For example, this could happen if using SHA1 and a file with content
"foo" were added to that backend. Then a file with "content" foo were
migrated from the WORM backend.
Assume that, if a backend assigned the same key, the already annexed
content must be the same. So, the "old" content can be reused.
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.
Free space checking is now done, for transfers of data for keys that have free space metadata.
(Notably, not for SHA* keys generated with git-annex 0.24 or earlier.)
The code is believed to work on Linux, FreeBSD, and OSX; check compile-time
messages to see if it is not enabled for your OS.
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.
When adding files to the annex, the symlinks pointing at the annexed
content are made to have the same mtime as the original file. While git
does not preserve that information, this allows a tool like metastore to be
used with annexed files.
This assumes that changes to content in bare repos are made from some
non-bare repo, and that the location log is updated on that side.
That's true for move --from and move --to.
It's *not* true for dropkey and setkey and recvkey. But those are plumbing
level commands, so I guess it's ok to assume that someone running those
in a bare repo knows what they're doing. And git-annex-shell is used to
run those, and if the bare repo is non-local, it needs to be able to use
them even though they cannot update the location log. So this seems
unavoidable.
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.
