It got broken in several ways by the streaming seeking optimisations
around version 8.20201007.
Moved time limit checking out of the matcher, which was a hack in the
first place. So everywhere that uses Limit.getMatcher needs to check
time limit. Well, almost everywhere. Command.Info uses it, but it does
not make sense to time limit getting info. And Command.MultiCast uses it
just to build up a list of files that then get passed to a command, so
it would never have hit the timeout in a useful way.
This implementation is a little more expensive when at time limit than
necessary, since it continues seeking only to discard everything after the
time limit. I did try making it close the file handles to force a faster
shutdown, but that didn't work and hung. Could certianly be improved
somehow, but seeking is probably not the expensive bit when a time limit
is hit, so this seems acceptable for now.
For reasons explained in the bug report.
Implemented using a persistent migration, which works fine. It may add a
little startup overhead when a remote is enabled that uses this, but
probably un-noticable.
On the next major version, it would be fine to delete this database,
and regenerate it from the git-annex branch information. Then this
change could be reverted.
Did nothing about adding back the data that got dropped from the db
due to the bug. Only the borg special remote was probably affected,
and it's not been released yet. rm -rf .git/annex/cidsdb does work.
And vice-versa, but it's better to use '/' for portability.
Notably, standardPreferredContent contains "archive/*" and that might not
match if the filename ends up coming in with the slashes the other way
around.
I do think this was a reversion, but I have not tracked back to what
version. While involving the remote config, it's not the same class of
problems that I kept having to chase down for a while after the remote
config parser reworking.
MatchingKey is not the thing to use when matching on actual worktreee
files.
Fix reversion in 8.20201116 that made include= and exclude= in
preferred/required content expressions match a path relative to the current
directory, rather than the path from the top of the repository.
Avoid spurious "verification of content failed" message when downloading
content from a ssh or tor remote fails due to the remote no longer having a
copy of the content.
The P2P protocol already handled this case by sending DATA 0, followed by
VALID. But VALID was not really right, because the data is not the
requested data. So, send DATA 0, followed by INVALID. Old versions of
git-annex handle INVALID the same as VALID in this case. Now new versions
avoid displaying an incorrect message.
It would be better for the P2P protocol to have a different way to indicate
this, like perhaps sending INVALID without DATA. But that would be a
breaking change and need a new protocol verison. Since INVALID already is
part of the protocol and already needs to be handled, using it for this
special case too seems ok, and avoids the complication of another protocol
version.

This is an edge case, which happened to be triggered by the P2P protocol
seeing DATA 0. When reading 0 bytes, getting an empty string does
not mean the handle has reached EOF.
I verified there was in fact a bug, where get of an empty file followed
by another file would get the empty file and then fail
with "handle is closed". This fixes it.
