Trying to record screencasts demoing the assistant is really helping me
|
|
see things that need to be fixed.
|
|
|
|
Got the version of the haskell TLS library in Debian fixed, backporting
|
|
some changes to fix a botched security fix that made it reject all
|
|
certificates. So WebDAV special remotes will work again on the next release.
|
|
|
|
Fixed some more problems around content being dropped when files are
|
|
moved to archive directories, and gotten again when files are
|
|
moved out.
|
|
|
|
Fixed some problems around USB drives. One was a real jaw-dropping
|
|
bug: "git annex drop --from usbdrive" when the drive was not
|
|
connected still updated the location log to indicate it did not have
|
|
the file anymore! (Thank goodness for fsck..)
|
|
|
|
I've noticed that moving around files in direct mode repos is inneficient,
|
|
because the assistant re-checksums the "new" file. One way to avoid
|
|
that would be to have a lookup table from (inode, size, mtime) to
|
|
key, but I don't have one, and would like to avoid adding one.
|
|
|
|
Instead, I have a cunning plan to deal with this heuristically. If the
|
|
assistant can notice a file was removed and another file added at the same
|
|
time, it can compare the (inode, size, mtime) to see if it's a rename, and
|
|
avoid the checksum overhead.
|
|
|
|
The first step to getting there was to make the assistant better at
|
|
batching together delete+add events into a single rename commit. I'm happy
|
|
to say I've accomplished that, with no perceptable delay to commits.
