Notable changes in 0.29.3 as compared to 0.29.2

General

Newer versions of par2 can process in parallel using multiple threads/cores, and they do so automatically. This ends up competing with bup fscks own parallelism, enabled by -j, in such a way that the command can actually run much slower (and be much more expensive) than it would have been with no parallelism at all.

When appropriate bup fsck now disables par2's competing parallelism (via its -t1 option) to avoid the contention.

Build system

test-prune-older should no longer be disturbed by git's automatic background gc.

Thanks to (at least)
