Since git-annex unsets these when started, they have to be explicitly
propigated. Also, this makes --git-dir and --work-tree settings be
reflected in the environment.
The need for this came up in
https://github.com/DanielDent/git-annex-remote-rclone/issues/3
I'd prefer to use the env var, but let's use what git currently supports.
Revert this when the env var gets supported.
Note that the version checking assumes git 2.8.2 will get support for the
switch.
git 2.8.1 (or perhaps 2.9.0) is going to prevent git merge from merging in
unrelated branches. Since the webapp's pairing etc features often combine
together repositories with unrelated histories, work around this behavior
change by setting GIT_MERGE_ALLOW_UNRELATED_HISTORIES when the assistant
merges.
Note though that this is not done for git annex sync's merges, so
it will follow git's default or configured behavior.
This is how direct mode does it too, and somehow, for reasons that
currently escape me, this makes git merge not care if it's run with an
empty work tree.
Rationalle: User might have hook scripts whose output they want to see.
Also, git commit output may tell the user they forgot to add a file.
The output is not too ugly when there's nothing to commit.
This makes the direct mode to v6 upgrade able to be performed in one clone
of a repository without affecting other clones, which can continue using v5
and direct mode.
This does mean that it has to write out temp files containing updated
objects for the merge. So may use more disk space, and disk IO, but that
should generally win out over needing to launch N separate
git hash-object processes.
Only reverse adjust the changes in the commit, which means that adjustments
do not need to be generally cleanly reversable.
For example, an adjustment can unlock all locked files, but does not need
to worry about files that were originally unlocked when reversing, because
it will only ever be run on files that have been changed. So, it's ok
if it locks all files when reversed, or even leaves all files as-is when
reversed.
So, it will pull and push the original branch, not the adjusted one.
And, for merging, it will use updateAdjustedBranch (not implemented yet).
Note that remaining uses of Git.Branch.current need to be checked too;
for things that should act on the original branch, and not the adjusted
branch.
extractTree has to parse the whole input list in order to generate a tree,
so convert interface to non-streaming.
Some quick memory benchmarks in a repo with 60k files
don't look too bad despite not streaming.
To stream, without building up a whole tree object, one way would
be a new interface:
adjustTree :: MonadIO m :: (TreeItem -> m (Maybe TreeItem)) -> Ref -> Repo -> m Sha
This would only need to buffer tree objects from the current one down
to the root, in order to update trees when a TreeItem is changed.
But, while it supports changing items in the tree, and removing items,
it does not support adding new items, or moving items from one directory to
another.
Previously, it only flushed when the queue got larger than 1.
Also, make the queue auto-flush when items are added, rather than needing
to be flushed as a separate step. This simplifies the code and make it more
efficient too, as it avoids needing to read the queue out of the state to
check if it should be flushed.
03cb2c8ece put a cat-file into the fast
bloomfilter generation path. Instead, add another bloom filter which diffs
from the work tree to the index.
Also, pull the sha of the changed object out of the diffs, and cat that
object directly, rather than indirecting through the filename.
Finally, removed some hacks that are unncessary thanks to the worktree to
index diff.
