This will speed up the common case where a Key is deserialized from
disk, but is then serialized to build eg, the path to the annex object.
Previously attempted in 4536c93bb2
and reverted in 96aba8eff7.
The problems mentioned in the latter commit are addressed now:
Read/Show of KeyData is backwards-compatible with Read/Show of Key from before
this change, so Types.Distribution will keep working.
The Eq instance is fixed.
Also, Key has smart constructors, avoiding needing to remember to update
the cached serialization.
Used git-annex benchmark:
find is 7% faster
whereis is 3% faster
get when all files are already present is 5% faster
Generally, the benchmarks are running 0.1 seconds faster per 2000 files,
on a ram disk in my laptop.
Note from Joey:
git-annex still supports git 2.1, but operates in a degraded fashion.
It would be better for backports of the debian package to also
backport a newer git. This dependency is mostly expressing that,
also that any users who might upgrade git-annex should also upgrade
git.
Also worth noting that the i386ancient autobuilder has git 2.1 on it
(best I have been able to manage there), but luckily the epoch is
bumped to 2, so the dependencies will still be satisfied.
Used to work but was broken in version 7.20181031, specifically commit
5ab0f48ffb.
That this was not noticed over at least 1 daylight savings time zone
changes makes me wonder if the TSDelta stuff is still needed.
Perhaps the mtime on Windows no longer changes when the time zone is changed?
(cherry picked from commit 09ee6b0ccb)
* benchmark: Changed --databases to take a parameter specifiying the size
of the database to benchmark.
* benchmark --databases: Display size of the populated database.
* benchmark --databases: Improve the "addAssociatedFile to (new)"
benchmark to really add new values, not overwriting old values.
Eliminated some dead code. In other cases, exported a currently unused
function, since it was a logical part of the API.
Of course this improves the API documentation. It may also sometimes
let ghc optimize code better, since it can know a function is internal
to a module.
364 modules still to go, according to
git grep -E 'module [A-Za-z.]+ where'
It's not necessary. And if the bare repo somehow has a pointer
file in it with the same name as a file in HEAD, that file would be
populated, which would be surprising since the file is not really under
git's control.
Eg:
git clone url --bare r
git --git-dir r annex init
This resulted in worktree = Just "." and so several things that check
worktree to determine when the repo is bare ran code paths intended for
non-bare. One such code path[1] ran git checkout with --worktree=. which
actually makes it ignore core.bare config, and so the current directory
got populated with a checkout of the master branch in this example. There
was probably also other breakage.
The fix is a bit complicated because whether the repo is bare is not
known until after Git.Config reads the config, but Git.Config handles
setting the RepoLocations's worktree when core.worktree is set. So have
to assume the worktree is the cwd, let core.worktree override that,
and then if the repo turns out to be bare, it's set back to Nothing.
(And then GIT_WORK_TREE can still override all of that.)
[1] switchHEADBack, which runs even when the clone is not from a bare repo.
* git-lfs: The url provided to initremote/enableremote will now be
stored in the git-annex branch, allowing enableremote to be used without
an url. initremote --sameas can be used to add additional urls.
* git-lfs: When there's a git remote with an url that's known to be
used for git-lfs, automatically enable the special remote.
