Add to git-annex unused a --history or similar switch, that makes it look at
|
||
|
|
the full history of all specified refs, and only consider files unused if
|
||
|
|
they never appeared in a git commit at all.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This would, like `git gc`, find files that were added, but then
|
||
|
|
deleted/changed before being committed. Which git-annex unused already
|
||
|
|
does, but it also finds files in past versions. If the user wants to keep
|
||
|
|
past versions, but gc any dangling objects, this would be useful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To traverse the whole history and get the list of changes, could use `git
|
||
|
|
log --raw`. That is reasonably performant but then it needs to feed every
|
||
|
|
sha into cat-file to find the annex objects, which would probably take a
|
||
|
|
while. Alternatively perhaps git log --diff and parsing might be faster.
