Finish "git annex watch" command, which runs, in the background, watching via
|
|
inotify for changes, and automatically annexing new files, etc.
|
|
|
|
There is a `watch` branch in git that adds such a command, although currently
|
|
it only handles adding new files, and nothing else. To make this really
|
|
useful, it needs to:
|
|
|
|
- notice deleted files and stage the deletion
|
|
(tricky; there's a race with add..)
|
|
- notice renamed files, auto-fix the symlink, and stage the new file location
|
|
- periodically auto-commit staged changes (avoid autocommitting when
|
|
lots of changes are coming in)
|
|
- tunable delays before adding new files, etc
|
|
- honor .gitignore, not adding files it excludesa
|
|
|
|
Also to do:
|
|
|
|
- Support OSes other than Linux; it only uses inotify currently.
|
|
OSX and FreeBSD use the same mechanism, and there is a Haskell interface
|
|
for it,
