Changelog
git-annex (0.20110427) unstable; urgency=low
* Switch back to haskell SHA library, so git-annex remains buildable on
Debian stable.
* Added rsync special remotes. This could be used, for example, to
store annexed content on rsync.net (encrypted naturally). Or anywhere else.
* Bugfix: Avoid pipeline stall when running git annex drop or fsck on a
lot of files. Possibly only occured with ghc 7.
git-annex (0.20110425) unstable; urgency=low
* Use haskell Crypto library instead of haskell SHA library.
* Remove testpack from build depends for non x86 architectures where it
is not available. The test suite will not be run if it cannot be compiled.
* Avoid using absolute paths when staging location log, as that can
confuse git when a remote's path contains a symlink. Closes: #621386
git-annex (0.20110420) unstable; urgency=low
* Update Debian build dependencies for ghc 7.
* Debian package is now built with S3 support.
Thanks Joachim Breitner for making this possible.
* Somewhat improved memory usage of S3, still work to do.
Thanks Greg Heartsfield for ongoing work to improve the hS3 library
for git-annex.
git-annex (0.20110419) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't run gpg in batch mode, so it can prompt for passphrase when
there is no agent.
* Add missing build dep on dataenc.
* S3: Fix stalls when transferring encrypted data.
* bup: Avoid memory leak when transferring encrypted data.
git-annex (0.20110417) unstable; urgency=low
* bup is now supported as a special type of remote.
* The data sent to special remotes (Amazon S3, bup, etc) can be encrypted
using GPG for privacy.
* Use lowercase hash directories for locationlog files, to avoid
some issues with git on OSX with the mixed-case directories.
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
and git annex dropunused.
* Clear up short option confusion between --from and --force (-f is now
--from, and there is no short option for --force).
* Add build depend on perlmagick so docs are consistently built.
Closes: #621410
* Add doc-base file. Closes: #621408
* Periodically flush git command queue, to avoid boating memory usage
too much.
* Support "sha1" and "sha512" commands on FreeBSD, and allow building
if any/all SHA commands are not available. Thanks, Fraser Tweedale
git-annex (0.20110401) experimental; urgency=low
* Amazon S3 is now supported as a special type of remote.
Warning: Encrypting data before sending it to S3 is not yet supported.
* Note that Amazon S3 support is not built in by default on Debian yet,
as hS3 is not packaged.
* fsck: Ensure that files and directories in .git/annex/objects
have proper permissions.
* Added a special type of remote called a directory remote, which
simply stores files in an arbitrary local directory.
* Bugfix: copy --to --fast never really copied, fixed.
git-annex (0.20110328) experimental; urgency=low
* annex.diskreserve can be given in arbitrary units (ie "0.5 gigabytes")
* Generalized remotes handling, laying groundwork for remotes that are
not regular git remotes. (Think Amazon S3.)
* Provide a less expensive version of `git annex copy --to`, enabled
via --fast. This assumes that location tracking information is correct,
rather than contacting the remote for every file.
* 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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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%
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.)
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%
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.
