Changelog

git-annex (5.20140320) unstable; urgency=medium


  * Fix zombie leak and general inneficiency when copying files to a
    local git repo.
  * Fix ssh connection caching stop method to work with openssh 6.5p1,
    which broke the old method.
  * webapp: Added a "Sync now" item to each repository's menu.
  * webapp: Use securemem for constant time auth token comparisons.
  * copy --fast --to remote: Avoid printing anything for files that
    are already believed to be present on the remote.
  * Commands that allow specifying which repository to act on using
    the repository's description will now fail when multiple repositories
    match, rather than picking a repository at random.
    (So will --in=)
  * Better workaround for problem umasks when eg, setting up ssh keys.
  * "standard" can now be used as a first-class keyword in preferred content
    expressions. For example "standard or (include=otherdir/*)"
  * groupwanted can be used in preferred content expressions.
  * vicfg: Allows editing preferred content expressions for groups.
  * Improve behavior when unable to parse a preferred content expression
    (thanks, ion).
  * metadata: Add --get
  * metadata: Support --key option (and some other ones like --all)
  * For each metadata field, there's now an automatically maintained
    "$field-lastchanged" that gives the date of the last change to that
    field. Also the "lastchanged" field for the date of the last change
    to any of a file's metadata.
  * unused: In direct mode, files that are deleted from the work tree
    and so have no content present are no longer incorrectly detected as
    unused.
  * Avoid encoding errors when using the unused log file.
  * map: Fix crash when one of the remotes of a repo is a local directory
    that does not exist, or is not a git repo.
  * repair: Improve memory usage when git fsck finds a great many broken
    objects.
  * Windows: Fix some filename encoding bugs.
  * rsync special remote: Fix slashes when used on Windows.

git-annex: manage files with git, without checking their contents into git

 git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file
 contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when
 dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due
 to limitations in memory, time, or disk space.
 .
 Even without file content tracking, being able to manage files with git,
 move files around and delete files with versioned directory trees, and use
 branches and distributed clones, are all very handy reasons to use git. And
 annexed files can co-exist in the same git repository with regularly
 versioned files, which is convenient for maintaining documents, Makefiles,
 etc that are associated with annexed files but that benefit from full
 revision control.
