[darcs-devel] [patch1216] refactor patch index code a bit (and 1 more)

[Ganesh Sittampalam]

New submission from Ganesh Sittampalam <ganesh at earth.li>:

Just for discussion/experimentation for now.

Guillaume mentioned on IRC that darcs might be holding all
the patches in memory when building a patch index from scratch.

This change ought to make it more incremental as PatchSet is
the standard structure for reading a repository lazily, but
in practice I don't see much difference in memory usage
with +RTS -s

2 patches for repository darcs-unstable at darcs.net:screened:

  * refactor patch index code a bit
  
   - generalise return type of patches2patchMods to make it easier
     to call incrementally
  
   - abstract out patchSet2patchMods in preparation for a more
     efficient implementation

  * try to build patch index incrementally
