This is to support, eg a borg repo as a special remote, which is
populated not by running git-annex commands, but by using borg. Then
git-annex sync lists the content of the remote, learns which files are
annex objects, and treats those as present in the remote.
So, most of the import machinery is reused, to a new purpose. While
normally importtree maintains a remote tracking branch, this does not,
because the files stored in the remote are annex object files, not
user-visible filenames. But, internally, a git tree is still generated,
of the files on the remote that are annex objects. This tree is used
by retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier, etc. As with other import/export
remotes, that the tree is recorded in the export log, and gets grafted
into the git-annex branch.
importKey changed to be able to return Nothing, to indicate when an
ImportLocation is not an annex object and so should be skipped from
being included in the tree.
It did not seem to make sense to have git-annex import do this, since
from the user's perspective, it's not like other imports. So only
git-annex sync does it.
Note that, git-annex sync does not yet download objects from such
remotes that are preferred content. importKeys is run with
content downloading disabled, to avoid getting the content of all
objects. Perhaps what's needed is for seekSyncContent to be run with these
remotes, but I don't know if it will just work (in particular, it needs
to avoid trying to transfer objects to them), so I skipped that for now.
(Untested and unused as of yet.)

This is better than using the equivilant actions for export remotes,
especially for getting content, since the ContentIdentifier checking
means we can be sure (enough) that the content is valid to not force
verification of content. Which allows getting keys of types that cannot
be verified.
Also, reorganized the internals of adjustExportImport which was becoming
very hard to follow. Now it's clear what each method does in each case.
Ah, it seemed too easy before when I was implementing importrree only,
and it was because all the key-based actions needed to be handled too.
Mostly copied from isexport, and this works. It does seem that
an import remote could use retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier
rather than retrieveExport, and checkPresentExportWithContentIdentifier
rather than checkPresentExport, which would both be more accurate.
I do think this was a reversion, but I have not tracked back to what
version. While involving the remote config, it's not the same class of
problems that I kept having to chase down for a while after the remote
config parser reworking.
There was no particular reason not to support this, other than maybe a lack
of a use case. One use case would of course be a remote that you want to
avoid overwriting content on. A new use case is the idea of importing from
backups, eg borg, where exporting is not necessarily supported at all.

Only supported by some special remotes: directory
I need to check the rest and they're currently missing methods until I do.
git-annex sync --no-content does not yet use this to do imports

retrieveExport is part of ongoing transition to make remote methods

getKey very rarely fails, and when it does it's always for the same reason
(user configured annex.backend to url for some reason). So, this will
avoid dealing with Nothing everywhere it's used.

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.
Fix serious regression in gcrypt and encrypted git-lfs remotes.
Since version 7.20200202.7, git-annex incorrectly stored content
on those remotes without encrypting it.
Problem was, Remote.Git enumerates all git remotes, including git-lfs
and gcrypt. It then dispatches to those. So, Remote.List used the
RemoteConfigParser from Remote.Git, instead of from git-lfs or gcrypt,
and that parser does not know about encryption fields, so did not
include them in the ParsedRemoteConfig. (Also didn't include other
fields specific to those remotes, perhaps chunking etc also didn't
get through.)
To fix, had to move RemoteConfig parsing down into the generate methods
of each remote, rather than doing it in Remote.List.
And a consequence of that was that ParsedRemoteConfig had to change to
include the RemoteConfig that got parsed, so that testremote can
generate a new remote based on an existing remote.
(I would have rather fixed this just inside Remote.Git, but that was not
practical, at least not w/o re-doing work that Remote.List already did.
Big ugly mostly mechanical patch seemed preferable to making git-annex
slower.)
Special remote programs that use GETCONFIG/SETCONFIG are recommended
to implement it.
The description is not yet used, but will be useful later when adding a way
to make initremote list all accepted configs.
configParser now takes a RemoteConfig parameter. Normally, that's not
needed, because configParser returns a parter, it does not parse it
itself. But, it's needed to look at externaltype and work out what
external remote program to run for LISTCONFIGS.
Note that, while externalUUID is changed to a Maybe UUID, checkExportSupported
used to use NoUUID. The code that now checks for Nothing used to behave
in some undefined way if the external program made requests that
triggered it.
Also, note that in externalSetup, once it generates external,
it parses the RemoteConfig strictly. That generates a
ParsedRemoteConfig, which is thrown away. The reason it's ok to throw
that away, is that, if the strict parse succeeded, the result must be
the same as the earlier, lenient parse.
initremote of an external special remote now runs the program three
times. First for LISTCONFIGS, then EXPORTSUPPORTED, and again
LISTCONFIGS+INITREMOTE. It would not be hard to eliminate at least
one of those, and it should be possible to only run the program once.
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.
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 solves the problem of sameas remotes trampling over per-remote
state. Used for:
* per-remote state, of course
* per-remote metadata, also of course
* per-remote content identifiers, because two remote implementations
could in theory generate the same content identifier for two different
peices of content
While chunk logs are per-remote data, they don't use this, because the
number and size of chunks stored is a common property across sameas
remotes.
External special remote had a complication, where it was theoretically
possible for a remote to send SETSTATE or GETSTATE during INITREMOTE or
EXPORTSUPPORTED. Since the uuid of the remote is typically generate in
Remote.setup, it would only be possible to pass a Maybe
RemoteStateHandle into it, and it would otherwise have to construct its
own. Rather than go that route, I decided to send an ERROR in this case.
It seems unlikely that any existing external special remote will be
affected. They would have to make up a git-annex key, and set state for
some reason during INITREMOTE. I can imagine such a hack, but it doesn't
seem worth complicating the code in such an ugly way to support it.
Unfortunately, both TestRemote and Annex.Import needed the Remote
to have a new field added that holds its RemoteStateHandle.
Prompted by the test suite on windows failing to with "export foo failed"
and no information about what went wrong.
Note that only storeExportWithContentIdentifier has been converted.
storeExport still returns a Bool and so exceptions may be hidden.
However, storeExportWithContentIdentifier has many more failure modes,
since it needs to avoid overwriting modified files. So it's more
important it have better error display.
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.)
Avoid a warning message when renameExport is not supported, and just
fallback to deleting with a subsequent re-upload. Especially needed for
importtree remotes, where renameExport needs to be disabled.
This changes the external special remote protocol, but in a
backwards-compatible way. A reply of UNSUPPORTED-REQUEST to an older
version of git-annex will cause it to make renameExport return False.
This is not super efficient; it would be better to lock the database
once and build up a queue of changes and flush once.
But, storeExportWithContentIdentifier is likely going to be the really
expensive part, so let's do the simple thing and only optimise later if
needed.
git-annex: thread blocked indefinitely in an STM transaction
failed
git-annex: sqlite query crashed
CallStack (from HasCallStack):
error, called at ./Database/Handle.hs:98:42 in main:Database.Handle
failed
This needs further investigation.
Use same, simpler method to make only one thread open the export db as
is used for the ContentIdentifier db.
And, always update the export db once before using.
Had to add two more API calls to override export APIs that are not safe
for use in combination with import.
It's unfortunate that removeExportDirectory is documented to be allowed
to remove non-empty directories. I'm not entirely sure why it's that
way, my best guess is it was intended to make it easy to implement with
just rm -rf.
For now, it's only allowed when exporttree=yes is also set.
That simplified the implementation, but could later be changed if
there's a remote that makes sense to be an import but not an export.
However, it may work just as well to make a remote be readonly to
prevent export to it while still allowing import.
