git-annex (5.20151102) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Use statvfs on OSX. + * Symlink timestamp preservation code uses functions + from unix-2.7.0 when available, which should be more portable. + * enableremote: List uuids and descriptions of remotes that can be + enabled, and accept either the uuid or the description in leu if the + name. + * Catch up with current git behavior when both repo and repo.git exist; + it seems it now prefers repo in this case, although historically it may + have preferred repo.git. + * Fix failure to build with aws-0.13.0. + * When built with aws-0.13.0, the S3 special remote can be used to create + google nearline buckets, by setting storageclass=NEARLINE. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Mon, 02 Nov 2015 12:41:20 -0400 + +git-annex (5.20151019) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Fix a longstanding, but unlikely to occur bug, where dropping + a file from a remote could race with other drops of the same file, + and result in all copies of its content being lost. + * git-annex-shell: Added lockcontent command, to prevent dropping of + a key's content. This is necessary due to the above bugfix. + * In some cases, the above bugfix changes what git-annex allows you to + drop: + - When a file is present in several special remotes, + but not in any accessible git repositories, dropping it from one of + the special remotes will now fail. Instead, the file has to be + moved from one of the special remotes to the git repository, and can + then safely be dropped from the git repository. + - If a git remote has too old a version of git-annex-shell installed, + git-annex won't trust it to hold onto a copy of a file when dropping + that file from the local git repository. + * Changed drop ordering when using git annex sync --content or the + assistant, to drop from remotes first and from the local repo last. + This works better with the behavior changes to drop in many cases. + * Do verification of checksums of annex objects downloaded from remotes. + * When annex objects are received into git repositories from other git + repos, their checksums are verified then too. + * To get the old, faster, behavior of not verifying checksums, set + annex.verify=false, or remote.<name>.annex-verify=false. + * setkey, rekey: These commands also now verify that the provided file + matches the expected checksum of the key, unless annex.verify=false. + * reinject: Already verified content; this can now be disabled by + setting annex.verify=false. + * sync, merge, assistant: When git merge failed for a reason other + than a conflicted merge, such as a crippled filesystem not allowing + particular characters in filenames, git-annex would make a merge commit + that could omit such files or otherwise be bad. Fixed by aborting the + whole merge process when git merge fails for any reason other than a + merge conflict. + * Allow building with S3 disabled again. + * Ported disk free space checking code to work on Solaris. + * Windows webapp: Fix support for entering password when setting + up a ssh remote. + * copy --auto was checking the wrong repo's preferred content. + (--from was checking what --to should, and vice-versa.) + Fixed this bug, which was introduced in version 5.20150727. + * Avoid unncessary write to the location log when a file is unlocked + and then added back with unchanged content. + * S3: Fix support for using https. + * Avoid displaying network transport warning when a ssh remote + does not yet have an annex.uuid set. + * Debian: Add torrent library to build-depends as it's packaged now, + and stop recommending bittornado | bittorrent. + * Debian: Remove build dependency on transformers library, as it is now + included in ghc. + * Debian: Remove menu file, since a desktop file is provided and + lintian says there can be only one. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Mon, 19 Oct 2015 13:59:01 -0400 + +git-annex (5.20150930) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Added new linux standalone "ancient" build to support kernels + like 2.6.32. + * info: Don't allow use in a non-git-annex repository, since it + uses the git-annex branch and would create it if it were missing. + * assistant: When updating ~/.ssh/config, preserve any symlinks. + * webapp: Remove the "disable remote" feature from the UI. + * S3: When built with aws-0.13.0, supports using more storage classes. + In particular, storageclass=STANDARD_IA to use Amazon's + new Infrequently Accessed storage, and storageclass=NEARLINE + to use Google's NearLine storage. + * Improve ~/.ssh/config modification code to not add trailing spaces + to lines it cannot parse. + * Fix a crash at direct mode merge time when .git/index doesn't exist + yet. Triggered by eg, git-annex sync --no-commit in a fresh clone of + a repository. + * status: Show added but not yet committed files. + * Added stack.yaml to support easy builds from source with stack. + + -- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Wed, 30 Sep 2015 14:31:52 -0400 + +git-annex (5.20150916) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Fix Windows build to work with ghc 7.10. + * init: Fix reversion in detection of repo made with git clone --shared + * info: Support querying info of individual files in direct mode. + * unused: Fix reversion in 5.20150727 that broke parsing of the + --unused-refspec option.
