Especially from borg, where the content identifier logs
all end up being the same identical file!
But also, for other imports, the location tracking logs can,
in some cases, be identical files.
Bonus optimisation: Avoid looking up (and parsing when set)
GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK env var every time a log is written to.
Although the lookup does happen at startup even when no
log will be written now.
For reasons explained in the bug report.
Implemented using a persistent migration, which works fine. It may add a
little startup overhead when a remote is enabled that uses this, but
probably un-noticable.
On the next major version, it would be fine to delete this database,
and regenerate it from the git-annex branch information. Then this
change could be reverted.
Did nothing about adding back the data that got dropped from the db
due to the bug. Only the borg special remote was probably affected,
and it's not been released yet. rm -rf .git/annex/cidsdb does work.
Note that, after changing it with enableremote, syncing won't rescan
known archives in the borg repo using the changed config. Probably not a
problem?
Also used File in some places where filenames that could theoretically
start with - are passed to borg, to avoid it confusing them with
options.
This makes sync a lot faster in the common case where there's no new
backup.
There's still room for it to be faster. Currently the old imported tree
has to be traversed, to generate the ImportableContents. Which then
gets turned around to generate the new imported tree, which is
identical. So, it would be possible to just return a "no new imports",
or an ImportableContents that has a way to graft in a tree. The latter
is probably too far to go to optimise this, unless other things need it.
The former might be worth it, but it's already pretty fast, since git
ls-tree is pretty fast.
It's unusual to use a ContentIdentifier that is not semi-unique
for different contents. Note that in importKeys, it checks if a content
identifier is one that's known before, to avoid downloading the same
content twice. But that's done in a code path not used for borg repos,
because they are thirdpartypopulated.
Still some issues to deal with, see TODO and XXX.
Here's what gets logged, for each key:
cid log:
1608582045.832799227s 6720ebad-b20e-4460-a8f2-2477361aea75 !MjAyMC0xMi0yMVQxMTozMzoxNw==:!MjAyMC0xMi0yMVQxMzowNzoyNg==
The "!Mj" are base64 encoded borg archive names, since mine were
dates and contained some characters not allowed in cid logs unescaped.
There were archives that each contained the key. This list will grow as
more borg backups are done and learned about.

May actually work now.
Note that, importKey now has to add the size to the key if it's supposed
to have size. Remote.Directory relied on the importer adding the size,
which is no longer done, so it was changed; it was the only one.
This way, importKey does not need to behave differently between regular
and thirdpartypopulated imports.
These don't have importTree in their config, because they don't support
tree import, but they do still support import, and do not support export
or key/value modification.
