This could + be used by an attacker who provides a crafted repository url + to cause the victim to execute arbitrary code via -oProxyCommand. + (The same class of security hole recently affected git itself.) + * git-annex.cabal: Deal with breaking changes in Cabal 2.0. + * Fix build with QuickCheck 2.10. + * fsck: Support --json. + * move, copy: Support --batch. + * Added GIT\_ANNEX\_VECTOR\_CLOCK environment variable, which can be used to + override the default timestamps used in log files in the git-annex + branch. This is a dangerous environment variable; use with caution. + * Fix a git-annex test failure when run on NFS due to NFS lock files + preventing directory removal. + * test: Avoid most situations involving failure to delete test + directories, by forking a worker process and only deleting the test + directory once it exits. + * Disable http-client's default 30 second response timeout when HEADing + an url to check if it exists. Some web servers take quite a long time + to answer a HEAD request. + * Added remote configuration settings annex-ignore-command and + annex-sync-command, which are dynamic equivilants of the annex-ignore + and annex-sync configurations. + * Prevent spaces from being embedded in the name of new WORM keys, + as that handing spaces in keys would complicate things like the + external special remote protocol. + * migrate: WORM keys containing spaces will be migrated to not contain + spaces anymore. + * External special remotes will refuse to operate on keys with spaces in + their names. That has never worked correctly due to the design of the + external special remote protocol. Display an error message suggesting + migration. + * Fix incorrect external special remote documentation, which said that + the filename parameter to the TRANSFER command could not contain + spaces. It can in fact contain spaces. Special remotes implementors + that relied on that may need to fix bugs in their special remotes. + * Fix the external special remotes git-annex-remote-ipfs, + git-annex-remote-torrent and the example.sh template to correctly + support filenames with spaces. + * Windows: Win32 package has subsumed Win32-extras; update dependency."""]]
