Hello everyone,
I would like to know if this is normal behavior or if it's a problem with my repository:
Whenever I set a view with
git annex view attr="\*"'
a new branch representing the selected view gets created, as expected. The problem is that when I switch back to master ('git checkout master' or even 'git annex vpop') the view branch stays there, and all subsequent operations on the annex also consider the view branch, resulting a great slowdown if one has done many views (attr="this", attr="that", etc.). Is this normal? If so, why is it necessary for the branch to stay on? Does it speed up going back to the branch? Redoing git annex view attr="*" does not seem to take less time.
Am I doing it wrong? Should I be deleting used view branches on my own? How?
thanks for your replies.
