Just released git-annex 3.20120924, which includes beta versions of the assistant and webapp. Read the ?errata, then give it a try!
I've uploaded it to Haskell's cabal, and to Debian unstable, and hope my helpers for other distributions will update them soon. (Although the additional dependencies to build the webapp may take a while on some.) I also hope something can be done to make a prebuilt version available on OSX soonish.
I've decided to license the webapp under the AGPL. This should not impact normal users of it, and git-annex can be built without the webapp as a pure GPL licensed program. This is just insurance to prevent someone turning the webapp into a propritary web-only service, by requiring that anyone who does so provide the source of the webapp.
Cabal update
Cabal install git-annex Seemed to install correctly on OS X 10.7
After the installation, an application for git-annex showed up on my desktop. This is the wrong place to put applications in OS X. It should belong in the /Applications Folder.
Launching the git-annex app, the web-browser is opened, and it tells me to make a repository. I entered /Users/[my home folder]/Annex and continued. I then got an internal server error and nothing else happened. The Error:
uuid ["-m"] exited 127
Annex was created, and there is a .git folder in it.
Checking the annex status: Bret-Air:Annex bret$ git annex status git-annex: First run: git-annex init
I'll try it on 10.6 here in just a moment. Let me know if I can provide any more useful information.
