The test suite found a bug; select_ can fail now because a uniqueness
constrain has been added.
Now the test suite passes.
Also, I'm satisfied the changed PersistField instances work.
Looking over what changed, and what I've already tested, Key, FilePath,
and InodeCache are known working; ContentIdentifier is trivial
ByteString to blob; and SSha is trivial String to varchar. Both are
tested by the test suite. I've also tested the new FileSize and
EpochTime instances already, and they work.
Bearing in mind that these indexes are really uniqueness constraints
that just happen to also make sqlite generate indexes.
In Database.ContentIndentifier, the ContentIndentifiersKeyRemoteCidIndex
is fine as a uniqueness constraint because it contains all rows from the
table. The ContentIndentifiersCidRemoteIndex is also ok because there
can only be one key for a given (cid, uuid) combination.
In Database.Export, the new ExportTreeFileKeyIndex is the same pair as
the old ExportTreeKeyFileIndex (previously ExportTreeIndex). And
in Database.Keys.SQL, the new InodeCacheKeyIndex is the same pair as the
old KeyInodeCacheIndex.
Rescued from commit 11d6e2e260 which removed
db benchmarks in favor of benchmarking arbitrary git-annex commands. Which
is nice and general, but microbenchmarks are useful too.
Code change should be trvial, but not yet implemented. This
significantly complicated the task of documenting how git-annex works.
I'm not sure how useful the annex.gitaddtoannex confguration is after
this change; seems that if a user has an annex.largefiles they will want
it applied consistently. But the last thing I want to hear is more
complaining from users about git add doing something they don't want it
to.
There's a pretty high risk users who got used to the git add behavior
and don't have annex.largefiles configured will miss the NEWS and
complain bitterly about their suddenly bloated repositories. Oh well.
Removed outdated comments about the old behavior to avoid confusion.
I don't know if I've found all the places that griping spread to.
Added annex.gitaddtoannex configuration. Setting it to false prevents
git add from usually adding files to the annex.
(Unless the file was annexed before, or a renamed annexed file is detected.)
Currently left at true; some users are encouraging it be set to false.
The only good thing about it is it does not require a major version bump
to improve the database. That will need to happen at some point though.
Potentially very very slow in a large repository.
Ugly use of raw sql.
