- Update to git-annex version 8.20211231
* Improved support for using git-annex in a read-only repository,
git-annex branch information from remotes that cannot be merged
into the git-annex branch will now not crash it, but will be
merged in memory.
* addurl, youtube-dl: When --check-raw prevents downloading an
url, still continue with any downloads that come after it,
rather than erroring out.
* Fix locking problems when annex.pidlock is set and concurrency
is enabled eg with -J.
* Improve error message display when autoinit fails due to eg, a
permissions problem.
* export: Avoid unncessarily re-exporting non-annexed files that
were already exported.
* Improve git command queue flushing so that eg, addurl of
several large files that take time to download will update the
index for each file, rather than deferring the index updates to
the end.
* sync: Better error message when unable to export to a remote
because remote.name.annex-tracking-branch is configured to a
ref that does not exist.
* Fix build with ghc 9.0.1
* Fix build with old versions of feed library.
- git-annex 8.20211123 was released with these changes:
* Bugfix: When -J was enabled, getting files could leak an
ever-growing number of git cat-file processes.
* Support git's new "ort" resolver, which became the default in
git 2.34.0, and broke the test suite and automatic merge
resolution of a conflict between an annexed file and a
non-annexed file.
