This drops the >>! and >>? with the nice low fixity. IfElse does have
undocumented >>=>>! and >>=>>? operators, but I deem that too fishy.
Anyway, using whenM and unlessM is easier; I sometimes mixed the operators
up.
git-annex FTBFS on s390, mips, powerpc, sparc. That StatFS code is failing
on all of them. At least on s390, the failure appears as:
Just (FileSystemStats {fsStatBlockSize = 4096, fsStatBlockCount = 0,
fsStatByteCount = 0, fsStatBytesFree = 0, fsStatBytesAvailable = 0,
fsStatBytesUsed = 0})
While I don't understand why this is happening, or how to fix it,
bandaid over it by checking for obviously bad values and returning Nothing.
That disables disk free space checking, but at least git-annex will work.

Fails with gpg 2. Instead, use a different environment variable.
The clean fix would instead be to add an annex.gpg-options configuration.
But, that would be rather a lot of work and it's unlikely it would be
useful for much else.
Only set --no-tty when GPG_AGENT_INFO is set and batch mode is used.
In the test suite, set GPG_AGENT_INFO to /dev/null to avoid the test suite
relying on /dev/tty.
Dotfiles, and files inside dotdirs are not added by "git annex add" unless
the dotfile or directory is explicitly listed. So "git annex add ." will
add all untracked files in the current directory except for those in
dotdirs.
One reason for this is that it will make git-annex more usable with vcsh,
where you don't want "vcsh big annex add" to check in all the dotfiles
that are already versioned in other repositories.
(If you're using vcsh for repos that contain non-dotfiles, this won't help,
and you'll need to .gitignore such things, but this will cover the common
case.)
A more general reason why this seems like a good idea is the same reason ls
ignores dotfiles, just the unix convention that they are cruft that is kept
out of the way most of the time.
All the other git-annex commands still do deal with any dotfiles that do
get into the annex. This seemed right because if I've gone to the trouble
to add a dotfile, I will want "git annex get ." to get it along with
everything else.
I was happily able to repurpose some code from Git.Filename to handle this.
I remember writing that code... a whole afternoon at a coffee shop, after
which I felt I'd struggled with Haskell and git, and sorta lost, in needing
to write this nasty peice of code. But was also pleased at the use of a
pair of functions and quickcheck that allowed me to get it 100% right.
So, turns out I not only got it right, but the code wasn't as special-purpose
as I'd feared. Yay!
This is built for speed; a format string is parsed once, generating a
Format, that can be applied repeatedly to different sets of variables
to generate output.
The only fully supported thing is to have the main repository on one disk,
and .git/annex on another. Only commands that move data in/out of the annex
will need to copy it across devices.
There is only partial support for putting arbitrary subdirectories of
.git/annex on different devices. For one thing, but this can require more
copies to be done. For example, when .git/annex/tmp is on one device, and
.git/annex/journal on another, every journal write involves a call to
mv(1). Also, there are a few places that make hard links between various
subdirectories of .git/annex with createLink, that are not handled.
In the common case without cross-device, the new moveFile is actually
faster than renameFile, avoiding an unncessary stat to check that a file
(not a directory) is being moved. Of course if a cross-device move is
needed, it is as slow as mv(1) of the data.
This is actually tricky, 45bbf210a1 added
the escaping because it's needed for rsync that does go over ssh.
So I had to detect whether the remote's rsync url will use ssh or not,
and vary the escaping.
