Re: [TCLCORE] Frequency of github pushes and actions

If the mentioned costs are about GHA (CI), then it is correct...
(however one could surely speed-up several tests and make the test-suite
fewer expensive). 

If the costs means the fossil2git process - well, it is also possible to
optimize. 
Just use export- & import-marks on fossil and git side. Then the whole
export/import stuff is thousand times faster and generates a lot fewer
traffic. 

The simplest script for the latter looks like this: 

{fossil export --git --import-marks .git/.fossil2git-fssl --export-marks
.git/.fossil2git-fssl.tmp 
 | git fast-import $@ --import-marks=.git/.fossil2git-git
--export-marks=.git/.fossil2git-git.tmp 
} && {mv .git/.fossil2git-fssl.tmp .git/.fossil2git-fssl; mv
.git/.fossil2git-git.tmp .git/.fossil2git-git} 

This would firstly create marks in *.tmp and if gets ready and succeeds
would replace last marks from that tmp-state.

To do first export creating initial marks state, simply use it without
--import-marks ... for both sides, 
so it'd generate initial export-marks, that can be used by further runs.


Besides performance this has additional pros, the important one is - it
guarantees persistence of the tree - already processed revisions will be
untouched anymore, so the tree remain unchanged, even if fossil, for
example after update (as already few times happened), abrupt starts to
generate a bit different stream/hash/whatever by some revision, so
causing a tree rebuilt without marks from that ancestor. 

$@ in git args allows to supply additional arguments, e. g. --force to
overwrite branches/tags like mistake (which are non unique on fossil). 

By the way, if this marks become public, everyone can use them to push
it to GH from local repository (whole diff or single branch). 

Hope this helps,
Serg.
