The initTests have to be run once per part, and a point of diminishing
returns can be reached where more work is being done to set up for 1 or
2 tests than to run them.
This is better than a hard cap of -J8 or so, because it lets other
things than these particular tests still be parallelized at -J16.

Clean the standalone environment before running the su command
to run "sh". Otherwise, PATH leaked through, causing it to run
git-annex.linux/bin/sh, but GIT_ANNEX_DIR was not set,
which caused that script to not work:
[2022-10-26 15:07:02.145466106] (Utility.Process) process [938146] call: pkexec ["sh","-c","cd '/home/joey/tmp/git-annex.linux/r' && '/home/joey/tmp/git-annex.linux/git-annex' 'enable-tor' '1000'"]
/home/joey/tmp/git-annex.linux/bin/sh: 4: exec: /exe/sh: not found
Changed programPath to not use GIT_ANNEX_PROGRAMPATH,
but instead run the scripts at the top of GIT_ANNEX_DIR.
That works both when the standalone environment is set up, and when it's
not.

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 importing from versioned remotes, fix tracking of the content of
deleted files.
Only S3 supports versioning so far, so only it was affected.
But, the draft import/export interface for external remotes also seemed to
need a change, so that versionedExport could be set.
S3: Speed up importing from a large bucket when fileprefix= is set by only
asking for files under the prefix.
getBucket still returns the files with the prefix included, so the rest of
the fileprefix stripping still works unchanged.

This can be used, for example, with importtree=yes to import from a public
bucket.
This needs a patch that has not yet landed in the aws library, and will
need to be adjusted to support compiling with old versions of the library,
so is not yet suitable for merging.
See https://github.com/aristidb/aws/pull/281
The stack.yaml changes are provided to show how to build against the aws

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
read the file while it's being written.

* trust, untrust, semitrust, dead: Fix behavior when provided with
multiple repositories to operate on.
* 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
consistent with these other commands.

Avoids displaying warning about git-annex restage needing to be run in
situations where it does not.
Closing a handle flushes it anyway, so no need for an explict flush. The
handle does get closed twice, but that's fine, the second one does nothing.

Well, actually, fix a typo that has always been in the implementation of
that. "inbacked" used to work, but let's not tell users about that; they

I noticed that, using just the man pages, there is no real description
of what backends are, or what ones are available. Except for some
examples.
Added a git-annex-backends man page, that is just a stub, but at least
describes what they basically are, and tells how to find the supported
ons, and links to the backends web page.

p2p: Pass wormhole the --appid option before the receive/send command, as
it does not accept that option after the command
I'm left wondering, did I get this wrong from the beginning, or did
wormhole change its option parser? I'm reminded of the change in 0.8.2
where it silently changed what FD the pairing code was output to.
But, looking at the wormhole source, it was at least putting --appid before
send in its test suite from the introduction of the option.
So I think probably this has always been broken. On 2021-12-31 the --appid
option was enabled, and it took until now for someone to try
git-annex p2p --pair and notice that flag day broke it..

As was attempted earlier in the buggy commit 0d2e3058ee
Avoided the bug that had by making the upgrade log be updated after each
upgrade step. So, after upgrade from v8 to v9, the log is updated, and
so Upgrade.V9's timeOfUpgrade check will find that it was upgraded
recently and so won't let it skip ahead to v10.

Fixes updating git index file after getting an unlocked file when
annex.stalldetection is set.
The transferrer may want to send additional protocol messages when it's
shut down. Closing the read handle prevented it from doing that, and caused
it to crash rather than cleanly shutting down.
Draining the handle without processing the protocol seemed ok to do,
because anything it outputs is going to be some side message displayed
at shutdown. Displaying those once per transferrer process that is running
seems unncessary.

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
relying on them to shuttle annex data around; it would be worth anyone's
time to upgrade to a 32 gb or larger cheap modern USB key ($5).

Fix a reversion that prevented git-annex from working in a repository when
--git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified to relocate the git directory to
somewhere else. (Introduced in version 10.20220525)
checkRepoConfigInaccessible could still run git config --list, just passing
--git-dir. It seems not necessary, because I know that passing --git-dir
bypasses git's check for repo ownership. I suppose it might be that git
eventually changes to check something about the ownership of the working
tree, so passing --git-dir without --work-tree would still be worth doing.
But for now this is the simple fix.

Improve handling of directory special remotes with importtree=yes whose
ignoreinode setting has been changed. (By either enableremote or by
upgrading to commit 3e2f1f73cbc5fc10475745b3c3133267bd1850a7.)
When getting a file from such a remote, accept the content that would have
been accepted with the previous ignoreinode setting.
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.

I looked at all man pages with --all, and this was the only one that
needs to add this disclaimer. Others like get and drop obviously
won't operate on dead keys anyway, because a dead key does not have any
content located anywhere.
Fix a reversion that made dead keys not be skipped when operating on all
keys via --all or in a bare repo. (Introduced in version 8.20200720)
Also, improved the documentation of git-annex-dead, it does not only apply
to fsck --all.
Also, made git-annex fsck, when run on a file whose key is dead, display
that. Before, it displayed that only when run with --all, but with this
fix, it skips dead keys with --all. But it can still be run on a file that
uses a dead key, and displaying "This key is dead" explains to the user
why it does not consider missing content for it to be a problem.

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
forced conduit to be used.
autoEnableSpecialRemotes runs a subprocess, and if the uuid for a git
remote has not been probed yet, that will do a http get that will prompt
for a password. And then the parent process will subsequently prompt
for a password when getting annexed files from the remote.
So the solution is for autoEnableSpecialRemotes to run remoteList before
the subprocess, which will probe for the uuid for the git remote in the
same process that will later be used to get annexed files.
But, Remote.Git imports Annex.Init, and Remote.List imports Remote.Git,
so Annex.Init cannot import Remote.List. Had to pass remoteList into
functions in Annex.Init to get around this dependency loop.
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.
Fix crash importing from a directory special remote that contains a broken
symlink.
The crash was in listImportableContentsM but some other places in
Remote.Directory also seemed like they could have the same problem.
Also audited for other places that have such a problem. Not all calls
to getFileStatus are bad, in some cases it's better to crash on something
unexpected. For example, `git-annex import path` when the path is a broken
symlink should crash, the same as when it does not exist. Many of the
getFileStatus calls are like that, particularly when they involve
.git/annex/objects which should never have a broken symlink in it.
Fixed a few other possible cases of the problem.

Trick the linker into not doing unncessary work searching for optimised
libraries that are not present, by symlinking the directories where
optimised libs would be to the main lib dir.
This reduces the ENOENT of git-annex init by about 1/2. The linker always
finds the files where it looks first time now. I have not looked at what
the wall clock speedup might be, it's probably rather small.
If a x86-64-v5 comes to be, the list will need to be extended. And there
may be other directories used on some machines that I have missed. Not done
for arm64 yet, or any uncommon architectures.

For some reason, cabal 3.4.1.0 builds w/o the assistant and webapp,
even when the flag is explicitly turned on. Moving the build-depends from
inside the if flag section to the main build-depends somehow fixes this.
Since the webapp build deps are thus always available, there is no reason
not to build the webapp when building the assistant. So, got rid of the
webapp build flag. Kept the assistant build flag for now, since building
without it does at least still speed up the build.
