Wrote a draft [[design/external_backend_protocol]].
|
|
|
|
I wonder if it makes sense to require the programs to format and parse
|
|
their own keys; git-annex could break up the key and send the peices in.
|
|
The advantage though is that this lets a program decide whether or not to
|
|
include information like the size and mtime fields in the key or not.
|
|
And if more fields ever got added it would not need changes to the
|
|
protocol. I guess it's simple enough for format and parse, as shown by the
|
|
example shell program that does it.
