I even got it +to work for whole directory renames. I can drag files around all day in the +file manager and the assistant often finishes committing the rename before +the file manager updates. So much better than checksumming every single +renamed file! Also, this means the assistant makes just 1 commit when a +whole directory is renamed. + +Last night I added a feature to `git annex status`. It can now be asked to +only show the status of a single directory, rather than the whole annex. +All the regular file filtering switches work, so some neat commands +are possible. I like `git annex status . --in foo --not --in bar` to see +how much data is in one remote but not another. + +This morning, an important thought about [[bugs/smarter_flood_filling]], +that will avoid unnecessary uploads to transfer remotes when all that's +needed to get the file to its destination is a transfer over the LAN. +I found an easy way to make that work, at least in simple cases. +Hoping to implement it soon. + +Less fun, direct mode turns out to be somewhat buggy when files with +duplicate content are in the repository. Nothing fails, but `git annex +sync` will re-checksum files each time it's run in this situation, and the +assistant will re-checksum files in certian cases. Need to work on this +soon too. |
