Can confirm.

I had a backup persistency file which felt "old" when I tried using it.

Backups seemed to be going impressively fast; suspiciously fast.

I finally figured out that it wasn't because it was a huge file that
was being skipped, but that it wasn't ever being backed up /
overwritten in the first place.

Of course its size wouldn't change, but apparently a persistency file
doesn't get its modification time changed when it's written-within.  I
never would have guessed..

Hi,
whatever you did it fixed the web interface.
It is speedy now, just loading files in the
editor is still a little slow but acceptable.

Thanks for your time and effort.

Ciao,
Tito

Yeah; if I don't have things to do I create some :)

Btw the favoured way to work with git, both generally and also
for Devuan's git store, is to clone the project into a workspace on your
own machine to edit and commit locally, and then push changes back.
Apart from being slow, editing via the repository browser is error prone
in many ways, especially because it causes a very refined commit history
which reduces its usefulness.

In fact, if you deep dive into the ontological structure that underpins
the notion of version control for collaborative authoring you're likely
to arrive at and take a position to the very question whether editing
while browsing is or is not a contrary idea. I'd say "is".

Ralph.

Hi,

Yes, but I don't have the time to learn the git-fu at the moment.
I work on my local cloned tree and when I'm ready or to tired I just delete
the current git version in the editing window and copy my new version.
This way I get a diff in a simple and fast way add some commit notes,
hit commit and I'm done and can drink a beer and go to sleep.
I agree with you that this is not the most elegant way to use git
but it works for me.

Ciao and keep up the good work,

Tito
