Comment on How to truncate git history (sample script included) by Sean Flanigan

Sean Flanigan — Fri, 04 May 2012 05:30:18 +0000

Thanks for the script!

Git 1.7.1 doesn’t support “checkout –orphan”, so I found I had to replace
git checkout –orphan temp $1
with
git checkout $1
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/temp

which may or may not be correct, but it /seems/ to work.

Comment on gitosis: how to add new repository by Bogdan

Right, this is what I’ve used in half of the commands. Should have probably used in all commands, but ‘;’ is one symbol faster to type than ‘&&’ Still a valid point, thanks.

To concatenate commands and avoid possible mistakes replace ; with &&

Thanks!

Very impressed with what pvmove does. The whole LVM2 + MDRAID stack impressed me after I followed your guide.

Thanks!

@adam

This should work:

if filename[0] == ‘.’: # if the first character is a dot
continue # skip the file

[...] 注意：這項操作需要先在 git server 的 gitosis 裏正確設定存取權限，不然一定會出現 access denied 而無法正確將本地端資料放到遠端，可參考這篇說明 [...]

here xyz may be anything like default, config etc.. i want to read this path depending on xyz value. How can i do that???

I guess fdupes could be compiled/run in cygwin.

There are tons of similar programs for windows, and some are even good enough, but I’m not up-to-date on that software – so cannot advise.

You could write the required python script by, e.g., first creating two dicts of {filename: filesize}, and then comparing them to find identical filesizes (and yield the two filenames). This is a suboptimal approach, but that probably doesn’t matter for low numbers of files; for higher numbers, you would want a different approach. (One more suboptimal idea, but slightly better, would be to populate the 1st dict with {size:name}, and then iterate over the files in the 2nd dir, checking for “size in dict”.)

@Bogdan, Yeah, but I’m on a windows platform at work. Know of any similar program for windows? Or a python script

@Vaishu, you could wrap the conversion to float() into a try..except block, and thus separate purely-numeric values from alphanumeric.

@Paal, you could use a program like ‘fdupes’, which does exactly what you want – de-duplicates the contents of two arbitrary directories.

Hey, I’m having a different problem.
I have two or more folders with lots of files in them. Both folders contain some files that are exactly the same, but the files have different names. I want to use a python script to matches files in these two folders by size. Cause When the size of the file is the same, I think it’s a high enough possibillity that the files are the same.
The best script would merge these to folders together and delete duplicates, based on name or size, or name and size.

Anyone who know how to write one of these scripts?

That would be really helpfull!

sorry bout my bad english.

sorry,
contents of seq.txt is
9.45
9SEQ
6.346
4CGF
2.5632
3RES
8.1452
2HAB
and i want results of only floating points,
i.e)
2.5632
6.346
8.1452

hELLO,
Python Comments used for arranging floating points in ascending order
For ex..,
In Drive=C:/ Folder=r Textfile=seq.txt
Contents of seq.txt=
9.45
6.346
2.5632
8.1452
My aim is i want result as
2.5632
6.346
8.1452
9.45
what python code should be used for such type of process

Comment on How to fix “MySQL server has gone away” (error 2006) by Bogdan

@Badera, did you restart the MySQL server after changing configuration?

Also, just before attempting the import, try

set session max_allowed_packet=128000000;

from within the mysql-client session (or just add this statement at the very top of the SQL file you are importing). I have no idea if this statement still works in current versions of MySQL – please post if it does [not].

@Adam, you probably need an approach similar to http://bogdan.org.ua/2008/03/12/instructions-on-installing-libmp3lame-enabled-ffmpeg-on-shared-linux-hosting.html (but for your library instead of libmp3lame).
