Betreff: [freenet-dev] [PoC PATCH JGIT 0/2] Proof of concept code for Git Freenet transportHi JGit / Freenet community,
Here is some proof-of-concept code for Git-over-Freenet. I am sending this to see the feedback from communities.
The code need some more cleanups, so it it is not ready for apply (yet).
This is a real-life example
Push:
$ git remote add fcp fcp://SSK@[my public key]^[my private key]/test.git $ ./jgit push fcp refs/remotes/origin/stable:refs/heads/masterQuoted 6 lines
/ALTERNATIVLY/
Insert a bare repository under USK@<.....>/test.git/-1/
Pull:
$ ./jgit clone fcp://SSK@[my public key]^[my private key]/test.gita pull from fproxy should be possible. so the average user can grab and build sources with an unpatched/regular git version
$ git clone http://127.0.0.1:8888/key/app.git //grab & build a app $ git clone http://127.0.0.1:8888/key/jFreeGit.git //ha, bootstrap! grab & build the modified git for creating repos in freenetQuoted 2 lines

To workaround the metadata update problem, this client translate the path seperator to "-", that means:
you need to mangele path names properly, it may fail on names with '-' inside.
It doesn't matter -- we don't have to convert it back.

On push:
objects/aa/bbbbbbbb --> USK@..../test.git-objects-aa-bbbbbbb/-1/ refs/heads/xxx --> USK@..../test.git-objects-ref-heads-xxx/-1/why not 'USK@..../test.git/1/objects/aa/bbbbbbb' ?
In freenet,
all files under USK@..../test.git/1/* are packed in a zip file and
must be updated at once.
If we do this, we have to upload all pack files again on every push -- this is very bad.
see http://wiki.github.com/j16sdiz/egit-freenet for more detail reply.

On pull:
To support uploading from jSite,
when we load the info/refs we first check USK@..../test.git-info-refs/-1/ if it is unavailiable, we would use USK@..../test.git/-1/info/refsThe "traditional" type (USK@..../test.git/-1/objects) repository is always added as an alternative objects database. No other info/alternatives are supported
FIXME:
- How to store the private key of repository?hg have a per repository config. was quite easy here ;)
Quoted 5 lines
Currently, we use URI of form fcp://SSK@<public key>^<private key>/some-id This is quite ugly. Could we use a per remote Config ? How can I get remote name from transport?
- Make pushing async, could we?
inserting to an USK should be blocking until the toplevel chunk is in. this is a helpful tactic to hold the edition chain clean.
