So, what do you guys think about it ? At this stage I don't have
really clear in what I
should specifically work to improve "darcs annotate", but I'm sure We
can have an
interesting discussion here, which could help me to define, in what I should
specifically work if we want to see "darcs annotate" going faster.
AFAIK, what we need for a faster annotate is what we call a "filecache". By
that we mean a data structure that will let us look up quickly which patches
affect a given file. Benedikt Schmidt has been working on this for a long
time. I don't know if this has resulted in some demo-able code yet.
Maybe you should ask him (beschmi at gmail) about the current state of this
work and if it would be possible to make a GSoC project out of it.
I have started porting the code to the newest unstable and ran into some
problems because Commands.Changes uses witnesses now. I have the feeling
that I need unsafe operations here if I only want to read the patches
that touch a certain file, but I have to investigate this further.
I can give some more details later this week and of course after Zurihac.
Adolfo: Feel free to contact me off-list if you have any more questions.
Best,
Benedikt
