Got the right git config settings inherited now.
Note that the url config is not passed on to git, so it won't be able
to access the proxied remote. That would need some kind of
git-remote-annex but for proxied remotes anyway. Unsure yet if that will
be needed.
Untested, but this should be close to working. The proxied remotes have
the same url but a different uuid. When talking to current
git-annex-shell, it will fail due to a uuid mismatch. Once it supports
proxies, it will know that the presented uuid is for a remote that it
proxies for.
The check for any git config settings for a remote with the same name as
the proxied remote is there for several reasons. One is security:
Writing a name to the proxy log should not cause changes to
how an existing, configured git remote operates in a different clone of
the repo.
It's possible that the user has been using a proxied remote, and decides
to set a git config for it. We can't tell the difference between that
scenario and an evil remote trying to eg, intercept a file upload
by replacing their remote with a proxied remote.
Also, if the user sets some git config, does it override the config
inherited from the proxy remote? Seems a difficult question. Luckily,
the above means we don't need to think through it.
This does mean though, that in order for a user to change the config of
a proxy remote, they have to manually set its annex-uuid and url, as
well as the config they want to change. They may also have to set any of
the inherited configs that they were relying on.
When there is a proxy remote, remotes that it proxies need to be
constructed with the right subset of the remote git-config settings.
Obviously, the url is the same, and the uuid is different.
Added proxyInheritedFields that lists all the fields that should be
inherited. These will be copied into the proxied remote when instantiating it.
There were a lot of decisions here, made without certainty in some
cases. May need to revisit them.
The RemoteGitConfigField type was added to make sure that every config
used in extractRemoteGitConfig gets considered for proxy inheritance,
including new ones that get added going forward. And to avoid needing to
write the field string more than once.
cabal exec will sometimes output other messages to stdout, which
broke the build. It used to be intermittent in CI, now seems to always
happen. Messages are eg "Resolving dependencies..."
It seems that cabal list-bin never does this. I hope.
cabal list-bin is fairly new, needing cabal 3.8, which is only in Debian
testing/unstable. So fall back to cabal exec if it fails.
