git-remote-annex will be a program that allows push/pull of a git
|
|
repository to any git-annex special remote.
|
|
|
|
This is a redesign and reimplementation of git-remote-datalad-annex.
|
|
It will be a safer implementation, will support incremental pushes, and
|
|
will be available to users who don't use datalad.
|
|
|
|
Work is in the `git-remote-annex` branch, currently we have a design for
|
|
the core data files and operations.
|
|
<http://source.git-annex.branchable.com/?p=source.git;a=blob;f=doc/internals/git-remote-annex.mdwn;hb=git-remote-annex>
|
|
|
|
Also, that branch has a proof of concept implementation in a shell script.
|
|
Though it doesn't yet use special remotes at all, it is able to do
|
|
incremental pushes to git bundles with a manifest.
|
|
|
|
I still need to do some design work around using the git-annex branch to
|
|
detect concurrent push situations where changes to the manifest get lost,
|
|
and re-add those changes to it later.
|
|
|
|
Also, it's not clear what will happen when two people make conflicting pushes
|
|
to a ref, the goal would be to replicate git push to a regular git remote,
|
|
but that may not be entirely possible. This will need to be investigated
|
|
further.
