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?
Much of the memory bloat turned out to be due to getKeysReferenced
containing a mapM, which is strict and buffered the whole list
rather than streaming it.
The other half of the bloat was due to building a temporary Set
in order to call S.difference. While that is more cpu efficient,
I switched to successive S.delete, since with it, I can run a whole
git annex unused in less than 8 mb of memory.
The whole Set of keys with content available is still stored in memory,
so running unused in a repo with a whole lot of file content will still
use more memory. In a repo containing 6000 files, it needed 40 mb.
Note that the status command still uses the bloatful getKeysReferenced.
Locking is used, so that, if there are multiple git-annex processes
using a remote concurrently, the stop hook is only run by the last
process that uses it.
Avoiding writing files larger than a specified size is useful on certian
things. For example, box.com has a file size limit of 100 mb. Could also
be useful on really crappy removable media.
Added Annex.cleanup, which is a general purpose interface for adding
actions to run at the end.
Remotes with the old git-annex-shell will commit every time, and have no
commit command, so hide stderr when running the commit command.
Eventually, git-annex might try running this after making changes to
a remote. I have not yet thought of a good way for it to tell which
remotes it needs to run it on though. It can't just do it when
shutting down a cached ssh connection, because ssh connection caching
is optional, and that would not handle local remotes not accessed over ssh
either.
To avoid commits of data to the git-annex branch after each command
is run, set annex.alwayscommit=false. Its data will then be committed
less frequently, when a merge or sync is done.
