@ -23,13 +23,27 @@ git-annex should use smudge/clean filters.
(May need to use libgit2 to do this efficiently, cannot find
any plumbing except git-update-index, which is very inneficient for
smudged files.)
* Checking out a different branch causes git to smudge all changed files,
and write their content. This does not honor annex.thin.
and write their content. This does not honor annex.thin. A warning
message is printed in this case.
This is particularly wasteful when checking out an adjusted unlocked
branch, which causes 2x the space to be used.
Seems worth having a "git annex checkout" that's like "git checkout"
to change branches, and honors annex.thin. And, `git annex adjust`
could use the same thing internally when checking out an adjusted branch.
"git annex proxy" could be used to handle this.
Make it run the git command with smudge filters disabled and then
scan through the changed files in the work tree, and update pointer files
to be hard links to their content.
git-annex adjust and git-annex sync could both use that internally
when checking out the adjusted branch, and merging a branch into HEAD.
Since this approach modifies work tree files, it again causes git status
to think files are modified. So, the above todo item about that needs to
be sorted out first; it would not do for git annex adjust to cause
the whole work tree to be considered to be modified!
* Eventually (but not yet), make v6 the default for new repositories.
Note that the assistant forces repos into direct mode; that will need to
be changed then, and it should enable annex.thin instead.
