Try to enable special remotes configured with autoenable=yes when git-annex
auto-initialization happens in a new clone of an existing repo. Previously,
git-annex init had to be explicitly run to enable them. That was a bit of a
wart of a special case for users to need to keep in mind.
Special remotes cannot display anything when autoenabled this way, to avoid
interfering with the output of git-annex query commands.
Any error messages will be hidden, and if it fails, nothing is displayed.
The user will realize the remote isn't enable when they try to use it,
and can run git-annex init manually then to try the autoenable again and
see what failed.
That seems like a reasonable approach, and it's less complicated than
communicating something across a pipe in order to display it as a side
message. Other reason not to do that is that, if the first command the
user runs is one like git-annex find that has machine readable output,
any message about autoenable failing would need to not be displayed anyway.
So better to not display a failure message ever, for consistency.
(Had to split out Remote.List.Util to avoid an import cycle.)
Fix a crash or potentially not all files being exported when sync -J
--content is used with an export remote.
Crash as described in fixed bug report.
waitForAllRunningCommandActions inserted in several points where all the
commandActions started before need to have finished before moving on to
the next stage of the export. A race across those points could have
maybe resulted in not all files being exported, or a wrong tree being
export.
For example, changeExport starting up an action like
a rename of A to B. Then, with that action still running, fillExport
uploading a new A, *before* the rename occurred. That race seems
unlikely to have happened. There are some other ones that this also
fixes.
Already supported --json, but not that.
Also checked all other commands that only support --json, and the only
other one that does transfers is fsck (--from), which it did not seem worth
adding --json-progress to really.
Based on the last three comments on this thread it was going to keep
collecting complaints from people who glanced at the thread, did not
notice it was for an old, solved issue, and decided to followup.
Also, the tone of this thread, while very constructive in some places,
is very very outraged in others. This apparently leads people to feel
that randomly saying they don't trust me is a reasonable thing to post
at the end of a long thread they have not bothered to read all of, by
their own admission.
So this thread seems to have become a source of confusion for users, and
a source of pain and disincentive to worm on git-annex for me. Yes, I'm
taking the rest of today to go do something actually fun obviously.
Fix bug that made enableremote of S3 and webdav remotes, that have
embedcreds=yes, fail to set up the embedded creds, so accessing the remotes
failed.
(Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7 in when reworking all the
remote configs to be parsed.)
Root problem is that parseEncryptionConfig excludes all other config keys
except encryption ones, so it is then unable to find the
credPairRemoteField. And since that field is not required to be
present, it proceeds as if it's not, rather than failing in any visible
way.
This causes it to not find any creds, and so it does not cache
them. When when the S3 remote tries to make a S3 connection, it finds no
creds, so assumes it's being used in no-creds mode, and tries to find a
public url. With no public url available, it fails, but the failure doesn't
say a lack of creds is the problem.
Fix is to provide setRemoteCredPair with a ParsedRemoteConfig, so the full
set of configs of the remote can be parsed. A bit annoying to need to
parse the remote config before the full config (as returned by
setRemoteCredPair) is available, but this avoids the problem.
I assume webdav also had the problem by inspection, but didn't try to
reproduce it with it.
Also, getRemoteCredPair used getRemoteConfigValue to get a ProposedAccepted
String, but that does not seem right. Now that it runs that code, it
crashed saying it had just a String.
Remotes that have already been enableremoted, and so lack the cached creds
file will work after this fix, because getRemoteCredPair will extract
the creds from the remote config, writing the missing file.

One way this can be used is to remove all urls for some website that went
away:
git-annex whereis --format '${file} ${url}\0' | \
grep -z whatever.com | git-annex rmurl --batch -z
Combining ${url} and ${uuid} is a bit of a combinatorial explosion.
It didn't seem worth only outputting a uuid alongside an url belonging
to it, so each uuid is output beside each url.
Finishes the transition to make remote methods throw exceptions, rather
than silently hide them.
A bit on the fence about this one, because when renameExport fails,
it falls back to deleting instead, and so does the user care why it failed?
However, it did let me clean up several places in the code.

When storing content on remote fails, always display a reason why.
Since the Storer used by special remotes already did, this mostly affects
git remotes, but not entirely. For example, if git-lfs failed to connect to
the endpoint, it used to silently return False.
This relicates git's behavior. It adds a few stat calls for the command
line parameters, so there is some minor slowdown, but even with thousands
of parameters it will not be very noticable, and git does the same statting
in similar circumstances.
Note that this does not prevent eg "git annex add symlink"; the symlink
will be added to git as usual. And "git annex find symlink" will silently
list nothing as well. It's only "symlink/foo" or "subdir/symlink/foo" that
triggers the warning.

Also, truncate filenames provided by other remotes if they're too long,
when --preserve-filename is not used. That seems to have been omitted
before by accident.
