News for git-annex 8.20200226:
|
|
|
|
This version of git-annex uses repository version 8 for all repositories.
|
|
Existing repositories will be automatically upgraded by default.
|
|
You can prevent this, by runing: git config annex.autoupgraderepository false
|
|
The upgrade process involves regenerating some sqlite databases. There are a
|
|
couple consequences of the upgrade to keep in mind:
|
|
|
|
* Any incremental fscks that were started in v7 won't resume where
|
|
they left off in v8, but will instead begin again from the first file.
|
|
|
|
* An interrupted export that was started in v7 won't resume where it left
|
|
off after upgrade to v8; files will be re-uploaded to the export remote.
|
|
|
|
* After the upgrade, git-annex will in some situations have to do extra
|
|
work while it finishes populating its sqlite databases.
|
|
|
|
Also, there are some behavior changes around adding dotfiles. While before
|
|
git-annex add skipped adding dotfiles when operating on whole directories,
|
|
and added dotfiles that were explicitly listed to the annex, it now adds
|
|
dotfiles to git by default, unless annex.dotfiles is set to true.

|
|
* New v8 repository version.
|
|
* v7 upgrades automatically to v8. The upgrade deletes old sqlite
|
|
databases, which may cause git-annex to need to do extra work to
|
|
regenerate the databases or due to not having the information from the
|
|
old databases available. Two notable cases are interrupted incremental
|
|
fscks and interrupted exports, both of which will restart from the
|
|
beginning.
|
|
* Improved serialization of filenames and keys to the sqlite databases,
|
|
avoiding encoding problems and speeding up operations on them.
|
|
* Add some missing indexes to sqlite databases. This will speed up
|
|
some things involving export and import remotes, and git-annex smudge.
|
|
Microbenchmarks show around 10-25% speedup of sqlite database operations.
|
|
* add: When adding a whole directory, any dotfiles found in it will
|
|
not be skipped, but will be added to git by default. This behavior
|
|
can be configured with annex.dotfiles.
|
|
* add: Removed special case for explicitly passing dotfiles,
|
|
that no longer adds them to the annex, but to git. This behavior
|
|
can be configured with annex.dotfiles.
|
|
* add: Removed the --include-dotfiles option.
|
|
* initremote, enableremote: Set remote.name.skipFetchAll when
|
|
the remote cannot be fetched from by git, so git fetch --all
|
|
will not try to use it.
|
|
* Fix some cases where handling of keys with extensions varied depending
|
|
on the locale.
|
|
* annex.maxextensionlength used to be the number of characters, not
|
|
bytes, when in a utf-8 locale. It's now always the number of bytes.
|
|
* Extended annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses to let specific ports
|
|
of an IP address to be used, while denying use of other ports.
|
|
* init --version: When the version given is one that automatically
|
|
upgrades to a newer version, use the newer version instead.
|
|
* Auto upgrades from older repo versions, like v5, now jump right to v8.
|
|
* Makefile: Support newer versions of cabal that use the new-build system."""]]
