The `bs` branch has reached a milestone: `git-annex find` and `git-annex
|
||
|
|
get` (when all files are present) process ByteStrings end-to-end with
|
||
|
|
no String conversion. That sped it up by around 30% on top of the previous
|
||
|
|
optimisations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To get here, I spent a couple of days creating the
|
||
|
|
[filepath-bytestring](https://joeyh.name/blog/entry/announcing_the_filepath-bytestring_haskell_library/)
|
||
|
|
library, which git-annex will depend on. Lots more git-annex internals
|
||
|
|
were switched to ByteString, especially everything having to do with
|
||
|
|
statting files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other commands, like `git-annex whereis`, still do some String
|
||
|
|
conversions. Optimisation never ends.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But the bs branch is ready to merge as-is, and the diff is 10 thousand lines,
|
||
|
|
so not a branch I want to maintain for long. Planning to merge it after
|
||
|
|
the next release.
