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.
Minor because normally only 1 FD is leaked per git-annex run. However,
the test suite leaks a few hundred FDs, and this broke it on the Debian
autobuilders, which seem to have a tigher than usual ulimit.
The leak was introduced by the lazy getDirectoryContents' that was
introduced in e6330988dd in order to scale to
millions of journal files -- if the lazy list was never fully consumed, the
directory handle did not get closed.
Instead, pull in openDirectory/readDirectory/closeDirectory code that I
already developed and submitted in a patch to the haskell directory library
earlier. Using this in journalDirty avoids the place that the lazy list
caused a problem. And using it in stageJournal eliminates the need for
getDirectoryContents'.
The getJournalFiles* functions are switched back to using the regular
strict getDirectoryContents. I'm not sure if those always consume the whole
list, so this avoids any leak. And the things that call those are things
like git annex unused, which also look at every file committed to the
git-annex branch, so would need more work to scale to insane numbers of
files anyway.
Eg after git-annex add has run on 2 million files in one go.
Slightly unhappy with the neeed to use a temp file here, but I cannot see
any other alternative (see comments on the bug report).

Support users who have set commit.gpgsign, by disabling gpg signatures for
git-annex branch commits and commits made by the assistant.
The thinking here is that a user sets commit.gpgsign intending the commits
that they manually initiate to be gpg signed. But not commits made in the
background, whether by a deamon or implicitly to the git-annex branch.
gpg signing those would be at best a waste of CPU and at worst would fail,
or flood the user with gpg passphrase prompts, or put their signature on
changes they did not directly do.
See Debian bug #753720.
Also makes all commits done by git-annex go through a few central control
points, to make such changes easier in future.
Also disables commit.gpgsign in the test suite.

There was a tricky bit here, when it does combine, the edit form is shown,
and so the info needs to be committed to the new repository, but then
pulled into the current one. And caches need to be invalidated for it
to be visible in the edit form.
Allow any encoding to be used, as with filenames (but utf8 is the sane
choice). Affects metadata and repository descriptions, and preferred
content expressions.
The question of what's the right encoding for the git-annex branch is a
vexing one. utf-8 would be a nice choice, but this leaves the possibility
of bad data getting into a git-annex branch somehow, and this resulting in
git-annex crashing with encoding errors, which is a failure mode I want to
avoid.
(Also, preferred content expressions can refer to filenames, and filenames
can have any encoding, so limiting to utf-8 would not be ideal.)
The union merge code already took care to not assume any encoding for a
file. Except it assumes that any \n is a literal newline, and not part of
some encoding of a character that happens to contain a newline. (At least
utf-8 avoids using newline for anything except liternal newlines.)
Adapted the git-annex branch code to use this same approach.
Note that there is a potential interop problem with Windows, since
FileSystemEncoding doesn't work there, and instead things are always
decoded as utf-8. If someone uses non-utf8 encoding for data on the
git-annex branch, this can lead to an encoding error on windows. However,
this commit doesn't actually make that any worse, because the union merge
code would similarly fail with an encoding error on windows in that
situation.

Removed instance, got it all to build using fromRef. (With a few things
that really need to show something using a ref for debugging stubbed out.)
Then added back Read instance, and made Logs.View use it for serialization.
This changes the view log format.
(And a vpop command, which is still a bit buggy.)
Still need to do vadd and vrm, though this also adds their documentation.
Currently not very happy with the view log data serialization. I had to
lose the TDFA regexps temporarily, so I can have Read/Show instances of
View. I expect the view log format will change in some incompatable way
later, probably adding last known refs for the parent branch to View
or something like that.
Anyway, it basically works, although it's a bit slow looking up the
metadata. The actual git branch construction is about as fast as it can be
using the current git plumbing.

The assistant's commit code also always avoids git commit, for simplicity.
Indirect mode sync still does a git commit -a to catch unstaged changes.
Note that this means that direct mode sync no longer runs the pre-commit
hook or any other hooks git commit might call. The git annex pre-commit
hook action for direct mode is however explicitly run. (The assistant
already ran git commit with hooks disabled, so no change there.)
My implementation does not guard against double locking of the journal. But
it does ensure that the journal is always locked when operated on, by using
a type that is only produced by lockJournal, and which is required as a
parameter of all functions that operate on the journal.
Note that I had to add the fooStale functions for cases where it does not
make sense to lock the journal when querying it. I was more concerned about
ensuring that anything that modifies the journal is locked.
setJournalFile's implementation ensures that any query of the journal will
get one value or the other atomically, even if the journal is being changed
at the time.
This may not strictly be needed -- the transition code bypasses the
journal. However, this ensures that the git-annex branch is only
committed with the journal locked. This will allow for further
improvements.
The second commit had some bad refs which resulted in the race detection
code running. But that commit was unnecessary anyway, it only was there to
merge in the other refs.
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.
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.
This bug was turned up by the test suite, running fsck in direct mode.
A repository was cloned, was put into direct mode, was fscked, and fsck
incorrectly said that no copy existed of a file, that was actually present
in origin.
This turned out to occur because fsck first did a Annex.Branch.change,
recording that it did not locally have the file. That was recorded in the
journal. Since neither the git annex direct not the fsck had yet needed to
read any info from the branch, but had only made changes to it, the
origin/git-annex branch was not yet merged in. So the journal got a
location log entry written to it, but this did not include
the location log info for the origin. When fsck then did a
Annex.Branch.get, it trusted the journal was cosnsitent, and returned it,
again w/o merging from origin/git-annex. This latter behavior is the
actual bug.
Refer to commit e9bfa8eaed for the thinking
behind it being ok to make a change to a file on the branch, without
first merging the branch. That thinking still stands. However, it means
that files in the journal cannot be trusted to be consistent if the branch
has not been merged. So, to fix, just enure the branch gets merged, even
when reading from the journal.
In tests, this does not seem to cause any extra merging. Except, of course,
in the one case described above. But git annex add, etc, are able to make
changes w/o first merging the branch.
That's needed in files used to build the configure program.
For the other files, I'm keeping my __WINDOWS__ define, as I find that much easier to type.
I may search and replace it to use the mingw32_HOST_OS thing later.
Pass subcommand as a regular param, which allows passing git parameters
like -c before it. This was already done in the pipeing set of functions,
but not the command running set.
The only thing lost is ./ghci
Speed: make fast used to take 20 seconds here, when rebuilding from
touching Command/Unused.hs. With cabal, it's 29 seconds.
This resulted in a lot of user complains that git annex init had git
telling them they needed to run git config --global user.email .. which
didn't work because even HOME was not passed into git.
This cache prevented noticing changes made by another process.
The case I just ran into involved the assistant dropping a file, which
cached its presence info. Then the same file was downloaded again,
but the assistant didn't know its presence info had changed.
I don't see a way to keep this cache. Will instead rely on the OS level
file cache, for files in the journal. May need to add more higher-level
caching of info that it's ok to have a potentially stale copy of,
although much of git-annex already does so.
Setting GIT_INDEX_FILE clobbers the rest of the environment, making git
not read ~/.gitconfig, and blow up if GECOS didn't have a name for the
user.
I'm not entirely happy with getEnvironment being run every time now,
that's somewhat expensive. It may make sense to just set GIT_COMMITTER_*
and GIT_AUTHOR_*, but I worry that clobbering the rest could break PATH,
or GIT_PATH, or something else that might be used by a command run in here.
And caching the environment is not a good idea either; it can change..
I'm down to 9 places in the code that can produce unwaited for zombies.
Most of these are pretty innocuous, at least for now, are only
used in short-running commands, or commands that run a set of
actions and explicitly reap zombies after each one.
The one from Annex.Branch.files could be trouble later,
since both Command.Fsck and Command.Unused can trigger it,
and the assistant will be doing those eventally. Ditto the one in
Git.LsTree.lsTree, which Command.Unused uses.
The only ones currently affecting the assistant though, are
in Git.LsFiles. Several threads use several of those.
(And yeah, using pipes or ResourceT would be a less ad-hoc approach,
but I don't really feel like ripping my entire code base apart right
now to change a foundation monad. Maybe one of these days..)
Branch.get is not able to see changes that have been staged to the index
but not committed. This is a limitation of git cat-file --batch; when
reading from the index, as opposed to from a branch, it does not notice
changes made after the first time it reads the index.
So, had to revert the changes made in 1f73db3469
to make annex.alwayscommit=false stage changes.
Also, ensure that Branch.change and Branch.get always see changes
at all points during a commit, by not deleting journal files when
staging to the index. Delete them only after committing the branch.
Before, there was a race during commits where a different git-annex
could see out-of-date info from the branch while a commit was in progress.
That's also done when updating the branch to merge in remote branches.
In the case where the local git-annex branch has had changes pushed into it
that are not yet reflected in the index, and there are journalled changes
as well, a merge commit has to be done.
