Wow, 11 days off! I was busy with first dentistry and then DebConf. Yesterday I [visited CERN](http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/words_fail_me/) and got to talk with some of their IT guys about how they manage their tens of petabytes of data. Interested to hear they also have the equivilant of a per-subdirectory annex.numcopies setting. OTOH, they have half a billion more files than git's index file is likely to be able to scale to support. ;) Pushed a release out today despite not having many queued changes. Also, I got git-annex migrated to Debian testing, and so was also able to update the wheezy backport to a just 2 week old version. Today is also the last day of the [campaign](https://campaign.joeyh.name/)! ---- There has been a ton of discussion about git-annex here at DebConf, including 3 BoF sessions that mostly focused on it, among other git stuff. Also, RichiH will be presenting his "[Gitify Your Life](http://penta.debconf.org/dc13_schedule/events/1025.en.html)" talk on Friday; you can catch it on the [live stream](http://blog.debconf.org/blog/2013/08/14#hl_dc13_recordings). I've also had a continual stream of in-person bug and feature requests. (Mostly features.) These have been added to the wiki and I look forward to working on that backlog when I get home. As for coding, I am doing little here, but I do have a branch cooking that adds some options to `git annex import` to control handling of duplicate files.
