$ java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:9000 install-plugin findbugs
findbugs is neither a valid file, URL, nor a plugin artifact name in the update center
No update center data is retrieved yet from: http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json
findbugs looks like a short plugin name. Did you mean 'null'?


# Specifying a full URL works!

"""This is a demonstration of sharing file descriptors across processes.

It uses Tornado (need a recent post-2.0 version from github) and the
multiprocessing module (from python 2.6+).  To run it, start one copy
of fdserver.py and one or more copies of testserver.py (in different
terminals, or backgrounded, etc).  Fetch http://localhost:8000 and
you'll see the requests getting answered by different processes (it's
normal for several requests to go to the same process under light
load, but under heavier load it tends to even out).

# Windows AMIs don't have WinRM enabled by default -- this script will enable WinRM
# AND install the CloudInit.NET service, 7-zip, curl and .NET 4 if its missing.
# Then use the EC2 tools to create a new AMI from the result, and you have a system 
# that will execute user-data as a PowerShell script after the instance fires up!
# This has been tested on Windows 2008 R2 Core x64 and Windows 2008 SP2 x86 AMIs provided
# by Amazon
# 
# To run the script, open up a PowerShell prompt as admin

How Fast is Git?

The web is full of benchmarks showing the supernatural speed of Git even with very big repositories, but unfortunately they use the wrong variable. Size is not important, but the number of files in the repository really is!

Why is that? Well, that's because Git works in a very different way compared to Synergy. You don't have to checkout a file in order to edit it; Git will do that for you automatically. But at what price?

The price is that for every Git operation that requires to know which files changed (git status, git commmit, etc etc) an lstat() call will be executed for every single file

Wow! So how does that perform on a fairly large repository? Let's find out! For this example I will use an example project, which has 19384 files in 1326 folders.
