(May need to use libgit2 to do this efficiently, cannot find any plumbing except git-update-index, which is very inneficient for smudged files.) +* Checking out a different branch causes git to smudge all changed files, + and write their content. This does not honor annex.thin. + This is particularly wasteful when checking out an adjusted unlocked + branch, which causes 2x the space to be used. + Seems worth having a "git annex checkout" that's like "git checkout" + to change branches, and honors annex.thin. And, `git annex adjust` + could use the same thing internally when checking out an adjusted branch. * Eventually (but not yet), make v6 the default for new repositories. Note that the assistant forces repos into direct mode; that will need to be changed then, and it should enable annex.thin instead. |
