intercept file access to git-annex repos
Hi, still about photos and git-annex: When my wife edits photos prior to uploading them, it would be fine if she wouldn't need to know about git-annex. Hacking git-annex support in every photo application is no option. But is there any linux kernel or LD_PRELOAD magic that could intercept access to a git-annex repo and make it look normal? (I just realize that we already talked about a fuse filesystem for git-annex.) The interceptor should show the real files instead of symlinks and should do an edit-add roundtrip for any write access.

Useful to deduplicate files from many old CD backups git annex find --format can be used to get at this to some extent. But I'd instead suggest to just add the files, let git-annex deduplicate the data, which it does automatically, and if desired dedup the filenames afterwards. - checksum to path - move file into annex You already have an annexed file somewhere on the disk and just want to move it in the local annex without copying it Sounds like the reinject command, I think? - find duplicates It might happen that a file is put into an annex in multiple places. One could try to find duplicate symlinks, but that's inefficient. As I understand, the git-annex data should allow a quick lookup of all symlinks pointing to a particular checkum. http://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/finding_duplicate_files/ -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ vcs-home mailing list vcs-home@lists.madduck.net http://lists.madduck.net/listinfo/vcs-home
