It's not necessary. And if the bare repo somehow has a pointer
file in it with the same name as a file in HEAD, that file would be
populated, which would be surprising since the file is not really under
git's control.
Fix bug that lost modifications to unlocked files when init is re-ran in an
already initialized repo.
In retrospect needing scanUnlockedFiles False in the direct mode upgrade
path was a good hint that it was unsafe when used with True.
However, this bug did not affect upgrade from v5. In such an upgrade, an
unlocked file that is modified is left as-is. The only place
scanUnlockedFiles True did overwrite modified unlocked files is during an
git-annex init of a repo that was already initialized by git-annex.
(I also tried a scenario where the repo had not been initialized by
git-annex yet, but was cloned from a v7 repo with an unlocked file, and the
pointer file replaced with some other content, and the data loss did not
occur in that situation.)
Since the fixed scanUnlockedFiles avoids overwriting non-pointer files,
it should be safe to run in any situation, so there's no need any longer
for the parameter.
This brings back .git/annex/misctmp, but only for init. If an init
is interrupted while probing using that temp directory, the files it left
will get deleted 1 week later by a subsequent git-annex run.
Can be set to false to prevent any automatic repository upgrades.
Also, removed direct mode specific upgrade code in Annex.Init, and made
needsUpgrade always include the name/path of the repo, so if
there's a problem it's clear what repo has the problem.
And, made needsUpgrade catch any exceptions that might occur during the
upgrade, so it can display a more useful error message than just the
exception.
* Automatically convert direct mode repositories to v7 with adjusted
unlocked branches and set annex.thin.
* init: When run on a crippled filesystem with --version=5,
will error out, since version 7 is needed for adjusted unlocked branch.
* direct: This command always errors out as direct mode is no longer
supported.
* indirect: This command has become a deprecated noop.
* proxy: This command is deprecated because it was only needed in direct
mode. (But it continues to work.)
Also removed mentions of direct mode throughough the documentation.
I have not removed all the direct mode code yet.
When upgrading a direct mode repo to v7 with adjusted unlocked branches,
fix a bug that prevented annex.thin from taking effect for the files in
working tree.
The hard links used to be ok, but commit 8e22114735 accidentially
broke them. It repopulates the worktree file, which is already a hard link,
and when it's creating the new file, the link count is already 2, and so it
doesn't make a hard link then.
init: Fix a reversion in the last release that prevented automatically
generating and setting a description for the repository.
Seemed best to factor out uuidDescMapRaw that does not
have the default mempty descrition behavior.
I don't much like that behavior, but I know things depend on it.
One thing in particular is `git annex info` which lists the uuids and
descriptions; if the current repo has been initialized in some way that
means it does not have a description, it would not show up w/o that.
(Not only repos created due to this bug might lack that. For example a repo
that was marked dead and had --drop-dead delete its git-annex branch info,
and then came back from the dead would similarly not be in the uuid.log.
Also there have been other versions of git-annex that didn't set a default
description; for years there was no default description.)
* init: When the repository already has a description, don't change it.
* describe: When run with no description parameter it used to set
the description to "", now it will error out.
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.)
Avoid performing repository fixups for submodules and git-worktrees
when there's a .noannex file that will prevent git-annex from being
used in the repository.
This change is ok as long as the .noannex file is really going to prevent
git-annex from being used. But, init --force could override the file.
Which would result in the repo being initialized without the fixups
having run.
To avoid that situation decided to change init, to not let --force be used
to override a .noannex file. Instead the user can just delete the file.
* Switch to using .git/annex/othertmp for tmp files other than partial
downloads, and make stale files left in that directory when git-annex
is interrupted be cleaned up promptly by subsequent git-annex processes.
* The .git/annex/misctmp directory is no longer used and git-annex will
delete anything lingering in there after it's 1 week old.
Also, in Annex.Ingest, made the filename it uses in the tmp dir be
prefixed with "ingest-" to avoid potentially using a filename used by
some other code.
init: When --version=5 is passed on a crippled filesystem, use a v5 direct
mode repo as requested, rather than upgrading to v7 adjusted unlocked.
Fixed test suite on crippled filesystems, making it request --version=5
to test direct mode.
* init: When a crippled filesystem causes an adjusted unlocked branch to
be used, set repo version to 7, which it neglected to do before.
* init: When on a crippled filesystem, and the git version is too old
to use an adjusted unlocked branch, fall back to using direct mode.

init: When in a crippled filesystem, initialize a v7 repository using an
adjusted unlocked branch, instead of a direct mode repository.
Direct mode is deprecated, so this makes sense to do already I hope.

Install new git hooks in this version.
This does beg the question of what to do if git later gets eg a
post-smudge hook, that could run git-annex smudge --update. I think the
thing to do in that case would be to make git-annex smudge --update
install the new hooks. That way, as the user uses git-annex, the hook
would be created pretty quickly and without needing any extra syscalls
except for when git-annex smudge --update is called.
I considered doing something like that for installation of the
post-checkout and post-merge hooks, which would have avoided the need
for v7. But the only place it was cheap to do it would be in git-annex smudge
which could cheaply notice that smudge.log didn't exist yet and so know
the hooks needed to be installed. But since smudge used to populate pointer
files, it would be quite surprising if a single git checkout/merge failed
to update the work tree, and so that idea didn't work out.
The other reason for v7 is psychological -- users don't need to worry
about whether they might be running an old version of git-annex that
doesn't support their v7 repository very well. And bug reports about
"v6" have gotten a bit of a bad association in my head since they often
hit one of the known limitations and didn't realize it was experimental.

* init, upgrade: Install git post-checkout and post-merge hooks that run
git annex smudge --update.
* precommit: Run git annex smudge --update, because the post-merge
hook is not run when there is a merge conflict. So the work tree will
be updated when a commit is made to resolve the merge conflict.
* precommit: Run git annex smudge --update, because the post-merge
hook is not run when there is a merge conflict. So the work tree will
be updated when a commit is made to resolve the merge conflict.
* Note that git has no hooks run after git stash or git cherry-pick,
so the user will have to manually run git annex smudge --update
after such commands.
Nothing currently installs the hooks into v6 repos that already exist.
Something will need to be done about that, either move this behavior to v7,
or document that the user will need to manually fix up their v6 repos.

Avoids annex.largefiles inconsitency and also avoids a lot of
unneccessary calls to the clean filter when a large repo's clone
is being initialized.

A top-level .noannex file will prevent git-annex init from being used in a
repository. This is useful for repositories that have a policy reason not
to use git-annex. The content of the file will be displayed to the user who
tries to run git-annex init.
This also affects git annex reinit and initialization via the webapp.
It does not affect automatic inits, when there's a sibling git-annex branch
already.

Needs ghc 7.6.1, so minimum base version increased slightly. All builds
are well above this version of ghc, and debian oldstable is as well.
Code that could use lambdacase can be found by running:

Using annexeval to run probeCrippledFileSystem' caused Git.CurrentRepo.get
to be run. Fixed easily since probeCrippledFileSystem' had no need to use
the Annex monad.

* init: When annex.securehashesonly has been set with git-annex config,
copy that value to the annex.securehashesonly git config.
* config --set: As well as setting value in git-annex branch,
set local gitconfig. This is needed especially for
annex.securehashesonly, which is read only from local gitconfig and not
the git-annex branch.
doc/todo/sha1_collision_embedding_in_git-annex_keys.mdwn has the
rationalle for doing it this way. There's no perfect solution; this
seems to be the least-bad one.

ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

Fixes a bug introduced with v6 mode that I didn't notice until now.
Probably not many v3 repos left out there, and upgrading them to v6 mode
is not disastrous, only a little premature.

Mostly the username is only used for the git committer or other display

The only remaining place where an error is thrown is when starting local
