Solves the issue with preferred content expressions and dropping that
I mentioned yesterday. My solution was to add a parameter to specify a set
of repositories where content should be assumed not to be present. When
deciding whether to drop, it can put the current repository in, and then
if the expression fails to match, the content can be dropped.
Using yesterday's example "(not copies=trusted:2) and (not in=usbdrive)",
when the local repo is one of the 2 trusted copies, the drop check will
see only 1 trusted copy, so the expression matches, and so the content will
not be dropped.
This includes a full parser for the boolean expressions in the log,
that compiles them into Matchers. Those matchers are not used yet.
A complication is that matching against an expression should never
crash git-annex with an error. Instead, vicfg checks that the expressions
parse. If a bad expression (or an expression understood by some future
git-annex version) gets into the log, it'll be ignored.
Most of the code in Limit couldn't fail anyway, but I did have to make
limitCopies check its parameter first, and return an error if it's bad,
rather than erroring at runtime.
Incomplete; I need to finish parsing and saving. This will also be used
for editing transfer control expresssions.
Removed the group display from the status output, I didn't really
like that format, and vicfg can be used to see as well as edit rempository
group membership.
The --copies flag now takes an argument of the form:
trustlevel:number or number
If a trust level is specified the command is limited to files
with at least 'number' copies of this 'trustlevel'.
Do not need to check the location log in this case, can just check inAnnex.
This is both an optimisation and perhaps a correctness measure
(fsck --in . should fsck files even if the location log is damaged.)
filterM is not a good idea if you were streaming in a large list of files.
Fixing this memory leak that I introduced earlier today was a PITA because
to avoid the filterM, it's necessary to do the filtering only after
building up the data structures like BackendFile, and that means each
separate data structure needs it own function to apply the filter,
at least in this naive implementation.
There is also a minor performance regression, when using copy/drop/get/fsck
with a filter, git is now asked to look up attributes for all files,
since that now comes before the filter is applied. This is only a very
minor thing, since getting the attributes is very fast and --exclude was
probably not typically used to speed it up.
find: Rather than only showing files whose contents are present, when used
with --exclude --copies or --in, displays all files that match the
specified conditions.
Note that this is a behavior change for find --exclude! Old behavior
can be gotten with find --in . --exclude=...
I dislike -( and -), but without using a different option parser, can't
easily use bare parens.
--and and --or will become more useful once there are more interesting
limits than --exclude
