(However, .gitattributes settings cannot + apply to unused files.) + * Fix inverted logic in last release's fix for data loss bug, + that caused git-annex sync on FAT or other crippled filesystems to add + symlink standin files to the annex. + * importfeed can be used to import files from podcast feeds. + * webapp: When setting up a dedicated ssh key to access the annex + on a host, set IdentitiesOnly to prevent the ssh-agent from forcing + use of a different ssh key. That could result in unncessary password + prompts, or prevent git-annex-shell from being run on the remote host. + * webapp: Improve handling of remotes whose setup has stalled. + * Add status message to XMPP presence tag, to identify to others that + the client is a git-annex client. Closes: #[717652](http://bugs.debian.org/717652) + * webapp: When creating a repository on a removable drive, set + core.fsyncobjectfiles, to help prevent data loss when the drive is yanked. + * Always build with -threaded, to avoid a deadlock when communicating with + gpg. + * unused: No longer shows as unused tmp files that are actively being + transferred. + * assistant: Fix NetWatcher to not sync with remotes that have + remote.<name>.annex-sync set to false. + * assistant: Fix deadlock that could occur when adding a lot of files + at once in indirect mode. + * assistant: Fix bug that caused it to stall when adding a very large + number of files at once (around 5 thousand). + * OSX: Make git-annex-webapp run in the background, so that the app icon + can be clicked on the open a new webapp when the assistant is already + running. + * Improve test suite on Windows; now tests git annex sync. + * Fix a few bugs involving filenames that are at or near the filesystem's + maximum filename length limit. + * find: Avoid polluting stdout with progress messages. Closes: #[718186](http://bugs.debian.org/718186) + * Escape ':' in file/directory names to avoid it being treated + as a pathspec by some git commands. Closes: #[718185](http://bugs.debian.org/718185) + * Slow and ugly work around for bug #718517 in git 1.8.4~rc0, which broke + git-cat-file --batch for filenames containing spaces. + (Will be reverted after next git pre-release fixes the problem.)"""]]
