One of my reasons for using haskell was that it provides the possibility of
|
|
some parallell processing. Although since git-annex hits the filesystem
|
|
heavily and mostly runs other git commands, maybe not a whole lot.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, each git-annex command is broken down into a series of independant
|
|
actions, which has some potential for parallelism.
|
|
|
|
Each action has 3 distinct phases, basically "check", "perform", and
|
|
"cleanup". The perform actions are probably parellizable; the cleanup may be
|
|
(but not if it has to run git commands to stage state; it can queue
|
|
commands though); the check should be easily parallelizable, although they
|
|
may access the disk or run minor git query commands, so would probably not
|
|
want to run too many of them at once.
