Avoids the external program being started just to use LISTCONFIGS on an
already accepted config.
So initremote/enableremote will still run the external program an extra
time to use LISTCONFIGS, but everything that uses the special remote after
it's initialized will not any longer.
Special remote programs that use GETCONFIG/SETCONFIG are recommended
to implement it.
The description is not yet used, but will be useful later when adding a way
to make initremote list all accepted configs.
configParser now takes a RemoteConfig parameter. Normally, that's not
needed, because configParser returns a parter, it does not parse it
itself. But, it's needed to look at externaltype and work out what
external remote program to run for LISTCONFIGS.
Note that, while externalUUID is changed to a Maybe UUID, checkExportSupported
used to use NoUUID. The code that now checks for Nothing used to behave
in some undefined way if the external program made requests that
triggered it.
Also, note that in externalSetup, once it generates external,
it parses the RemoteConfig strictly. That generates a
ParsedRemoteConfig, which is thrown away. The reason it's ok to throw
that away, is that, if the strict parse succeeded, the result must be
the same as the earlier, lenient parse.
initremote of an external special remote now runs the program three
times. First for LISTCONFIGS, then EXPORTSUPPORTED, and again
LISTCONFIGS+INITREMOTE. It would not be hard to eliminate at least
one of those, and it should be possible to only run the program once.
Not yet added anything to the protocol to get a list of remote config
fields; any fields will be accepted and are available for the external
remote to use as before.
There is one minor behavior change.. Before, GETCONFIG could be passed a
field such as type, externaltype, encryption, etc, and would get the
value of that. Now, GETCONFIG only works on fields that don't have a
defined meaning to git-annex, so are passed through to the external
remote. This seems unlikely to affect any external special remotes in
practice.
This is a first step toward that goal, using the ProposedAccepted type
in RemoteConfig lets initremote/enableremote reject bad parameters that
were passed in a remote's configuration, while avoiding enableremote
rejecting bad parameters that have already been stored in remote.log
This does not eliminate every place where a remote config is parsed and a
default value is used if the parse false. But, I did fix several
things that expected foo=yes/no and so confusingly accepted foo=true but
treated it like foo=no. There are still some fields that are parsed with
yesNo but not not checked when initializing a remote, and there are other
fields that are parsed in other ways and not checked when initializing a
remote.
This also lays groundwork for rejecting unknown/typoed config keys.
* annex.addunlocked can be set to an expression with the same format used by
annex.largefiles, in case you want to default to unlocking some files but
not others.
* annex.addunlocked can be configured by git-annex config.
Added a git-annex-matching-expression man page, broken out from
tips/largefiles.
A tricky consequence of this is that git-annex add --relaxed
honors annex.addunlocked, but an expression might want to know the size
or content of an url, which it's not going to download. I decided it was
better not to fail, and just dummy up some plausible data in that case.
Performance impact should be negligible. The global config is already
loaded for annex.largefiles. The expression only has to be parsed once,
and in the simple true/false case, it should not do any additional work
matching it.
git-annex find is now RawFilePath end to end, no string conversions.
So is git-annex get when it does not need to get anything.
So this is a major milestone on optimisation.
Benchmarks indicate around 30% speedup in both commands.
Probably many other performance improvements. All or nearly all places
where a file is statted use RawFilePath now.
Adds a dependency on filepath-bytestring, an as yet unreleased fork of
filepath that operates on RawFilePath.
Git.Repo also changed to use RawFilePath for the path to the repo.
This does eliminate some RawFilePath -> FilePath -> RawFilePath
conversions. And filepath-bytestring's </> is probably faster.
But I don't expect a major performance improvement from this.
This is mostly groundwork for making Annex.Location use RawFilePath,
which will allow for a conversion-free pipleline.
This will speed up the common case where a Key is deserialized from
disk, but is then serialized to build eg, the path to the annex object.
Previously attempted in 4536c93bb2
and reverted in 96aba8eff7.
The problems mentioned in the latter commit are addressed now:
Read/Show of KeyData is backwards-compatible with Read/Show of Key from before
this change, so Types.Distribution will keep working.
The Eq instance is fixed.
Also, Key has smart constructors, avoiding needing to remember to update
the cached serialization.
Used git-annex benchmark:
find is 7% faster
whereis is 3% faster
get when all files are already present is 5% faster
Generally, the benchmarks are running 0.1 seconds faster per 2000 files,
on a ram disk in my laptop.
Convert Utility.Url to return Either String so the error message can be
displated in the annex monad and so captured.
(When curl is used, its errors are still not caught.)
This solves the problem of sameas remotes trampling over per-remote
state. Used for:
* per-remote state, of course
* per-remote metadata, also of course
* per-remote content identifiers, because two remote implementations
could in theory generate the same content identifier for two different
peices of content
While chunk logs are per-remote data, they don't use this, because the
number and size of chunks stored is a common property across sameas
remotes.
External special remote had a complication, where it was theoretically
possible for a remote to send SETSTATE or GETSTATE during INITREMOTE or
EXPORTSUPPORTED. Since the uuid of the remote is typically generate in
Remote.setup, it would only be possible to pass a Maybe
RemoteStateHandle into it, and it would otherwise have to construct its
own. Rather than go that route, I decided to send an ERROR in this case.
It seems unlikely that any existing external special remote will be
affected. They would have to make up a git-annex key, and set state for
some reason during INITREMOTE. I can imagine such a hack, but it doesn't
seem worth complicating the code in such an ugly way to support it.
Unfortunately, both TestRemote and Annex.Import needed the Remote
to have a new field added that holds its RemoteStateHandle.
Avoid a warning message when renameExport is not supported, and just
fallback to deleting with a subsequent re-upload. Especially needed for
importtree remotes, where renameExport needs to be disabled.
This changes the external special remote protocol, but in a
backwards-compatible way. A reply of UNSUPPORTED-REQUEST to an older
version of git-annex will cause it to make renameExport return False.
Purifying exportActions will allow introspecting and modifying it,
which is needed to add progress bar display to it.
Only S3 and WebDAV ran an Annex action while constructing ExportActions.
There was a small performance gain from them doing that, since a
resource was able to be prepared and reused for multiple actions by
Command.Export.
As seen in commit 809cfbbd8a and
5d394023eb S3 and WebDAV actually create a
new handle for each access in normal, non-export use. It doesn't seem
worth making export use of them marginally more efficient than normal
use. It would be better to do that work upfront when constructing the
remote. Or perhaps use a MVar to cache a handle.

Removed undocumented special case in handling of a CHECKURL-MULTI response
with only a single file listed. Rather than ignoring the url that was in
the response, use it. This allows external special remotes that want to
provide some better url to do so, although I don't entirely agree with
using CHECKURL-MULTI to accomplish that. I'm more of the feeling that an
undocumented special case that throws data away is just not a good idea.
This could in theory break some external special remote program that relied
on the current behavior, but its seems unlikely that it would because such
a program must already handle the multiple url case, unless it only ever
provides a single url response to CHECKURL-MULTI.
Make addurl --file work with a single item CHECKURL-MULTI response.
It already did for external special remotes due to the special case,
but now it also will for builtin ones like the BitTorrent special remote.

* rmurl: Fix a case where removing the last url left git-annex thinking
content was still present in the web special remote.
* SETURLPRESENT, SETURIPRESENT, SETURLMISSING, and SETURIMISSING
used to update the presence information of the external special remote
that called them; this was not documented behavior and is no longer done.
Done by making setUrlPresent and setUrlMissing only update presence info
for the web, and only when the url is a web url. See the comment for
reasoning about why that's the right thing to do.
In AddUrl, had to make it update location tracking, to handle the
non-web-url case.

This will be used to protect against CVE-2018-10859, where an encrypted
special remote is fed the wrong encrypted data, and so tricked into
decrypting something that the user encrypted with their gpg key and did
not store in git-annex.
It also protects against CVE-2018-10857, where a remote follows a http
redirect to a file:// url or to a local private web server. While that's
already been prevented in git-annex's own use of http, external special
remotes, hooks, etc use other http implementations and could still be
vulnerable.
The policy is not yet enforced, this commit only adds the appropriate
metadata to remotes.

This is groundwork for letting a repo be instantiated the first time
it's actually used, instead of at startup.
The only behavior change is that some old special cases for xmpp remotes
were removed. Where before git-annex silently did nothing with those
no-longer supported remotes, it may now fail in some way.
The additional IO action should have no performance impact as long as
it's simply return.

git annex testremote passes.

The adb push/pull progress is displayed for now; it would be better

Allows using new special remote messages when git-annex supports them,
and avoiding using them when git-annex is too old. The new INFO is one
such message.
There's also the possibility, currently unused, for the special remote's
reply to include some kind of extensions of its own.
Merging this is blocked by https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/2124

It's left up to the special remote to detect when git-annex is new enough

When the external special remote program crashed, a newline
could be output, which messed up the expected output for --batch mode.
Avoid checking EXPORTSUPPORTED for special remotes that are
not configured to use exports. The datalad special remote apparently is/was
buggy and crashed on EXPORTSUPPORTED. Anyway, there's no need to send
it when the configuration doesn't need it.

Not yet called by Command.Export.
WebDAV needs this to clean up empty collections. Also, example.sh turned
out to not be cleaning up directories when removing content
from them, so it made sense for it to use this.
Remote.Directory did not need it, and since its cleanup method for empty
directories is more efficient than what Command.Export will need to do
to find empty directories, it uses Nothing so that extra work can be
avoided.

Don't allow "exporttree=yes" to be set when the special remote
does not support exports. That would be confusing since the user would
set up a special remote for exports, but `git annex export` to it would
later fail.

This will allow disabling exports for remotes that are not configured to

Implemented so far for the directory special remote.
Several remotes don't make sense to export to. Regular Git remotes,
obviously, do not. Bup remotes almost certianly do not, since bup would
need to be used to extract the export; same store for Ddar. Web and
Bittorrent are download-only. GCrypt is always encrypted so exporting to
it would be pointless. There's probably no point complicating the Hook
remotes with exporting at this point. External, S3, Glacier, WebDAV,
Rsync, and possibly Tahoe should be modified to support export.
Thought about trying to reuse the storeKey/retrieveKeyFile/removeKey
interface, rather than adding a new interface. But, it seemed better to
keep it separate, to avoid a complicated interface that sometimes
encrypts/chunks key/value storage and sometimes users non-key/value
storage. Any common parts can be factored out.
Note that storeExport is not atomic.
doc/design/exporting_trees_to_special_remotes.mdwn has some things in
the "resuming exports" section that bear on this decision. Basically,
I don't think, at this time, that an atomic storeExport would help with
resuming, because exports are not key/value storage, and we can't be
sure that a partially uploaded file is the same content we're currently
trying to export.
Also, note that ExportLocation will always use unix path separators.
This is important, because users may export from a mix of windows and
unix, and it avoids complicating the API with path conversions,
and ensures that in such a mix, they always use the same locations for
exports.

External special remotes will refuse to operate on keys with spaces in
their names. That has never worked correctly due to the design of the
external special remote protocol. Display an error message suggesting
migration.
Not super happy with this, but it's a pragmatic solution. Better than
complicating the external special remote interface and all external special
remotes.
Note that I only made it use SafeKey in Request, not Response. git-annex
does not construct a Response, so that would not add any safety. And
presumably, if git-annex avoids feeding any such keys to an external
special remote, it will never have a reason to make a Response using such a
key. If it did, it would result in a protocol error anyway.
There's still a Serializeable instance for Key; it's used by P2P.Protocol.
There, the Key is always in the final position, so it's ok if it contains
spaces.
Note that the protocol documentation has been fixed to say that the File
may contain spaces. One way that can happen, even though the Key can't,
is when using direct mode, and the work tree filename contains spaces.
When sending such a file to the external special remote the worktree
filename is used.

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.

Most remotes have an idempotent setup that can be reused for
enableremote, but in a few cases, it needs to tell which, and whether
a UUID was provided to setup was used.
This is groundwork for making initremote be able to provide a UUID.
It should not change any behavior.
Note that it would be nice to make the UUID always be provided to setup,
and make setup not need to generate and return a UUID. What prevented
this simplification is Remote.Git.gitSetup, which needs to reuse the
UUID of the git remote when setting it up, and so has to return that
UUID.

ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

Multiple external special remote processes for the same remote will be
started as needed when using -J.
This should not beak any existing external special remotes, because running
multiple git-annex commands at the same time could already start multiple
processes for the same external special remotes.
