This improves performance by a factor of at least 2 in large --tree workloads by avoiding the repeated creation/destruction of the pool and containing threads.
Cycling pools also encountered lots lock contention, which accounted for most of the time saved by reusing a single pool.
Add two new sort options `.name` and `.Name` which with ignore a leading
`.` if present on the file name before sorting according to `name` and
`Name`.
This new sort is convenient if you want to list hidden and unhidden
files sorted together.
The datetime crate used to bring in a lot more crates as dependencies (datetime#ce7d12adc5f65519c8290f1bce2eb77fca44f460), but now does not. The version increase also fixes#301.
Fixes#288, but more-or-less as a side-effect.
The “mi” key in LS_COLORS was meant to be used for a missing link path, but it wasn’t really used like that. There was also a bug where control characters in a broken symlink’s path were assumed to be underlined, because that’s what happened in the default colour scheme, but this assumption doesn’t hold when colours were disabled.
The solution to these was not to introduce another configurable colour code, but to start using _overlays_ to alter a bunch of colours at once. The “mi” code will have to be added back later.
Again, it was hard to read and edit this text when it was in a string inside an echo command inside a bash script inside a heredoc inside a Ruby script wrapped in a mystery. It also gives me space to write some actual comments.
Having it all echo-ed into the file like that made it hard to read *and* hard to maintain. My initial aversion to it was that I didn’t want there to be an executable script in the main repository that only worked when you were in the VM, because people would just run it anyway. But this can be avoided by leaving it non-executable, and having a command in the VM that runs it instead.
The ‘package-exa’ script’s zip contained /vagrant/exa-linux-x86_64 instead of just exa-linux-x86_64, and I never noticed.
