* sync: Previously, when run in a branch with a slash in its name,
such as "foo/bar", the sync branch was "synced/bar". That conflicted
with the sync branch used for branch "bar", so has been changed to
"synced/foo/bar".
* adjust: Previously, when adjusting a branch with a slash in its name,
such as "foo/bar", the adjusted branch was "adjusted/bar(unlocked)".
That conflicted with the adjusted branch used for branch "bar",
so has been changed to "adjusted/foo/bar(unlocked)"
* Also, running sync in an adjusted branch did not correctly sync
changes back to the parent branch when it had a slash in its name.
This bug has been fixed.
Eliminate use of Git.Ref.under and Git.Ref.basename; using
Git.Ref.underBase and Git.Ref.base make everything handle deep branches
correctly.
Probably noone was adjusting deep branches, and v6 is still experimental
anyway, so I'm not going to worry about the mess that was left by that bug.
In the case of git-annex sync, using a fixed git-annex with an old unfixed
one will mean they use different sync branches for a deep branch, and so
they may stop syncing until the old one is upgraded. However, that's only
a problem when syncing between repositories without going via a central
bare repository. Added a warning about this to the CHANGELOG, but it's
probably not going to affect many people at all.

Avoid threads emitting json at the same time and scrambling, which was
still possible even with the buffering, just less likely.
Converted json IO actions to JSONChunk data too.
This makes -Jn work with --json and --quiet, where before
setting -Jn disabled those options.
Concurrent json output is currently a mess though since threads output
chunks over top of one-another.
Only done in -J mode because only if there's concurrency can downloading
from two remotes be faster. Without concurrency, it's likely the case that
sequential downloads from the same remote are faster than switching back
and forth between two remotes.
There is some hairy MVar code here, but basically it just keeps
the activeremotes MVar full except when deciding which remote to assign
to a thread.
Also affects gets by sync --content -J

This was disabled in commit 61ccf95004,
because only the assistant used them, and they were clutter. But, now
--failed also uses them.
Remove the failure log files after successful transfers. Should avoid
most of the clutter problems.
Commit 61ccf95004 mentions a subtle behavior
change, which has now been reverted:
There is one behavior change from this. If glacier is being used, and a
manual git annex get --from glacier fails because the file isn't available
yet, the assistant will no longer later see that failed transfer file and
retry the get.
Note that get --from foo --failed will get things that a previous get --from bar
tried and failed to get, etc. I considered making --failed only retry
transfers from the same remote, but it was easier, and seems more useful,
to not have the same remote requirement.
Noisy due to some refactoring into Types/
metadata --json output format has changed, adding a inner json object
named "fields" which contains only the fields and their values.
This should be easier to parse than the old format, which mixed up
metadata fields with other keys in the json object.
Any consumers of the old format will need to be updated.
This adds a dependency on unordered-containers for parsing MetaData
from JSON, but it's a free dependency; aeson pulls in that library.
Keeping Text.JSON use for now, because it seems a better fit for most of
the commands, which don't use very structured JSON objects, but just output
whatever fields suites them. But this lets Aeson be used when a more
structured data type is available to serialize to JSON.
Show branch:file that is being operated on.
I had to make ActionItem a type and not a type class because
withKeyOptions' passed two different types of values when using the type
class, and I could not get the type checker to accept that.
Added --branch option to copy, drop, fsck, get, metadata, mirror, move, and
whereis commands. This option makes git-annex operate on files that are
included in a specified branch (or other treeish).
The names of the files from the branch that are being operated on are not
displayed yet; only the keys. Displaying the filenames will need changes
to every affected command.
Also, note that --branch can be specified repeatedly. This is not really
documented, but seemed worth supporting, especially since we may later want
the ability to operate on all branches matching a refspec. However, when
operating on two branches that contain the same key, that key will be
operated on twice.
I noticed move --to failing when there was no disk space. The file was sent
to the remote, but it crashed before it could be dropped locally. This
could fix that.
Added guard in Annex.Transfer to prevent this problem at a deeper level.
I'm unhappy ith NoUUID, but having Maybe UUID instead wouldn't help either
if nothing checked that there was a UUID. Since there legitimately need to
be Remotes that do not have a UUID, I can't see a way to fix it at the type
level, short making there be two separate types of Remotes.
Removed the instance LensGpgEncParams RemoteConfig because it encouraged
code that does not take the RemoteGitConfig into account.
RemoteType's setup was changed to take a RemoteGitConfig,
although the only place that is able to provide a non-empty one is
enableremote, when it's changing an existing remote. This led to several
folow-on changes, and got RemoteGitConfig plumbed through.
There's a potential race where the smudge filter is run at the same time an
object is being downloaded. If the download finished after the inAnnex
check, and before the keys db was updated, the associated file would not
get updated with the downloaded content.
I'm not sure this closes the race; it may only narrow the window. Problem
is, the keys database needs to communicate between two different processes.
In the case of the assistant, the transferkeys command is the other
process, and it closes the db handle after getting the file. So, it should
re-open the database and so see the update that the smudge filter has
written to it. But, what if the smudge filter takes a while to update the
database?
The keys database handle needs to be closed after merging, because the
smudge filter, in another process, updates the database. Old cached info
can be read for a while from the open database handle; closing it ensures
that the info written by the smudge filter is available.
This is pretty horribly ad-hoc, and it's especially nasty that the
transferrer closes the database every time.
Could not think of a foolproof way to detect if the old adjusted branch was
just behind the current branch. It's possible that the user amended the
adjusting commit at the head of the adjusted branch, for example.
I decided to bail in this situation, instead of just entering the old
branch, so that if git annex adjust succeeds the user is always in a
*current* adjusted branch, not some old and out of date one.
What could perhaps be done is enter the old branch and then update it. But
that seems too magical; the user may have rebased master or something or
may not want to propigate the changes from the old branch. Best to error
out.
