This may become the default at + some point in the future. As well as being configuable by git config, + it can be configured by git-annex config to control the default + behavior in all clones of a repository. + * stack.yaml: Update to lts-7.18. + * Some optimisations to string splitting code. + * unused: When large files are checked right into git, avoid buffering + their contents in memory. + * unused: Improved memory use significantly when there are a lot + of differences between branches. + * Wormhole pairing will start to provide an appid to wormhole on + 2021-12-31. An appid can't be provided now because Debian stable is going + to ship a older version of git-annex that does not provide an appid. + Assumption is that by 2021-12-31, this version of git-annex will be + shipped in a Debian stable release. If that turns out to not be the + case, this change will need to be cherry-picked into the git-annex in + Debian stable, or its wormhole pairing will break. + * Fix build with aws 0.16. Thanks, aristidb. + * assistant: Make --autostart --foreground wait for the children it + starts. Before, the --foreground was ignored when autostarting. + * initremote: When a uuid= parameter is passed, use the specified + UUID for the new special remote, instead of generating a UUID. + This can be useful in some situations, eg when the same data can be + accessed via two different special remote backends. + * import: Changed how --deduplicate, --skip-duplicates, and + --clean-duplicates determine if a file is a duplicate. + Before, only content known to be present somewhere was considered + a duplicate. Now, any content that has been annexed before will be + considered a duplicate, even if all annexed copies of the data have + been lost. + Note that --clean-duplicates and --deduplicate still check + numcopies, so won't delete duplicate files unless there's an annexed + copy. + * import: --deduplicate and --skip-duplicates were implemented + inneficiently; they unncessarily hashed each file twice. They have + been improved to only hash once. + * import: Added --reinject-duplicates. + * Added git template directory to Linux standalone tarball and OSX + app bundle. + * Improve pid locking code to work on filesystems that don't support hard + links. + * S3: Fix check of uuid file stored in bucket, which was not working. + * Work around sqlite's incorrect handling of umask when creating + databases."""]]
