git-crypt 0.4.1 is a bugfix-only release that contains an important usability fix for users who use GPG mode to encrypt an entire repository.

Previously, if you used a '*' pattern in the top-level .gitattributes file, and you did not explicitly add a pattern to exclude the .git-crypt directory, the files contained therein would be encrypted, rendering the repository impossible to unlock with GPG.

git-crypt now adds a .gitattributes file to the .git-crypt directory to prevent its contents from being encrypted, regardless of patterns in the top-level .gitattributes.

If you are using git-crypt in GPG mode to encrypt an entire repository, and you do not already have a .gitattributes pattern to exclude the .git-crypt directory, you are strongly advised to upgrade. After upgrading, you should do the following in each of your repositories to ensure that the information inside .git-crypt is properly stored:

  1. Remove existing key files: rm .git-crypt/keys/*/0/*

  2. Re-add GPG user(s): git-crypt add-gpg-user GPG_USER_ID ...
