The tricky part about this is that to generate a key, the file must be
present already. Worked around by adding (back) an URL key type, which
is used for addurl --fast.
The only remaining vestiage of backends is different types of keys. These
are still called "backends", mostly to avoid needing to change user interface
and configuration. But everything to do with storing keys in different
backends was gone; instead different types of remotes are used.
In the refactoring, lots of code was moved out of odd corners like
Backend.File, to closer to where it's used, like Command.Drop and
Command.Fsck. Quite a lot of dead code was removed. Several data structures
became simpler, which may result in better runtime efficiency. There should
be no user-visible changes.
get not honoring --from has surprised me a few times, so least surprise
suggests it should just behave like copy --from. This leaves the difference
between get and copy being that copy always requires the remote to copy
from, while get will decide whether to get a file from a key/value store or
a remote.
Goal is to support multiple different types of remotes, some of which
are not git repositories. To that end, added a Remote class, and moved
git remote specific code into Remote.GitRemote.
Remotes.hs is still present as some code has not been converted to use the
new Remote class yet.
Add --fast flag, that can enable less expensive, but also less thurough versions of some commands.
* Add --fast flag, that can enable less expensive, but also less thurough
versions of some commands.
* fsck: In fast mode, avoid checking checksums.
* unused: In fast mode, just show all existing temp files as unused,
and avoid expensive scan for other unused content.
It compiles. It sorta works. Several subcommands are FIXME marked and
broken, because things that used to accept separate --backend and --key
params need to be changed to accept just a --key that encodes all the key
info, now that there is metadata in keys.
Based on http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3307 ,
whether FilePath contains decoded unicode varies by OS.
So, add a configure check for it.
Also, renamed showFile to filePathToString
Internally, the filenames are stored as un-decoded unicode.
I tried decoding them, but then haskell tries to access the wrong files.
Hmm.
So, I've unhappily chosen option "B", which is to decode filenames before
they are displayed.
