A common complaint is that `git annex fsck` in a bare repository complains
|
|
about missing content of deleted files. That's because in a bare
|
|
repository, git-annex operates on all versions of all files. Today I added
|
|
a --branch option, so if you only want to check say, the master branch, you
|
|
can: `git annex fsck --branch master`
|
|
|
|
The new option has other uses too. Want to get all the files in the v1.0
|
|
tag? `git annex get --branch v1.0`
|
|
|
|
It might be worth revisiting the implicit --all behavior for bare
|
|
repositories. It could instead default to --branch HEAD or something like
|
|
that. But I'd only want to change that if there was a strong consensus in
|
|
favor.
|
|
|
|
Over 3/4th of the time spent implementing --branch was spent in
|
|
adjusting the output of commands, to show "branch:file" is being
|
|
operated on. How annoying.
