git-annex (4.20130802) unstable; urgency=low

  * dropunused behavior change: Now refuses to drop the last copy of a
    file, unless you use the --force.
    This was the last place in git-annex that could remove data referred
    to by the git history, without being forced.
    Like drop, dropunused checks remotes, and honors the global
    annex.numcopies setting. (However, .gitattributes settings cannot
    apply to unused files.) 
  * Fix inverted logic in last release's fix for data loss bug,
    that caused git-annex sync on FAT or other crippled filesystems to add
    symlink standin files to the annex.
  * importfeed can be used to import files from podcast feeds.
  * webapp: When setting up a dedicated ssh key to access the annex
    on a host, set IdentitiesOnly to prevent the ssh-agent from forcing
    use of a different ssh key. That could result in unncessary password
    prompts, or prevent git-annex-shell from being run on the remote host.
  * webapp: Improve handling of remotes whose setup has stalled.
  * Add status message to XMPP presence tag, to identify to others that
    the client is a git-annex client. Closes: #717652
  * webapp: When creating a repository on a removable drive, set
    core.fsyncobjectfiles, to help prevent data loss when the drive is yanked.
  * Always build with -threaded, to avoid a deadlock when communicating with
    gpg.
  * unused: No longer shows as unused tmp files that are actively being
    transferred.
  * assistant: Fix NetWatcher to not sync with remotes that have
    remote.<name>.annex-sync set to false.
  * assistant: Fix deadlock that could occur when adding a lot of files
    at once in indirect mode.
  * assistant: Fix bug that caused it to stall when adding a very large
    number of files at once (around 5 thousand).
  * OSX: Make git-annex-webapp run in the background, so that the app icon
    can be clicked on the open a new webapp when the assistant is already
    running.
  * Improve test suite on Windows; now tests git annex sync.
  * Fix a few bugs involving filenames that are at or near the filesystem's
    maximum filename length limit.
  * find: Avoid polluting stdout with progress messages. Closes: #718186
  * Escape ':' in file/directory names to avoid it being treated
    as a pathspec by some git commands. Closes: #718185
  * Slow and ugly work around for bug #718517 in git 1.8.4~rc0, which broke
    git-cat-file --batch for filenames containing spaces.
    (Will be reverted after next git pre-release fixes the problem.)
