* safer inannex checkingGravatar Joey Hess2011-11-09
| | | | | | | | git-annex-shell inannex now returns always 0, 1, or 100 (the last when it's unclear if content is currently in the index due to it currently being moved or dropped). (Actual locking code still not yet written.)
* reorg to allow taking content lockGravatar Joey Hess2011-11-09
| | | | | | | The lock will only persist during the perform stage, so the content must be removed from the annex then, rather than in the cleanup stage. (No lock is actually taken yet.)

* merge: Use fast-forward merges when possible.Gravatar Joey Hess2011-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks Valentin Haenel for a test case showing how non-fast-forward merges could result in an ongoing pull/merge/push cycle. While the git-annex branch is fast-forwarded, git-annex's index file is still updated using the union merge strategy as before. There's no other way to update the index that would be any faster. It is possible that a union merge and a fast-forward result in different file contents: Files should have the same lines, but a union merge may change their order. If this happens, the next commit made to the git-annex branch will have some unnecessary changes to line orders, but the consistency of data should be preserved. Note that when the journal contains changes, a fast-forward is never attempted, which is fine, because committing those changes would be vanishingly unlikely to leave the git-annex branch at a commit that already exists in one of the remotes. The real difficulty is handling the case where multiple remotes have all changed. git-annex does find the best (ie, newest) one and fast forwards to it. If the remotes are diverged, no fast-forward is done at all. It would be possible to pick one, fast forward to it, and make a merge commit to the rest, I see no benefit to adding that complexity. Determining the best of N changed remotes requires N*2+1 calls to git-log, but these are fast git-log calls, and N is typically small. Also, typically some or all of the remote refs will be the same, and git-log is not called to compare those. In the real world I expect this will almost always add only 1 git-log call to the merge process. (Which already makes N anyway.)

* use SHA256 by defaultGravatar Joey Hess2011-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=WORM I feel that SHA256 is a better default for most people, as long as their systems are fast enough that checksumming their files isn't a problem. git-annex should default to preserving the integrity of data as well as git does. Checksum backends also work better with editing files via unlock/lock. I considered just using SHA1, but since that hash is believed to be somewhat near to being broken, and git-annex deals with large files which would be a perfect exploit medium, I decided to go to a SHA-2 hash. SHA512 is annoyingly long when displayed, and git-annex displays it in a few places (and notably it is shown in ls -l), so I picked the shorter hash. Considered SHA224 as it's even shorter, but feel it's a bit weird. I expect git-annex will use SHA-3 at some point in the future, but probably not soon! Note that systems without a sha256sum (or sha256) program will fall back to defaulting to SHA1.

* status: clean up for bare repositoriesGravatar Joey Hess2011-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | The backend usage graph shows present keys as well as keys found in the repository tree, so it will also be populated for bare repositories. Changed wording to "visible annex keys", which explains why it's 0 in a bare repository (no keys visible as no tree), and also why it varies depending on which branch is checked out. This seemed better than doing something expensive to look up keys from the git-annex branch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Checks location log information, and file contents. Does not check that numcopies is satisfied, as .gitattributes information about numcopies is not available in a bare repository. In practice, that should not be a problem, since fsck is also run in a checkout and will check numcopies there.
