ostree 2014.6

[Colin Walters <walters verbum org>]

Hi,

OSTree v2104.6 is now available:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/ostree/tag/?id=v2014.6

This release is a mix of bugfixes and feature work.  On the bugfixes
side,
the fact that prune didn't work on archive-z2 repositories was kind of
embarassing =)  But that's now fixed.

More interesting, on the features side, I've been working on "metalink"
support for use in the Fedora context.  See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalink

OSTree now supports a "metalink=" option for repository locations in
addition to URLs.  However, in order to securely support the model
of fetching just the metalink over HTTPS but retrieving objects over
HTTP, we introduced a new "summary" file that can be pointed to by
the metalink.

The summary file should be considered still potentially subject to
change -
I'm making this release so we can test it in the Fedora context.

Another interesting feature from Anne is the ability to pull subsets of
the tree; we're using this in rpm-ostree to just download the new
RPM database to present admins with a "what's changed" details.

I also like James' commit to show the bytes/second in pull.

Anyways, more details in the shortlog below:
