Added Maybe POSIXTime to SafeDropProof, which gets set when the proof is
based on a LockedCopy. If there are several LockedCopies, it uses the
closest expiry time. That is not optimal, it may be that the proof
expires based on one LockedCopy but another one has not expired. But
that seems unlikely to really happen, and anyway the user can just
re-run a drop if it fails due to expiry.
Pass the SafeDropProof to removeKey, which is responsible for checking
it for expiry in situations where that could be a problem. Which really
only means in Remote.Git.
Made Remote.Git check expiry when dropping from a local remote.
Checking expiry when dropping from a P2P remote is not yet implemented.
P2P.Protocol.remove has SafeDropProof plumbed through to it for that
purpose.
Fixing the remaining 2 build warnings should complete this work.
Note that the use of a POSIXTime here means that if the clock gets set
forward while git-annex is in the middle of a drop, it may say that
dropping took too long. That seems ok. Less ok is that if the clock gets
turned back a sufficient amount (eg 5 minutes), proof expiry won't be
noticed. It might be better to use the Monotonic clock, but that doesn't
advance when a laptop is suspended, and while there is the linux
Boottime clock, that is not available on other systems. Perhaps a
combination of POSIXTime and the Monotonic clock could detect laptop
suspension and also detect clock being turned back?
There is a potential future flag day where
p2pDefaultLockContentRetentionDuration is not assumed, but is probed
using the P2P protocol, and peers that don't support it can no longer
produce a LockedCopy. Until that happens, when git-annex is
communicating with older peers there is a risk of data loss when
a ssh connection closes during LOCKCONTENT.
When a file in the export is renamed, and the remote's renameExport
returned Nothing, renaming to the temp file would first say it was
renaming, and appear to succeed, but actually what it did was delete the
file. Then renaming from the temp file would not do anything, since the
temp file is not present on the remote. This appeared as if a file got
renamed to a temp file and left there.
Note that exporttree=yes importree=yes remotes have their usual
renameExport replaced with one that returns Nothing. (For reasons
explained in Remote.Helper.ExportImport.) So this happened
even with remotes that support renameExport.
Fix by letting renameExport = Nothing when it's not supported at all.
This avoids displaying the rename.

Finishes the transition to make remote methods throw exceptions, rather
than silently hide them.
A bit on the fence about this one, because when renameExport fails,
it falls back to deleting instead, and so does the user care why it failed?
However, it did let me clean up several places in the code.

When storing content on remote fails, always display a reason why.
Since the Storer used by special remotes already did, this mostly affects
git remotes, but not entirely. For example, if git-lfs failed to connect to
the endpoint, it used to silently return False.
Prompted by the test suite on windows failing to with "export foo failed"
and no information about what went wrong.
Note that only storeExportWithContentIdentifier has been converted.
storeExport still returns a Bool and so exceptions may be hidden.
However, storeExportWithContentIdentifier has many more failure modes,
since it needs to avoid overwriting modified files. So it's more
important it have better error display.
When a remote is configured to be readonly, don't allow changing what's
exported to it.
This was missed in the original export remote implementation, but it makes
sense for a readonly export remote to not be allowed to change.
This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
