Woke up this morning with most of the design for a smarter approach to
|
|
[[syncing]] in my head. (This is why I sometimes slip up and tell people I
|
|
work on this project 12 hours a day..)
|
|
|
|
To keep the current `assistant` branch working while I make changes
|
|
that break use cases that are working, I've started
|
|
developing in a new branch, `assistant-wip`.
|
|
|
|
In it, I've started getting rid of unnecessary expensive transfer scans.
|
|
|
|
First optimisation I've done is to detect when a remote that was
|
|
disconnected has diverged its `git-annex` branch from the local branch.
|
|
Only when that's the case does a new transfer scan need to be done, to find
|
|
out what new stuff might be available on that remote, to have caused the
|
|
change to its branch, while it was disconnected.
|
|
|
|
That broke a lot of stuff. I have a plan to fix it written down in
|
|
[[syncing]]. It'll involve keeping track of whether a transfer scan has
|
|
ever been done (if not, one should be run), and recording logs when
|
|
transfers failed, so those failed transfers can be retried when the
|
|
remote gets reconnected.
