gitty_driver_files.pl -- Gitty plain files driver
This version of the driver uses plain files to store the gitty data. It
consists of a nested directory structure with files named after the
hash. Objects and hash computation is the same as for git
. The heads
(files) are computed on startup by scanning all objects. There is a file
ref/head
that is updated if a head is updated. Other clients can watch
this file and update their notion of the head. This implies that the
store can handle multiple clients that can access a shared file system,
optionally shared using NFS from different machines.
The store is simple and robust. The main disadvantages are long startup times as the store holds more objects and relatively high disk usage due to rounding the small objects to disk allocation units.
- gitty_close(+Store) is det
- Close resources associated with a store.
- gitty_file(+Store, ?File, ?Ext, ?Head) is nondet
- True when File entry in the gitty store and Head is the HEAD revision.
- load_plain_commit(+Store, +Hash, -Meta:dict) is semidet
- Load the commit data as a dict. Loaded commits are cached in commit/3. Note that only adding a fact to the cache is synchronized. This means that during a race situation we may load the same object multiple times from disk, but this is harmless while a lock around the whole predicate serializes loading different objects, which is not needed.
- store_object(+Store, +Hash, +Header:string, +Data:string) is det
- Store the actual object. The store must associate Hash with the concatenation of Hdr and Data.
- load_object(+Store, +Hash, -Data, -Type, -Size) is det
- Load the given object.
- gitty_rescan(?Store) is det
- Update our view of the shared storage for all stores matching Store.
- gitty_hash(+Store, ?Hash) is nondet
- True when Hash is an object in the store.
- delete_object(+Store, +Hash)
- Delete an existing object
- gitty_object_file(+Store, +Hash, -Path) is det
- True when Path is the file at which the object with Hash is stored.
- gitty_update_head(+Store, +Name, +OldCommit, +NewCommit) is det
- Update the head of a gitty store for Name. OldCommit is the
current head and NewCommit is the new head. If Name is created,
and thus there is no head, OldCommit must be
-
.This operation can fail because another writer has updated the head. This can both be in-process or another process.
- delete_head(+Store, +Head) is det
- Delete Head from Store. Used by gitty_fsck/1 to remove heads that have no commits. Should we forward this to remotes, or should they do their own thing?
- set_head(+Store, +File, +Hash) is det
- Set the head of the given File to Hash
- repack_objects(+Store, +Options) is det[multifile]
- Repack objects of Store for reduced disk usage and enhanced
performance. By default this picks up all file objects of the store
and all existing small pack files. Options:
- small_pack(+Bytes)
- Consider all packs with less than Bytes as small and repack them. Default 10Mb
- min_files(+Count)
- Do not repack if there are less than Count new files. Default 1,000.
- pack_objects(+Store, +Objects, +Packs, +PackDir, -PackFile, +Options) is det
- Pack the given objects and pack files into a new pack.
- gitty_fsck(+Store) is det
- Validate all packs associated with Store
- fsck_pack(+File) is det
- Validate the integrity of the pack file File.
- attach_pack(+Store, +PackFile)
- Load the index of Pack into memory.
- load_object_from_pack(+Hash, -Data, -Type, -Size) is semidet
- True when Hash is in a pack and can be loaded.
- unpack_packs(+Store) is det[multifile]
- Unpack all packs.
- unpack_pack(+Store, +Pack) is det
- Turn a pack back into a plain object files
