git annex init probes for crippled filesystems, and sets direct mode, as
well as `annex.crippledfilesystem`.
Avoid manipulating permissions of files on crippled filesystems.
That would likely cause an exception to be thrown.
Very basic support in Command.Add for cripped filesystems; avoids the lock
down entirely since doing it needs both permissions and hard links.
Will make this better soon.
New setting, can be used to disable autocommit of changed files by the
assistant, while it still does data syncing and other tasks.
Also wired into webapp UI
Now there's a Config type, that's extracted from the git config at startup.
Note that laziness means that individual config values are only looked up
and parsed on demand, and so we get implicit memoization for all of them.
So this is not only prettier and more type safe, it optimises several
places that didn't have explicit memoization before. As well as getting rid
of the ugly explicit memoization code.
Not yet done for annex.<remote>.* configuration settings.
It occurs to me that all config settings should be parsed once at startup,
into a proper ADT, rather than all this ad-hoc parsing and memoization. One
day..
Higher than any other remote, this is mostly due to the long retrieval
time, so it'd make sense to get a file from nearly any other remote.
(Unless it's behind a very slow connection.)
Make Utility.Process wrap the parts of System.Process that I use,
and add debug logging to them.
Also wrote some higher-level code that allows running an action
with handles to a processes stdin or stdout (or both), and checking
its exit status, all in a single function call.
As a bonus, the debug logging now indicates whether the process
is being run to read from it, feed it data, chat with it (writing and
reading), or just call it for its side effect.
Test suite now passes with -threaded!
I traced back all the hangs with -threaded to System.Cmd.Utils. It seems
it's just crappy/unsafe/outdated, and should not be used. System.Process
seems to be the cool new thing, so converted all the code to use it
instead.
In the process, --debug stopped printing commands it runs. I may try to
bring that back later.
Note that even SafeSystem was switched to use System.Process. Since that
was a modified version of code from System.Cmd.Utils, it needed to be
converted too. I also got rid of nearly all calls to forkProcess,
and all calls to executeFile, which I'm also doubtful about working
well with -threaded.
Baked into the code was an assumption that a repository's git directory
could be determined by adding ".git" to its work tree (or nothing for bare
repos). That fails when core.worktree, or GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are
used to separate the two.
This was attacked at the type level, by storing the gitdir and worktree
separately, so Nothing for the worktree means a bare repo.
A complication arose because we don't learn where a repository is bare
until its configuration is read. So another Location type handles
repositories that have not had their config read yet. I am not entirely
happy with this being a Location type, rather than representing them
entirely separate from the Git type. The new code is not worse than the
old, but better types could enforce more safety.
Added support for core.worktree. Overriding it with -c isn't supported
because it's not really clear what to do if a git repo's config is read, is
not bare, and is then overridden to bare. What is the right git directory
in this case? I will worry about this if/when someone has a use case for
overriding core.worktree with -c. (See Git.Config.updateLocation)
Also removed and renamed some functions like gitDir and workTree that
misused git's terminology.
One minor regression is known: git annex add in a bare repository does not
print a nice error message, but runs git ls-files in a way that fails
earlier with a less nice error message. This is because before --work-tree
was always passed to git commands, even in a bare repo, while now it's not.
annex.ssh-options, annex.rsync-options, annex.bup-split-options.
And adjust types to avoid the bugs that broke several config settings
recently. Now "annex." prefixing is enforced at the type level.
getConfig got a remote-specific config, and this confusing name caused it
to be used a couple of places that only were interested in global configs.
Rename to getRemoteConfig and make getConfig only get global configs.
There are no behavior changes here, but remote.<name>.annex-web-options
never actually worked (and per-remote web options is a very unlikely to be
useful case so I didn't make it work), so fix the documentation for it.
This overrides the trust.log, and is overridden by the command-line trust
parameters.
It would have been nicer to have Logs.Trust.trustMap just look up the
configuration for all remotes, but a dependency loop prevented that
(Remotes depends on Logs.Trust in several ways). So instead, look up
the configuration when building remotes, storing it in the same forcetrust
field used for the command-line trust parameters.
Many functions took the repo as their first parameter. Changing it
consistently to be the last parameter allows doing some useful things with
currying, that reduce boilerplate.
In particular, g <- gitRepo is almost never needed now, instead
use inRepo to run an IO action in the repo, and fromRepo to get
a value from the repo.
This also provides more opportunities to use monadic and applicative
combinators.
Only one place need to filter the list of remotes for ignored remotes:
keyPossibilities. Make the full list available to everything else.
This allows getting rid of the special case handing for --from and --to
to make ignored remotes not be ignored with those options.
