Switch to Data.Map.Strict everywhere that used it.
There are still lots of lazy maps in git-annex. I think switching these
is safe. The risk is that there might be a map that is used in a way
that relies on the values not being evaluated to WHNF, and switching to
strict might result in bad performance or memory use. So, I have not
switched everything.
Can be used to override the default timestamps used in log files in the
git-annex branch. This is a dangerous environment variable; use with
caution.
Note that this only affects writing to the logs on the git-annex branch.
It is not used for metadata in git commits (other env vars can be set for
that).
There are many other places where timestamps are still used, that don't
get committed to git, but do touch disk. Including regular timestamps
of files, and timestamps embedded in some files in .git/annex/, including
the last fsck timestamp and timestamps in transfer log files.
A good way to find such things in git-annex is to get for getPOSIXTime and
getCurrentTime, although some of the results are of course false positives
that never hit disk (unless git-annex gets swapped out..)
So this commit does NOT necessarily make git-annex comply with some HIPPA
privacy regulations; it's up to the user to determine if they can use it in
a way compliant with such regulations.
Benchmarking: It takes 0.00114 milliseconds to call getEnv
"GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK" when that env var is not set. So, 100 thousand log
files can be written with an added overhead of only 0.114 seconds. That
should be by far swamped by the actual overhead of writing the log files
and making the commit containing them.
This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
This fixes strange displays in some cases, including whereis showing
many duplicate locations, and showing more total copies than actually
exist.
It's unknown if that lead to data loss when eg, dropping. At the moment,
it seems unlikely it could, since the UUID with \r's appended is not the
same as a UUID without, and so no remote matches it.
It's also unknown if \r's can leak in on windows, perhaps when merging the
git-annex branch.
Found these with:
git grep "^ " $(find -type f -name \*.hs) |grep -v ': where'
Unfortunately there is some inline hamlet that cannot use tabs for
indentation.
Also, Assistant/WebApp/Bootstrap3.hs is a copy of a module and so I'm
leaving it as-is.
