Both -J and --json needed importfeed to be refactored to use commandAction.
That was difficult, because of the interrelated nature of downloading feeds
and then downloading files from feeds, both of which needed to use
commandAction. And then checking for problems in feeds has to come after
these actions, which may be run as background jobs.
As for --json support, it's most of the way there, but still has some
warts, so I didn't enable jsonOptions yet. The warts include:
- An initial empty json record is displayed by getCache.
- Input is not populated, should be feed url
- feedProblem at end will not be captured by --json-error-messages

Dunno how useful this will be, since about all that's accessible from
the json is whether it succeeded or failed, and the error messages
which were already on stderr.
Note that, when autoenabling a special remote, it would be possible for
one to stop and prompt or output not using Messages and so not output as
part of the json. I don't think that happens, but I'm not 100% sure
something doesn't manage to break it. Of course, the same could be the
case for commands that transfer objects. Using Annex.Init.autoEnableSpecialRemotes
in --json mode would avoid the problem, but I've chosen to wait until I
know it's needed to use it.

Generalized AddJSONActionItemField to allow it to add several fields. Not entirely
happy with that, since the names of the fields have to be carefully chosen to
not conflict with other json fields. And fields added that way can't be parsed
back in FromJSON, except for the "fields" field that is special cased for metadata.
Still, I couldn't see another way to do it.
Also, omit file:null from the json output. Which does affect other commands,
eg git-annex whereis --all --json. Hopefully that won't break something that expects
a null file. If it did, that could be reverted, but it would be ugly to have
file:null in the unused --json

For expire, the normal output is unchanged, but the --json output includes the uuid
in machine parseable form. Which could be very useful for this somewhat obscure
command. That needed ActionItemUUID to be implemented, which seemed like a lot
of work, but then ---
I had been going to skip implementing them for trust, untrust, dead, semitrust,
and describe, but putting the uuid in the json is useful information, it tells
what uuid git-annex picked given the input. It was not hard to support
these once ActionItemUUID was implemented.

This also changes addunused to display the names of the files that it adds.
That seems like a general usability improvement, and not displaying the input
number does not seem likely to be a problem to a user, since the filename
is based on the key. Displaying the filename was necessary to get it and the key
included in the json.
dropunused does not include the key in the json. It would be possible to
add, but would need more changes. And I doubt that dropunused --json
would be used in a situation where a program cared which keys were
dropped. Note that drop --unused does have the key in its json, so such
a program could just use it. Or could just dropkey --batch with the
specific keys it wants to drop if it cares about specific keys.

When a nonexistant file is passed to a command and --json-error-messages
is enabled, output a JSON object indicating the problem.
(But git ls-files --error-unmatch still displays errors about such files in
some situations.)
I don't like the duplication of the name of the command introduced by this,
but I can't see a great way around it. One way would be to pass the Command
instead.
When json is not enabled, the stderr is unchanged. This is necessary
because some commands like find have custom output. So dislaying
"find foo not found" would be wrong. So had to complicate things with
toplevelFileProblem having different output with and without json.
When not using --json-error-messages but still using --json, it displays
the error to stderr, but does display a json object without the error. It
does have an errorid though. Unsure how useful that behavior is.

This reverts commit a325524454.
Turns out this was predicated on an incorrect belief that json output
didn't already sometimes lack the "key" field. Since json output already
can when `giveup` was used, it seems unncessary to add a whole new
option for this.
Added a --json-exceptions option, which makes some exceptions be output in json.
The distinction is that --json-error-messages is for messages relating
to a particular ActionItem, while --json-exceptions is for messages that
are not, eg ones for a file that does not exist.
It's unfortunate that we need two switches with such a fine distinction
between them, but I'm worried about maintaining backwards compatability
in the json output, to avoid breaking anything that parses it, and this was
the way to make sure I didn't.
toplevelWarning is generally used for the latter kind of message. And
the other calls to toplevelWarning could be converted to showException. The
only possible gotcha is that if toplevelWarning is ever called after
starting acting on a file, it will add to the --json-error-messages of the
json displayed for that file and converting to showException would be a
behavior change. That seems unlikely, but I didn't convery everything to
avoid needing to satisfy myself it was not a concern.

enableremote: Support enableremote of a git remote (that was previously set
up with initremote) when additional parameters such as autoenable= are
passed.
The enableremote special case for regular git repos is intended to handle
ones that don't have a UUID probed, and the user wants git-annex to
re-probe. So, that special case is still needed. But, in that special
case, the user is not passing any extra parameters. So, when there are
parameters, instead run the special remote setup code. That requires there
to be a uuid known already, and it allows changing things like autoenable=

These are quite low-level, but still there is no point in displaying
escape sequences that have been embedded in a key to the terminal.

I'm on the fence about this. Notice that pulling from a git remote can
pull branches that have escape sequences in their names. Git will
display those as-is. Arguably git should try harder to avoid that.
But, names of remotes are usually up to the local user, and autoenable
changes that, and so it makes sense that git chooses to display control
characters in names of remotes, and so autoenable needs to guard against
it.

Searched for uses of putStr and hPutStr and changed appropriate ones to filter
out control characters and quote filenames.
This notably does not make find and findkeys quote filenames in their default
output. Because they should only do that when stdout is non a pipe.
A few commands like calckey and lookupkey seem too low-level to make sense to filter
output, so skipped those.
Also when relaying output from other commands that is not progress output,
have git-annex filter out control characters.

As well as escape sequences, control characters seem unlikely to be desired when
doing addurl, and likely to trip someone up. So disallow them as well.
I did consider going the other way and allowing filenames with control characters
and escape sequences, since git-annex is in the process of escaping display
of all filenames. Might still be a better idea?
Also display the illegal filename git quoted when it rejects it.

This is by no means complete, but escaping filenames in actionItemDesc does
cover most commands.
Note that for ActionItemBranchFilePath, the value is branch:file, and I
choose to only quote the file part (if necessary). I considered quoting the
whole thing. But, branch names cannot contain control characters, and while
they can contain unicode, git coes not quote unicode when displaying branch
names. So, it would be surprising for git-annex to quote unicode in a
branch name.
The find command is the most obvious command that still needs to be
dealt with. There are probably other places that filenames also get
displayed, eg embedded in error messages.
Some other commands use ActionItemOther with a filename, I think that
ActionItemOther should either be pre-sanitized, or should explicitly not
be used for filenames, so that needs more work.
When --json is used, unicode does not get escaped, but control
characters were already escaped in json.
(Key escaping may turn out to be needed, but I'm ignoring that for now.)

registerurl: When an url is claimed by a special remote other than the web,
update location tracking for that special remote.
registerurl's behavior was changed in commit
451171b7c1, apparently accidentially to not
update location tracking except for the web.
This makes registerurl followed by unregisterurl not be a no-op, when the
url happens to be claimed by a remote other than the web. It is a noop when
the url is unclaimed except by the web. I don't like the inconsistency,
and wish that registerurl and unregisterurl never updated location
tracking, which would be more in keeping with them being plumbing.
But there is the fact that it used to behave this way, and also it was
inconsistent that it updated location tracking for the web but not for
other remotes, unlike addurl. And there's an argument that the user might
not know what remote to expect to claim an url, so would be considerably in
the dark when using registerurl. (Although they have to know what content
gets downloaded, since they specify a key..)
Sponsored-By: the NIH-funded NICEMAN (ReproNim TR&D3) project
This serves two purposes. --remote=web bypasses other special remotes that
claim the url, same as addurl --raw. And, specifying some other remote
allows making sure that an url is claimed by the remote you expect,
which makes then using setpresentkey not be fragile.

Remote.Directory makes a temp file, then calls this, and since the temp
file exists, it prevented probing if CoW works.
Note that deleting the empty file does mean there's a small window for a
race. If another process is also exporting to the remote, that could let it
make the same temp file. However, the temp filename actually has the
processes's pid in it, which avoids that being a problem.
This may have been a reversion caused by commits around
63d508e885, but I haven't gone back and
tested to be sure. The directory special remote had supposedly supported

That is a legal url, but parseUrl parses it to "/c:/path"
which is not a valid path on Windows. So as a workaround, use
parseURIPortable everywhere, which removes the leading slash when
run on windows.
Note that if an url is parsed like this and then serialized back
to a string, it will be different from the input. Which could
potentially be a problem, but is probably not in practice.
An alternative way to do it would be to have an uriPathPortable
that fixes up the path after parsing. But it would be harder to
make sure that is used everywhere, since uriPath is also used
when constructing an URI.
It's also worth noting that System.FilePath.normalize "/c:/path"
yields "c:/path". The reason I didn't use it is that it also
may change "/" to "\" in the path and I wanted to keep the url
changes minimal. Also noticed that convertToWindowsNativeNamespace
handles "/c:/path" the same as "c:/path".

Such an url is not valid; parseURI will fail on it. But git-annex doesn't

A repository can have a newline in its description due to being in a
directory containing a newline, or due to git-annex describe being
passed a string with a newline in it for some reason. Putting that
newline in uuid.log breaks its format.
So, escape the newline when it enters uuid.log, to \n
This is a one-way escaping, it is not converted back to a newline
when reading the log. If it were, commands like git-annex info and
whereis would display a multi-line description, which could be confusing
to read.
And, implementing roundtripping would necessarily cause problems if an
old version of git-annex were used to set a description that contained
whatever special character is used to escape the \n. Eg, a \ or if
it used the ! prefix before base64 data that is used in some other logs,
the ! character. Then the description set by the old git-annex would not
roundtrip.
There just doesn't seem to be any benefit of roundtripping newlines through,
so why bother? And, git often displays \n for newline when a filename
contains a newline, so git-annex doing it in this case seems sorta ok
by analogy to git.
(Some other git-annex logs can also have newlines put into them if the
user really wants to break git-annex. For example:
git-annex config annex.largefiles "foo
bar"
The full list is probably config.log, remote.log, group.log,
preferred-content.log, required-content.log,
group-preferred-content.log, schedule.log. Probably there is no
good reason to use a newline in any of these, and the breakage is
probably limited to the bad data the user put in not coming back out.
And users can write any garbage to log files themselves manually in any
case. So, I am not going to address all of those at this time. If a
problem such as this one with the newline in the repository path comes
up, it can be dealt with on a case by case basis.)

As far as I can see, git-annex status was added to support direct mode, and
like other things added for that, it ought to be deprecated.
Behavior is similar to git status --short, though not identical in a few
cases eg renamed files.
I think datalad does not use this command, although it might have in the
past. Could not find any use of it in the current datalad code.
A deprecation warning at runtime would be the next step, probably will wait
and do that for all the deprecated commands together (except findref).
Well, perhaps it could be documented better, but it's a compositional
feature so users who need it will probably try it and be happy to find
that it works.
When generating the view, check if the key is present.
When syncing in a view branch with an adjustment, run adjustedBranchRefreshFull
the same as is done when syncing in other adjusted branches. This is
needed because the docs for git-annex adjust --unlock-present suggest
using git-annex sync to update the branch when annex.adjustedbranchrefresh
is not set.
Note that, with annex.adjustedbranchrefresh set, it just works! The

git-annex.cabal: Move webapp build deps under the Assistant build flag so

Commit 78440ca37d got rid of the webapp build

path to a bare repo when git config is not allowed to list the configs

That resulted in a confusing error message, and prevented the nice

Made isBare a tristate so that the case where core.bare is not returned can

The handling in updateLocation is to check if the directory

Note that if that heuristic is somehow wrong, it would construct a repo
that thinks it's bare but is not. That could cause follow-on problems,

annex.viewunsetdirectory is included in the View for a couple of reasons.
One is to avoid needing to warn the user that it should not be changed when
in a view, since that would confuse git-annex. Another reason is that it
helped with plumbing the value through to some pure functions.
annex.viewunsetdirectory is actually mangled the same as any other view
directory. So if it's configured to something like "N/A", there won't be
multiple levels of directories, which would also confuse git-annex.

Allowing --from and --to as an alternative to --from or --to
is hard to do with optparse-applicative!
The obvious approach of (pfrom <|> pto <|> pfromandto) does not work
when pfromandto uses the same option names as pfrom and pto do.
It compiles but the generated parser does not work for all desired
combinations.
Instead, have to parse optionally from and optionally to. When neither
is provided, the parser succeeds, but it's a result that can't be
handled. So, have to giveup after option parsing. There does not seem to
be a way to make an optparse-applicative Parser give up internally
either.
Also, need seek' because I first tried making fto be a where binding,
but that resulted in a hang when git-annex move was run without --from
or --to. I think because startConcurrency was not expecting the stages
value to contain an exception and so ended up blocking.

I've long been asked for `git-annex find --all` or something like that,
but pushed back on it because I feel that the command is analagous to
find(1) and so it would be surprising for it to list keys rather than
files. So instead, add a new findkeys subcommand.
Note that the use of withKeyOptions is rather strange because usually
that is used to fall back to --all rather than listing files, but here
it's made to default to --all like behavior and never list files.
A performance thing that could be improved is that withKeyOptions
always reads and caches location logs. But findkeys with no options does
not need them, so it could be made faster. That caching does speed up
options like --in though. This is really just a subset of a more general
performance thing that --all reads location logs sometimes unncessarily.
Anyway, it needs to read the location log in order to checkDead,
and it seems good that findkeys does skip dead keys.
Also, cleaned up comments on git-annex-find man page asking for --all
option.

Fix a hang that occasionally occurred during commands such as move.
(A bug introduced in 10.20220927, in
commit 6a3bd283b8)
The restage.log was kept locked while running a complex index refresh
action. In an unusual situation, that action could need to write to the
restage log, which caused a deadlock.
The solution is a two-stage process. First the restage.log is moved to a
work file, which is done with the lock held. Then the content of the work
file is read and processed, which happens without the lock being held.
This is all done in a crash-safe manner.
Note that streamRestageLog may not be fully safe to run concurrently
with itself. That's ok, because restagePointerFiles uses it with the
index lock held, so only one can be run at a time.
streamRestageLog does delete the restage.old file at the end without
locking. If a calcRestageLog is run concurrently, it will either see the
file content before it was deleted, or will see it's missing. Either is
ok, because at most this will cause calcRestageLog to report more
work remains to be done than there is.

init: Avoid scanning for annexed files, which can be lengthy in a
large repository. Instead that scan is done on demand. This lets git-annex
init be run and some query commands be used in a repository without

Note that autoinit already behaved this way, so while this will mean some
commands like git-annex get/unlock/add will do the scan the first time run,
that is not really a significant behavior change.
And, it's really better to have a consistent behavior. The reason for
the inconsistency was a strange bug discussed in

This reverts commit 15dd7fe84b.
aws 0.23 is not used any longer, so read-only S3 import won't be
supported yet when building with stack.
That commit broke the build on windows, because the new version of Win32 that
was included (because the old one does not work with this lts version)
needs a version of filepath that is newer than the one bundled with the
ghc in that lts version. It is not possible to override that to a newer
filepath.
Seems that the only solution to get aws 0.23 will be to wait for a ghc that
contains filepath 1.4.100.0. No ghc yet contains it. (Backporting the Win32
fix to a point release version that does not include this bleeding edge
filepath would also resolve it, but seems unlikely to happen.)

Make --batch mode handle unstaged annexed files consistently whether the
file is unlocked or not. Before this, a unstaged locked file
would have the symlink on disk examined and operated on in --batch mode,
while an unstaged unlocked file would be skipped.
Note that, when not in batch mode, unstaged files are skipped over too.
That is actually somewhat new behavior; as late as 7.20191114 a
command like `git-annex whereis .` would operate on unstaged locked
files and skip over unstaged unlocked files. That changed during
optimisation of CmdLine.Seek with apparently little fanfare or notice.
Turns out that rmurl still behaved that way when given an unstaged file
on the command line. It was changed to use lookupKeyStaged to
handle its --batch mode. That also affected its non-batch mode, but
since that's just catching up to the change earlier made to most
other commands, I have not mentioed that in the changelog.
It may be that other uses of lookupKey should also change to
lookupKeyStaged. But it may also be that would slow down some things,
or lead to unwanted behavior changes, so I've kept the changes minimal
for now.
An example of a place where the use of lookupKey is better than
lookupKeyStaged is in Command.AddUrl, where it looks to see if the file
already exists, and adds the url to the file when so. It does not matter
there whether the file is staged or not (when it's locked). The use of
lookupKey in Command.Unused likewise seems good (and faster).

While ErrorBusy and other exceptions were caught and the write retried for
up to 10 seconds, it was still possible for git-annex to eventually
give up and error out without writing to the database. Now it will retry
as long as necessary.
This does mean that, if one git-annex process is suspended just as sqlite
has locked the database for writing, another git-annex that tries to write
it it might get stuck retrying forever. But, that could already happen when
opening the sqlite database, which retries forever on ErrorBusy. This is an
area where git-annex is known to not behave well, there's a todo about the
general case of it.

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

once per file, instead it will buffer 1000 changes before writing.

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.)

move: Fix openFile crash with -J
This does make them a bit slower, although usually the log file is not
very big, so even when it's being rewritten, they will not block for
long taking the lock. Still, little slowdowns may add up when moving a lot
file files.
A less expensive fix would be to use something lower level than openFile
that does not check if the file is already open for write by another
thread. But GHC does not seem to provide anything convenient; even mkFD
checks for a writing thread.
fullLines is no longer necessary since these functions no longer will

* trust, untrust, semitrust, dead: Fix behavior when provided with

* trust, untrust, semitrust, dead: When provided with no parameters,
do not operate on a repository that has an empty name.
The man page and usage already indicated that multiple repos could be
provided to these commands, but they actually used unwords to combine
everything into string, and found a repo matching that string. This was
especially bad when no parameters resulted in the empty string and some
repo happened to have an empty description.
This does change the behavior, and it's possible someone relied on the
current behavior to eg, trust a repo by name with the name not quoted into
a single parameter. But fixing the empty string bug and matching the
documentation are worth breaking that usage.
Note that git-annex init/reinit do still unwords multiple parameters when
provided to them. That is inconsistent behavior, but it certianly seems
possible that something does run git-annex init with an unquoted
description, and I don't think it's worth breaking that just to make it more

When concurrency is enabled, there can be worker threads still running
when the time limit is checked. Exiting right there does not
give those threads time to finish what they're doing. Instead, the seeking
is wrapped up, and git-annex then shuts down cleanly.
The whole point of --time-limit existing, rather than using timeout(1)
when running git-annex is to let git-annex finish the action(s) it is
working on when the time limit is reached, and shut down cleanly.
I noticed this problem when investigating why restagePointerFile might
not have run after get/drop of an unlocked file. With --time-limit -J,
a worker thread may have finished updating a work tree file, and be killed
by the time limit check before it can run restagePointerFile. So despite
--time-limit running the shutdown actions, the work tree file didn't get
restaged.

It's hard to know what's a good default for this. But 1 mb seems way too
small, because it's very easy for a git pull or some similar operation
that we don't think of as using much space to use up 1 mb of space.
Most people would want to free up some space if a filesystem only had 100
mb free. But on a small VPS, it's probably not uncommon to have only 1 gb
free. So 1 gb is too large for annex.diskreserve.
While old 1 gb USB keys are around, it's unlikely that anyone is

When getting a file from such a remote, accept the content that would have

After a change to ignoreinode, importing a tree from the remote will
re-import and generate new content identifiers using the new config. So
when ignoreinode has changed to no, the inodes will be learned, and after
that point, a change in an inode will be detected as a change. Before
re-importing, a change in an inode will be ignored, as it was before the
ignoreinode change. This seems acceptble, because the user can re-import
immediately if they urgently need to add inodes. And if not, they'll
do it sometime, presumably, and the change will take effect then.

Use curl for downloads from git remotes when annex.url-options and other
git configs are set.
If the url needs a password, curl will fail, and git credential will not be
used to prompt for it. But the user can set --netrc in url-options and
put the password in the netrc file.
This also means that url-options settings like -4 will take effect.
That was the case before commit 1883f7ef8f

When accessing a git remote over http needs a git credential prompt for a
password, cache it for the lifetime of the git-annex process, rather than
repeatedly prompting.
The git-lfs special remote already caches the credential when discovering
the endpoint. And presumably commands like git pull do as well, since they
may download multiple urls from a remote.
The TMVar CredentialCache is read, so two concurrent calls to
getBasicAuthFromCredential will both prompt for a credential.
There would already be two concurrent password prompts in such a case,
and existing uses of `prompt` probably avoid it. Anyway, it's no worse
than before.

I would like for a new repo version to enable appends, but to do so
safely would need a v11 followed by a 1 year delay followed by a v12
that does it. Since a similar v9 and v10 transition is currently
happening, and is less than 6 months along in most repos, it does not
feel wise to stack up another year-long transition behind that. What if
I need to hurry up a new repo version for some other change?
Added todo so I remember to make this change at some time when a v11
and probably v12 repo version do make sense.

This caused git to complain that filter-process failed and kill it with
signal 15. Because it wrote an extra flushPkt for an empty file, which
git did not expect, and so git saw an unexpected response to the next
request.
Luckily, filter-process is only used by default in v9 and up, and v8 is
still the default. Also, git had to be updating an empty file, followed
by another file, which is a fairly unlikely situation. And git restarts
filter-process after this happens and uses it to filter the rest of the
files. So this isn't a crippling bug.

When adding a small file, it does not get locked down, so can be modified
after git-annex checks that it's small. The use of queued git add made the
race window nice and wide too.

The remaining callers all did not rely on it checking gitignore, so were

Command.Rekey in passing got an unncessary call to removeFile deleted.
addSymlink handles deleting any existing worktree file.
Similar to git-annex add, git-annex fix queued git add, so if a file
got modified before git add ran, the wrong content would be staged,
perhaps a large file content.

This is not a complete fix for all such races, only the one where a
large file gets changed while adding and gets added to git rather than
to the annex.
addLink needs to go away, any caller of it is probably subject to the
same kind of race. (Also, addLink itself fails to check gitignore when
symlinks are not supported.)
ingestAdd no longer checks gitignore. (It didn't check it consistently
before either, since there were cases where it did not run git add!)
When git-annex import calls it, it's already checked gitignore itself
earlier. When git-annex add calls it, it's usually on files found
by withFilesNotInGit, which handles checking ignores.
There was one other case, when git-annex add --batch calls it. In that
case, old git-annex behaved rather badly, it would seem to add the file,
but git add would later fail, leaving the file as an unstaged annex symlink.
That behavior has also been fixed.

rather than matching path of an existing remote to find the uuid.
The main benefit of this is that locations not using ssh:// will work
now, including both paths and host:/path
The other benefit is that it's a simpler interface, no need to have an
existing remote with the same url and some other name. Although that
will still work of course.
This does rely on tryGitConfigRead working when given a Git.Repo that is
not a remote. Luckily, it works fine that way.
Also, tryGitConfigRead will auto-init a local repo that has a git-annex
branch. I did not enable auto-init of ssh repos though.
The uuid discovery actually happens twice; initremote discovers it,
and uses it to store the special remote config, but does not set it in the
git remote it creates. So the next run of git-annex does uuid discovery
again, and caches it that time. This could be improved for a tiny
speedup, but I didn't want to complicate things for that in this
commit.

Use cases include using git-annex init --no-autoenable and then going back

as just querying to remember which ones have it enabled.
It lists all special remotes that have autoenable=yes whether currently

I pondered making this "git-annex info autoenable", but that seemed wrong

similarly unclear.) Making it an option does mean that it can't be provided

Deal with git's recent changes to fix CVE-2022-24765, which prevent using
git in a repository owned by someone else.
That makes git config --list not list the repo's configs, only global
configs. So annex.uuid and annex.version are not visible to git-annex.
It displayed a message about that, which is not right for this situation.
Detect the situation and display a better message, similar to the one other
git commands display.
Also, git-annex init when run in that situation would overwrite annex.uuid
with a new one, since it couldn't see the old one. Add a check to prevent
it running too in this situation. It may be that this fix has security
implications, if a config set by the malicious user who owns the repo
causes git or git-annex to run code. I don't think any git-annex configs
get run by git-annex init. It may be that some git config of a command
does get run by one of the git commands that git-annex init runs. ("git
status" is the command that prompted the CVE-2022-24765, since
core.fsmonitor can cause it to run a command). Since I don't know how
to exploit this, I'm not treating it as a security fix for now.
Note that passing --git-dir makes git bypass the security check. git-annex
does pass --git-dir to most calls to git, which it does to avoid needing
chdir to the directory containing a git repository when accessing a remote.
So, it's possible that somewhere in git-annex it gets as far as running git
with --git-dir, and git reads some configs that are unsafe (what
CVE-2022-24765 is about). This seems unlikely, it would have to be part of
git-annex that runs in git repositories that have no (visible) annex.uuid,
and git-annex init is the only one that I can think of that then goes on to
run git, as discussed earlier. But I've not fully ruled out there being
others..
The git developers seem mostly worried about "git status" or a similar
command implicitly run by a shell prompt, not an explicit use of git in
such a repository. For example, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarma wrote:

The purpose of this is to fix situations where the annex object file is
stored in a directory structure other than where annex symlinks point to.

Added support for "megabit" and related bandwidth units in

horrible if two different versions of git-annex parsed the same value
differently, so I don't think "Mb" can be supported.

Avoid treating refs/annex/last-index or other refs that are not commit
objects as evidence of repository corruption.
The repair code checks to find bad refs by trying to run `git log` on

This was worth fixing generally, not as a special case, since it's certainly

Ignore annex.numcopies set to 0 in gitattributes or git config, or by
git-annex numcopies or by --numcopies, since that configuration would make
git-annex easily lose data. Same for mincopies.
This is a continuation of the work to make data only be able to be lost
when --force is used. It earlier led to the --trust option being disabled,
and similar reasoning applies here.
Most numcopies configs had docs that strongly discouraged setting it to 0
anyway. And I can't imagine a use case for setting to 0. Not that there
might not be one, but it's just so far from the intended use case of
git-annex, of managing and storing your data, that it does not seem like
it makes sense to cater to such a hypothetical use case, where any
git-annex drop can lose your data at any time.
Using a smart constructor makes sure every place avoids 0. Note that this
does mean that NumCopies is for the configured desired values, and not the
actual existing number of copies, which of course can be 0. The name
configuredNumCopies is used to make that clear.

Directory special remotes with importtree=yes have changed to once more
take inodes into account. This will cause extra work when importing from a
directory on a FAT filesystem that changes inodes on every mount.
To avoid that extra work, set ignoreinodes=yes when initializing a new
directory special remote, or change the configuration of your existing
remote: git-annex enableremote foo ignoreinodes=yes
This will mean a one-time re-import of all contents from every directory
special remote due to the changed setting.
73df633a62 thought
it was too unlikely that there would be modifications that the inode number
was needed to notice. That was probably right; it's very unlikely that a
file will get modified and end up with the same size and mtime as before.
But, what was not considered is that a program like NextCloud might write
two files with different content so closely together that they share the
mtime. The inode is necessary to detect that situation.

It will then proceed to add the file the same as if it were any other

This format is designed to detect accidental appends, while having some
room for future expansion.
Detect when an unlocked file whose content is not present has gotten some
other content appended to it, and avoid treating it as a pointer file, so
that appended content will not be checked into git, but will be annexed
like any other file.
Dropped the max size of a pointer file down to 32kb, it was around 80 kb,
but without any good reason and certianly there are no valid pointer files
anywhere that are larger than 8kb, because it's just been specified what it
means for a pointer file with additional data even looks like.
I assume 32kb will be good enough for anyone. ;-) Really though, it needs
to be some smallish number, because that much of a file in git gets read
into memory when eg, catting pointer files. And since we have no use cases
for the extra lines of a pointer file yet, except possibly to add
some human-visible explanation that it is a git-annex pointer file, 32k
seems as reasonable an arbitrary number as anything. Increasing it would be
possible, eg to 64k, as long as users of such jumbo pointer files didn't
mind upgrading all their git-annex installations to one that supports the
new larger size.

File matching options like --include will be rejected in situations where
there is no filename to match against. (Or where there is a filename but
it's not relative to the cwd, or otherwise seemed too bothersome to match
against.)
The addition of listKeys' was necessary to avoid using more memory in the
common case of "git-annex info". Adding a filterM would have caused the
list to buffer in memory and not stream. This is an ugly hack, but listKeys
had previously run Annex operations inside unafeInterleaveIO (for direct
mode). And matching against a matcher should hopefully not change any Annex
state.
This does allow for eg `git-annex info somefile --include=*.ext`
although why someone would want to do that I don't really know. But it
seems to make sense to allow it.
But, consider: `git-annex info ./somefile --include=somefile`
This does not match, so will not display info about somefile.
If the user really wants to, they can `--include=./somefile`.
Using matching options like --copies or --in=remote seems likely to be
slower than git-annex find with those options, because unlike such
commands, info does not have optimised streaming through the matcher.
Note that `git-annex info remote` is not the same as
`git-annex info --in remote`. The former shows info about all files in
the remote. The latter shows local keys that are also in that remote.
The output should make that clear, but this still seems like a point
where users could get confused.

along with another action on files, and runs only once the other action has

This lets git-annex unlock queue up git update-index actions, without
conflicting with the restagePointerFiles FlushActions.
In a repository with filter-process enabled, git-annex unlock will
often not take any more time than before, though it may when the files are

One possible wart is that "git-annex registerurl" with no options now

The "+" argument only runs the command once, so is not safe to use. Using

Since my phone has an xargs that supports -0, I piped find to xargs

The business with pipefail is necessary to make a failure of find cause the

probably just result in a failure of find being ignored. It would be
possible to make ignorefinderror just disable setting pipefail, but then

This has tradeoffs, but is generally a win, and users who it causes git add to
slow down unacceptably for can just disable it again.
It needed to happen in an upgrade, since there are git-annex versions
that do not support it, and using such an old version with a v8
repository with filter.annex.process set will cause bad behavior.
By enabling it in v9, it's guaranteed that any git-annex version that
can use the repository does support it. Although, this is not a perfect
protection against problems, since an old git-annex version, if it's
used with a v9 repository, will cause git add to try to run
git-annex filter-process, which will fail. But at least, the user is
unlikely to have an old git-annex in path if they are using a v9
repository, since it won't work in that repository.

Recover from corrupted content being received from a git remote due eg to a
wire error, by deleting the temporary file when it fails to verify. This
prevents a retry from failing again.
Reversion introduced in version 8.20210903, when incremental verification
was added.
Only the git remote seems to be affected, although it is certianly
possible that other remotes could later have the same issue. This only
affects things passed to getViaTmp that return (False, UnVerified) due to
verification failing. As far as getViaTmp can tell, that could just as well
mean that the transfer failed in a way that would resume, so it cannot
delete the temp file itself. Remote.Git and P2P.Annex use getViaTmp internally,
while other remotes do not, which is why only it seems affected.
A better fix perhaps would be to improve the types of the callback
passed to getViaTmp, so that some other value could be used to indicate
the state where the transfer succeeded but verification failed.
