Also git-annex matchexpression --explain explains why its input
expression matches or fails to match.
When there is no limit, avoid explaining why the lack of limit
matches. This is also done when no preferred content expression is set,
although in a few cases it defaults to a non-empty matcher, which will
be explained.

This avoids bottlenecking on git check-ignore in a particular situation.
Also, there may have been a correctness issue with it not having updated it.
When the exportdb is already up-to-date, this is not expensive. And the
exportdb is updated elsewhere, so usually it is up-to-date.

Reading from the cidsdb is responsible for about 25% of the runtime of
an import. Since the cidmap is used to store the same information in
ram, the cidsdb is not written to during an import any longer. And so,
if it started off empty (and updateFromLog wasn't needed), those reads
can just be skipped.
This is kind of a cheesy optimisation, since after any import from any
special remote, the database will no longer be empty, so it's a single
use optimisation. But it's probably not uncommon to start by importing a
lot of files, and it can save a lot of time then.

Large speed up to importing trees from special remotes that contain a lot
of files, by only processing changed files.
Benchmarks:
Importing from a special remote that has 10000 files, that have all been
imported before, and 1 new file sped up from 26.06 to 2.59 seconds.
An import with no change and 10000 unchanged files sped up from 24.3 to
1.99 seconds.
Going up to 20000 files, an import with no changes sped up from
125.95 to 3.84 seconds.

For simplicity, I've not tried to make it handle History yet, so when
there is a history, a full import will still be done. Probably the right
way to handle history is to first diff from the current tree to the last
imported tree. Then, diff from the current tree to each of the
historical trees, and recurse through the history diffing from child tree
to parent tree.
I don't think that will need a record of the previously imported
historical trees, and so Logs.Import doesn't store them. Although I did
leave room for future expansion in that log just in case.
Next step will be to change importTree to importChanges and modify
recordImportTree et all to handle it, by using adjustTree.

This gets the trees built, but it does not use them. Next step will be
to remember the tree for next time an import is done, and diff between
old and new trees to find the files that have changed.
Added --missing to the mktree parameters. That only disables a check, so
it's ok to do everywhere mktree is used. It probably also speeds up
mktree to disable the check.
Note that git fsck does not complain about the resulting tree objects
that point to shas that are not in the repository. Even with --strict.
A quick benchmark, importing 10000 files, this slowed it down
from 2:04.06 to 2:04.28. So it will more than pay for itself.

Speed up importing trees from special remotes somewhat by avoiding
redundant writes to sqlite database.
Before, import would write to both the git-annex branch and also to the
sqlite database. But then the next time it was run, needsUpdateFromLog
would see the branch had changed, so run updateFromLog, which would make
the same writes to the sqlite database a second time.
Now import writes only to the git-annex branch. The next time it's run,
needsUpdateFromLog sees that the branch has changed and so calls
updateFromLog, which updates the sqlite database.
Why defer the write to the sqlite database like this? It seems that it
could write to the database as it goes, and at the end call
recordAnnexBranchTree to indicate that the information in the git-annex
branch has all been written to the cidsdb. That would avoid the second
import doing extra work.
But, there could be other processes running at the same time, and one of
them may update the git-annex branch, eg merging a remote git-annex branch
into it. Any cids logs on that merged git-annex branch would not be
reflected in the cidsdb yet. If the import then called
recordAnnexBranchTree, the cidsdb would never get updated with that merged
information.
I don't think there's a good way to prevent, or to detect that situation.
So, it can't call recordAnnexBranchTree at the end. So it might as well
wait until the next run and do updateFromLog then. It could instead do
updateFromLog at the end, but it's going to check needsUpdateFromLog
at the beginning anyway.
Note that the database writes were queued, so there is already a cidmap
that is used to remember changes that the current process has made.
So, omitting database writes can't change the behavior of the current
process.
Also note that thirdpartypopulatedimport uses recordcidkeyindb, which
reflects what it already did. That code path does not use the cidmap,
but does not need to query it either. It might be possible to make that
code path also only update the git-annex branch and not the db, but I
haven't checked.

Converted warning and similar to use StringContainingQuotedPath. Most
warnings are static strings, some do refer to filepaths that need to be
quoted, and others don't need quoting.
Note that, since quote filters out control characters of even
UnquotedString, this makes all warnings safe, even when an attacker
sneaks in a control character in some other way.
When json is being output, no quoting is done, since json gets its own
quoting.
This does, as a side effect, make warning messages in json output not
be indented. The indentation is only needed to offset warning messages
underneath the display of the file they apply to, so that's ok.

giveup changed to filter out control characters. (It is too low level to
make it use StringContainingQuotedPath.)
error still does not, but it should only be used for internal errors,
where the message is not attacker-controlled.
Changed a lot of existing error to giveup when it is not strictly an
internal error.
Of course, other exceptions can still be thrown, either by code in
git-annex, or a library, that include some attacker-controlled value.
This does not guard against those.

When importing from versioned remotes, fix tracking of the content of
deleted files.
Only S3 supports versioning so far, so only it was affected.
But, the draft import/export interface for external remotes also seemed to
need a change, so that versionedExport could be set.
This partly fixes an issue where there are duplicate files in the
special remote, and the first file gets swapped with another duplicate,
or deleted. The swap case is fixed by this, the deleted case will need
other changes.
This makes retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier take a list of allowed
ContentIdentifier, same as storeExportWithContentIdentifier,
removeExportWithContentIdentifier, and
checkPresentExportWithContentIdentifier.
Of the special remotes that support importtree, borg is a special case
and does not use content identifiers, S3 I assume can't get mixed up
like this, directory certainly has the problem, and adb also appears to
have had the problem.

WIP: This is mostly complete, but there is a problem: createDirectoryUnder
throws an error when annex.dbdir is set to outside the git repo.
annex.dbdir is a workaround for filesystems where sqlite does not work,
due to eg, the filesystem not properly supporting locking.
It's intended to be set before initializing the repository. Changing it
in an existing repository can be done, but would be the same as making a
new repository and moving all the annexed objects into it. While the
databases get recreated from the git-annex branch in that situation, any
information that is in the databases but not stored in the branch gets
lost. It may be that no information ever gets stored in the databases
that cannot be reconstructed from the branch, but I have not verified
that.

This improves the borg special remote memory usage, by
letting it only load one archive's worth of filenames into memory at a
time, and building up a larger tree out of the chunks.
When a borg repository has many archives, git-annex could easily OOM
before. Now, it will use only memory proportional to the number of
annexed keys in an archive.
Minor implementation wart: Each new chunk re-opens the content
identifier database, and also a new vector clock is used for each chunk.
This is a minor innefficiency only; the use of continuations makes
it hard to avoid, although putting the database handle into a Reader
monad would be one way to fix it.
It may later be possible to extend the ImportableContentsChunkable
interface to remotes that are not third-party populated. However, that
would perhaps need an interface that does not use continuations.
The ImportableContentsChunkable interface currently does not allow
populating the top of the tree with anything other than subtrees. It
would be easy to extend it to allow putting files in that tree, but borg
doesn't need that so I left it out for now.

RemoteGitConfig parsing looks for annex.bwlimit when a remote
does not have a per-remote config for it, so no need for a separate
gobal config.
Sponsored-by: Svenne Krap on Patreon
Added annex.bwlimit and remote.name.annex-bwlimit config that works for git
remotes and many but not all special remotes.
This nearly works, at least for a git remote on the same disk. With it set
to 100kb/1s, the meter displays an actual bandwidth of 128 kb/s, with
occasional spikes to 160 kb/s. So it needs to delay just a bit longer...
I'm unsure why.
However, at the beginning a lot of data flows before it determines the
right bandwidth limit. A granularity of less than 1s would probably improve
that.
And, I don't know yet if it makes sense to have it be 100ks/1s rather than
100kb/s. Is there a situation where the user would want a larger
granularity? Does granulatity need to be configurable at all? I only used that
format for the config really in order to reuse an existing parser.
This can't support for external special remotes, or for ones that
themselves shell out to an external command. (Well, it could, but it
would involve pausing and resuming the child process tree, which seems
very hard to implement and very strange besides.) There could also be some
built-in special remotes that it still doesn't work for, due to them not
having a progress meter whose displays blocks the bandwidth using thread.
But I don't think there are actually any that run a separate thread for
downloads than the thread that displays the progress meter.

This solves the problem that import of such files gets confused and
converts them back to annexed files.
The import code already used GIT keys internally when it determined a
file should not be annexed. So now when it sees a GIT key that export
used, it already does the right thing.
This also means that even older version of git-annex can import and will
do the right thing, once a fixed version has exported. Still, there may
be other complications around upgrades; still need to think it all
through.
Moved gitShaKey and keyGitSha from Key to Annex.Export since they're
only used for export/import.
Documented GIT keys in backends, since they do appear in the git-annex
branch now.

Added LinkType to ProvidedInfo, and unified MatchingKey with
ProvidedInfo. They're both used in the same way, so there was no real
reason to keep separate.
Note that addLocked and addUnlocked still set matchNeedsFileName,
because to handle MatchingFile, they do need it. However, they
don't use it when MatchingInfo is provided. This should be ok,
the --branch case will be able skip checking matchNeedsFileName,
since it will provide a filename in any case.
When annex.stalldetection is not enabled, and a likely stall is detected,
display a suggestion to enable it.
Note that the progress meter display is not taken down when displaying
the message, so it will display like this:
0% 8 B 0 B/s
Transfer seems to have stalled. To handle stalling transfers, configure annex.stalldetection
0% 10 B 0 B/s
Although of course if it's really stalled, it will never update
again after the message. Taking down the progress meter and starting
a new one doesn't seem too necessary given how unusual this is,
also this does help show the state it was at when it stalled.
Use of uninterruptibleCancel here is ok, the thread it's canceling
only does STM transactions and sleeps. The annex thread that gets
forked off is separate to avoid it being canceled, so that it
can be joined back at the end.
A module cycle required moving from dupState the precaching of the
remote list. Doing it at startConcurrency should cover all the cases
where the remote list is used in concurrent actions.

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.
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.
This is to support, eg a borg repo as a special remote, which is
populated not by running git-annex commands, but by using borg. Then
git-annex sync lists the content of the remote, learns which files are
annex objects, and treats those as present in the remote.
So, most of the import machinery is reused, to a new purpose. While
normally importtree maintains a remote tracking branch, this does not,
because the files stored in the remote are annex object files, not
user-visible filenames. But, internally, a git tree is still generated,
of the files on the remote that are annex objects. This tree is used
by retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier, etc. As with other import/export
remotes, that the tree is recorded in the export log, and gets grafted
into the git-annex branch.
importKey changed to be able to return Nothing, to indicate when an
ImportLocation is not an annex object and so should be skipped from
being included in the tree.
It did not seem to make sense to have git-annex import do this, since
from the user's perspective, it's not like other imports. So only
git-annex sync does it.
Note that, git-annex sync does not yet download objects from such
remotes that are preferred content. importKeys is run with
content downloading disabled, to avoid getting the content of all
objects. Perhaps what's needed is for seekSyncContent to be run with these
remotes, but I don't know if it will just work (in particular, it needs
to avoid trying to transfer objects to them), so I skipped that for now.
(Untested and unused as of yet.)

MatchingKey is not the thing to use when matching on actual worktreee
files.
Fix reversion in 8.20201116 that made include= and exclude= in
preferred/required content expressions match a path relative to the current
directory, rather than the path from the top of the repository.
This is groundwork for using git-annex transferkeys to run transfers,
in order to allow stalled transfers to be interrupted and retried.
The new upload and download are closer to what git-annex transferkeys
does, so the plan is to make them use it.
Then things that were left using upload' and download' won't recover
from stalls. Notably, that includes import and export. But
at least get/move/copy will be able to. (Also the assistant hopefully,
but not yet.)

Added annex.adjustedbranchrefresh git config to update adjusted branches
set up by git-annex adjust --unlock-present/--hide-missing.
Note, in a few cases, I was not able to make the adjusted branch
be updated in calls to moveAnnex, because information about what
file corresponds to a key is not available. They are:
* If two files point to one file, then eg, `git annex get foo` will
update the branch to unlock foo, but will not unlock bar, because it
does not know about it. Might be fixable by making `git annex get
bar` do something besides skipping bar?
* git-annex-shell recvkey likewise (so sends over ssh from old versions
of git-annex)
* git-annex setkey
* git-annex transferkey if the user does not use --file
* git-annex multicast sends keys with no associated file info
Doing a single full refresh at the end, after any incremental refresh,
will deal with those edge cases.
isKnownImportLocation does a database lookup and there's an index
to make that lookup fast, so it's probably faster than talking to git
check-ignore. Checking the matcher is faster still.
While before the gitignore check was added it did not need to always
check isknown, now it does, because it's that or the more expensive
notignored. But at least we can skip notignored when a file is known,
which will often be the common case: Importing from a remote that's been
exported to, and/or imported from before, only new files will not be
known, so only those will need to check notignored.
At first, I had this:
(matches <&&> (isknown <||> notignored)) <||> isknown
Notice that checks isknown every time, whether it matches or not.
So, it's no slower to instead do this:
isknown <||> (matches <&&> notignored)
That has the benefit that, when it's known, it doesn't need to run
matches, which while faster than isknown, is still going to use some CPU.
And it perhaps more clearly expresses the condition: Any known file is
wanted, otherwise it's down to what matches and is not ignored.

It seemed best to do this, for consistency with every other way files can

sync: When run without --content, import without copying from
importtree=yes directory special remotes. (Other special remotes may
support this later as well.)
This commit was sponsored by Svenne Krap on Patreon.
This avoids import with --no-content and with --content potentially
generating two different trees, leading to a merge conflict when run in
two different clones of a repo. And it's necessary groundwork to make
git-annex sync --no-content import from special remotes that support
importKey.
Only the directory special remote currently supports importKey, and it
generates the same key as git-annex usually does, so there is no
behavior change for it.
Future special remotes will need to take care when adding importKey,
if it generates different keys. Added some warnings about that to
comments.

Import small files into git, the same as is done when importing with content.
Which means, for small files, --no-content does download them.
If the largefiles expression needs the file content available
(due to mimetype or mimeencoding being used), the import will fail.
This commit was sponsored by Jake Vosloo on Patreon.
The latter is for git-annex matchexpression and matching against it can
throw an exception. Splitting out the former reduces the potential for
mistakes and avoids needing to worry about matching against that
throwing an exception.
This is more groundwork for matching largefiles while importing,
without downloading content.
This commit was sponsored by Graham Spencer on Patreon.
Anything that needs to examine the file content will fail to match,
or fall back to other available information. But the intent is that the
matcher be checked for matchNeedsFileContent and only be used if it does
not, so the exact behavior doesn't much matter as it should never
happen.
The real point of this is to not need to provide a dummy content file
when matching.

No behavior changes (hopefully), just adding SeekInput and plumbing it
through to the JSON display code for later use.
Over the course of 2 grueling days.
withFilesNotInGit reimplemented in terms of seekHelper
should be the only possible behavior change. It seems to test as
behaving the same.
Note that seekHelper dummies up the SeekInput in the case where
segmentPaths' gives up on sorting the expanded paths because there are
too many input paths. When SeekInput later gets exposed as a json field,
that will result in it being a little bit wrong in the case where
100 or more paths are passed to a git-annex command. I think this is a
subtle enough problem to not matter. If it does turn out to be a
problem, fixing it would require splitting up the input
parameters into groups of < 100, which would make git ls-files run
perhaps more than is necessary. May want to revisit this, because that
fix seems fairly low-impact.
Only supported by some special remotes: directory
I need to check the rest and they're currently missing methods until I do.
git-annex sync --no-content does not yet use this to do imports
The ContentIdentifier can contain almost anything, so could have characters
that are not fit for the filesystem, or might be longer than a key usually
is, or contain a newline, or .... genKeyName deals with those problems.
This should not present a back-compat issue, because this is a temporary
key used while downloading the imported file, before the real key for it
can be generated.
retrieveExport is part of ongoing transition to make remote methods
throw exceptions, rather than silently hide them.
getKey very rarely fails, and when it does it's always for the same reason
(user configured annex.backend to url for some reason). So, this will
avoid dealing with Nothing everywhere it's used.
