The last branch ref that the index was updated to is stored in
.git/annex/index.lck, and the index only updated when the current
branch ref differs.
(The .lck file should later be used for locking too.)
Some more optimization is still needed, since there is some redundancy in
calls to git show-ref.
Directory special remotes will now always store keys in the lowercase name,
which avoids the complication of catching failures to create the mixed case
name.
Git remotes using http will now try the lowercase name first.
When storing content in bare repositories, use the hashDirLower
directories. Bare repositories can be on USB drives, which might
use the FAT filesystem, and fall afoul of recent bugs in linux's handling
of mixed case on FAT. Using hashDirLower avoids that.
Supporting multiple directory hash types will allow converting to a
different one, without a flag day.
gitAnnexLocation now checks which of the possible locations have a file.
This means more statting of files. Several places currently use
gitAnnexLocation and immediately check if the returned file exists;
those need to be optimised.
Many functions took the repo as their first parameter. Changing it
consistently to be the last parameter allows doing some useful things with
currying, that reduce boilerplate.
In particular, g <- gitRepo is almost never needed now, instead
use inRepo to run an IO action in the repo, and fromRepo to get
a value from the repo.
This also provides more opportunities to use monadic and applicative
combinators.
git is slow when the index file is large and has to be rewritten each time
a file is changed. To speed this up, added a journal where changes are
recorded before being fed into the index file and committed to the
git-annex branch. The entire journal can be fed into git with just 2
commands, and only one write of the index file.
to avoid some issues with git on OSX with the mixed-case directories. No
migration is needed; the old mixed case hash directories are still read;
new information is written to the new directories.
This means there can be 1024 subdirs, each with up to 1024 sub-subdirs.
So with hundreds of millions of annexed objects, each leaf directory will
have only a few files on average.
It compiles. It sorta works. Several subcommands are FIXME marked and
broken, because things that used to accept separate --backend and --key
params need to be changed to accept just a --key that encodes all the key
info, now that there is metadata in keys.
This relies on git-annex's behavior of reading the config of local repos.
That allows repoIsLocalBare to examine the git config for core.bare.
Hopefully, gitAnnexLocation, gitAnnexDir, and gitAnnexObjectDir
are only used on local repos. But, I have not audited fully, since
they're probably not (see for example copyToRemote). And so,
the functions fall back to their old non-bare-aware behavior for
non-local repos.
* Improved temp file handling. Transfers of content can now be resumed
from temp files later; the resume does not have to be the immediate
next git-annex run.
* unused: Include partially transferred content in the list.
Rename Locations functions for better consitency, and make their values
more consistent too.
Used </> rather than manually building paths. There are still more places
that manually do so, but are tricky, due to the behavior of </> when
the second FilePath is absolute. So I only changed places where
it obviously was relative.
* fsck: Check if annex.numcopies is satisfied.
* fsck: Verify the sha1 of files when the SHA1 backend is used.
* fsck: Verify the size of files when the WORM backend is used.
* fsck: Allow specifying individual files to fsk if fscking everything
is not desired.
* fsck: Fix bug, introduced in 0.04, in detection of unused data.
