I'm excited by this new design
|
||
|
|
[[todo/accellerate_ssh_remotes_with_git-annex-shell_mass_protocol]].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git-annex's use of rsync got transfers over ssh working quickly early on,
|
||
|
|
but other than resuming interrupted transfers, using rsync doesn't really
|
||
|
|
gain git-annex much, since annexed objects don't change over time. And
|
||
|
|
rsync has always involved a certian amount of overhead that a custom
|
||
|
|
protocol would avoid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's especially handy that such a protocol was already developed for
|
||
|
|
`git-annex p2p` when using tor. I've not heard of a lot of people using that
|
||
|
|
feature (but maybe people who do have reason not to talk about it), but
|
||
|
|
it's a good solid thing, implemented very generically with a free monad,
|
||
|
|
and reusing it for git-annex-shell would be great.
