In the `delaysmudge` branch, I've implemented the delayed worktree update in
|
||
|
|
the post-merge/post-checkout hooks for v6. It works very well!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In particular, with annex.thin set, checking out a branch
|
||
|
|
containing a huge unlocked file does a fast hard link to the file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remaining problem before merging that is, how to get the new hooks installed? Of
|
||
|
|
course `git annex init` and `git annex upgrade` install them, but I know plenty
|
||
|
|
of people have v6 repositories already, without those hooks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, would it be better to bump up to v7 and install the hooks on that upgrade,
|
||
|
|
or stay on v6 and say that it was, after all, experimental up until now, and
|
||
|
|
so the minor bother of needing to run `git annex init` in existing v6 repositories
|
||
|
|
is acceptable? If the version is bumped to v7, that will cause some pain
|
||
|
|
for users of older versions of git-annex that won't support it, but those old
|
||
|
|
versions also have pretty big gaps in their support for v6. I'm undecided,
|
||
|
|
but leaning toward v7, even though it will also mean a lot of work to update
|
||
|
|
all the documentation, as well as needing changes to projects like datalad that use
|
||
|
|
git-annex. Feedback on this decision is welcomed below...
