I've fallen completely out of practice on this dev blog, but I felt I had
|
||||
to mention a major milestone accomplished over the past week. The database
|
||||
that git-annex maintains about keys and worktree files used to only be
|
||||
guaranteed to be maintained for unlocked files, but it did not have
|
||||
information about locked files. Now it does, and it's automatically, and
|
||||
efficiently (I hope) kept up-to-date.
|
||||
|
||||
That let a long-standing bug get fixed, where when 2 files used the same
|
||||
key, the preferred content expression could match one file and not the
|
||||
other and cause get/drop to happen over and over.
|
||||
|
||||
But there are probably a lot of other ways this database could be used, now
|
||||
that's it's fully available. For example, it would be easy to write a
|
||||
git-annex command that queries for which worktree files use a key, without
|
||||
needing to scan the whole worktree to find them.
