The main one was odd behavior +of the assistant when the repository was in manual mode. A recent change to +the preferred content expression caused it. But the expression was not +broken. The problem was in the parser, which got the parentheses wrong +in this case. I had to mostly rewrite the parser, unfortunately. I've tested +the new one fairly extensively -- on the other hand this bug lurked in the +old parser for several years (this same code is used for matching files +with command-line parameters). + +Just as I finished with that, I noticed another bug. Turns out git-cat-file +doesn't reload the index after it's started. So last week's changes to make +git-annex check the state of files in the index won't work when using the +assistant. Luckily there was an easy workaround for this. + +Today I finished up some robustness fixes, and added to the test suite +checks for preferred content expressions, manual mode, etc. + +I've started a stress test, syncing 2 repositories over XMPP, with the fuzz +tester running in each to create lots of changes to keep in sync. |
