Since my last blog, I've been polishing the `git annex watch` command.
First, I fixed the double commits problem. There's still some extra
committing going on in the `git-annex` branch that I don't understand. It
seems like a shutdown event is somehow being triggered whenever
a git command is run by the commit thread.
I also made `git annex watch` run as a proper daemon, with locking to
prevent multiple copies running, and a pid file, and everything.
I made `git annex watch --stop` stop it.
---
Then I managed to greatly increase its startup speed. At startup, it
generates "add" events for every symlink in the tree. This is necessary
because it doesn't really know if a symlink is already added, or was
manually added before it starter, or indeed was added while it started up.
Problem was that these events were causing a lot of work staging the
symlinks -- most of which were already correctly staged.
You'd think it could just check if the same symlink was in the index.
But it can't, because the index is in a constant state of flux. The
symlinks might have just been deleted and re-added, or changed, and
the index still have the old value.
Instead, I got creative. :) We can't trust what the index says about the
symlink, but if the index happens to contian a symlink that looks right,
we can trust that the SHA1 of its blob is the right SHA1, and reuse it
when re-staging the symlink. Wham! Massive speedup!
---
Then I started running `git annex watch` on my own real git annex repos,
and noticed some problems.. Like it turns normal files already checked into
git into symlinks. And it leaks memory scanning a big tree. Oops..
---
I put together a quick screencast demoing `git annex watch`.
<video controls src="http://joeyh.name/screencasts/git-annex-watch.ogg"></video>
While making the screencast, I noticed that `git-annex watch` was spinning
in strace, which is bad news for powertop and battery usage. This seems to
be a [GHC bug](http://bugs.debian.org/677096) also affecting Xmonad. I
tried switching to GHC's threaded runtime, which solves that problem, but
causes git-annex to hang under heavy load. Tried to debug that for quite a
while, but didn't get far. Will need to investigate this further..
Am seeing indications that this problem only affects ghc 7.4.1; in
particular 7.4.2 does not seem to have the problem.

## Deeper system integration
[NTFS Reparse Points](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365503%28v=VS.85%29.aspx) allow a program to define how the OS will interpret a file or directory in arbitrary ways. This requires writing a file system filter.

git-annex 3.20120418 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* bugfix: Adding a dotfile also caused all non-dotfiles to be added.
* bup: Properly handle key names with spaces or other things that are
not legal git refs.
* git-annex (but not git-annex-shell) supports the git help.autocorrect
configuration setting, doing fuzzy matching using the restricted
Damerau-Levenshtein edit distance, just as git does. This adds a build
dependency on the haskell edit-distance library.
* Renamed diskfree.c to avoid OSX case insensativity bug.
* cabal now installs git-annex-shell as a symlink to git-annex.
* cabal file now autodetects whether S3 support is available."""]]
