To facilitate merging, the Android patches are now applied to the svn trunk. The encfs svn repository has been imported into cryptonite's git repository to preserve the commit history (see e.g. [1]). Thanks for removing the Boost dependency in the latest code. It greatly simplifies building encfs for Android.
