Made --from and --to command-specific options.
Added generic storage for values of command-specific options,
which allows removing some of the special case fields in AnnexState.
(Also added generic storage for command-specific flags, although there are
not yet any.)
Note that this storage uses a Map, so repeatedly looking up the same value
is slightly more expensive than looking up an AnnexState field. But, the
value can be looked up once in the seek stage, transformed as necessary,
and passed in a closure to the start stage, and this avoids that overhead.
Still, I'm hesitant to use this for things like force or fast flags.
It's probably best to reserve it for flags that are only used by a few
commands, or options like --from and --to that it's important only be
allowed to be used with commands that implement them, to avoid user
confusion.
The lock will only persist during the perform stage, so the content must
be removed from the annex then, rather than in the cleanup stage.
(No lock is actually taken yet.)
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.
This new approach allows filtering out checks from the default set that are
not appropriate for a command, rather than having to list every check
that is appropriate. It also reduces some boilerplate.
Haskell does not define Eq for functions, so I had to go a long way around
with each check having a unique id. Meh.
These were a mistake, they make the type signatures harder to read and
less flexible. The CommandSeek, CommandStart, CommandPerform, and
CommandCleanup types were a good idea, but composing them with the
parameters expected is going too far.
The only remaining vestiage of backends is different types of keys. These
are still called "backends", mostly to avoid needing to change user interface
and configuration. But everything to do with storing keys in different
backends was gone; instead different types of remotes are used.
In the refactoring, lots of code was moved out of odd corners like
Backend.File, to closer to where it's used, like Command.Drop and
Command.Fsck. Quite a lot of dead code was removed. Several data structures
became simpler, which may result in better runtime efficiency. There should
be no user-visible changes.
It compiles. It sorta works. Several subcommands are FIXME marked and
broken, because things that used to accept separate --backend and --key
params need to be changed to accept just a --key that encodes all the key
info, now that there is metadata in keys.
* Improved temp file handling. Transfers of content can now be resumed
from temp files later; the resume does not have to be the immediate
next git-annex run.
* unused: Include partially transferred content in the list.
Rename Locations functions for better consitency, and make their values
more consistent too.
Used </> rather than manually building paths. There are still more places
that manually do so, but are tricky, due to the behavior of </> when
the second FilePath is absolute. So I only changed places where
it obviously was relative.
