Short day because I spent 3 hours this morning explaining free software and kickstarter to an accountant. And was away until 3 pm, so how did I get all this done‽

Eliot pointed out that shutting down the assistant could leave transfers running. This happened because git annex transferkeys is a separate process, and so it was left to finish up any transfer that was in process. I've made shutdown stop all transfers that the assistant started. (Other paired computers could still be connecting to make transfers even when the assistant is not running, and those are not affected.)

Added sequence numbers to the XMPP messages used for git pushes. While these numbers are not used yet, they're available for debugging, and will help me determine if packets are lost or come out of order. So if you have experienced problems with XMPP syncing sometimes failing, run tonight's build of the assistant with --debug (or turn on debugging in the webapp configuration screen), and send me a log by email to debuglogs201204@joeyh.name

Changed the way that autobuilds and manual builds report their version number. It now includes the date of the last commit, and the abbreviated commit ID, rather than being some random date after the last release.

Frederik found a bug using the assistant on a FAT filesystem. It didn't properly handle the files that git uses to stand-in for symlinks in that situation, and annexed those files. I've fixed this, and even moving around symlink stand-in files on a FAT filesystem now results in correct changes to symlinks being committed.
