* rationalize getConfigGravatar Joey Hess2012-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | getConfig got a remote-specific config, and this confusing name caused it to be used a couple of places that only were interested in global configs. Rename to getRemoteConfig and make getConfig only get global configs. There are no behavior changes here, but remote.<name>.annex-web-options never actually worked (and per-remote web options is a very unlikely to be useful case so I didn't make it work), so fix the documentation for it.

* finish bloom filtersGravatar Joey Hess2012-03-12
| | | | | | | | Add tuning, docs, etc. Not sure if status is the right place to remote size.. perhaps unused should report the size and also warn if it sees more keys than the bloom filter allows?
* add remote start and stop hooksGravatar Joey Hess2012-03-04
| | | | | | Locking is used, so that, if there are multiple git-annex processes using a remote concurrently, the stop hook is only run by the last process that uses it.
* "here" can be used to refer to the current repository, which can read better ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2012-03-01
| | | | than the old "." (which still works too).
* configure: Check if ssh connection caching is supported by the installed ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2012-02-25
| | | | version of ssh and default annex.sshcaching accordingly.
* add annex.alwayscommit optionGravatar Joey Hess2012-02-25
| | | | | | To avoid commits of data to the git-annex branch after each command is run, set annex.alwayscommit=false. Its data will then be committed less frequently, when a merge or sync is done.

* addurl: Add --pathdepth option.Gravatar Joey Hess2012-02-16

* Added a annex.queuesize settingGravatar Joey Hess2012-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | useful when adding hundreds of thousands of files on a system with plenty of memory. git add gets quite slow in such a large repository, so if the system has more than the ~32 mb of memory the queue can use by default, it's a useful optimisation to increase the queue size, in order to decrease the number of times git add is run.
* addurl: Added a --file optionGravatar Joey Hess2012-02-08
| | | | | | | Can be used to specify what file the url is added to. This can be used to override the default filename that is used when adding an url, which is based on the url. Or, when the file already exists, the url is recorded as another location of the file.

* fsck --from remote --fastGravatar Joey Hess2012-01-20
| | | | | | | Avoids expensive file transfers, at the expense of checking file size and/or contents. Required some reworking of the remote code.
* fsck --fromGravatar Joey Hess2012-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fscking a remote is now supported. It's done by retrieving the contents of the specified files from the remote, and checking them, so can be an expensive operation. (Several optimisations are possible, to speed it up, of course.. This is the slow and stupid remote fsck to start with.) Still, if the remote is a special remote, or a git repository that you cannot run fsck in locally, it's nice to have the ability to fsck it. If you have any directory special remotes, now would be a good time to fsck them, in case you were hit by the data loss bug fixed in the previous release!
* Add annex-trustlevel configuration settings, which can be used to override ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2012-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | the trust level of a remote. This overrides the trust.log, and is overridden by the command-line trust parameters. It would have been nicer to have Logs.Trust.trustMap just look up the configuration for all remotes, but a dependency loop prevented that (Remotes depends on Logs.Trust in several ways). So instead, look up the configuration when building remotes, storing it in the same forcetrust field used for the command-line trust parameters.
* log: Add --gource mode, which generates output usable by gource.Gravatar Joey Hess2012-01-07

* log: New command that displays the location log for file, showing each ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2012-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | repository they were added to and removed from. This needs to run git log on the location log files to get at all past versions of the file, which tends to be a bit slow. It would be possible to make a version optimised for showing the location logs for every key. That would only need to run git log once, so would be faster, but it would need to process an enormous amount of data, so would not speed up the individual file case. In the future it would be nice to support log --format. log --json also doesn't work right yet.
* no implicit dotfiles in addGravatar Joey Hess2012-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dotfiles, and files inside dotdirs are not added by "git annex add" unless the dotfile or directory is explicitly listed. So "git annex add ." will add all untracked files in the current directory except for those in dotdirs. One reason for this is that it will make git-annex more usable with vcsh, where you don't want "vcsh big annex add" to check in all the dotfiles that are already versioned in other repositories. (If you're using vcsh for repos that contain non-dotfiles, this won't help, and you'll need to .gitignore such things, but this will cover the common case.) A more general reason why this seems like a good idea is the same reason ls ignores dotfiles, just the unix convention that they are cruft that is kept out of the way most of the time. All the other git-annex commands still do deal with any dotfiles that do get into the annex. This seemed right because if I've gone to the trouble to add a dotfile, I will want "git annex get ." to get it along with everything else.

* find: Support --print0Gravatar Joey Hess2011-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | It would be nice if command-specific options were supported. The first difficulty is that which command is being called is not known until after getopt; but that could be worked around by finding the first non-dashed parameter. Storing the settings without putting them in the annex monad is the next difficulty; it could perhaps be handled by making the seek stage pass applicable settings into the start stage (and from there on to perform as needed). But that still leaves a problem, what data type to use to represent the options between getopt and seek?
