Package: pass
Version: 1.6.5-4
Severity: normal

Hello,

Version 1.6.5 suffers from a small but irritating bug: some commands like init,
mv are calling a check for whether or not a file needs to be reencrypted. That
check has a bug that makes it always reencrypt files in certain circumstances.

The issue was already fixed upstream right before 1.7.1 was released this week.

I haven't looked at why the 1.7 package is marked as buggy in experimental, but
my concern is more for jessie and stretch which have versions 1.6.3 and 1.6.5,
respectively. Both are affected by this bug.

If I'm not mistaken 1.6.x is not maintained by upstream as a separate branch so
in order to fix the issue I guess we'd have to backport the patch ourselves.
Luckily it's an easy one-liner: commit a09d6685e609f9a11fa2b9b5904d39ef8966b3b7
in upstream repos.
