git-annex (4.20130516) unstable; urgency=low

  * Android: The webapp is ported and working.
  * Windows: There is a very rough Windows port. Do not trust it with
    important data.
  * git-annex-shell: Ensure that received files can be read. Files
    transferred from some Android devices may have very broken permissions
    as received.
  * direct mode: Direct mode commands now work on files staged in the index,
    they do not need to be committed to git.
  * Temporarily add an upper bound to the version of yesod that can be built
    with, since yesod 1.2 has a great many changes that will require extensive
    work on the webapp.
  * Disable building with the haskell threaded runtime when the assistant
    is not built. This may fix builds on s390x and sparc, which are failing
    to link -lHSrts_thr
  * Avoid depending on regex-tdfa on mips, mipsel, and s390, where it fails
    to build.
  * direct: Fix a bug that could cause some files to be left in indirect mode.
  * When initializing a directory special remote with a relative path,
    the path is made absolute.
  * SHA: Add a runtime sanity check that sha commands output something
    that appears to be a real sha.
  * configure: Better checking that sha commands output in the desired format.
  * rsync special remotes: When sending from a crippled filesystem, use
    the destination's default file permissions, as the local ones can
    be arbitrarily broken. (Ie, ----rwxr-x for files on Android)
  * migrate: Detect if a file gets corrupted while it's being migrated.
  * Debian: Add a menu file.

git-annex (4.20130501) unstable; urgency=low

  * sync, assistant: Behavior changes: Sync with remotes that have
    annex-ignore set, so that git remotes on servers without git-annex
    installed can be used to keep clients' git repos in sync.
  * assistant: Work around misfeature in git 1.8.2 that makes
    `git commit --alow-empty -m ""` run an editor.
  * sync: Bug fix, avoid adding to the annex the 
    dummy symlinks used on crippled filesystems.
  * Add public repository group.
    (And inpreferreddir to preferred content expressions.)
  * webapp: Can now set up Internet Archive repositories.
  * S3: Dropping content from the Internet Archive doesn't work, but
    their API indicates it does. Always refuse to drop from there.
  * Automatically register public urls for files uploaded to the
    Internet Archive.
  * To enable an existing special remote, the new enableremote command
    must be used. The initremote command now is used only to create
    new special remotes.
  * initremote: If two existing remotes have the same name,
    prefer the one with a higher trust level.
  * assistant: Improved XMPP protocol to better support multiple repositories
    using the same XMPP account. Fixes bad behavior when sharing with a friend
    when you or the friend have multiple reposotories on an XMPP account.
    Note that XMPP pairing with your own devices still pairs with all
    repositories using your XMPP account.
  * assistant: Fix bug that could cause incoming pushes to not get
    merged into the local tree. Particularly affected XMPP pushes.
  * webapp: Display some additional information about a repository on
    its edit page.
  * webapp: Install FDO desktop menu file when started in standalone mode.
  * webapp: Don't default to making repository in cwd when started
    from within a directory containing a git-annex file (eg, standalone
    tarball directory).
  * Detect systems that have no user name set in GECOS, and also
    don't have user.name set in git config, and put in a workaround
    so that commits to the git-annex branch (and the assistant)
    will still succeed despite git not liking the system configuration.
  * webapp: When told to add a git repository on a remote server, and
    the repository already exists as a non-bare repository, use it,
    rather than initializing a bare repository in the same directory.
  * direct, indirect: Refuse to do anything when the assistant
    or git-annex watch daemon is running.
  * assistant: When built with git before 1.8.0, use `git remote rm`
    to delete a remote. Newer git uses `git remote remove`.
  * rmurl: New command, removes one of the recorded urls for a file.
  * Detect when the remote is broken like bitbucket is, and exits 0 when
    it fails to run git-annex-shell.
  * assistant: Several improvements to performance and behavior when
    performing bulk adds of a large number of files (tens to hundreds
    of thousands).
  * assistant: Sanitize XMPP presence information logged for debugging.
  * webapp: Now automatically fills in any creds used by an existing remote
    when creating a new remote of the same type. Done for Internet Archive,
    S3, Glacier, and Box.com remotes.
  * Store an annex-uuid file in the bucket when setting up a new S3 remote.
  * Support building with DAV 0.4.

git-annex (4.20130417) unstable; urgency=low

  * initremote: Generates encryption keys with high quality entropy.
    This can be disabled using --fast to get the old behavior.
    The assistant still uses low-quality entropy when creating encrypted
    remotes, to avoid delays. (Thanks, guilhem for the patch.)
  * Bugfix: Direct mode no longer repeatedly checksums duplicated files.
  * assistant: Work around horrible, terrible, very bad behavior of
    gnome-keyring, by not storing special-purpose ssh keys in ~/.ssh/*.pub.
    Apparently gnome-keyring apparently will load and indiscriminately use
    such keys in some cases, even if they are not using any of the standard
    ssh key names. Instead store the keys in ~/.ssh/annex/,
    which gnome-keyring will not check.
  * addurl: Bugfix: Did not properly add file in direct mode.
  * assistant: Bug fix to avoid annexing the files that git uses
    to stand in for symlinks on FAT and other filesystem not supporting
    symlinks.
  * Adjust preferred content expressions so that content in archive
    directories is preferred until it has reached an archive or smallarchive
    repository.
  * webapp: New --listen= option allows running the webapp on one computer
    and connecting to it from another. (Note: Does not yet use HTTPS.)
  * Added annex.web-download-command setting.
  * Added per-remote annex-rsync-transport option. (guilhem again)
  * Ssh connection caching is now also used by rsync special remotes.
    (guilhem yet again)
  * The version number is now derived from git, unless built with
    VERSION_FROM_CHANGELOG.
  * assistant: Stop any transfers the assistant initiated on shutdown.
  * assistant: Added sequence numbers to XMPP git push packets. (Not yet used.)
  * addurl: Register transfer so the webapp can see it.
  * addurl: Automatically retry downloads that fail, as long as some
    additional content was downloaded.
  * webapp: Much improved progress bar display for downloads from encrypted
    remotes.
  * Avoid using runghc, as that needs ghci.
  * webapp: When a repository's group is changed, rescan for transfers.
  * webapp: Added animations.
  * webapp: Include the repository directory in the mangled hostname and
    ssh key name, so that a locked down ssh key for one repository is not
    re-used when setting up additional repositories on the same server.
  * Fall back to internal url downloader when built without curl.
  * fsck: Check content of direct mode files (only when the inode cache
    thinks they are unmodified).

    `git annex add` and the assistant add to the annex.
  * assistant: Check small files into git directly.
  * Remotes can be configured to use other MAC algorithms than HMACSHA1
    to encrypt filenames.
    Thanks, guilhem for the patch.
  * git-annex-shell: Passes rsync --bwlimit options on rsync.
    Thanks, guilhem for the patch.
  * webapp: Added UI to delete repositories. Closes: #689847
  * Adjust built-in preferred content expressions to make most types
    of repositories want content that is only located on untrusted, dead,
    and unwanted repositories.
  * drop --auto: Fix bug that prevented dropping files from untrusted
    repositories.
  * assistant: Fix bug that could cause direct mode files to be unstaged
    from git.
  * Update working tree files fully atomically.
  * webapp: Improved transfer queue management.
  * init: Probe whether the filesystem supports fifos, and if not,
    disable ssh connection caching.
  * Use lower case hash directories for storing files on crippled filesystems,
    same as is already done for bare repositories.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:42:18 -0400

git-annex (4.20130323) unstable; urgency=low

  * webapp: Repository list is now included in the dashboard, and other
    UI tweaks.
  * webapp: Improved UI for pairing your own devices together using XMPP.
  * webapp: Display an alert when there are XMPP remotes, and a cloud
    transfer repository needs to be configured.
  * Add incrementalbackup repository group.
  * webapp: Encourage user to install git-annex on a server when adding
    a ssh server, rather than just funneling them through to rsync.
  * xmpp: --debug now enables a sanitized dump of the XMPP protocol
  * xmpp: Try harder to detect presence of clients when there's a git push
    to send.
  * xmpp: Re-enable XA flag, since disabling it did not turn out to help
    with the problems Google Talk has with not always sending presence
    messages to clients.
  * map: Combine duplicate repositories, for a nicer looking map.
  * Fix several bugs caused by a bad Ord instance for Remote.
  * webapp: Switch all forms to POST.
  * assistant: Avoid syncing with annex-ignored remotes when reconnecting
    to the network, or connecting a drive.
  * assistant: Fix OSX bug that prevented committing changed files to a
    repository when in indirect mode.
  * webapp: Improved alerts displayed when syncing with remotes, and 
    when syncing with a remote fails.
  * webapp: Force wrap long filenames in transfer display.
  * assistant: The ConfigMonitor left one zombie behind each time
    it checked for changes, now fixed.
  * get, copy, move: Display an error message when an identical transfer
    is already in progress, rather than failing with no indication why.
  * assistant: Several optimisations to file transfers.
  * OSX app and standalone Linux tarball now both support being added to
    PATH; no need to use runshell to start git-annex.
  * webapp: When adding a removable drive, you can now specify the
    directory inside it to use.
  * webapp: Confirm whether user wants to combine repositories when
    adding a removable drive that already has a repository on it.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:54:05 -0400

git-annex (4.20130314) unstable; urgency=low

  * Bugfix: git annex add, when ran without any file or directory specified,
    should add files in the current directory, but not act on unlocked files
    elsewhere in the tree.
  * Bugfix: drop --from an unavailable remote no longer updates the location
    log, incorrectly, to say the remote does not have the key.
  * Bugfix: If the UUID of a remote is not known, prevent --from, --to,
    and other ways of specifying remotes by name from selecting it,
    since it is not possible to sanely use it.
  * Bugfix: Fix bug in inode cache sentinal check, which broke
    copying to local repos if the repo being copied from had moved
    to a different filesystem or otherwise changed all its inodes

  * Switch from using regex-compat to regex-tdfa, as the C regex library
    is rather buggy.
  * status: Can now be run with a directory path to show only the
    status of that directory, rather than the whole annex.
  * Added remote.<name>.annex-gnupg-options setting.
    Thanks, guilhem for the patch.
  * addurl: Add --relaxed option.
  * addurl: Escape invalid characters in urls, rather than failing to
    use an invalid url.
  * addurl: Properly handle url-escaped characters in file:// urls.

  * assistant: Fix dropping content when a file is moved to an archive
    directory, and getting contennt when a file is moved back out.
  * assistant: Fix bug in direct mode that could occur when a symlink is
    moved out of an archive directory, and resulted in the file not being
    set to direct mode when it was transferred.
  * assistant: Generate better commits for renames.
  * assistant: Logs are rotated to avoid them using too much disk space.
  * assistant: Avoid noise in logs from git commit about typechanged
    files in direct mode repositories.
  * assistant: Set gc.auto=0 when creating repositories to prevent
    automatic commits from causing git-gc runs.
  * assistant: If gc.auto=0, run git-gc once a day, packing loose objects
    very non-aggressively.
  * assistant: XMPP git pull and push requests are cached and sent when
    presence of a new client is detected.
  * assistant: Sync with all git remotes on startup.
  * assistant: Get back in sync with XMPP remotes after network reconnection,
    and on startup.
  * assistant: Fix syncing after XMPP pairing.
  * assistant: Optimised handling of renamed files in direct mode,
    avoiding re-checksumming.
  * assistant: Detects most renames, including directory renames, and
    combines all their changes into a single commit.
  * assistant: Fix ~/.ssh/git-annex-shell wrapper to work when the
    ssh key does not force a command.
  * assistant: Be smarter about avoiding unncessary transfers.

  * webapp: Work around bug in Warp's slowloris attack prevention code,
    that caused regular browsers to stall when they reuse a connection
    after leaving it idle for 30 seconds.
    (See https://github.com/yesodweb/wai/issues/146)
  * webapp: New preferences page allows enabling/disabling debug logging
    at runtime, as well as configuring numcopies and diskreserve.
  * webapp: Repository costs can be configured by dragging repositories around
    in the repository list.
  * webapp: Proceed automatically on from "Configure jabber account"
    to pairing.
  * webapp: Only show up to 10 queued transfers.
  * webapp: DTRT when told to create a git repo that already exists.
  * webapp: Set locally paired repositories to a lower cost than other
    network remotes.

  * Run ssh with -T to avoid tty allocation and any login scripts that
    may do undesired things with it.
  * Several improvements to Makefile and cabal file. Thanks, Peter Simmons
  * Stop depending on testpack.
  * Android: Enable test suite.

git-annex (4.20130227) unstable; urgency=low

  * annex.version is now set to 4 for direct mode repositories.
  * Should now fully support git repositories with core.symlinks=false;
    always using git's pseudosymlink files in such repositories.
  * webapp: Allow creating repositories on filesystems that lack support for
    symlinks.
  * webapp: Can now add a new local repository, and make it sync with
    the main local repository.
  * Android: Bundle now includes openssh.
  * Android: Support ssh connection caching.
  * Android: Assistant is fully working. (But no webapp yet.)
  * Direct mode: Support filesystems like FAT which can change their inodes
    each time they are mounted.
  * Direct mode: Fix support for adding a modified file.
  * Avoid passing -p to rsync, to interoperate with crippled filesystems.
    Closes: #700282
  * Additional GIT_DIR support bugfixes. May actually work now.
  * webapp: Display any error message from git init if it fails to create
    a repository.
  * Fix a reversion in matching globs introduced in the last release,
    where "*" did not match files inside subdirectories. No longer uses
    the Glob library.
  * copy: Update location log when no copy was performed, if the location
    log was out of date.
  * Makefile now builds using cabal, taking advantage of cabal's automatic
    detection of appropriate build flags.
  * test: The test suite is now built into the git-annex binary, and can
    be run at any time.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 27 Feb 2013 14:07:24 -0400

git-annex (3.20130216) unstable; urgency=low

  * Now uses the Haskell uuid library, rather than needing a uuid program.
  * Now uses the Haskell Glob library, rather than pcre-light, avoiding
    the need to install libpcre. Currently done only for Cabal or when
    the Makefile is made to use -DWITH_GLOB
  * Android port now available (command-line only).
  * New annex.crippledfilesystem setting, allows use of git-annex
    repositories on FAT and even worse filesystems; avoiding use of
    hard links and locked down permissions settings. (Support is incomplete.)
  * init: Detect when the repository is on a filesystem that does not
    support hard links, or symlinks, or unix permissions, and set
    annex.crippledfilesystem, as well as annex.direct.
  * add: Improved detection of files that are modified while being added.
  * Fix a bug in direct mode, introduced in the previous release, where
    if a file was dropped and then got back, it would be stored in indirect
    mode.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 16 Feb 2013 10:03:26 -0400

git-annex (3.20130207) unstable; urgency=low

  * webapp: Now allows restarting any threads that crash.
  * Adjust debian package to only build-depend on DAV on architectures
    where it is available.
  * addurl --fast: Use curl, rather than haskell HTTP library, to support https.
  * annex.autocommit: New setting, can be used to disable autocommit
    of changed files by the assistant, while it still does data syncing
    and other tasks.
  * assistant: Ignore .DS_Store on OSX.
  * assistant: Fix location log when adding new file in direct mode.
  * Deal with stale mappings for deleted file in direct mode.
  * pre-commit: Update direct mode mappings. 
  * uninit, unannex --fast: If hard link creation fails, fall back to slow
    mode.
  * Clean up direct mode cache and mapping info when dropping keys.
  * dropunused: Clean up stale direct mode cache and mapping info not
    removed before.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 07 Feb 2013 12:45:25 -0400

git-annex (3.20130124) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added source repository group, that only retains files until they've
    been transferred to another repository. Useful for things like
    repositories on cameras.
  * Added manual repository group. Use to prevent the assistant from
    downloading any file contents to keep things in sync. Instead
    `git annex get`, `git annex drop` etc can be used manually as desired.
  * webapp: More adjustments to longpoll code to deal with changes in
    variable quoting in different versions of shakespeare-js.
  * webapp: Avoid an error if a transfer is stopped just as it finishes.
    Closes: #698184 
  * webapp: Now always logs to .git/annex/daemon.log
  * webapp: Has a page to view the log, accessed from the control menu.
  * webapp: Fix crash adding removable drive that has an annex directory
    in it that is not a git repository.
  * Deal with incompatability in gpg2, which caused prompts for encryption
    passphrases rather than using the supplied --passphrase-fd.
  * bugfix: Union merges involving two or more repositories could sometimes
    result in data from one repository getting lost. This could result
    in the location log data becoming wrong, and fsck being needed to fix it.
  * sync: Automatic merge conflict resolution now stages deleted files.
  * Depend on git 1.7.7.6 for --no-edit. Closes: #698399
  * Fix direct mode mapping code to always store direct mode filenames
    relative to the top of the repository, even when operating inside a
    subdirectory.
  * fsck: Detect and fix consistency errors in direct mode mapping files.
  * Avoid filename encoding errors when writing direct mode mappings.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 22 Jan 2013 07:11:59 +1100

git-annex (3.20130114) unstable; urgency=low

  * Now handles the case where a file that's being transferred to a remote
    is modified in place, which direct mode allows. When this
    happens, the transfer now fails, rather than allow possibly corrupt
    data into the remote.
  * fsck: Better checking of file content in direct mode.
  * drop: Suggest using git annex move when numcopies prevents dropping a file.
  * webapp: Repo switcher filters out repos that do not exist any more
    (or are on a drive that's not mounted).
  * webapp: Use IP address, rather than localhost, since some systems may
    have configuration problems or other issues that prevent web browsers
    from connecting to the right localhost IP for the webapp.
  * webapp: Adjust longpoll code to work with recent versions of
    shakespeare-js.
  * assistant: Support new gvfs dbus names used in Gnome 3.6.
  * In direct mode, files with the same key are no longer hardlinked, as
    that would cause a surprising behavior if modifying one, where the other
    would also change.
  * webapp: Avoid illegal characters in hostname when creating S3 or
    Glacier remote.
  * assistant: Avoid committer crashing if a file is deleted at the wrong
    instant.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:25:18 -0400

git-annex (3.20130107) unstable; urgency=low

  * webapp: Add UI to stop and restart assistant.
  * committer: Fix a file handle leak.
  * assistant: Make expensive transfer scan work fully in direct mode.
  * More commands work in direct mode repositories: find, whereis, move, copy,
    drop, log, fsck, add, addurl.
  * sync: No longer automatically adds files in direct mode.
  * assistant: Detect when system is not configured with a user name,
    and set environment to prevent git from failing.
  * direct: Avoid hardlinking symlinks that point to the same content
    when the content is not present.
  * Fix transferring files to special remotes in direct mode.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 07 Jan 2013 01:01:41 -0400

git-annex (3.20130102) unstable; urgency=low

  * direct, indirect: New commands, that switch a repository to and from
    direct mode. In direct mode, files are accessed directly, rather than
    via symlinks. Note that direct mode is currently experimental. Many
    git-annex commands do not work in direct mode. Some git commands can
    cause data loss when used in direct mode repositories.
  * assistant: Now uses direct mode by default when setting up a new
    local repository.
  * OSX assistant: Uses the FSEvents API to detect file changes.
    This avoids issues with running out of file descriptors on large trees,
    as well as allowing detection of modification of files in direct mode.
    Other BSD systems still use kqueue.
  * kqueue: Fix bug that made broken symlinks not be noticed.
  * vicfg: Quote filename. Closes: #696193
  * Bugfix: Fixed bug parsing transfer info files, where the newline after
    the filename was included in it. This was generally benign, but in
    the assistant, it caused unexpected dropping of preferred content.
  * Bugfix: Remove leading \ from checksums output by sha*sum commands,
    when the filename contains \ or a newline. Closes: #696384
  * fsck: Still accept checksums with a leading \ as valid, now that
    above bug is fixed.
  * SHA*E backends: Exclude non-alphanumeric characters from extensions.
  * migrate: Remove leading \ in SHA* checksums, and non-alphanumerics
    from extensions of SHA*E keys.

git-annex (3.20121211) unstable; urgency=low

  * webapp: Defaults to sharing box.com account info with friends, allowing
    one-click enabling of the repository.
  * Fix broken .config/git-annex/program installed by standalone tarball.
  * assistant: Retrival from glacier now handled.
  * Include ssh in standalone tarball and OSX app.
  * watch: Avoid leaving hard links to files behind in .git/annex/tmp
    if a file is deleted or moved while it's being quarantined in preparation
    to being added to the annex.
  * Allow `git annex drop --from web`; of course this does not remove
    any file from the web, but it does make git-annex remove all urls
    associated with a file.
  * webapp: S3 and Glacier forms now have a select list of all
    currently-supported AWS regions.
  * webdav: Avoid trying to set props, avoiding incompatability with
    livedrive.com. Needs DAV version 0.3.
  * webapp: Prettify error display.
  * webapp: Fix bad interaction between required fields and modals.
  * webapp: Added help buttons and links next to fields that require
    explanations.
  * webapp: Encryption can be disabled when setting up remotes.
  * assistant: Avoid trying to drop content from remotes that don't have it.
  * assistant: Allow periods in ssh key comments.
  * get/copy --auto: Transfer data even if it would exceed numcopies,
    when preferred content settings want it.
  * drop --auto: Fix dropping content when there are no preferred content
    settings.
  * webapp: Allow user to specify the port when setting up a ssh or rsync
    remote.
  * assistant: Fix syncing to just created ssh remotes.
  * Enable WebDAV support in Debian package. Closes: #695532

git-annex (3.20121127) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix dirContentsRecursive, which had missed some files in deeply nested
    subdirectories. Could affect various parts of git-annex.
  * rsync: Fix bug introduced in last release that broke encrypted rsync
    special remotes.
  * The standalone builds now unset their special path and library path
    variables before running the system web browser.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:07:32 -0400

git-annex (3.20121126) unstable; urgency=low

  * New webdav and Amazon glacier special remotes.
  * Display a warning when a non-existing file or directory is specified.
  * webapp: Added configurator for Box.com.
  * webapp: Show error messages to user when testing XMPP creds.
  * Fix build of assistant without yesod.
  * webapp: The list of repositiories refreshes when new repositories are
    added, including when new repository configurations are pushed in from
    remotes.
  * OSX: Fix RunAtLoad value in plist file.
  * Getting a file from chunked directory special remotes no longer buffers
    it all in memory.
  * S3: Added progress display for uploading and downloading.
  * directory special remote: Made more efficient and robust.
  * Bugfix: directory special remote could loop forever storing a key 
    when a too small chunksize was configured.
  * Allow controlling whether login credentials for S3 and webdav are

  * git-annex-shell: GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_DIRECTORY can be set to limit it
    to operating on a specified directory.
  * webapp: When setting up authorized_keys, use GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_DIRECTORY.
  * Preferred content path matching bugfix.
  * Preferred content expressions cannot use "in=".
  * Preferred content expressions can use "present".
  * Fix handling of GIT_DIR when it refers to a git submodule.

  * bugfix: Don't fail transferring content from read-only repos.
    Closes: #691341

  * vicfg: New file format, avoids ambiguity with repos that have the same

  * Bug fix: A recent change caused git-annex-shell to crash.
  * Better preferred content expression for transfer repos.
  * webapp: Repository edit form can now edit the name of a repository.
  * webapp: Make bare repositories on removable drives, as there is nothing
    to ensure non-bare repos get updated when syncing.
  * webapp: Better behavior when pausing syncing to a remote when a transfer
    scan is running and queueing new transfers for that remote.
  * The standalone binaries are now built to not use ssh connection caching,
    in order to work with old versions of ssh.
  * A relative core.worktree is relative to the gitdir. Now that this is
    handled correctly, git-annex can be used in git submodules.
  * Temporarily disable use of dbus, as the haskell dbus library blows up
    when losing connection, which will need to be fixed upstream.

    clients, drives, servers
  * vicfg: New command, allows editing (or simply viewing) most
    of the repository configuration settings stored in the git-annex branch.
  * Added preferred content expressions, configurable using vicfg.

    preferred content configured, drop only content that is not preferred.
  * copy --auto: Only transfer content that the destination repository prefers.
  * assistant: Now honors preferred content settings when deciding what to
    transfer.

  * New --time-limit option, makes long git-annex commands stop after
    a specified amount of time.
  * fsck: New --incremental-schedule option which is nice for scheduling
    eg, monthly incremental fsck runs in cron jobs.
  * Fix fallback to ~/Desktop when xdg-user-dir is not available.
    Closes: #688833
  * S3: When using a shared cipher, S3 credentials are not stored encrypted
    in the git repository, as that would allow anyone with access to
    the repository access to the S3 account. Instead, they're stored
    in a 600 mode file in the local git repo.
  * webapp: Avoid crashing when ssh-keygen -F chokes on an invalid known_hosts
    file.
  * Always do a system wide installation when DESTDIR is set. Closes: #689052
  * The Makefile now builds with the new yesod by default.
    Systems like Debian that have the old yesod 1.0.1 should set
    GIT_ANNEX_LOCAL_FEATURES=-DWITH_OLD_YESOD
  * copy: Avoid updating the location log when no copy is performed.
  * configure: Test that uuid -m works, falling back to plain uuid if not.
  * Avoid building the webapp on Debian architectures that do not yet
    have template haskell and thus yesod. (Should be available for arm soonish

  * assistant: New command, a daemon which does everything watch does,
    as well as automatically syncing file contents between repositories.
  * webapp: An interface for managing and configuring the assistant.
  * The default backend used when adding files to the annex is changed
    from SHA256 to SHA256E, to simplify interoperability with OSX, media
    players, and various programs that needlessly look at symlink targets.
    To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=SHA256
  * init: If no description is provided for a new repository, one will
    automatically be generated, like "joey@gnu:~/foo"
  * test: Set a lot of git environment variables so testing works in strange
    environments that normally need git config to set names, etc.
    Closes: #682351 Thanks, gregor herrmann
  * Disable ssh connection caching if the path to the control socket would be
    too long (and use relative path to minimise path to the control socket).
  * migrate: Check content before generating the new key, to avoid generating
    a key for corrupt data.
  * Support repositories created with --separate-git-dir. Closes: #684405
  * reinject: When the provided file doesn't match, leave it where it is,
    rather than moving to .git/annex/bad/
  * Avoid crashing on encoding errors in filenames when writing transfer info
    files and reading from checksum commands.
  * sync: Pushes the git-annex branch to remote/synced/git-annex, rather
    than directly to remote/git-annex.
  * Now supports matching files that are present on a number of remotes
    with a specified trust level. Example: --copies=trusted:2

    but avoids portability problems.
  * Use SHA library for files less than 50 kb in size, at which point it's
    faster than forking the more optimised external program.
  * SHAnE backends are now smarter about composite extensions, such as

  * dropunused: Allow specifying ranges to drop.
  * addunused: New command, the opposite of dropunused, it relinks unused
    content into the git repository.
  * Fix use of several config settings: annex.ssh-options,
    annex.rsync-options, annex.bup-split-options. (And adjust types to avoid
    the bugs that broke several config settings.)

  * sync: Sync to lower cost remotes first.
  * status: Fixed to run in constant space.
  * status: More accurate display of sizes of tmp and bad keys.
  * unused: Now uses a bloom filter, and runs in constant space.
    Use of a bloom filter does mean it will not notice a small
    number of unused keys. For repos with up to half a million keys,
    it will miss one key in 1000.
  * Added annex.bloomcapacity and annex.bloomaccuracy, which can be
    adjusted as desired to tune the bloom filter.
  * status: Display amount of memory used by bloom filter, and
    detect when it's too small for the number of keys in a repository.
  * git-annex-shell: Runs hooks/annex-content after content is received
    or dropped.
  * Work around a bug in rsync (IMHO) introduced by openSUSE's SIP patch.
  * git-annex now behaves as git-annex-shell if symlinked to and run by that

  * Modifications to support ghc 7.4's handling of filenames.
    This version can only be built with ghc 7.4 or newer. See the ghc7.0
    branch for older ghcs.
  * S3: Fix irrefutable pattern failure when accessing encrypted S3
    credentials.
  * Use the haskell IfElse library.
  * Fix teardown of stale cached ssh connections.
  * Fixed to use the strict state monad, to avoid leaking all kinds of memory
    due to lazy state update thunks when adding/fixing many files.
  * Fixed some memory leaks that occurred when committing journal files.
  * Added a annex.queuesize setting, useful when adding hundreds of thousands
    of files on a system with plenty of memory.
  * whereis: Prints the urls of files that the web special remote knows about.
  * addurl --fast: Verifies that the url can be downloaded (only getting
    its head), and records the size in the key.
  * When checking that an url has a key, verify that the Content-Length,
    if available, matches the size of the key.
  * addurl: Added a --file option, which can be used to specify what
    file the url is added to. This can be used to override the default
    filename that is used when adding an url, which is based on the url.
    Or, when the file already exists, the url is recorded as another
    location of the file.
  * addurl: Normalize badly encoded urls.
  * addurl: Add --pathdepth option.
  * rekey: New plumbing level command, can be used to change the keys used
    for files en masse.
  * Store web special remote url info in a more efficient location.
    (Urls stored with this version will not be visible to older versions.)
  * Deal with NFS problem that caused a failure to remove a directory
    when removing content from the annex.
  * Make a single location log commit after a remote has received or
    dropped files. Uses a new "git-annex-shell commit" command when available.
  * To avoid commits of data to the git-annex branch after each command
    is run, set annex.alwayscommit=false. Its data will then be committed
    less frequently, when a merge or sync is done.
  * configure: Check if ssh connection caching is supported by the installed
    version of ssh and default annex.sshcaching accordingly.
  * move --from, copy --from: Now 10 times faster when scanning to find
    files in a remote on a local disk; rather than go through the location log
    to see which files are present on the remote, it simply looks at the 
    disk contents directly.

  * fsck --from: Fscking a remote is now supported. It's done by retrieving
    the contents of the specified files from the remote, and checking them,
    so can be an expensive operation. Still, if the remote is a special
    remote, or a git repository that you cannot run fsck in locally, it's
    nice to have the ability to fsck it.
  * If you have any directory special remotes, now would be a good time to
    fsck them, in case you were hit by the data loss bug fixed in the
    previous release!
  * fsck --from remote --fast: Avoids expensive file transfers, at the
    expense of not checking file size and/or contents.
  * Ssh connection caching is now enabled automatically by git-annex.
    Only one ssh connection is made to each host per git-annex run, which
    can speed some things up a lot, as well as avoiding repeated password
    prompts. Concurrent git-annex processes also share ssh connections.
    Cached ssh connections are shut down when git-annex exits.
  * To disable the ssh caching (if for example you have your own broader
    ssh caching configuration), set annex.sshcaching=false.

git-annex (3.20120105) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added annex-web-options configuration settings, which can be
    used to provide parameters to whichever of wget or curl git-annex uses
    (depends on which is available, but most of their important options
    suitable for use here are the same).
  * Dotfiles, and files inside dotdirs are not added by "git annex add"
    unless the dotfile or directory is explicitly listed. So "git annex add ."
    will add all untracked files in the current directory except for those in
    dotdirs.
  * Added quickcheck to build dependencies, and fail if test suite cannot be
    built.
  * fsck: Do backend-specific check before checking numcopies is satisfied.
  * Run gpg with --no-tty. Closes: #654721

git-annex (3.20111231) unstable; urgency=low

  * sync: Improved to work well without a central bare repository.
    Thanks to Joachim Breitner.
  * Rather than manually committing, pushing, pulling, merging, and git annex
    merging, we encourage you to give "git annex sync" a try.
  * sync --fast: Selects some of the remotes with the lowest annex.cost
    and syncs those, in addition to any specified at the command line.
  * Union merge now finds the least expensive way to represent the merge.
  * reinject: Add a sanity check for using an annexed file as the source file.
  * Properly handle multiline git config values.
  * Fix the hook special remote, which bitrotted a while ago.
  * map: --fast disables use of dot to display map
  * Test suite improvements. Current top-level test coverage: 75%
  * Improve deletion of files from rsync special remotes. Closes: #652849
  * Add --include, which is the same as --not --exclude.
  * Format strings can be specified using the new --format option, to control
    what is output by git annex find.
  * Support git annex find --json
  * Fixed behavior when multiple insteadOf configs are provided for the
    same url base.
  * Can now be built with older git versions (before 1.7.7); the resulting
    binary should only be used with old git.
  * Updated to build with monad-control 0.3.

git-annex (3.20111211) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix bug in last version in getting contents from bare repositories.
  * Ensure that git-annex branch changes are merged into git-annex's index,
    which fixes a bug that could cause changes that were pushed to the
    git-annex branch to get reverted. As a side effect, it's now safe
    for users to check out and commit changes directly to the git-annex
    branch.
  * map: Fix a failure to detect a loop when both repositories are local
    and refer to each other with relative paths.
  * Prevent key names from containing newlines.
  * add: If interrupted, add can leave files converted to symlinks but not
    yet added to git. Running the add again will now clean up this situtation.
  * Fix caching of decrypted ciphers, which failed when drop had to check
    multiple different encrypted special remotes.
  * unannex: Can be run on files that have been added to the annex, but not
    yet committed.
  * sync: New command that synchronises the local repository and default
    remote, by running git commit, pull, and push for you.
  * Version monad-control dependency in cabal file.

git-annex (3.20111203) unstable; urgency=low

  * The VFAT filesystem on recent versions of Linux, when mounted with
    shortname=mixed, does not get along well with git-annex's mixed case
    .git/annex/objects hash directories. To avoid this problem, new content
    is now stored in all-lowercase hash directories. Except for non-bare
    repositories which would be a pain to transition and cannot be put on FAT.
    (Old mixed-case hash directories are still tried for backwards
    compatibility.)
  * Flush json output, avoiding a buffering problem that could result in
    doubled output.
  * Avoid needing haskell98 and other fixes for new ghc. Thanks, Mark Wright.
  * Bugfix: dropunused did not drop keys with two spaces in their name.
  * Support for storing .git/annex on a different device than the rest of the
    git repository.
  * --inbackend can be used to make git-annex only operate on files
    whose content is stored using a specified key-value backend.
  * dead: A command which says that a repository is gone for good
    and you don't want git-annex to mention it again.

  * merge: Improve commit messages to mention what was merged.
  * Avoid doing auto-merging in commands that don't need fully current
    information from the git-annex branch. In particular, git annex add
    no longer needs to auto-merge.
  * init: When run in an already initalized repository, and without
    a description specified, don't delete the old description. 
  * Optimised union merging; now only runs git cat-file once, and runs
    in constant space.
  * status: Now displays trusted, untrusted, and semitrusted repositories
    separately.
  * status: Include all special remotes in the list of repositories.
  * status: Fix --json mode.
  * status: --fast is back
  * Fix support for insteadOf url remapping. Closes: #644278
  * When not run in a git repository, git-annex can still display a usage
    message, and "git annex version" even works.
  * migrate: Don't fall over a stale temp file.
  * Avoid excessive escaping for rsync special remotes that are not accessed
    over ssh.
  * find: Support --print0

  * Optimized copy --from and get --from to avoid checking the location log
    for files that are already present.
  * Automatically fix up badly formatted uuid.log entries produced by

    Thanks Valentin Haenel for a test case showing how non-fast-forward
    merges could result in an ongoing pull/merge/push cycle.
  * Don't try to read config from repos with annex-ignore set.
  * Bugfix: In the past two releases, git-annex init has written the uuid.log
    in the wrong format, with the UUID and description flipped.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:47:44 -0400

git-annex (3.20111105) unstable; urgency=low

  * The default backend used when adding files to the annex is changed
    from WORM to SHA256.
    To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=WORM
  * Sped up some operations on remotes that are on the same host.
  * copy --to: Fixed leak when copying many files to a remote on the same
    host.
  * uninit: Add guard against being run with the git-annex branch checked out.
  * Fail if --from or --to is passed to commands that do not support them.
  * drop --from is now supported to remove file content from a remote.
  * status: Now always shows the current repository, even when it does not
    appear in uuid.log.
  * fsck: Now works in bare repositories. Checks location log information,
    and file contents. Does not check that numcopies is satisfied, as
    .gitattributes information about numcopies is not available in a bare
    repository.
  * unused, dropunused: Now work in bare repositories.
  * Removed the setkey command, and added a reinject command with a more
    useful interface.
  * The fromkey command now takes the key as its first parameter. The --key
    option is no longer used.
  * Built without any filename containing .git being excluded. Closes: #647215
  * Record uuid when auto-initializing a remote so it shows in status.
  * Bugfix: Fixed git-annex init crash in a bare repository when there was
    already an existing git-annex branch.
  * Pass -t to rsync to preserve timestamps.

  * A remote can have a annexUrl configured, that is used by git-annex
    instead of its usual url. (Similar to pushUrl.)
  * migrate: Copy url logs for keys when migrating.
  * git-annex-shell: GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_READONLY and GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_LIMITED
    environment variables can be set to limit what commands can be run.
    This is used by gitolite's new git-annex support!

git-annex (3.20111011) unstable; urgency=low

  * This version of git-annex only works with git 1.7.7 and newer.
    The breakage with old versions is subtle, and affects the
    annex.numcopies settings in .gitattributes, so be sure to upgrade git
    to 1.7.7. (Debian package now depends on that version.)
  * Don't pass absolute paths to git show-attr, as it started following
    symlinks when that's done in 1.7.7. Instead, use relative paths,
    which show-attr only handles 100% correctly in 1.7.7. Closes: #645046
  * Fix referring to remotes by uuid.
  * New or changed repository descriptions in uuid.log now have a timestamp,
    which is used to ensure the newest description is used when the uuid.log
    has been merged.
  * Note that older versions of git-annex will display the timestamp as part
    of the repository description, which is ugly but otherwise harmless.
  * Add timestamps to trust.log and remote.log too.
  * git-annex-shell: Added the --uuid option.
  * git-annex now asks git-annex-shell to verify that it's operating in 
    the expected repository.
  * Note that this git-annex will not interoperate with remotes using 
    older versions of git-annex-shell.
  * Now supports git's insteadOf configuration, to modify the url
    used to access a remote. Note that pushInsteadOf is not used;
    that and pushurl are reserved for actual git pushes. Closes: #644278
  * status: List all known repositories.
  * When displaying a list of repositories, show git remote names
    in addition to their descriptions.
  * Add locking to avoid races when changing the git-annex branch.
  * Various speed improvements gained by using ByteStrings.
  * Contain the zombie hordes.

git-annex (3.20110928) unstable; urgency=low

  * --in can be used to make git-annex only operate on files
    believed to be present in a given repository.
  * Arbitrarily complex expressions can be built to limit the files git-annex
    operates on, by combining the options --not --and --or -( and -)
    Example: git annex get --exclude '*.mp3' --and --not -( --in usbdrive --or --in archive -)
  * --copies=N can be used to make git-annex only operate on files with
    the specified number of copies. (And --not --copies=N for the inverse.)
  * find: Rather than only showing files whose contents are present,
    when used with --exclude --copies or --in, displays all files that
    match the specified conditions.
  * Note that this is a behavior change for git-annex find! Old behavior
    can be gotten by using: git-annex find --in .
  * status: Massively sped up; remove --fast mode.
  * unused: File contents used by branches and tags are no longer
    considered unused, even when not used by the current branch. This is
    the final piece of the puzzle needed for git-annex to to play nicely
    with branches.

    still recommended to run "git annex init" in any clones, to describe them.

    This feature replaces the old URL backend.
  * addurl: New command to download an url and store it in the annex.
  * Sped back up fsck, copy --from, and other commands that often
    have to read a lot of information from the git-annex branch. Such
    commands are now faster than they were before introduction of the
    git-annex branch.
  * Always ensure git-annex branch exists.
  * Modify location log parser to allow future expansion.
  * --force will cause add, etc, to operate on ignored files.
  * Avoid mangling encoding when storing the description of repository
    and other content.
  * cabal can now be used to build git-annex. This is substantially
    slower than using make, does not build or install documentation,
    does not run the test suite, and is not particularly recommended,

  * merge: New subcommand. Auto-merges the new git-annex branch.
  * Improved handling of bare git repos with annexes. Many more commands will
    work in them.
  * git-annex is now more robust; it will never leave state files
    uncommitted when some other git process comes along and locks the index
    at an inconvenient time.
  * rsync is now used when copying files from repos on other filesystems.
    cp is still used when copying file from repos on the same filesystem,
    since --reflink=auto can make it significantly faster on filesystems
    such as btrfs.
  * Allow --trust etc to specify a repository by name, for temporarily 
    trusting repositories that are not configured remotes.
  * unlock: Made atomic.
  * git-union-merge: New git subcommand, that does a generic union merge
    operation, and operates efficiently without touching the working tree.

    set item metadata.
  * Added filename extension preserving variant backends SHA1E, SHA256E, etc.
  * migrate: Use current filename when generating new key, for backends

    No migration is needed; the old mixed case hash directories are still
    read; new information is written to the new directories.
  * Unused files on remotes, particulary special remotes, can now be
    identified and dropped, by using "--from remote" with git annex unused

  * Bugfix: Keys could be received into v1 annexes from v2 annexes, via
    v1 git-annex-shell. This results in some oddly named keys in the v1
    annex. Recognise and fix those keys when upgrading, instead of crashing.

git-annex (0.20110325) experimental; urgency=low

  * Free space checking is now done, for transfers of data for keys
    that have free space metadata. (Notably, not for SHA* keys generated
    with git-annex 0.2x or earlier.) The code is believed to work on
    Linux, FreeBSD, and OSX; check compile-time messages to see if it
    is not enabled for your OS.
  * Add annex.diskreserve config setting, to control how much free space
    to reserve for other purposes and avoid using (defaults to 1 mb).
  * Add --fast flag, that can enable less expensive, but also less thorough
    versions of some commands.
  * fsck: In fast mode, avoid checking checksums.
  * unused: In fast mode, just show all existing temp files as unused,
    and avoid expensive scan for other unused content.
  * migrate: Support migrating v1 SHA keys to v2 SHA keys with
    size information that can be used for free space checking.
  * Fix space leak in fsck and drop commands.
  * migrate: Bugfix for case when migrating a file results in a key that
    is already present in .git/annex/objects.
  * dropunused: Significantly sped up; only read unused log file once.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 25 Mar 2011 00:47:37 -0400

git-annex (0.20110320) experimental; urgency=low

  * Fix dropping of files using the URL backend.
  * Fix support for remotes with '.' in their names.
  * Add version command to show git-annex version as well as repository
    version information.
  * No longer auto-upgrade to repository format 2, to avoid accidental
    upgrades, etc. Use git-annex upgrade when you're ready to run this
    version.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 20 Mar 2011 16:36:33 -0400

git-annex (0.20110316) experimental; urgency=low

  * New repository format, annex.version=2.
  * The first time git-annex is run in an old format repository, it
    will automatically upgrade it to the new format, staging all
    necessary changes to git. Also added a "git annex upgrade" command.
  * Colons are now avoided in filenames, so bare clones of git repos
    can be put on USB thumb drives formatted with vFAT or similar
    filesystems.
  * Added two levels of hashing to object directory and .git-annex logs,
    to improve scalability with enormous numbers of annexed
    objects. (With one hundred million annexed objects, each
    directory would contain fewer than 1024 files.)
  * The setkey, fromkey, and dropkey subcommands have changed how
    the key is specified. --backend is no longer used with these.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 16 Mar 2011 16:20:23 -0400

git-annex (0.24) unstable; urgency=low

  Branched the 0.24 series, which will be maintained for a while to
  support v1 git-annex repos, while main development moves to the 0.2011
  series, with v2 git-annex repos.

  * Add Suggests on graphviz. Closes: #618039
  * When adding files to the annex, the symlinks pointing at the annexed
    content are made to have the same mtime as the original file.
    While git does not preserve that information, this allows a tool
    like metastore to be used with annexed files.
    (Currently this is only done on systems supporting POSIX 200809.)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 16 Mar 2011 18:35:13 -0400

git-annex (0.23) unstable; urgency=low

  * Support ssh remotes with a port specified.
  * whereis: New subcommand to show where a file's content has gotten to.
  * Rethink filename encoding handling for display. Since filename encoding
    may or may not match locale settings, any attempt to decode filenames 
    will fail for some files. So instead, do all output in binary mode.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 12 Mar 2011 15:02:49 -0400

git-annex (0.22) unstable; urgency=low

  * Git annexes can now be attached to bare git repositories.
    (Both the local and remote host must have this version of git-annex
    installed for it to work.)
  * Support filenames that start with a dash; when such a file is passed
    to a utility it will be escaped to avoid it being interpreted as an
    option. (I went a little overboard and got the type checker involved
    in this, so such files are rather comprehensively supported now.)
  * New backends: SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA224
    (Supported on systems where corresponding shaNsum commands are available.)
  * describe: New subcommand that can set or change the description of
    a repository.
  * Fix test suite to reap zombies.
    (Zombies can be particularly annoying on OSX; thanks to Jimmy Tang
    for his help eliminating the infestation... for now.)
  * Make test suite not rely on a working cp -pr.
    (The Unix wars are still ON!)
  * Look for dir.git directories the same as git does.
  * Support remote urls specified as relative paths.
  * Support non-ssh remote paths that contain tilde expansions.
  * fsck: Check for and repair location log damage.
  * Bugfix: When fsck detected and moved away corrupt file content, it did
    not update the location log.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 04 Mar 2011 15:10:57 -0400

git-annex (0.21) unstable; urgency=low

  * test: Don't rely on chmod -R working.
  * unannex: Fix recently introduced bug when attempting to unannex more
    than one file at a time.
  * test: Set git user name and email in case git can't guess values.
  * Fix display of unicode filenames.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 11 Feb 2011 23:21:08 -0400

git-annex (0.20) unstable; urgency=low

  * Preserve specified file ordering when instructed to act on multiple
    files or directories. For example, "git annex get a b" will now always
    get "a" before "b". Previously it could operate in either order.
  * unannex: Commit staged changes at end, to avoid some confusing behavior
    with the pre-commit hook, which would see some types of commits after
    an unannex as checking in of an unlocked file.
  * map: New subcommand that uses graphviz to display a nice map of
    the git repository network.
  * Deal with the mtl/monads-fd conflict.
  * configure: Check for sha1sum.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 08 Feb 2011 18:57:24 -0400

git-annex (0.19) unstable; urgency=low

  * configure: Support using the uuidgen command if the uuid command is
    not available.
  * Allow --exclude to be specified more than once.
  * There are now three levels of repository trust.
  * untrust: Now marks the current repository as untrusted.
  * semitrust: Now restores the default trust level. (What untrust used to do.)
  * fsck, drop: Take untrusted repositories into account.
  * Bugfix: Files were copied from trusted remotes first even if their
    annex.cost was higher than other remotes.
  * Improved temp file handling. Transfers of content can now be resumed
    from temp files later; the resume does not have to be the immediate
    next git-annex run.
  * unused: Include partially transferred content in the list.
  * Bugfix: Running a second git-annex while a first has a transfer in
    progress no longer deletes the first processes's temp file.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 28 Jan 2011 14:31:37 -0400

git-annex (0.18) unstable; urgency=low

  * Bugfix: `copy --to` and `move --to` forgot to stage location log changes
    after transferring the file to the remote repository.
    (Did not affect ssh remotes.)
  * fsck: Fix bug in moving of corrupted files to .git/annex/bad/
  * migrate: Fix support for --backend option.
  * unlock: Fix behavior when file content is not present.
  * Test suite improvements. Current top-level test coverage: 80%

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 14 Jan 2011 14:17:44 -0400

git-annex (0.17) unstable; urgency=low

  * unannex: Now skips files whose content is not present, rather than
    it being an error.
  * New migrate subcommand can be used to switch files to using a different
    backend, safely and with no duplication of content.
  * bugfix: Fix crash caused by empty key name. (Thanks Henrik for reporting.)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 09 Jan 2011 10:04:11 -0400

git-annex (0.16) unstable; urgency=low

  * git-annex-shell: Avoid exposing any git repo config except for the
    annex.uuid when doing configlist.
  * bugfix: Running `move --to` with a remote whose UUID was not yet known
    could result in git-annex not recording on the local side where the
    file was moved to. This could not result in data loss, or even a
    significant problem, since the remote *did* record that it had the file.
  * Also, add a general guard to detect attempts to record information
    about repositories with missing UUIDs.
  * bugfix: Running `move --to` with a non-ssh remote failed.
  * bugfix: Running `copy --to` with a non-ssh remote actually did a move.
  * Many test suite improvements. Current top-level test coverage: 65%

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 07 Jan 2011 14:33:13 -0400

git-annex (0.15) unstable; urgency=low

  * Support scp-style urls for remotes (host:path).
  * Support ssh urls containing "~".
  * Add trust and untrust subcommands, to allow configuring repositories
    that are trusted to retain files without explicit checking.
  * Fix bug in numcopies handling when multiple remotes pointed to the
    same repository.
  * Introduce the git-annex-shell command. It's now possible to make
    a user have it as a restricted login shell, similar to git-shell.
  * Note that git-annex will always use git-annex-shell when accessing
    a ssh remote, so all of your remotes need to be upgraded to this
    version of git-annex at the same time.
  * Now rsync is exclusively used for copying files to and from remotes.
    scp is not longer supported.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 31 Dec 2010 22:00:52 -0400

git-annex (0.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * Bugfix to git annex unused in a repository with nothing yet annexed.
  * Support upgrading from a v0 annex with nothing in it.
  * Avoid multiple calls to git ls-files when passed eg, "*".

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 24 Dec 2010 17:38:48 -0400

git-annex (0.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Makefile: Install man page and html (when built).
  * Makefile: Add GHCFLAGS variable.
  * Fix upgrade from 0.03.
  * Support remotes using git+ssh and ssh+git as protocol.
    Closes: #607056

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 14 Dec 2010 13:05:10 -0400

git-annex (0.12) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add --exclude option to exclude files from processing.
  * mwdn2man: Fix a bug in newline supression. Closes: #606578
  * Bugfix to git annex add of an unlocked file in a subdir. Closes: #606579
  * Makefile: Add PREFIX variable.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 11 Dec 2010 17:32:00 -0400

git-annex (0.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * If available, rsync will be used for file transfers from remote
    repositories. This allows resuming interrupted transfers.
  * Added remote.annex-rsync-options.
  * Avoid deleting temp files when rsync fails.
  * Improve detection of version 0 repos.
  * Add uninit subcommand. Closes: #605749

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 04 Dec 2010 17:27:42 -0400

git-annex (0.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * In .gitattributes, the annex.numcopies attribute can be used
    to control the number of copies to retain of different types of files.
  * Bugfix: Always correctly handle gitattributes when in a subdirectory of
    the repository. (Had worked ok for ones like "*.mp3", but failed for
    ones like "dir/*".)
  * fsck: Fix warning about not enough copies of a file, when locations
    are known, but are not available in currently configured remotes.
  * precommit: Optimise to avoid calling git-check-attr more than once.
  * The git-annex-backend attribute has been renamed to annex.backend.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 28 Nov 2010 19:28:05 -0400

git-annex (0.09) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add copy subcommand.
  * Fix bug in setkey subcommand triggered by move --to.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 27 Nov 2010 17:14:59 -0400

git-annex (0.08) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix `git annex add ../foo` (when ran in a subdir of the repo).
  * Add configure step to build process.
  * Only use cp -a if it is supported, falling back to cp -p or plain cp
    as needed for portability.
  * cp --reflink=auto is used if supported, and will make git annex unlock
    much faster on filesystems like btrfs that support copy on write.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 21 Nov 2010 13:45:44 -0400

git-annex (0.07) unstable; urgency=low

  * find: New subcommand.
  * unused: New subcommand, finds unused data. (Split out from fsck.)
  * dropunused: New subcommand, provides for easy dropping of unused keys
    by number, as listed by the unused subcommand.
  * fsck: Print warnings to stderr; --quiet can now be used to only see
    problems.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 15 Nov 2010 18:41:50 -0400

git-annex (0.06) unstable; urgency=low

  * fsck: Check if annex.numcopies is satisfied.
  * fsck: Verify the sha1 of files when the SHA1 backend is used.
  * fsck: Verify the size of files when the WORM backend is used.
  * fsck: Allow specifying individual files if fscking everything
    is not desired.
  * fsck: Fix bug, introduced in 0.04, in detection of unused data.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 13 Nov 2010 16:24:29 -0400

git-annex (0.05) unstable; urgency=low

  * Optimize both pre-commit and lock subcommands to not call git diff
    on every file being committed/locked.
    (This actually also works around a bug in ghc, that caused
    git-annex 0.04 pre-commit to sometimes corrupt filename being read
    from git ls-files and fail. 
    See <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4493>
    The excessive number of calls made by pre-commit exposed the ghc bug.
    Thanks Josh Triplett for the debugging.)
  * Build with -O2.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:31:09 -0400

git-annex (0.04) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add unlock subcommand, which replaces the symlink with a copy of
    the file's content in preparation of changing it. The "edit" subcommand
    is an alias for unlock.
  * Add lock subcommand.
  * Unlocked files will now automatically be added back into the annex when
    committed (and the updated symlink committed), by some magic in the
    pre-commit hook.
  * The SHA1 backend is now fully usable.
  * Add annex.version, which will be used to automate upgrades
    between incompatible versions.
  * Reorganised the layout of .git/annex/
  * The new layout will be automatically upgraded to the first time
    git-annex is used in a repository with the old layout.
  * Note that git-annex 0.04 cannot transfer content from old repositories
    that have not yet been upgraded.
  * Annexed file contents are now made unwritable and put in unwriteable
    directories, to avoid them accidentially being removed or modified.
    (Thanks Josh Triplett for the idea.)
  * Add build dep on libghc6-testpack-dev. Closes: #603016
  * Avoid using runghc to run test suite as it is not available on all
    architectures. Closes: #603006

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 10 Nov 2010 14:23:23 -0400

git-annex (0.03) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix support for file:// remotes.
  * Add --verbose
  * Fix SIGINT handling.
  * Fix handling of files with unusual characters in their name.
  * Fixed memory leak; git-annex no longer reads the whole file list
    from git before starting, and will be much faster with large repos.
  * Fix crash on unknown symlinks.
  * Added remote.annex-scp-options and remote.annex-ssh-options.
  * The backends to use when adding different sets of files can be configured
    via gitattributes.
  * In .gitattributes, the git-annex-backend attribute can be set to the
    names of backends to use when adding different types of files.
  * Add fsck subcommand. (For now it only finds unused key contents in the
    annex.)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 07 Nov 2010 18:26:04 -0400

git-annex (0.02) unstable; urgency=low

  * Can scp annexed files from remote hosts, and check remote hosts for
    file content when dropping files.
  * New move subcommand, that makes it easy to move file contents from
    or to a remote.
  * New fromkey subcommand, for registering urls, etc.
  * git-annex init will now set up a pre-commit hook that fixes up symlinks
    before they are committed, to ensure that moving symlinks around does not
    break them.
  * More intelligent and fast staging of modified files; git add coalescing.
  * Add remote.annex-ignore git config setting to allow completly disabling
    a given remote.
  * --from/--to can be used to control the remote repository that git-annex
    uses.
  * --quiet can be used to avoid verbose output
  * New plumbing-level dropkey and addkey subcommands.
  * Lots of bug fixes.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 27 Oct 2010 16:39:29 -0400

git-annex (0.01) unstable; urgency=low
