Was reading the #git update-index manpage for other reasons and discovered the #SplitIndex mode.

This sounds very useful for my huge #GitAnnex archive of pictures, with I think over 100 000 files. A git add can take many seconds in normal mode.

Split index mode allows git to keep a big "static" index and a smaller index that gets updated every time you add/remove/update a file. You can fine-tune how many files need to be updated before the big index is touched.

The feature was added in v2.1.0 in 2014, but v2.22.0 in 2019 are the first release notes not to call it "the experimental split-index mode". The v2.1.0 notes don't even mention the feature at all.

> Deleted all the forks I had on GitHub, moved the very few repos I care about over to Codeberg

I believe moving over to #Codeberg is a big improvement over relying on #GitHub (which, as #SourceForge once was, is the center of gravity for FOSS projects' development).

I closed all my repos on GH some years back. I kept one or two repos on #BitBucket for years, but they were basically dead. When BB rid itself of #Mercurial ( #hg ) and switched solely to #git, I took advantage of the opportunity to close my account there.

That said, large numbers of people moving en mass from GitHub to Codeberg would just move the problem to a different platform. The problem being people rely heavily on a centralized service.

As for GitHub, I still have my account, and with job-hunting, I really need to put something there. Seriously, I have had some places send rejection notices because they couldn't see any evidence (on GitHub) that I knew anything about the job. But I really only want GH to be a secondary mirror of a main repo hosted elsewhere.

Most of what I do goes into my #Fossil repo, but I'm also trying to use #Darcs, #Breezy, #Pijul, and #Hg enough to be able to fairly say which ones work best for me.

You'll notice that #Git is not in that list. I'm having to use git whenever I deal with other people's code projects, so I already know that it isn't tailored for my needs.

I also think that our #code-hosting solutions needn't presume #git. All of #hg, #fossil, #darcs, #pijul, #brz can be viable depending on the project & organization.

I merged a cross-cutting thing when several people had branches open and I've been managing merge conflicts for two days.

Seriously interested now to check out whether pijul actually handles this kind of thing better in practice.

I should find out whether #Darcs and #Pijul have #IRC channels set up for their users. It looks like #Fossil has an unofficial channel (latest info says it is on Freenode). I should also look for #Mercurial and #Git and #Breezy / #Bazaar.

@geniusmusing I find #git to be too big and complex for my needs (and arguably for most projects). I know it “won” and even some projects that formerly used another #VCS ( such as Mercurial #hg, #darcs, Bazaar #bzr / Breezy #brz ) are switching.

In the plans: a very limited #Kallithea install (with git and Mercurial) and #Fossil for Federati ... when I have more funds and energy to devote to getting it going on its own VPS.

A Categorical Theory of Patches

A formalization of the #Darcs theory of patches. Darcs ( http://darcs.net/ ) is a #DVCS, like #git or #hg or #Fossil, but based around patches.

1. Darcs - FrontPage
2. A Categorical Theory of Patches
  
  When working with distant collaborators on the same documents, one often uses a version control system, which is a program tracking the history of files and helping importing modifications brought by others as patches. The implementation of such a system requires to handle lots of situations depending on the operations performed by users on files, and it is thus difficult to ensure that all the corner cases have been correctly addressed. Here, instead of verifying the implementation of such a system, we adopt a complementary approach: we introduce a theoretical model, which is defined abstractly by the universal property that it should satisfy, and work out a concrete description of it. We begin by defining a category of files and patches, where the operation of merging the effect of two coinitial patches is defined by pushout. Since two patches can be incompatible, such a pushout does not necessarily exist in the category, which raises the question of which is the correct category to represent and manipulate files in conflicting state. We provide an answer by investigating the free completion of the category of files under finite colimits, and give an explicit description of this category: its objects are finite sets labeled by lines equipped with a transitive relation and morphisms are partial functions respecting labeling and relations.

I think y’all know I favor the #Fossil #SCM / #DVCS over #Git (though I’m giving #Mercurial ( #Hg ) another look as well. I’m resource-constrained as well as energy-limited, but I have been thinking of standing up a miniature software forge for !FNetworks projects and users, likely using Kallithea (which can use both Hg and Git) and also having some Fossil repos (but not as part of a forge).

Planning to play with #Kallithea https://kallithea-scm.org/ soon. I’m still very much in favor of #Fossil https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki but I’m not rigid about it (the way many #Git and #Github users are). If either Git or #Mercurial ( #Hg ) https://www.mercurial-scm.org/ are appropriate for the situation, I’ll use them.

I much prefer #Fossil to #Git.

I haven't really used #Breezy / #brz ( the actively developed fork of #Bazaar / #bzr ) or #Mercurial / #hg or #Darcs or #Pijul. I should explore some of these.

Maybe I should see about getting a #Launchpad account.
