Hi Vincent,
great stuff!
I've also got an in-progress toy git clone called ght: http://github.com/kfish/ght. It only reads, no write support and no revspec parsing. I tried to keep close to the git design, using mmap and Ptr-based binary search to read pack indices etc. Doing so seems fairly un-Haskelly but turned out surprisingly neat, what with Haskell being the world's finest imperative programming language and all.
Conrad. Hi Conrad,
Look like i'm not the first one to kind-of reimplement git ;-) In my use case, creating objects was the most important bit to get this project running. Design wise, i made sure i can switch to mmap later too, which is the reason of the "filereader" abstraction. I'm actually getting a hold of mmap in haskell in a work project right now, and will probably add a mmap mode along with the handle mode to hit's filereader too. -- Vincent
