Andrew Wringler has released

[git-annex-turtle](https://github.com/andrewringler/git-annex-turtle)
|
|
which provides Apple Finder integration for git-annex on macOS,
|
|
including custom badge icons, contextual menus and a Menubar icon.
|
|
This looks really nice!

I've completed the P2P protocol with git-annex-shell. It turned out just as
|
|
fast and good as I'd hoped.
|
|
[[todo/accellerate_ssh_remotes_with_git-annex-shell_mass_protocol]] has the
|
|
benchmark details.
|
|
|
|
Even transferring of large files speeds up somewhat;
|
|
git-annex is actually faster than rsync at shoving bytes down a pipe.
|
|
(Though rsync still wins in lots of other benchmarks I'm sure.)
|
|
|
|
Surprisingly, in one benchmark, I found accessing a repository on localhost
|
|
via ssh is now slightly *faster* than accessing that same repository by
|
|
path. I think that this is because when git-annex is talking to
|
|
git-annex-ssh, the programs run on different CPU cores, so there's some
|
|
extra concurrency.
|
|
|
|
There are still some implementation todos, some of which will make it
|
|
faster yet, and others involving potential edge cases. This is a big change
|
|
and will need some time to be considered stable.
