Just entering the wrong XMPP +password in the assistant can trigger this crash. Hopefully John will work +his magic again. + +--- + +Meanwhile, I fixed the sync-after-forget problem. Now sync always forces +its push of the git-annex branch (as does the assistant). I considered but +rejected having sync do the kind of uuid-tagged branch push that the +assistant sometimes falls back to if it's failing to do a normal sync. It's +ugly, but worse, it wouldn't work in the workflow where multiple clients +are syncing to a central bare repository, because they'd not pull down the +hidden uuid-tagged branches, and without the assistant running on the +repository, nothing would ever merge their data into the git-annex branch. +Forcing the push of synced/git-annex was easy, once I satisfied myself +that it was always ok to do so. + +Also factored out a module that knows about all the different log files +stored on the git-annex branch, which is all the support infrastructure +that will be needed to make `git annex forget --drop-dead` work. Since this +is basically a routing module, perhaps I'll get around to making it use +a nice bidirectional routing library like +[Zwaluw](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Zwaluw) one day. -- cgit v1.2.3
