Several related bugs +were caused by relying on the inode cache information, without a fallback +to handle the case where the inode cache had not gotten updated. While the +inode cache is generally kept up-to-date well by the smudge/clean +filtering, it is just a cache and can be out of date. Did some auditing for +such problems and hopefully I've managed to find them all. + +Also, there was a tricky upgrade case where a v5 repository contained a +v6 unlocked file, and the annexed content got copied into it. This +triggered the above-described bugs, and in this case the worktree needs +to be updated on upgrade, to replace the pointer file with the content. + +As I caught up with recent activity, it was nice to see some contributions +from others. James MacMahon sent in a patch to improve the filenames +generated by `importfeed`. And, xloem is writing workflow documentation for +git-annex in [[todo/Workflow_guide]].
