irmin-pack: Activity log #1856

Open Ngoguey42 opened 2 years ago

In order to simplify debugging we could add an append only ascii file that lists the timestamps of the creation, openings, gc starts and gc ends.

How bad would it be that open_ro writes something in such a file?

tomjridge commented 2 years ago

I agree that it might be very useful to have GC write its own internal logs to a separate file (whilst also reporting logs to the usual places).

Since it's a log file, open_ro could write things in this file (?not sure why we wouldn't want it to if needed)
