This to work around very large metadata + sizes and >1 MByte JSON API blobs +- must have a complete manifest for at least one hash type (of md5, sha1, + sha256) + +Could end up separating manifest into a separate redirect, like abstracts, to +reduce database size.

Some options: + +- store git URL + commit in release metadata, with no file/fileset. This ties + release with a specific version well, but breaks semantics of data model + (artifact/metadata separation) +- store a full file manifest (or just the important files) and full URLs; maybe + version/commit as extra but not in URL? +- store "stub" FileSet with no manifest, git version/commit in extra (or as a + new column?), and locations in URL list + +## webcapture + +Constraints +- also limit to 200 lines, same as with fileset |
