In order to remove some hackishness in `git annex sync --content`, I
|
||
|
|
finally fixed a bad design decision I made back at the very beginning
|
||
|
|
(before I really knew haskell) when I built the command seek code, which
|
||
|
|
had led to a kind of inversion of control. This took most of a night, but
|
||
|
|
it made a lot of code in git-annex clearer, and it makes the command
|
||
|
|
seeking code much more flexible in what it can do. Some of the oldest, and
|
||
|
|
worst code in git-annex was removed in the process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, I've been reworking the numcopies configuration, to allow for a
|
||
|
|
[[todo/preferred_content_numcopies_check]]. That will let the assistant,
|
||
|
|
as well as `git annex sync --content` proactively make copies when
|
||
|
|
needed in order to satisfy numcopies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As part of this, `git config annex.numcopies` is deprecated, and there's a
|
||
|
|
new `git annex numcopies N` command that sets the numcopies value that will
|
||
|
|
be used by any clone of a repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I got the preferred content checking of numcopies working too. However,
|
||
|
|
I am unsure if checking for per-file .gitattributes annex.numcopies
|
||
|
|
settings will make preferred content expressions be, so I have left
|
||
|
|
that out for now.
