I'd prefer to use the env var, but let's use what git currently supports.
Revert this when the env var gets supported.
Note that the version checking assumes git 2.8.2 will get support for the
switch.
git 2.8.1 (or perhaps 2.9.0) is going to prevent git merge from merging in
unrelated branches. Since the webapp's pairing etc features often combine
together repositories with unrelated histories, work around this behavior
change by setting GIT_MERGE_ALLOW_UNRELATED_HISTORIES when the assistant
merges.
Note though that this is not done for git annex sync's merges, so
it will follow git's default or configured behavior.
When git-annex is used with a git version older than 2.2.0, disable support for
adjusted branches, since GIT_COMMON_DIR is needed to update them and was first
added in that version of git.
Fix hang when dropping content needs to lock the content on a ssh remote,
which occurred when the remote has git-annex version 5.20151019 or newer.
Analysis: `race` runs 2 threads at once, and the hGetLine finishes first.
So, it tries to cancel the waitForProcess, but unfortunately that is making
a foreign call and so cannot be canceled. The remote git-annex-shell
is waiting for a line on stdin before it will exit. Deadlock.
This only occurred sometimes; I reproduced it going from darkstar to
elephant, but not from darkstar to darkstar. Not sure how that fits into
the above analysis -- perhaps a race condition is also involved?
Fixed by not using `race`; now the hGetLine will fail with an exception
if the remote git-annex-shell exits without any output.
Made all Annex.Perms file mode changing functions ignore errors when
core.sharedRepository is set, because the file might be owned by someone
else. I don't fancy getting bug reports about crashes due to set modes in
this configuration, which is a very foot-shooty configuration in the first
place.
The fsck warning is necessary because old repos kept files mode 444, which
doesn't allow locking them, and so if the mode remains 444 due to the file
being owned by someone else, the user should be told about it.
When annex.thin is set, adding an object will add the execute bits to the
work tree file, and this does mean that the annex object file ends up
executable.
This doesn't add any complexity that wasn't already present, because git
annex add of an executable file has always ingested it so that the annex
object ends up executable.
But, since an annex object file can be executable or not, when populating
an unlocked file from one, the executable bit is always added or removed
to match the mode of the pointer file.
Rationalle: User might have hook scripts whose output they want to see.
Also, git commit output may tell the user they forgot to add a file.
The output is not too ugly when there's nothing to commit.
Was using L.readFile, so the Handle would remain open until the garbage
collector got around to it. Changed to explicit open and close, so we know
it's always closed when the function returns.
This makes the direct mode to v6 upgrade able to be performed in one clone
of a repository without affecting other clones, which can continue using v5
and direct mode.
This does mean that it has to write out temp files containing updated
objects for the merge. So may use more disk space, and disk IO, but that
should generally win out over needing to launch N separate
git hash-object processes.
An unlocked present file does not have a pointer file in the worktree, so
info skipped counting it.
It may be that unused was also affected by the problem, but it seemed not
to be in my tests. I think because of the use of the associatedFilesFilter.
This fix slows down both info and unused a little bit, since they have to
query the contents of files from git, but only when handling unlocked files.
This fixes behavior in this situation:
l1 <- lockShared Nothing "lck"
l2 <- lockShared Nothing "lck"
dropLock l1
dropLock l2
Before, the lock was dropped upon the second dropLock call, but the fd
remained open, and would never be closed while the program was running.
Fixed by a rather round-about method, but it should work well enough.
It would have been simpler to open open the shared lock once, and not open
it again in the second call to lockShared. But, that's difficult to do
atomically.
This also affects Windows and PID locks, not just posix locks.
In the case of pid locks, multiple calls to waitLock within the same
process are allowed because the side lock is locked using a posix lock,
and so multiple exclusive locks can be taken in the same process. So,
this change fixes a similar problem with pid locks.
l1 <- waitLock (Seconds 1) "lck"
l2 <- waitLock (Seconds 1) "lck"
dropLock l1
dropLock l2
Here the l2 side lock fd remained open but not locked,
although the pid lock file was removed. After this change, the second
dropLock will close both fds to the side lock, and delete the pidlock.
* add, addurl, import, importfeed: When in a v6 repository on a crippled
filesystem, add files unlocked.
* annex.addunlocked: New configuration setting, makes files always be
added unlocked. (v6 only)
This is a mostly backwards compatable change. I broke backwards
compatability in the case where a filename starts with double-quote.
That seems likely to be very rare, and v6 unlocked files are a new feature
anyway, and fsck needs to fix missing associated file mappings anyway. So,
I decided that is good enough.
The encoding used is to just show the String when it contains a problem
character. While that adds some overhead to addAssociatedFile and
removeAssociatedFile, those are not called very often. This approach has
minimal decode overhead, because most filenames won't be encoded that way,
and it only has to look for the leading double-quote to skip the expensive
read. So, getAssociatedFiles remains fast.
I did consider using ByteString instead, but getting a FilePath converted
with all chars intact, even surrigates, is difficult, and it looks like
instance PersistField ByteString uses Text, which I don't trust for problem
encoded data. It would probably be slower too, and it would make the
database less easy to inspect manually.
Instead -J will behave as if it was built without concurrent-output support
in this situation. Ie, it will be mostly quiet, except when there's an
error.
Note that it's not a problem for a filename to contain invalid utf-8 when
in a utf-8 locale. That is handled ok by concurrent-output. It's only
displaying unicode characters in a non-unicode locale that doesn't work.
This lets readonly repos be used. If a repo is readonly, we can ignore the
keys database, because nothing that we can do will change the state of the
repo anyway.
That trailing slash is needed for legacy chunked mode, because it puts the
chunks in a subdir under the key. But, outside legacy chunked mode, it's BS
and it's amazing it worked at all with some webdav servers.
I needed BUILDEROPTIONS to allow passing flags to stack build, but it also
lets me move the -j1 out of the normal build path, and to debian/rules
which has the goal of having a reproducible build
The type checker should have noticed this, but the changes to mapM
that make it accept any Traversable hid the fact that it was not being
passed a list at all. Thus, what should have returned an empty list most
of the time instead returned [""] which was treated as the name of the
associated file, with disasterout consequences.
When I have time, I should add a test case checking what sync --content
drops. I should also consider replacing mapM with one re-specialized to
lists.
* Removed the webapp-secure build flag, rolling it into the webapp build
flag.
* Removed the quvi and tahoe build flags, which only adds aeson to
the core dependencies.
* Removed the feed build flag, which only adds feed to the core
dependencies.
Build flags have cost in both code complexity and also make Setup configure
have to work harder to find a usable set of build flags when some
dependencies are missing.
When Config.setConfig runs, it throws away the old Repo and loads a new
one. So, add an action to adjust the Repo so that -c settings will persist
across that.
The homomorphs are back, just encoded such that it doesn't crash in LANG=C
However, I noticed a bug in the old escaping; [pseudoSlash] was escaped the
same as ['/','/']. Fixed by using '%' to escape pseudoSlash. Which requires
doubling '%' to escape it, but that's already done in the escaping of
worktree filenames in a view, so is probably ok.
So, we need to look at both the file on disk to see if it's a annex link,
and the file in the index too. lookupFile doesn't look in the index if the file
is not present on disk.
Now available on mips, mipsel, but temporarily removed armel since build is
failing there.
If armel would just get caught up, I could remove the per-arch specs
entirely.
Maybe time to turn maint of this over to richih?
Decided it's too scary to make v6 unlocked files have 1 copy by default,
but that should be available to those who need it. This is consistent with
git-annex not dropping unused content without --force, etc.
* Added annex.thin setting, which makes unlocked files in v6 repositories
be hard linked to their content, instead of a copy. This saves disk
space but means any modification of an unlocked file will lose the local
(and possibly only) copy of the old version.
* Enable annex.thin by default on upgrade from direct mode to v6, since
direct mode made the same tradeoff.
* fix: Adjusts unlocked files as configured by annex.thin.
http://bugs.debian.org/807341
* Fix insecure temporary permissions when git-annex repair is used in
in a corrupted git repository.
Other calls to withTmpDir didn't leak any potentially private data,
but repair clones the git repository to a temp directory which is made
using the user's umask. Thus, it might expose a git repo that is
otherwise locked down.
* Fix potential denial of service attack when creating temp dirs.
Since withTmpDir used easily predictable temporary directory names,
an attacker could create foo.0, foo.1, etc and as long as it managed to
keep ahead of it, could prevent it from ever returning.
I'd rate this as a low utility DOS attack. Most attackers in a position
to do this could just fill up the disk /tmp is on to prevent anything
from writing temp files. And few parts of git-annex use withTmpDir
anyway, so DOS potential is quite low.
Examined all callers of withTmpDir and satisfied myself that
switching to mkdtmp and so getting a mode 700 temp dir wouldn't break any
of them.
Note that withTmpDirIn continues to not force temp dir to 700.
But it's only used for temp directories inside .git/annex/wherever/
so that is not a problem.
Also re-audited all other uses of temp files and dirs in git-annex.
