README.md

Version 1.7

Changes

  • Git annex v7 mode: With this version, new repositories and local clones are initialised in git-annex v7 mode. This brings several changes in the behaviour of file locking:
    • Files are added unlocked by default.
    • Locking a file is a persistent status change that can be committed to the repository and will affect other clones.
    • Locked files are not usable on Windows (not even for reading) and need to be unlocked.
    • If no locking or unlocking is performed, the behaviour is is identical across all platforms.
  • New command: gin sync
    • Synchronises changes bidirectionally between remote repositories and the local clone.
    • Content can be synchronised at the same time with the --content flag.
    • Using the --content flag will download all data in the repository.
  • gin version --copy-to behaviour changes:
    • Files can now be checked out from older versions to any location, i.e., the destination directory does not need to be under the repository root.
    • Checked out files (the old versions) are not added to the repository.
    • Annexed content of checked out files is automatically downloaded.
  • Custom commit messages: Users can now specify a custom commit message when performing a gin commit by specifying the --message flag (-m for short).
  • Better handling of merge conflicts.
  • gin ls file listings are colour coded. Synced files are green, pointer files without content are cyan, modified files are yellow/orange, removed files are red.
  • gin ls prints a summary with file counts for each status at the bottom of the output.
  • JSON output has been added (--json flag) to the info, keys, servers, and remotes commands.
  • A message is always printed when there is "Nothing to do".
  • Output is more consistent across all file operations.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed bugs with colours in Windows terminals.
  • Fixed bug where the log would not be properly trimmed on Windows.
  • Fixed bug where gin version --copy-to would fail on Windows.
