Seems that the recent release of git 2.13.0 contained a reversion that
|
|
broke `git-annex sync` in an adjusted branch. After bisecting git,
|
|
producing a minimal test case, and reporting that to the git developers, I
|
|
was able to work around it in git-annex. The workaround is normally not
|
|
expensive, but could be when a repository has thousands of unpacked refs.
|
|
So I hope this will get fixed in git and I can remove the workaround.
|
|
|
|
I think I will hurry up the next git-annex release somewhat to get the
|
|
workaround out. It's not a super bad bug, but it does make the test suite
|
|
fail and I've already had 3 people report the problem.
|
|
|
|
Seems it would be good to have an integration test that runs git-annex's
|
|
test suite against new commits to git. Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason has stepped
|
|
up to add that to git's test suite.

Also, I dealt with some fallout from removing MissingH; a exponential
|
|
speed blowup in a directory traversal function.
|
|
|
|
Getting back to the ssh password prompting with -J I was working on last
|
|
week, dealt with the ssh prompt interfering with the regional display
|
|
manager. The fix is not perfect, but good enough; before ssh prompts (and
|
|
only if it prompts), git-annex temporarily clears the regional display.
|
|
Then the display gets redrawn under the ssh output. That needed some
|
|
changes to concurrent-output (which I did over the weekend), so will only
|
|
be done when it's built with a new enough version. A better approach would
|
|
be to save and restore the cursor position, but the ansi-terminal library
|
|
does not yet support that.
