Unlike git add -u, git annex add -u does not update the index for files
removed from the working tree. But then, "git add ." stages removals,
and "git annex add ." does not, so that's an existing divergence.
Seems that --update --batch would need to run git ls-files once per line of
batch input, which would surely be too slow, so just throw an error for
that.

This was never supported before. And it doesn't re-encrypt the
gcrypt repo to the new gcrypt-participants, but it does at least now not
crash, and set gcrypt-participants.

I don't like this regular git remote special case in enableremote, but I

a Remote.Git

This is necessary because as feared, the extra -n parameter that git-annex
passes breaks uses of these environment variables that expect exactly the
parameters that git passes.
For example, see https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/1456
It would of course be possible to pre-close stdin before running ssh so not
needing the -n, and I think that would not even break ssh's password
caching. But it would probably involve a lot of work, possibly would need
to deal with some layering violations, and would be error-prone. The really
clean fix would be to make all the ssh stuff return a CreateProcess, which
could have the handle closed when appropriate, but that would be a large
reworing of the code base.

The former can be useful to make remotes that don't get fully synced with
local changes, which comes up in a lot of situations.
The latter was mostly added for symmetry, but could be useful (though less
likely to be).
Implementing `remote.<name>.annex-pull` was a bit tricky, as there's no one
place where git-annex pulls/fetches from remotes. I audited all
instances of "fetch" and "pull". A few cases were left not checking this
config:
* Git.Repair can try to pull missing refs from a remote, and if the local
repo is corrupted, that seems a reasonable thing to do even though
the config would normally prevent it.
* Assistant.WebApp.Gpg and Remote.Gcrypt and Remote.Git do fetches
as part of the setup process of a remote. The config would probably not
be set then, and having the setup fail seems worse than honoring it if it
is already set.
I have not prevented all the code that does a "merge" from merging branches
from remotes with remote.<name>.annex-pull=false. That could perhaps
be done, but it would need a way to map from branch name to remote name,
and the way refspecs work makes that hard to get really correct. So if the
user fetches manually, the git-annex branch will get merged, for example.
Anther way of looking at/justifying this is that the setting is called
"annex-pull", not "annex-merge".

They are handled close the same as they are by git. However, unlike git,
git-annex sometimes needs to pass the -n parameter when using these.
So, this has the potential for breaking some setup, and perhaps there ought
to be a ANNEX_USE_GIT_SSH=1 needed to use these. But I'd rather avoid that
if possible, so let's see if anyone complains.
Almost all places where "ssh" was run have been changed to support the env
vars. Anything still calling sshOptions does not support them. In
particular, rsync special remotes don't. Seems that annex-rsync-transport
already gives sufficient control there.
(Fixed in passing: Remote.Helper.Ssh.toRepo used to extract
remoteAnnexSshOptions and pass them to sshOptions, which was redundant
since sshOptions also extracts those.)

Fix bug when used with a recently cloned repository, where
"merging" messages were included in the output of configlist (and perhaps
other commands) and caused a "Failed to get annex.uuid configuration"
error.
This does not seem to have been a reversion.
I saw this with configlist, but it seems possible for other commands to be
effected, and it might not always happen only after a fresh clone. Eg, if a
foo/git-annex branch is pushed to the remote, the next git-annex-shell will
auto-merge it and display the message.
Decided to run all git-annex-shell commands with noMessages,
even ones that don't currently use stdout for structured communication.
Better to keep open the possibility for using stdout in the future.

The bug was that withFile closes the handle afterwards, but the content
of the file was not read due to laziness. Using readFile avoids it.

findShellCommand needs a full path to a file in order to check it for a
shebang on Windows. It was being run with only the base name of the external
special remote program, which would only work when it was in the current
directory.
This is why users in
https://github.com/DanielDent/git-annex-remote-rclone/pull/10 and elsewhere
were complaining that the previous improvements to git-annex didn't make
git-remote-rclone work on Windows.
Also, reworked checkearlytermination, which while it worked, seemed
to rely on a race condition. And, improved its error messages.

It was distributing jobs to remotes that were not being used by any other
job. But, suppose that there are only 2 remotes, and -J10. In such a case,
the first 2 downloads would be distributed amoung the 2 remotes, but
the other 8 would all go to remote #1. Improved by keeping a counter
of how many jobs are assigned to a remote, and prefer remotes with fewer
jobs.
Note use of Data.Map.Strict to avoid blowing up space. I kept the
bang-patterns as-is, although probably not needed with Data.Map.Strict.

The slowdown is not going to be large in typical small-ish repos.
And it does not seem to matter if the assistant reacts a little bit slower
in situations involving the expensive scan, since:
a) Those situations typically involve getting back in sync after something
has changed on a remote, often after a disconnect of some duration.
So taking a few seconds more is not noticable.
b) If the scan finds things that it needs to do, it will start
blocking anyway after 10 transfers are queued (due to use of
queueTransferWhenSmall). So, only the speed of finding the first 10
transfers will be impacted by this change.

It was relying on segmentPaths to work correctly, so when it didn't,
sometimes the file that did not exist got matched up with a non-null
list of results. Fixed by always checking if each parameter exists.
There are two reason segmentPaths might not work correctly.
For one, it assumes that when the original list of paths
has more than 100 paths, it's not worth paying the CPU cost to
preserve input orders.
And then, it fails when a directory such as "." or ".." or
/path/to/repo is in the input list, and the list of found paths
does not start with that same thing. It should probably not be using
dirContains, but something else.
But, it's not clear how to handle this fully. Consider
when [".", "subdir"] has been expanded by git ls-files to
["subdir/1", "subdir/2"]
-- Both of the inputs contained those results, so there's
no one right answer for segmentPaths. All these would be equally valid:
[["subdir/1", "subdir/2"], []]
[[], ["subdir/1", "subdir/2"]]
[["subdir/1"], [""subdir/2"]]
So I've not tried to improve segmentPaths.
* init: When annex.securehashesonly has been set with git-annex config,
copy that value to the annex.securehashesonly git config.
* config --set: As well as setting value in git-annex branch,
set local gitconfig. This is needed especially for
annex.securehashesonly, which is read only from local gitconfig and not
the git-annex branch.
doc/todo/sha1_collision_embedding_in_git-annex_keys.mdwn has the
rationalle for doing it this way. There's no perfect solution; this
seems to be the least-bad one.

Added --securehash option to match files using a secure hash function, and
corresponding securehash preferred content expression.
This commit was sponsored by Ethan Aubin.
Cryptographically secure hashes can be forced to be used in a repository,
by setting annex.securehashesonly. This does not prevent the git repository
from containing files with insecure hashes, but it does prevent the content
of such files from being pulled into .git/annex/objects from another
repository.
We want to make sure that at no point does git-annex accept content into
.git/annex/objects that is hashed with an insecure key. Here's how it
was done:
* .git/annex/objects/xx/yy/KEY/ is kept frozen, so nothing can be
written to it normally
* So every place that writes content must call, thawContent or modifyContent.
We can audit for these, and be sure we've considered all cases.
* The main functions are moveAnnex, and linkToAnnex; these were made to
check annex.securehashesonly, and are the main security boundary
for annex.securehashesonly.
* Most other calls to modifyContent deal with other files in the KEY
directory (inode cache etc). The other ones that mess with the content
are:
- Annex.Direct.toDirectGen, in which content already in the
annex directory is moved to the direct mode file, so not relevant.
- fix and lock, which don't add new content
- Command.ReKey.linkKey, which manually unlocks it to make a
copy.
* All other calls to thawContent appear safe.
Made moveAnnex return a Bool, so checked all callsites and made them
deal with a failure in appropriate ways.
linkToAnnex simply returns LinkAnnexFailed; all callsites already deal
with it failing in appropriate ways.

Yesterday's SHA1 collision attack could be used to generate eg:
SHA256-sfoo--whatever.good
SHA256-sfoo--whatever.bad
Such that they collide. A repository with the good one could have the
bad one swapped in and signed commits would still verify.
I've already mitigated this.
I am not happy that I had to put backend-specific code in file2key. But
it would be very difficult to avoid this layering violation.
Most of the time, when parsing a Key from a symlink target, git-annex
never looks up its Backend at all, so adding this check to a method of
the Backend object would not work.
The Key could be made to contain the appropriate
Backend, but since Backend is parameterized on an "a" that is fixed to
the Annex monad later, that would need Key to change to "Key a".
The only way to clean this up that I can see would be to have the Key
contain a LowlevelBackend, and put the validation in LowlevelBackend.
Perhaps later, but that would be an extensive change, so let's not do
it in this commit which may want to cherry-pick to backports.

* Run curl with -S, so HTTP errors are displayed, even when
it's otherwise silent.
* When downloading in --json or --quiet mode, use curl in preference
to wget, since curl is able to display only errors to stderr, unlike
wget.
This does mean that downloadQuiet is only silent on stdout, not necessarily
on stderr, which affects a couple other calls of it. For example,
downloading the .git/config of a http remote may show an error message now,
perhaps with slightly suboptimal formatting due to other output.
This adds one extra line of output when a download is successful,
after the progress bar. I don't much like that, but wget does not provide a
way to show HTTP errors without it.
sync: When syncing with a local repository located on a crippled
filesystem, run the post-receive hook there, since it wouldn't get run
otherwise. This makes pushing to repos on FAT-formatted removable drives
update them when receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead.
