+=== 0.0.1 2009-08-05
+
+* 1 major enhancement:
+  * Initial release
+
+
+
+2006-09-29:
+Added support for --expires and --cache-control. Eg:
+--expires="Thu, 01 Dec 2007 16:00:00 GMT"
+--cache-control="no-cache"
+
+Thanks to Charles for pointing out the need for this, and supplying a patch
+proving that it would be trivial to add =) Apologies for not including the short
+form (-e) for the expires. I have a rule that options taking arguments should
+use the long form.
+----------
+
+2006-10-04
+Several minor debugs and edge cases.
+Fixed a bug where retries didn't rewind the stream to start over.
+----------
+
+2006-10-12
+Version 1.0.5
+Finally figured out and fixed bug of trying to follow local symlink-to-directory.
+Fixed a really nasty sorting discrepancy that caused problems when files started
+with the same name as a directory.
+Retry on connection-reset on the S3 side.
+Skip files that we can't read instead of dying.
+----------
+
+2006-10-12
+Version 1.0.6
+Some GC voodoo to try and keep a handle on the memory footprint a little better.
+There is still room for improvement here.
+----------
+
+2006-10-13
+Version 1.0.7
+Fixed symlink dirs being stored to S3 as real dirs (and failing with 400)
+Added a retry catch for connection timeout error.
+(Hopefully) caught a bug that expected every S3 listing to contain results
+----------
+
+2006-10-14
+Version 1.0.8
+Was testing for file? before symlink? in localnode.stream. This meant that for
+symlink files it was trying to shove the real file contents into the symlink
+body on s3.
+----------
+
+2006-10-14
+Version 1.0.9
+Woops, I was using "max-entries" for some reason but the proper header is
+"max-keys".  Not a big deal.
+Broke out the S3try stuff into a separate file so I could re-use it for s3cmd.rb
+----------
+
+2006-10-16
+Added a couple debug lines; not even enough to call it a version revision.
+----------
+
+2006-10-25
+Version 1.0.10
+UTF-8 fixes.
+Catching a couple more retry-able errors in s3try (instead of aborting the
+program).
+----------
+
+2006-10-26
+Version 1.0.11
+Revamped some details of the generators and comparator so that directories are
+handled in a more exact and uniform fashion across local and S3. 
+----------
+
+2006-11-28
+Version 1.0.12
+Added a couple more error catches to s3try.
+----------
+
+2007-01-08
+Version 1.0.13
+Numerous small changes to slash and path handling, in order to catch several 
+cases where "root" directory nodes were not being created on S3.
+This makes restores work a lot more intuitively in many cases.
+----------
+
+2007-01-25
+Version 1.0.14
+Peter Fales' marker fix.
+Also, markers should be decoded into native charset (because that's what s3
+expects to see).
+----------
+
+2007-02-19
+Version 1.1.0
+*WARNING* Lots of path-handling changes. *PLEASE* test safely before you just
+swap this in for your working 1.0.x version.
+
+- Adding --exclude (and there was much rejoicing).
+- Found Yet Another Leading Slash Bug with respect to local nodes. It was always
+"recursing" into the first folder even if there was no trailing slash and -r
+wasn't specified. What it should have done in this case is simply create a node
+for the directory itself, then stop (not check the dir's contents).
+- Local node canonicalization was (potentially) stripping the trailing slash,
+which we need in order to make some decisios in the local generator.
+- Fixed problem where it would prepend a "/" to s3 key names even with blank
+prefix.
+- Fixed S3->local when there's no "/" in the source so it doesn't try to create
+a folder with the bucket name. 
+- Updated s3try and s3_s3sync_mod to allow SSL_CERT_FILE
+----------
+
+2007-02-22
+Version 1.1.1
+Fixed dumb regression bug caused by the S3->local bucket name fix in 1.1.0
+----------
+
+2007-02-25
+Version 1.1.2
+Added --progress
+----------
+
+2007-06-02
+Version 1.1.3
+IMPORTANT!
+Pursuant to http://s3sync.net/forum/index.php?topic=49.0 , the tar.gz now
+expands into its own sub-directory named "s3sync" instead of dumping all the
+files into the current directory.
+
+In the case of commands of the form:
+	s3sync -r somedir somebucket:
+The root directory node in s3 was being stored as "somedir/" instead of "somedir"
+which caused restores to mess up when you say:
+	s3sync -r somebucket: restoredir
+The fix to this, by coincidence, actually makes s3fox work even *less* well with 
+s3sync.  I really need to build my own xul+javascript s3 GUI some day.
+
+Also fixed some of the NoMethodError stuff for when --progress is used
+and caught Errno::ETIMEDOUT
+----------
+
+2007-07-12
+Version 1.1.4
+Added Alastair Brunton's yaml config code.
+----------
+
+2007-11-17
+Version 1.2.1
+Compatibility for S3 API revisions.
+When retries are exhausted, emit an error.
+Don't ever try to delete the 'root' local dir.    
+----------
+
+2007-11-20
+Version 1.2.2
+Handle EU bucket 307 redirects (in s3try.rb)
+--make-dirs added
+----------
+
+2007-11-20
+Version 1.2.3
+Fix SSL verification settings that broke in new S3 API.
+----------
+
+2008-01-06
+Version 1.2.4
+Run from any dir (search "here" for includes).
+Search out s3config.yml in some likely places.
+Reset connection (properly) on retry-able non-50x errors.
+Fix calling format bug preventing it from working from yml.
+Added http proxy support.
+----------
+
+2008-05-11
+Version 1.2.5
+Added option --no-md5
+----------
+
+2008-06-16
+Version 1.2.6
+Catch connect errors and retry.

+= s3sync
+
+* http://github.com/mitchc2/s3sync
+
+== DESCRIPTION:
+
+Welcome to s3sync.rb         
+--------------------
+Home page, wiki, forum, bug reports, etc: http://s3sync.net
+
+This is a ruby program that easily transfers directories between a local
+directory and an S3 bucket:prefix. It behaves somewhat, but not precisely, like
+the rsync program. In particular, it shares rsync's peculiar behavior that
+trailing slashes on the source side are meaningful. See examples below.
+
+One benefit over some other comparable tools is that s3sync goes out of its way
+to mirror the directory structure on S3.  Meaning you don't *need* to use s3sync
+later in order to view your files on S3.  You can just as easily use an S3
+shell, a web browser (if you used the --public-read option), etc.  Note that
+s3sync is NOT necessarily going to be able to read files you uploaded via some
+other tool.  This includes things uploaded with the old perl version!  For best
+results, start fresh!
+
+s3sync runs happily on linux, probably other *ix, and also Windows (except that
+symlinks and permissions management features don't do anything on Windows). If
+you get it running somewhere interesting let me know (see below)
+
+s3sync is free, and license terms are included in all the source files. If you
+decide to make it better, or find bugs, please let me know.
+
+The original inspiration for this tool is the perl script by the same name which
+was made by Thorsten von Eicken (and later updated by me). This ruby program
+does not share any components or logic from that utility; the only relation is
+that it performs a similar task.
+
+
+Management tasks
+----------------
+For low-level S3 operations not encapsulated by the sync paradigm, try the
+companion utility s3cmd.rb. See README_s3cmd.txt.
+
+
+About single files
+------------------
+s3sync lacks the special case code that would be needed in order to handle a
+source/dest that's a single file. This isn't one of the supported use cases so
+don't expect it to work. You can use the companion utility s3cmd.rb for single
+get/puts.
+
+
+About Directories, the bane of any S3 sync-er
+--------------------------------------------- 
+In S3 there's no actual concept of folders, just keys and nodes. So, every tool
+uses its own proprietary way of storing dir info (my scheme being the best
+naturally) and in general the methods are not compatible.
+
+If you populate S3 by some means *other than* s3sync and then try to use s3sync
+to "get" the S3 stuff to a local filesystem, you will want to use the
+--make-dirs option. This causes the local dirs to be created even if there is no
+s3sync-compatible directory node info stored on the S3 side. In other words,
+local folders are conjured into existence whenever they are needed to make the
+"get" succeed.
+
+
+About MD5 hashes
+----------------
+s3sync's normal operation is to compare the file size and MD5 hash of each item
+to decide whether it needs syncing.  On the S3 side, these hashes are stored and
+returned to us as the "ETag" of each item when the bucket is listed, so it's
+very easy.  On the local side, the MD5 must be calculated by pushing every byte
+in the file through the MD5 algorithm.  This is CPU and IO intensive!  
+
+Thus you can specify the option --no-md5. This will compare the upload time on
+S3 to the "last modified" time on the local item, and not do md5 calculations
+locally at all. This might cause more transfers than are absolutely necessary.
+For example if the file is "touched" to a newer modified date, but its contents
+didn't change. Conversely if a file's contents are modified but the date is not
+updated, then the sync will pass over it.  Lastly, if your clock is very
+different from the one on the S3 servers, then you may see unanticipated
+behavior.
+
+
+A word on SSL_CERT_DIR:
+-----------------------
+On my debian install I didn't find any root authority public keys.  I installed
+some by running this shell archive: 
+http://mirbsd.mirsolutions.de/cvs.cgi/src/etc/ssl.certs.shar
+(You have to click download, and then run it wherever you want the certs to be
+placed).  I do not in any way assert that these certificates are good,
+comprehensive, moral, noble, or otherwise correct.  But I am using them.
+
+If you don't set up a cert dir, and try to use ssl, then you'll 1) get an ugly
+warning message slapped down by ruby, and 2) not have any protection AT ALL from
+malicious servers posing as s3.amazonaws.com.  Seriously... you want to get
+this right if you're going to have any sensitive data being tossed around.
+--
+There is a debian package ca-certificates; this is what I'm using now.
+apt-get install ca-certificates
+and then use:
+SSL_CERT_DIR=/etc/ssl/certs
+
+You used to be able to use just one certificate, but recently AWS has started
+using more than one CA.
+
+
+Getting started:
+----------------
+Invoke by typing s3sync.rb and you should get a nice usage screen.
+Options can be specified in short or long form (except --delete, which has no 
+short form)
+
+ALWAYS TEST NEW COMMANDS using --dryrun(-n) if you want to see what will be
+affected before actually doing it. ESPECIALLY if you use --delete. Otherwise, do
+not be surprised if you misplace a '/' or two and end up deleting all your
+precious, precious files.
+
+If you use the --public-read(-p) option, items sent to S3 will be ACL'd so that
+anonymous web users can download them, given the correct URL. This could be
+useful if you intend to publish directories of information for others to see.
+For example, I use s3sync to publish itself to its home on S3 via the following
+command: s3sync.rb -v -p publish/ ServEdge_pub:s3sync Where the files live in a
+local folder called "publish" and I wish them to be copied to the URL:
+http://s3.amazonaws.com/ServEdge_pub/s3sync/... If you use --ssl(-s) then your
+connections with S3 will be encrypted. Otherwise your data will be sent in clear
+form, i.e. easy to intercept by malicious parties.
+
+If you want to prune items from the destination side which are not found on the
+source side, you can use --delete. Always test this with -n first to make sure
+the command line you specify is not going to do something terrible to your
+cherished and irreplaceable data.
+
+
+Updates and other discussion: 
+----------------------------- 
+The latest version of s3sync should normally be at:
+	http://s3.amazonaws.com/ServEdge_pub/s3sync/s3sync.tar.gz 
+and the Amazon S3 forums probably have a few threads going on it at any given
+time. I may not always see things posted to the threads, so if you want you can
+contact me at gbs-s3@10forward.com too.

+
+== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
+
+* FIX (list of features or problems)
+
+== SYNOPSIS:
+
+Examples: 
+---------
+(using S3 bucket 'mybucket' and prefix 'pre')
+  Put the local etc directory itself into S3
+        s3sync.rb  -r  /etc  mybucket:pre
+        (This will yield S3 keys named  pre/etc/...)
+  Put the contents of the local /etc dir into S3, rename dir:
+        s3sync.rb  -r  /etc/  mybucket:pre/etcbackup
+        (This will yield S3 keys named  pre/etcbackup/...)
+  Put contents of S3 "directory" etc into local dir
+        s3sync.rb  -r  mybucket:pre/etc/  /root/etcrestore
+        (This will yield local files at  /root/etcrestore/...)
+  Put the contents of S3 "directory" etc into a local dir named etc
+        s3sync.rb  -r  mybucket:pre/etc  /root
+        (This will yield local files at  /root/etc/...)
+  Put S3 nodes under the key pre/etc/ to the local dir etcrestore
+  **and create local dirs even if S3 side lacks dir nodes**
+        s3sync.rb  -r  --make-dirs  mybucket:pre/etc/  /root/etcrestore
+        (This will yield local files at  /root/etcrestore/...)
+
+List all the buckets your account owns:
+	s3cmd.rb listbuckets
+
+Create a new bucket:
+	s3cmd.rb createbucket BucketName
+
+Create a new bucket in the EU:
+	s3cmd.rb createbucket BucketName EU
+   
+Find out the location constraint of a bucket:
+   s3cmd.rb location BucketName
+
+Delete an old bucket you don't want any more:
+	s3cmd.rb deletebucket BucketName
+	
+Find out what's in a bucket, 10 lines at a time:
+	s3cmd.rb list BucketName 10
+	
+Only look in a particular prefix:
+	s3cmd.rb list BucketName:startsWithThis
+	
+Look in the virtual "directory" named foo;
+lists sub-"directories" and keys that are at this level.
+Note that if you specify a delimiter you must specify a max before it.
+(until I make the options parsing smarter)
+	s3cmd.rb list BucketName:foo/  10  /
+
+Delete a key:
+	s3cmd.rb delete BucketName:AKey
+
+Delete all keys that match (like a combo between list and delete):
+	s3cmd.rb deleteall BucketName:SomePrefix
+	
+Only pretend you're going to delete all keys that match, but list them: 
+	s3cmd.rb  --dryrun  deleteall  BucketName:SomePrefix
+	
+Delete all keys in a bucket (leaving the bucket):
+	s3cmd.rb deleteall BucketName
+	
+Get a file from S3 and store it to a local file
+	s3cmd.rb get BucketName:TheFileOnS3.txt  ALocalFile.txt
+	
+Put a local file up to S3 
+Note we don't automatically set mime type, etc.
+NOTE that the order of the options doesn't change. S3 stays first!
+	s3cmd.rb put BucketName:TheFileOnS3.txt ALocalFile.txt
+
+
+A note about [headers]
+----------------------
+For some S3 operations, such as "put", you might want to specify certain headers
+to the request such as Cache-Control, Expires, x-amz-acl, etc.  Rather than
+supporting a load of separate command-line options for these, I just allow
+header specification.  So to upload a file with public-read access you could
+say:
+	s3cmd.rb  put  MyBucket:TheFile.txt  x-amz-acl:public-read
+
+If you don't need to add any particular headers then you can just ignore this
+whole [headers] thing and pretend it's not there.  This is somewhat of an
+advanced option.
+
+
+== REQUIREMENTS:
+
+* FIX (list of requirements)
+
+== INSTALL:
+
+sudo gem install s3sync
+
+
+Your environment:
+-----------------
+s3sync needs to know several interesting values to work right.  It looks for 
+them in the following environment variables -or- a s3config.yml file.
+In the yml case, the names need to be lowercase (see example file).
+Furthermore, the yml is searched for in the following locations, in order:
+   $S3CONF/s3config.yml
+   $HOME/.s3conf/s3config.yml
+   /etc/s3conf/s3config.yml
+
+Required:
+	AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
+	AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+	
+	If you don't know what these are, then s3sync is probably not the
+	right tool for you to be starting out with.
+Optional:
+	AWS_S3_HOST - I don't see why the default would ever be wrong
+   HTTP_PROXY_HOST,HTTP_PROXY_PORT,HTTP_PROXY_USER,HTTP_PROXY_PASSWORD - proxy
+	SSL_CERT_DIR - Where your Cert Authority keys live; for verification
+	SSL_CERT_FILE - If you have just one PEM file for CA verification
+	S3SYNC_RETRIES - How many HTTP errors to tolerate before exiting
+	S3SYNC_WAITONERROR - How many seconds to wait after an http error
+	S3SYNC_MIME_TYPES_FILE - Where is your mime.types file
+	S3SYNC_NATIVE_CHARSET - For example Windows-1252.  Defaults to ISO-8859-1.
+   AWS_CALLING_FORMAT - Defaults to REGULAR
+       REGULAR   # http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/key
+       SUBDOMAIN # http://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/key
+       VANITY    # http://<vanity_domain>/key  
+
+Important: For EU-located buckets you should set the calling format to SUBDOMAIN
+Important: For US buckets with CAPS or other weird traits set the calling format 
+to REGULAR
+
+I use "envdir" from the daemontools package to set up my env 
+variables easily: http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/envdir.html
+For example:
+	envdir /root/s3sync/env /root/s3sync/s3sync.rb -etc etc etc
+I know there are other similar tools out there as well.  
+
+You can also just call it in a shell script where you have exported the vars 
+first such as:
+#!/bin/bash
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=valueGoesHere
+...
+s3sync.rb -etc etc etc
+
+But by far the easiest (and newest) way to set this up is to put the name:value
+pairs in a file named s3config.yml and let the yaml parser pick them up. There
+is an .example file shipped with the tar.gz to show what a yaml file looks like.
+Thanks to Alastair Brunton for this addition.
+
+You can also use some combination of .yaml and environment variables, if you
+want. Go nuts.
