* Bugfix: Direct mode no longer repeatedly checksums duplicated files.Gravatar Joey Hess2013-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed by storing a list of cached inodes for a key, instead of just one. Backwards compatability note: An old git-annex version will fail to parse an inode cache file that has been written by a new version, and has multiple items. It will succees if just one. So old git-annexes will have even worse behavior when there are duplicated files, if that is possible. I don't think it will be a problem. (Famous last words.) Also, note that it doesn't expire old and unused inode caches for a key. It would be possible to add this if needed; just look through the associated files for a key and if there are more cached inodes, throw out any not corresponding to associated files. Unless a file is being copied repeatedly and the old copy deleted, this lack of expiry should not be a problem.
