We (and git-annex > author) were aware of "merge of unrelated branches" change in behavior > in git awhile back and both annex and datalad were read for it ;) ok -- confirming. also confirming that I have misdiagnosed the problem of failing datalad unittests -- it has nothing to do with annex compatibility, it happened due to change of the output from git in case of absent changes to the worktree: $> git --version git version 2.9.3 $> git status On branch annex/direct/master nothing to commit, working tree clean $> /usr/lib/git-annex.linux/git --version git version 2.8.1 $> /usr/lib/git-annex.linux/git status On branch annex/direct/master nothing to commit, working directory clean so instead of 'working directory' now it reports 'working tree' and our test was too rigid. It will be fixed in the next datalad release (after I address one more issue which came about seems with new git). For now datalad should be pruned away from testing ;) Thanks and cheers! -- Yaroslav O.
