Improve annex.stalldetection to handle remotes that update progress less
frequently than the configured time period.
In particular, this makes remotes that don't report progress but are
chunked work when transferring a single chunk takes longer than the
specified time period.
Any remotes that just have very low update granulatity would also be
handled by this.
The change to Remote.Helper.Chunked avoids an extra progress update when
resuming an interrupted upload. In that case, the code saw first Nothing
and then Just the already transferred number of bytes, which defeated this
new heuristic. This change will mean that, when resuming an interrupted
upload to a chunked remote that does not do its own progress reporting, the
progress display does not start out displaying the amount sent so far,
until after the first chunk is sent. This behavior change does not seem
like a major problem.
About the scalefudgefactor, it seems reasonable to expect subsequent chunks
to take no more than 1.5 times as long as the first chunk to transfer.
Could set it to 1, but then any chunk taking a little longer would be
treated as a stall. 2 also seems a likely value. Even 10 might be fine?

This works well, and it interoperates with gpg in my testing (although some
SOP commands might choose to use a profile that does not so caveat emptor).
Note that for creating the Cipher, gpg --gen-random is still used. SOP
does not have an eqivilant, and as long as the user has gpg around,
which seems likely, it doesn't matter that it uses gpg here, it's not being
used for encryption. That seemed better than implementing a second way
to get high quality entropy, at least for now.
The need for the sop command to run in an empty directory has each call
to encrypt and decrypt creating a new temporary directory. That is some
unncessary overhead, though probably swamped by the overhead of running
the sop command. This could be improved in the future by passing an
already empty directory to them, or a sufficiently empty directory
(.git/annex/tmp would probably suffice).

Some small wins, almost certianly swamped by the system calls, but still
worthwhile progress on the RawFilePath conversion.

Fix retrival of an empty file that is stored in a special remote with
chunking enabled.
The speculative chunk stuff caused a reversion by adding an empty list for
the empty file. Which is just wrong; the empty file is still stored on the
remote, and should be retrieved like any other file. It uses 1 chunk, so
`max 1` is the simple fix.

Rather than the error that occurred when trying to download the unchunked
content, which is less likely to actually be stored in the remote.

Now it's run in VerifyStage.
I thought about keeping the file handle open, and resuming reading where
tailVerify left off. But that risks leaking open file handles, until the
GC closes them, if the deferred verification does not get resumed. Since
that could perhaps happen if there's an exception somewhere, I decided
that was too unsafe.
Instead, re-open the file, seek, and resume.

It uses tailVerify to hash the file while it's being written.
This is able to sometimes avoid a separate checksum step. Although
if the file gets written quickly enough, tailVerify may not see it
get created before the write finishes, and the checksum still happens.
Testing with the directory special remote, incremental checksumming did
not happen. But then I disabled the copy CoW probing, and it did work.
What's going on with that is the CoW probe creates an empty file on
failure, then deletes it, and then the file is created again. tailVerify
will open the first, empty file, and so fails to read the content that
gets written to the file that replaces it.
The directory special remote really ought to be able to avoid needing to
use tailVerify, and while other special remotes could do things that
cause similar problems, they probably don't. And if they do, it just
means the checksum doesn't get done incrementally.

Simply feed each chunk in turn to the incremental verifier.
When resuming an interrupted retrieve, it does not do incremental
verification. That would need to read the file, up to the resume point,
and feed it to the incremental verifier. That seems easy to get wrong.
Also it would mean extra work done before the transfer can start. Which
would complicate displaying progress, and would perhaps not appear to the
user as if it was resuming from where it left off. Instead, in that
situation, return UnVerified, and let the verification be done in a
separate pass.
Granted, Annex.CopyFile does manage all that, but it's not complicated
by dealing with chunks too.

Several special remotes verify content while it is being retrieved,
avoiding a separate checksum pass. They are: S3, bup, ddar, and
gcrypt (with a local repository).
Not done when using chunking, yet.
Complicated by Retriever needing to change to be polymorphic. Which in turn
meant RankNTypes is needed, and also needed some code changes. The
change in Remote.External does not change behavior at all but avoids
the type checking failing because of a "rigid, skolem type" which
"would escape its scope". So I refactored slightly to make the type
checker's job easier there.
Unfortunately, directory uses fileRetriever (except when chunked),
so it is not amoung the improved ones. Fixing that would need a way for
FileRetriever to return a Verification. But, since the file retrieved
may be encrypted or chunked, it would be extra work to always
incrementally checksum the file while retrieving it. Hm.
Some other special remotes use fileRetriever, and so don't get incremental
verification, but could be converted to byteRetriever later. One is
GitLFS, which uses downloadConduit, which writes to the file, so could
verify as it goes. Other special remotes like web could too, but don't
use Remote.Helper.Special and so will need to be addressed separately.

Avoiding using a callback simplifies this and should make it easier to
implement incremental checksumming, which will need to happen partly in
writeRetrievedContent and partly in retrieveChunks.
Lots of nice wins from this in avoiding unncessary work, and I think
nothing got slower.
This commit was sponsored by Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. on Patreon.
Only done in checkPresentChunks, although retrieveChunks could also do
it. Does not seem necessary though, because git-annex never retrives
content without first checking if it's present AFAICR. And really this will
only be needed when using fsck. Puttting it here, rather than in fsck
avoids breaking an abstraction boundary, and is nice and inexpensive.
When a special remote has chunking enabled, but no chunk sizes are
recorded (or the recorded ones are not found), speculatively try chunks
using the configured chunk size.
This makes eg, git-annex fsck --from remote be able to fix up the
location log of a file that the git-annex branch does not indicate is
stored on the remote.
Note that fsck does *not* fix up the chunk log to indicate the chunk
size. So, changing the chunk config of the remote after that will still
prevent accessing the chunks stored on it. Maybe fsck should, but I
wanted to start with this and see if it's needed.
Fix bug that made enableremote of S3 and webdav remotes, that have
embedcreds=yes, fail to set up the embedded creds, so accessing the remotes
failed.
(Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7 in when reworking all the
remote configs to be parsed.)
Root problem is that parseEncryptionConfig excludes all other config keys
except encryption ones, so it is then unable to find the
credPairRemoteField. And since that field is not required to be
present, it proceeds as if it's not, rather than failing in any visible
way.
This causes it to not find any creds, and so it does not cache
them. When when the S3 remote tries to make a S3 connection, it finds no
creds, so assumes it's being used in no-creds mode, and tries to find a
public url. With no public url available, it fails, but the failure doesn't
say a lack of creds is the problem.
Fix is to provide setRemoteCredPair with a ParsedRemoteConfig, so the full
set of configs of the remote can be parsed. A bit annoying to need to
parse the remote config before the full config (as returned by
setRemoteCredPair) is available, but this avoids the problem.
I assume webdav also had the problem by inspection, but didn't try to
reproduce it with it.
Also, getRemoteCredPair used getRemoteConfigValue to get a ProposedAccepted
String, but that does not seem right. Now that it runs that code, it
crashed saying it had just a String.
Remotes that have already been enableremoted, and so lack the cached creds
file will work after this fix, because getRemoteCredPair will extract
the creds from the remote config, writing the missing file.

When storing content on remote fails, always display a reason why.
Since the Storer used by special remotes already did, this mostly affects
git remotes, but not entirely. For example, if git-lfs failed to connect to
the endpoint, it used to silently return False.
Needed so Remote.External can query the external program for its
configs. When the external program does not support the query,
the passthrough option will make all input fields be available.
Use of Typeable means the type checker can't catch this kind of mistake,
the error is deferred to runtime.
testremote now passes on a directory special remote
Remote now contains a ParsedRemoteConfig. The parsing happens when the
Remote is constructed, rather than when individual configs are used.
This is more efficient, and it lets initremote/enableremote
reject configs that have unknown fields or unparsable values.
It also allows for improved type safety, as shown in
Remote.Helper.Encryptable where things that used to match on string
configs now match on data types.
This is a work in progress, it does not build yet.
The main risk in this conversion is forgetting to add a field to
RemoteConfigParser. That will prevent using that field with
initremote/enableremote, and will prevent remotes that already are set
up from seeing that configuration. So will need to check carefully that
every field that getRemoteConfigValue is called on has been added to
RemoteConfigParser.
(One such case I need to remember is that credPairRemoteField needs to be
included in the RemoteConfigParser.)
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.
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.
This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
This reverts commit 4536c93bb2.
That broke Read/Show of a Key, and unfortunately Key is read in at least
one place; the GitAnnexDistribution data type.
It would be worth bringing this optimisation back, but it would need
either a custom Read/Show instance that preserves back-compat, or
wrapping Key in a data type that contains the serialization, or changing
how GitAnnexDistribution is serialized.
Also, the Eq instance would need to compare keys with and without a
cached seralization the same.
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.
It means that every place a Key has any of its fields changed, the cache
has to be dropped. I've grepped and found them all. But, it would be
better to avoid that gotcha somehow..
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.

This only makes sense for public repos, that are not chunked, so
that there's a 1:1 from Key in the git-annex repo to file on the remote.
Rather than making every remote implementation deal with that, just disable
whereisKey when it doesn't make sense.
Avoid using fileSize which maxes out at just 2 gb on Windows.
Instead, use hFileSize, which doesn't have a bounded size.
Fixes support for files > 2 gb on Windows.
Note that the InodeCache code only needs to compare a file size,
so it doesn't matter it the file size wraps. So it has been
left as-is. This was necessary both to avoid invalidating existing inode
caches, and because the code passed FileStatus around and would have become
more expensive if it called getFileSize.

Now `git annex info $remote` shows info specific to the type of the remote,
for example, it shows the rsync url.
Remote types that support encryption or chunking also include that in their
info.

This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
Added a mkUnavailable method, which a Remote can use to generate a version
of itself that is not available. Implemented for several, but not yet all
remotes.
This allows testing that checkPresent properly throws an exceptions when
it cannot check if a key is present or not. It also allows testing that the
other methods don't throw exceptions in these circumstances.
This immediately found several bugs, which this commit also fixes!
* git remotes using ssh accidentially had checkPresent return
an exception, rather than throwing it
* The chunking code accidentially returned False rather than
propigating an exception when there were no chunks and
checkPresent threw an exception for the non-chunked key.

Removed old extensible-exceptions, only needed for very old ghc.
Made webdav use Utility.Exception, to work after some changes in DAV's
exception handling.
Removed Annex.Exception. Mostly this was trivial, but note that
tryAnnex is replaced with tryNonAsync and catchAnnex replaced with
catchNonAsync. In theory that could be a behavior change, since the former
caught all exceptions, and the latter don't catch async exceptions.
However, in practice, nothing in the Annex monad uses async exceptions.
Grepping for throwTo and killThread only find stuff in the assistant,
which does not seem related.
Command.Add.undo is changed to accept a SomeException, and things
that use it for rollback now catch non-async exceptions, rather than
only IOExceptions.
I tend to prefer moving toward explicit exception handling, not away from
it, but in this case, I think there are good reasons to let checkPresent
throw exceptions:
1. They can all be caught in one place (Remote.hasKey), and we know
every possible exception is caught there now, which we didn't before.
2. It simplified the code of the Remotes. I think it makes sense for
Remotes to be able to be implemented without needing to worry about
catching exceptions inside them. (Mostly.)
3. Types.StoreRetrieve.Preparer can only work on things that return a
Bool, which all the other relevant remote methods already did.
I do not see a good way to generalize that type; my previous attempts
failed miserably.
