The hoped for optimisation of CommandStart with -J did not materialize.
In fact, not runnign CommandStart in parallel is slower than -J3.
So, CommandStart are still run in parallel.
(The actual bad performance I've been seeing with -J in my big repo
has to do with building the remoteList.)
But, this is still progress toward making -J faster, because it gets rid
of the onlyActionOn roadblock in the way of making CommandCleanup jobs
run separate from CommandPerform jobs.
Added OnlyActionOn constructor for ActionItem which fixes the
onlyActionOn breakage in the last commit.
Made CustomOutput include an ActionItem, so even things using it can
specify OnlyActionOn.
In Command.Move and Command.Sync, there were CommandStarts that used
includeCommandAction, so output messages, which is no longer allowed.
Fixed by using startingCustomOutput, but that's still not quite right,
since it prevents message display for the includeCommandAction run
inside it too.
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.)
What these generate is not really suitable to be used as a filename,
which is why keyFile and fileKey further escape it. These are just
serializing Keys.
Also removed a quickcheck test that was very unlikely to test anything
useful, since it relied on random chance creating something that looks
like a serialized key. The other test is sufficient for testing what
that was intended to test anyway.
This fixes a bug with the numcopies counting when using sync --content.
It did not always pass the local repo uuid to handleDropsFrom, and so the
numcopies counting was off by one, and unwanted local content would only be
dropped when there were numcopies+1 remote copies.
Also, support dropping local content that has reached an
exporttree remote that is not untrusted (currently only S3 remotes
with versioning).
Make git-annex sync and the assistant skip trying to drop from appendonly
remotes since it's just going to fail.
git-annex drop and similar commands will still try to drop from
appendonly, so the user will see failure messages when they try to do
that. To do otherwise would be confusing since the user has explicitly
asked for a drop with those commands.

Show branch:file that is being operated on.
I had to make ActionItem a type and not a type class because
withKeyOptions' passed two different types of values when using the type
class, and I could not get the type checker to accept that.
The type checker should have noticed this, but the changes to mapM
that make it accept any Traversable hid the fact that it was not being
passed a list at all. Thus, what should have returned an empty list most
of the time instead returned [""] which was treated as the name of the
associated file, with disasterout consequences.
When I have time, I should add a test case checking what sync --content
drops. I should also consider replacing mapM with one re-specialized to
lists.
Fixes several bugs with updates of pointer files. When eg, running
git annex drop --from localremote
it was updating the pointer file in the local repository, not the remote.
Also, fixes drop ../foo when run in a subdir, and probably lots of other
problems. Test suite drops from ~30 to 11 failures now.
TopFilePath is used to force thinking about what the filepath is relative
to.
The data stored in the sqlite db is still just a plain string, and
TopFilePath is a newtype, so there's no overhead involved in using it in
DataBase.Keys.
There should be no behavior changes in this commit, it just adds a more
expressive data type and adjusts code that had been passing around a [UUID]
or sometimes a Maybe Remote to instead use [VerifiedCopy].
Although, since some functions were taking two different [UUID] lists,
there's some potential for me to have gotten it horribly wrong.
This works, and seems fairly robust. Clean get of 20 files at -J3. At -J10,
there are some messages about ssh multiplexing, probably due to a race
spinning up the ssh connection cacher. But, it manages to get all the files
ok regardless.
The progress bars are a scrambled mess though, due to bugs in
ascii-progress, which I've already filed. Particularly this one:
https://github.com/yamadapc/haskell-ascii-progress/issues/8
Removed old extensible-exceptions, only needed for very old ghc.
Made webdav use Utility.Exception, to work after some changes in DAV's
exception handling.
Removed Annex.Exception. Mostly this was trivial, but note that
tryAnnex is replaced with tryNonAsync and catchAnnex replaced with
catchNonAsync. In theory that could be a behavior change, since the former
caught all exceptions, and the latter don't catch async exceptions.
However, in practice, nothing in the Annex monad uses async exceptions.
Grepping for throwTo and killThread only find stuff in the assistant,
which does not seem related.
Command.Add.undo is changed to accept a SomeException, and things
that use it for rollback now catch non-async exceptions, rather than
only IOExceptions.
Several places assumed this would not happen, and when the AssociatedFile
was Nothing, did nothing.
As part of this, preferred content checks pass the Key around.
Note that checkMatcher is sometimes now called with Just Key and Just File.
It currently constructs a FileMatcher, ignoring the Key. However, if it
constructed a FileKeyMatcher, which contained both, then it might be
possible to speed up parts of Limit, which currently call the somewhat
expensive lookupFileKey to get the Key.
I have not made this optimisation yet, because I am not sure if the key is
always the same. Will need some significant checking to satisfy myself
that's the case..
* numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all
clones of a repository.
* The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies
command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies
git configs will be ignored.
* assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies.
This global numcopies setting is needed to let preferred content
expressions operate on numcopies.
It's also convenient, because typically if you want git-annex to preserve N
copies of files in a repo, you want it to do that no matter which repo it's
running in. Making it global avoids needing to warn the user about gotchas
involving inconsistent annex.numcopies settings.
(See changes to doc/numcopies.mdwn.)
Added a new variety of git-annex branch log file, that holds only 1 value.
Will probably be useful for other stuff later.

I've been disliking how the command seek actions were written for some
time, with their inversion of control and ugly workarounds.
The last straw to fix it was sync --content, which didn't fit the
Annex [CommandStart] interface well at all. I have not yet made it take
advantage of the changed interface though.
The crucial change, and probably why I didn't do it this way from the
beginning, is to make each CommandStart action be run with exceptions
caught, and if it fails, increment a failure counter in annex state.
So I finally remove the very first code I wrote for git-annex, which
was before I had exception handling in the Annex monad, and so ran outside
that monad, passing state explicitly as it ran each CommandStart action.
This was a real slog from 1 to 5 am.
Test suite passes.
Memory usage is lower than before, sometimes by a couple of megabytes, and
remains constant, even when running in a large repo, and even when
repeatedly failing and incrementing the error counter. So no accidental
laziness space leaks.
Wall clock speed is identical, even in large repos.

Similar to the assistant, this honors any configured preferred content
expressions.
I am not entirely happpy with the implementation. It would be nicer if
the seek function returned a list of actions which included the individual
file gets and copies and drops, rather than the current list of calls to
syncContent. This would allow getting rid of the somewhat reundant display
of "sync file [ok|failed]" after the get/put display.
But, do that, withFilesInGit would need to somehow be able to construct
such a mixed action list. And it would be less efficient than the current
implementation, which is able to reuse several values between eg get and
drop.
Note that currently this does not try to satisfy numcopies when
getting/putting files (numcopies are of course checked when dropping
files!) This makes it like the assistant, and unlike get --auto
and copy --auto, which do duplicate files when numcopies is not yet
satisfied. I don't know if this is the right decision; it only seemed to
make sense to have this parallel the assistant as far as possible to start
with, since I know the assistant works.
