Note that the hash backends were made to stop printing a (checksum..)
message as part of this, since it showed up without a file when deciding
whether to act on a file. Should have probably removed that message a while
ago anyway, I suppose.
This works for both direct and indirect mode.
It may need some performance tuning.
Note that unlike git status, it only shows the status of the work tree, not
the status of the index. So only one status letter, not two .. and since
files that have been added and not yet committed do not differ between the
work tree and the index, they are not shown. Might want to add display of
the index vs the last commit eventually.

When starting up the assistant, it'll remind about the current
repository, if it doesn't have checks. And when a removable drive
is plugged in, it will remind if a repository on it lacks checks.
Since that might be annoying, the reminders can be turned off.

Copies files out of the annex. This avoids an unannex of one file breaking
other files that link to the same content. Also, it means that the content
remains in the annex using up space until cleaned up with "git annex
unused".
(The behavior of unannex --fast has not changed; it still hard
links to content in the annex. --fast was not made the default because it
is potentially unsafe; editing such a hard linked file can unexpectedly
change content stored in the annex.)
Overridable with --user-agent option.
Not yet done for S3 or WebDAV due to limitations of libraries used --
nether allows a user-agent header to be specified.

Note that it would be possible to extend the display to show all
repositories. But there can be a lot of repositories that are not set up as
remotes, and it would significantly clutter the display to show them all.
Since we're not showing all repositories, it's not worth trying to show
numcopies count either.
I decided to embrace these limitations and call the command remotes.
With the initremote parameters "encryption=pubkey keyid=788A3F4C".
/!\ Adding or removing a key has NO effect on files that have already
been copied to the remote. Hence using keyid+= and keyid-= with such
remotes should be used with care, and make little sense unless the point
is to replace a (sub-)key by another. /!\
Also, a test case has been added to ensure that the cipher and file
contents are encrypted as specified by the chosen encryption scheme.
Wrote nice pure transition calculator, and ugly code to stage its results
into the git-annex branch. Also had to split up several Log modules
that Annex.Branch needed to use, but that themselves used Annex.Branch.
The transition calculator is limited to looking at and changing one file at
a time. While this made the implementation relatively easy, it precludes
transitions that do stuff like deleting old url log files for keys that are
being removed because they are no longer present anywhere.
/!\ It is to be noted that revoking a key does NOT necessarily prevent
the owner of its private part from accessing data on the remote /!\
The only sound use of `keyid-=` is probably to replace a (sub-)key by
another, where the private part of both is owned by the same
person/entity:
git annex enableremote myremote keyid-=2512E3C7 keyid+=788A3F4C
Reference: http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Using_a_revoked_GPG_key/
* Other change introduced by this patch:
New keys now need to be added with option `keyid+=`, and the scheme
specified (upon initremote only) with `encryption=`. The motivation for
this change is to open for new schemes, e.g., strict asymmetric
encryption.
git annex initremote myremote encryption=hybrid keyid=2512E3C7
git annex enableremote myremote keyid+=788A3F4C
Works, more or less. --dead is not implemented, and so far a new branch
is made, but keys no longer present anywhere are not scrubbed.
git annex sync fails to push the synced/git-annex branch after a forget,
because it's not a fast-forward of the existing synced branch. Could be
fixed by making git-annex sync use assistant-style sync branches.
When quvi is installed, git-annex addurl automatically uses it to detect
when an page is a video, and downloads the video file.
web special remote: Also support using quvi, for getting files,
or checking if files exist in the web.

This is a simple approach for setting up a mirroring repository.
It will work with any type of remotes.
Mirror --from is more expensive than mirror --to in general.
OTOH, mirror --from will get the file from any remote that has it, not only
the named mirror remote. And if the named mirror remote is not the fastest
available remote with a file, that can speed things up.
It would be possible to make the assistant or watch command do a more
dynamic mirroring, that didn't need to scan every time.
I spent a long time worrying about this problem with --all, that it cannot
check .gitattributes files for numcopies settings, and so would not be
entirely safe to use. The solution turns out to be simple, just don't
implement `git annex drop --all`. drop is the only command that needs to
check numcopies (move can also reduce the number of copies, but explicitly
bypasses numcopies settings).
Use cases that might need a drop --all are probably better served by using
unused and dropunused, which already work in a bare repository.
This is so git remotes on servers without git-annex installed can be used
to keep clients' git repos in sync.
This is a behavior change, but since annex-sync can be set to disable
syncing with a remote, I think it's acceptable.
Introduced a new per-remote option 'annex-rsync-transport' to specify
the remote shell that it to be used with rsync. In case the value is
'ssh', connections are cached unless 'sshcaching' is unset.
Let's make semitrusted+:1 mean that, since it cannot be expressed easily
with the current syntax (could use (semitrusted:1 or trusted:1), but that
does not scale to higher values than 2 copy, and also fails if I add more
trust levels).
Thanks to Andy for spotting this bug by just reading my blog.
I would have sort of liked to put this in .gitattributes, but it seems
it does not support multi-word attribute values. Also, making this a single
config setting makes it easy to only parse the expression once.
A natural next step would be to make the assistant `git add` files that
are not annex.largefiles. OTOH, I don't think `git annex add` should
`git add` such files, because git-annex command line tools are
not in the business of wrapping git command line tools.
I have seen some other programs do this, and think it's pretty cool. Means
you can test wherever it's deployed, as well as at build time.
My other reason for doing it is less happy. Cabal's handling of test suites
sucks, requiring duplicated info, and even when that's done, it fails to
preprocess hsc files here. Building it in avoids that and avoids having
to explicitly tell cabal to enable test suites, which would then make it
link the test executable every time, which is unnecessarily slow.
This also has the benefit that now "make fast test" does a max speed build
and tests it.
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.
New setting, can be used to disable autocommit of changed files by the
assistant, while it still does data syncing and other tasks.
Also wired into webapp UI
Incomplete; I need to finish parsing and saving. This will also be used
for editing transfer control expresssions.
Removed the group display from the status output, I didn't really
like that format, and vicfg can be used to see as well as edit rempository
group membership.
The default backend used when adding files to the annex is changed from
SHA256 to SHA256E, to simplify interoperability with OSX, media players,
and various programs that needlessly look at symlink targets.
To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=SHA256
Used by the assistant, rather than copy, this is faster because it avoids
using git ls-files, avoids checking the location log redundantly, and
runs in oneshot mode, avoiding making a commit to the git-annex branch
for every file transferred.
git annex assistant --autostart will start separate daemons in each
listed autostart repo
running the webapp outside any git-annex repo will open it on the
first listed autostart repo
getConfig got a remote-specific config, and this confusing name caused it
to be used a couple of places that only were interested in global configs.
Rename to getRemoteConfig and make getConfig only get global configs.
There are no behavior changes here, but remote.<name>.annex-web-options
never actually worked (and per-remote web options is a very unlikely to be
useful case so I didn't make it work), so fix the documentation for it.
Add tuning, docs, etc.
Not sure if status is the right place to remote size.. perhaps unused
should report the size and also warn if it sees more keys than the bloom
filter allows?
Locking is used, so that, if there are multiple git-annex processes
using a remote concurrently, the stop hook is only run by the last
process that uses it.
To avoid commits of data to the git-annex branch after each command
is run, set annex.alwayscommit=false. Its data will then be committed
less frequently, when a merge or sync is done.
