AFAICS all git-annex builds are using the git-lfs library not the vendored
copy.
Debian stable does have a too old haskell-git-lfs package to be able to
build git-annex from source, but there is not currently a backport of a
recent git-annex to Debian stable. And if they update the backport at some
point, they should be able to backport the library too.

When running eg git-annex get, for each file it has to read from and
write to the keys database. But it's reading exclusively from one table,
and writing to a different table. So, it is not necessary to flush the
write to the database before reading. This avoids writing the database
once per file, instead it will buffer 1000 changes before writing.
Benchmarking getting 1000 small files from a local origin,
git-annex get now takes 13.62s, down from 22.41s!
git-annex drop now takes 9.07s, down from 18.63s!
Wowowowowowowow!
(It would perhaps have been better if there were separate databases for
the two tables. At least it would have avoided this complexity. Ah well,
this is better than splitting the table in a annex.version upgrade.)

Well, actually, fix a typo that has always been in the implementation of
that. "inbacked" used to work, but let's not tell users about that; they
might try to use it and expect git-annex to keep supporting the typo..

I noticed that, using just the man pages, there is no real description
of what backends are, or what ones are available. Except for some
examples.
Added a git-annex-backends man page, that is just a stub, but at least
describes what they basically are, and tells how to find the supported
ons, and links to the backends web page.

When pointer files need to be restaged, they're first written to the
log, and then when the restage operation runs, it reads the log. This
way, if the git-annex process is interrupted before it can do the
restaging, a later git-annex process can do it.
Currently, this lets a git-annex get/drop command be interrupted and
then re-ran, and as long as it gets/drops additional files, it will
clean up after the interrupted command. But more changes are
needed to make it easier to restage after an interrupted process.
Kept using the git queue to run the restage action, even though the
list of files that it builds up for that action is not actually used by
the action. This could perhaps be simplified to make restaging a cleanup
action that gets registered, rather than using the git queue for it. But
I wasn't sure if that would cause visible behavior changes, when eg
dropping a large number of files, currently the git queue flushes
periodically, and so it restages incrementally, rather than all at the
end.
In restagePointerFiles, it reads the restage log twice, once to get
the number of files and size, and a second time to process it.
This seemed better than reading the whole file into memory, since
potentially a huge number of files could be in there. Probably the OS
will cache the file in memory and there will not be much performance
impact. It might be better to keep running tallies in another file
though. But updating that atomically with the log seems hard.
Also note that it's possible for calcRestageLog to see a different file
than streamRestageLog does. More files may be added to the log in
between. That is ok, it will only cause the filterprocessfaster heuristic to
operate with slightly out of date information, so it may make the wrong
choice for the files that got added and be a little slower than ideal.

For some reason, cabal 3.4.1.0 builds w/o the assistant and webapp,
even when the flag is explicitly turned on. Moving the build-depends from
inside the if flag section to the main build-depends somehow fixes this.
Since the webapp build deps are thus always available, there is no reason
not to build the webapp when building the assistant. So, got rid of the
webapp build flag. Kept the assistant build flag for now, since building
without it does at least still speed up the build.

--backend is no longer a global option, and is only accepted by commands
that actually need it.
Three commands that used to support backend but don't any longer are
watch, webapp, and assistant. It would be possible to make them support it,
but I doubt anyone used the option with these. And in the case of webapp
and assistant, the option was handled inconsistently, only taking affect
when the command is run with an existing git-annex repo, not when it
creates a new one.
Also, renamed GlobalOption etc to AnnexOption. Because there are many
options of this type that are not actually global (any more) and get
added to commands that need them.

based on doc/bugs/FreeBSD_patches.mdwn which indicates it works, though
sadly without anything more than a patch.
If this breaks anything it will be reverted.
Removed vendored copy of http-client-restricted, and removed the
HttpClientRestricted build flag that avoided that dependency.
http-client-restricted is in Debian stable, and the i386ancient build also
uses it, so I think this vendored copy is no longer needed.

The new ansi-terminal was needed for test concurrency, and the new
concurrent-output fixes several bugs. And it turns out this is all
that's needed to use the new tasty.
Sponsored-by: Kevin Mueller on Patreon
Dependency issues were looking difficult to support tasty-1.2 with that
build. Not using `after` only affects rerunning and limiting tests,
since tasty's concurrency is not used, so this build will just not
support that.
We are probably nearing end of life on this build; it also doesn't
support git-lfs or http-client-restricted. The 2.6.32 kernel it supports
is at this point 13 years old, and stopped being supported by linux LTS
developers 10 years ago. It was supported by RHEL 6.10 through November
2020. At this point, no new hardware should be shipping with this
kernel, but that probably does not stop certian embedded vendors from
shipping it. And there is certainly some hardware still using it. But
the returns from supporting it are diminishing, and the quality of the
build for it is also diminishing.

Using concurrent-output this is easy. Just have to check if tasty has
color enabled, and propagate it into the worker processes, some of which
will be run without a controlling console.
Also added a call to installSignalHandlers; I noticed that interrupting
the test suite could leave the console in a bad state and this fixes
that.
The ansi-terminal dependency is free, since tasty also depends on it.

* Removed support for accessing git remotes that use versions of
git-annex older than 6.20180312.
* git-annex-shell: Removed several commands that were only needed to
support git-annex versions older than 6.20180312.
(lockcontent, recvkey, sendkey, transferinfo, commit)
The P2P protocol was added in that version, and used ever since, so
this code was only needed for interop with older versions.
"git-annex-shell commit" is used by newer git-annex versions, though
unnecessarily so, because the p2pstdio command makes a single commit at
shutdown. Luckily, it was run with stderr and stdout sent to /dev/null,
and non-zero exit status or other exceptions are caught and ignored. So,
that was able to be removed from git-annex-shell too.
git-annex-shell inannex, recvkey, sendkey, and dropkey are still used by
gcrypt special remotes accessed over ssh, so those had to be kept.
It would probably be possible to convert that to using the P2P protocol,
but it would be another multi-year transition.
Some git-annex-shell fields were able to be removed. I hoped to remove
all of them, and the very concept of them, but unfortunately autoinit
is used by git-annex sync, and gcrypt uses remoteuuid.
The main win here is really in Remote.Git, removing piles of hairy fallback
code.

This is a result of an audit of every use of getInodeCaches,
to find places that misbehave when the annex object is not in the inode
cache, despite pointer files for the same key being in the inode cache.
Unfortunately, that is the case for objects that were in v7 repos that
upgraded to v8. Added a note about this gotcha to getInodeCaches.
Database.Keys.reconcileStaged, then annex.thin is set, would fail to
populate pointer files in this situation. Changed it to check if the
annex object is unmodified the same way inAnnex does, falling back to a
checksum if the inode cache is not recorded.

Most of the changes here involve global option parsing: GlobalSetter
changed so it can both run an Annex action to set state, but can also
change the AnnexRead value, which is immutable once the Annex monad is
running.
That allowed a debugselector value to be added to AnnexRead, seeded
from the git config. The --debugfilter option's GlobalSetter then updates
the AnnexRead.
This improved GlobalSetter can later be used to move more stuff to
AnnexRead. Things that don't involve a git config will be easier to
move, and probably a *lot* of things can be moved eventually.
fastDebug, while implemented, is not used anywhere yet. But it should be
fast..
This uses a DebugSelector, rather than debug levels, which will allow
for a later option like --debug-from=Process to only
see debuging about running processes.
The module name that contains the thing being debugged is used as the
DebugSelector (in most cases; does not need to be a hard and fast rule).
Debug calls were changed to add that. hslogger did not display
that first parameter to debugM, but the DebugSelector does get
displayed.
Also fastDebug will allow doing debugging in places that are used in
tight loops, with the DebugSelector coming from the Annex Reader
essentially for free. Not done yet.
persistent stopped using askLogFunc, and the thing to use is askLoggerIO
from monad-logger. Bumped the dep to the first version that contained that.
Note that the i386ancient build uses a newer monad-logger than 0.3.10,
so the new versioned dep should not break it, and presumably nothing else
either.

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.
Implemented by generalizing registerurl. Without the implicit batch mode
of registerurl since that is only a backwards compatability thing
(see commit 1d1054faa6).
Checksum as content is received from a remote git-annex repository, rather
than doing it in a second pass.
Not tested at all yet, but I imagine it will work!
Not implemented for any special remotes, and also not implemented for
copies from local remotes. It may be that, for local remotes, it will
suffice to use rsync, rely on its checksumming, and simply return Verified.
(It would still make a checksumming pass when cp is used for COW, I guess.)
annex.stalldetection can now be set to "true" to make git-annex do

I suspect this is a bug in cabal sdist, because with
Includes: Utility/libkqueue.h
the file is not included, but putting it in extra-files does
get it into the tarball.
This is conceptually very simple, just making a 1 that was hard coded be
exposed as a config option. The hard part was plumbing all that, and
dealing with complexities like reading it from git attributes at the
same time that numcopies is read.
Behavior change: When numcopies is set to 0, git-annex used to drop
content without requiring any copies. Now to get that (highly unsafe)
behavior, mincopies also needs to be set to 0. It seemed better to
remove that edge case, than complicate mincopies by ignoring it when
numcopies is 0.

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.
Still some issues to deal with, see TODO and XXX.
Here's what gets logged, for each key:

The "!Mj" are base64 encoded borg archive names, since mine were
dates and contained some characters not allowed in cid logs unescaped.
There were archives that each contained the key. This list will grow as
more borg backups are done and learned about.

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.
This will let a module that Annex.Content imports use inAnnex.
Unsure yet if I will need that, but this split still seems to make
sense, and Annex.Content was way too long so splitting it is good.
All properties changed to use them, except for
prop_encode_c_decode_c_roundtrip, which already filtered to ascii
for other reasons.
A few modules had to be split out, because Setup does not build-depend
on QuickCheck.
Had to split out some modules because getWorkingDirectory needs unix,
which is not a build-dep of configure.
