This bug only affected git-annex 5, it +was introduced when building the direct mode guard. Currently recovering +from it is a [manual (pretty easy) process](http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/assistant_creating_.git_directory_inside_bare_repo/#comment-73a8ce8aa100baa7c03861b769fdca29). +Perhas I should automate that, but I mostly wanted to get a fix out +before too many people encountered the bug. + +Today, I made the assistant run batch jobs with ionice and nocache, when +those commands are available. Also, when the assistant transfers files, +that also runs as a batch job. + +Changed how git-annex does commits, avoiding using `git commit` in direct +mode, since in some situations `git commit` (not with `-a`!) wants to +read the contents of files in the work tree, which can be very slow. |
