Started by tracking down a strange bug that was apparently
|
|
ubuntu-specific and caused git-annex branch changes to get committed to
|
|
master. Root cause turned out to failing to recover from an
|
|
exception. I'm kicking myself about that, because I remember looking at the
|
|
code where the bug was at least twice before and thinking "hmm, should add
|
|
exception handling here? nah..". Exceptions are horrible.
|
|
|
|
Made a release with a fix for that and a few minor other accumulated
|
|
changes since last Friday's release. The pain point of this release is to
|
|
fix building without the webapp (so it will propigate to Debian testing,
|
|
etc). This release does not include the direct mode guard, so I'll have a
|
|
few weeks until the next release to get that tested.
|
|
|
|
Fixed the test suite in `directguard`. This branch is now nearly ready to
|
|
merge to master, but one command that is badly needed in guarded direct
|
|
mode is "git status". So I am planning to rename "git annex status" to
|
|
"git annex info", and make "git annex status" display something similar
|
|
to "git status".
|
|
|
|
Also took half an hour and added optional [[EKG]] support to git-annex.
|
|
This is a Haskell library that can add a terrific monitoring console web
|
|
UI to any program in 2 lines of code. Here we can see the git-annex
|
|
webapp using resources at startup, followed in a few seconds by the
|
|
assistant's startup scan of the repository.

|
BTW, Kevin tells me that the machine used to build git-annex for OSX is
|
|
going to be upgraded to 10.9 soon. So, hopefully I'll be making autobuilds
|
|
of that. I may have to stop the 10.8.2 autobuilds though.
