git annex init probes for crippled filesystems, and sets direct mode, as
well as `annex.crippledfilesystem`.
Avoid manipulating permissions of files on crippled filesystems.
That would likely cause an exception to be thrown.
Very basic support in Command.Add for cripped filesystems; avoids the lock
down entirely since doing it needs both permissions and hard links.
Will make this better soon.
Various things that don't work on Android are just ifdefed out.
* the webapp (needs template haskell for arm)
* --include and --exclude globbing (needs libpcre, which is not ported;
probably I'll make it use the pure haskell glob library instead)
* annex.diskreserve checking (missing sys/statvfs.h)
* timestamp preservation support (yawn)
* S3
* WebDAV
* XMPP
The resulting 17mb binary has been tested on Android, and it is able to,
at least, print its usage message.
This avoids some small overhead by only running the check once per command;
it also ensures that, even if the command doesn't find anything to run on,
it still fails to run when in a bare repo.
Kqueue needs to remember which files failed to be added due to being open,
and retry them. This commit gets the data in place for such a retry thread.
Broke KeySource out into its own file, and added Eq and Ord instances
so it can be stored in a Set.
While I was in there, I noticed and fixed a bug in the queue size
calculations. It was never encountered only because Queue.add was
only ever run with 1 file in the list.
There's a race adding a new file to the annex: The file is moved to the
annex and replaced with a symlink, and then we git add the symlink. If
someone comes along in the meantime and replaces the symlink with
something else, such as a new large file, we add that instead. Which could
be bad..
This race is fixed by avoiding using git add, instead the symlink is
directly staged into the index.
It would be nice to make `git annex add` use this same technique.
I have not done so yet because it currently runs git update-index once per
file, which would slow does `git annex add`. A future enhancement would be
to extend the Git.Queue to include the ability to run update-index with
a list of Streamers.
Anything that tries to open the file for write, or delete the file,
or replace it with something else, will not affect the add.
Only if a process has the file open for write before add starts
can it still change it while (or after) it's added to the annex.
(fsck will catch this later of course)
Now gitattributes are looked up, efficiently, in only the places that
really need them, using the same approach used for cat-file.
The old CheckAttr code seemed very fragile, in the way it streamed files
through git check-attr.
I actually found that cad8824852
was still deadlocking with ghc 7.4, at the end of adding a lot of files.
This should fix that problem, and avoid future ones.
The best part is that this removes withAttrFilesInGit and withNumCopies,
which were complicated Seek methods, as well as simplfying the types
for several other Seek methods that had a Backend tupled in.
Supporting multiple directory hash types will allow converting to a
different one, without a flag day.
gitAnnexLocation now checks which of the possible locations have a file.
This means more statting of files. Several places currently use
gitAnnexLocation and immediately check if the returned file exists;
those need to be optimised.
The only fully supported thing is to have the main repository on one disk,
and .git/annex on another. Only commands that move data in/out of the annex
will need to copy it across devices.
There is only partial support for putting arbitrary subdirectories of
.git/annex on different devices. For one thing, but this can require more
copies to be done. For example, when .git/annex/tmp is on one device, and
.git/annex/journal on another, every journal write involves a call to
mv(1). Also, there are a few places that make hard links between various
subdirectories of .git/annex with createLink, that are not handled.
In the common case without cross-device, the new moveFile is actually
faster than renameFile, avoiding an unncessary stat to check that a file
(not a directory) is being moved. Of course if a cross-device move is
needed, it is as slow as mv(1) of the data.
Many functions took the repo as their first parameter. Changing it
consistently to be the last parameter allows doing some useful things with
currying, that reduce boilerplate.
In particular, g <- gitRepo is almost never needed now, instead
use inRepo to run an IO action in the repo, and fromRepo to get
a value from the repo.
This also provides more opportunities to use monadic and applicative
combinators.
This new approach allows filtering out checks from the default set that are
not appropriate for a command, rather than having to list every check
that is appropriate. It also reduces some boilerplate.
Haskell does not define Eq for functions, so I had to go a long way around
with each check having a unique id. Meh.
These were a mistake, they make the type signatures harder to read and
less flexible. The CommandSeek, CommandStart, CommandPerform, and
CommandCleanup types were a good idea, but composing them with the
parameters expected is going too far.
The tricky part about this is that to generate a key, the file must be
present already. Worked around by adding (back) an URL key type, which
is used for addurl --fast.
This was more complex than would be expected. unannex has to use git commit -a
since it's removing files from git; git commit filelist won't do.
Allow commands to be added to the Git queue that have no associated files,
and run such commands once.
The only remaining vestiage of backends is different types of keys. These
are still called "backends", mostly to avoid needing to change user interface
and configuration. But everything to do with storing keys in different
backends was gone; instead different types of remotes are used.
In the refactoring, lots of code was moved out of odd corners like
Backend.File, to closer to where it's used, like Command.Drop and
Command.Fsck. Quite a lot of dead code was removed. Several data structures
became simpler, which may result in better runtime efficiency. There should
be no user-visible changes.
Since the queue is flushed in between subcommand actions being run,
there should be no issues with actions that expect to queue up some stuff
and have it run after they do other stuff. So I didn't have to audit for
such assumptions.
When adding files to the annex, the symlinks pointing at the annexed
content are made to have the same mtime as the original file. While git
does not preserve that information, this allows a tool like metastore to be
used with annexed files.
