The `cabal install` is happy as long as the files it needs are
present, but `cabal sdist` will only package up files you tell it to.
So, generate the source tarball ourselves.
The source tarball is generated by make-sdist.sh, which uses cabal
sdist to calculate the package name. Could also generate the name
from the 'Version:' field in git-annex.cabal.
I have a new idea: instead of the template-based approaches that work
around cabals requirement that you list all files to put in the sdist,
we can simply generate the sdist ourselves, with the files we
want. Take that cabal!
The commit thread now has access to a channel containing the times of
all uncommitted changes. This lets it be smart about detecting busy times
when a batch job is running (such as rm -rf, or untarring something, etc),
and avoid committing until it's done. While at the same time, instantly
committing one-off changes that the user is going to expect to see
immediately.
I had to use STM to implement the channel, because of
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4154
While this adds a dependency, I always wanted to use STM, so this actually
makes me happy. ;)
Also happy that shouldCommit is a pure function, so other commit smartness
strategies can easily be played with. Although the current one seems pretty
good.
There is one bug, for some reason it does double commits, every time.
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.
* git-annex now behaves as git-annex-shell if symlinked to and run by that
name. The Makefile sets this up, saving some 8 mb of installed size.
* git-union-merge is a demo program, so it is no longer built by default.
Add tuning, docs, etc.
Not sure if status is the right place to remote size.. perhaps unused
should report the size and also warn if it sees more keys than the bloom
filter allows?
