Penalized in what sense

hundreds-father-404 · Answer

Is this for fmt fix lint

Yes it is And penalized in the space time dimensions

bitter-ability-32190 · Answer

The TL DR is ideally there s a lowest common denominator on the requests to fmt lint fix tools That happens to be a snapshot because of the pipeline nature of fmt fix

I see but `lint` does not need the snapshot It can t be a digest That s cheaper

bitter-ability-32190 · Answer

Some linters use the snapshot others use the `files` and build their own Snapshot from transitive targets and the like

it used to be a lot cheaper to hold a `Digest` but the difference has been reduced signifificantly with the move to `DigestTrie`

witty-crayon-22786 · Answer

In this case I m requesting a snapshot from pathglobs And then the user might just ignore it

I suspect in the end the pros outweigh the cons But this is the glaring mark on the implementation confused
