I hope debug-me will be useful for debugging +git-annex in some situations BTW. + +Pushed a release yesterday that was mostly changes from back in March. +It also updated the git bundled with git-annex to fix the recent git-shell +security hole. + +After work on Monday and today, I am caught up with all the recent month's +backlog, but still have 230 old backlogged messages to get to. + +The first consequental thing I got back to was improving ssh password +prompting when git-annex is running concurrently with -J. It used to start +up several ssh's at the same time, so connection caching didn't kick in, +and there could be a bunch of ssh password prompts at the same time. Now +there will never be more than one ssh password prompt at once, and only one +prompt per host. (As long as connection caching is enabled.) + +That mostly works, but `git annex drop -J` exposes a bug in it, which I'll +have to get back to tomorrow. |
