`git annex unused` only looks at tags and branches. Some users would like
|
||
|
|
to drop any objects that are not pointed to by any commit, but keep any
|
||
|
|
object that any commit ever referenced.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This could be a switch, like --ever.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The implementation would need to walk the history of all branches and check
|
||
|
|
all commits. This would tend to be slow. It could look at tags+branches as
|
||
|
|
it does now as a first pass, and only do the slow part if there are objects
|
||
|
|
not referred to by the tags+branches. And, it could stop looking through
|
||
|
|
the whole commit history if there were no more objects to check. Still,
|
||
|
|
gonna be slooow. Another optimisation would be to get only the objects
|
||
|
|
changed by the commit, and not look at the whole tree as it appeared on
|
||
|
|
each commit. --[[Joey]]
