This is one way to solve issue #953, but it's a little bit flawed.
The problem is that we used
xargs --max-args 1 --replace % -c bash "effort \"%\"", because the functioneffortonly takes one argument and we want it to be quoted.--max-argsand--replaceare conflicting in newer versions of xargs.In this PR I've removed xargs and only use bash code to call
effort. However, the previous implementation used the--max-procs=4option to xargs to useeffortin four "threads". This version forks heavily, which could cause performance problems in the rest of the system.I have only done some minor tests in one repo, it should be tested in more repos and on other OS:es as well.
