The latter is for git-annex matchexpression and matching against it can
throw an exception. Splitting out the former reduces the potential for
mistakes and avoids needing to worry about matching against that
throwing an exception.
This is more groundwork for matching largefiles while importing,
without downloading content.
This commit was sponsored by Graham Spencer on Patreon.
Anything that needs to examine the file content will fail to match,
or fall back to other available information. But the intent is that the
matcher be checked for matchNeedsFileContent and only be used if it does
not, so the exact behavior doesn't much matter as it should never
happen.
The real point of this is to not need to provide a dummy content file
when matching.

Sped up seeking for files to operate on, when using options like --copies
or --in, by around 20%.
Benchmark showed an increase for --copies from 155 seconds to 121
seconds, and --in remote will be similar to that.
For --in here, the speedup was less, 5-10% or so.

Sped up seeking to around twice as fast, by avoiding a pass over the
worktree files when preferred content expressions of the local repo and
remotes don't use include=/exclude=.
Thanks to Lukey for identifying the optimisation.

matchNeedsFileContent is not used yet, but shows how to add information
about terminals. That one would be needed for
https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/sync_fast_import/
Note the tricky bit in Annex.FileMatcher.call where it folds over the
included matcher to propagate the information.

The use case of this field is mostly to support -J combined with --json.
When that is implemented, a user will be able to look at the field to
determine which of the requests they have sent it corresponds to.
The field typically has a single value in its list, but in some cases
mutliple values (eg 2 command-line params) are combined together and the
list will have more.
Note that json parsing was already non-strict, so old git-annex metadata
--json --batch can be fed json produced by the new git-annex and will
not stumble over the new field.
No behavior changes (hopefully), just adding SeekInput and plumbing it
through to the JSON display code for later use.
Over the course of 2 grueling days.
withFilesNotInGit reimplemented in terms of seekHelper
should be the only possible behavior change. It seems to test as
behaving the same.
Note that seekHelper dummies up the SeekInput in the case where
segmentPaths' gives up on sorting the expanded paths because there are
too many input paths. When SeekInput later gets exposed as a json field,
that will result in it being a little bit wrong in the case where
100 or more paths are passed to a git-annex command. I think this is a
subtle enough problem to not matter. If it does turn out to be a
problem, fixing it would require splitting up the input
parameters into groups of < 100, which would make git ls-files run
perhaps more than is necessary. May want to revisit this, because that
fix seems fairly low-impact.
Potentially fixes https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/concurrent_git-annex-copy_to_s3_special_remote_fails/
although I don't know if it does.
My thinking is, ResourceT may allocate a resource and then free it,
and a unforced thunk to that resource could result in reading memory
that has since been overwritten by something else, or in a SEGV,
depending. While that seems kind of like a bug in ResourceT to me, if it
is what's happening, this will avoid it. If it's not, this doesn't
really hurt much since the values are all smallish.

Works better with automatic merge conflict resolution than git's ususual
default of "conflict".
This is not done when automatic merge conflict resolution is disabled.

One reason is, 5 is an arbitrary number so ought to be configurable.
The real reason though, is I wanted to make the man page explain when
forward retry can override annex.retry, and having a config made the
man page easier to write.
This is groundwork for external backends, but also makes sense to keep
this information with the rest of a Backend's implementation.
Also, removed isVerifiable. I noticed that the same information is
encoded by whether a Backend implements verifyKeyContent or not.
My worry was that a preferred content expression that matches on metadata
would have removed the location log from cache, causing an expensive
re-read when a Seek action later checked the location log.
Especially when the --all optimisation in the previous commit
pre-cached the location log.
This also means that the --all optimisation could cache the metadata log
too, if it wanted too, but not currently done.
The cache is a list, with the most recently accessed file first. That
optimises it for the common case of reading the same file twice, eg a
get, examine, followed by set reads it twice. And sync --content reads the
location log 3 times in a row commonly.
But, as a list, it should not be made to be too long. I thought about
expanding it to 5 items, but that seemed unlikely to be a win commonly
enough to outweigh the extra time spent checking the cache.
Clearly there could be some further benchmarking and tuning here.
The cache was removed way back in 2012,
commit 3417c55189
Then I forgot I had removed it! I remember clearly multiple times when I
thought, "this reads the same data twice, but the cache will avoid that
being very expensive".
The reason it was removed was it messed up the assistant noticing when
other processes made changes. That same kind of problem has recently
been addressed when adding the optimisation to avoid reading the journal
unnecessarily.
Indeed, enableInteractiveJournalAccess is run in just the
right places, so can just piggyback on it to know when it's not safe
to use the cache.
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
git is making that configurable, and configuring it globally would break
the test suite in a few places.
No other part of git-annex assumes any branch name. Renamed a few
placeholders to make that clearer.

This makes the creds get saved, since only things recorded there will be
saved.
IIRC, unparsedRemoteConfig was not originally available when I
implemented this; now that it is things get a bit simpler.
More could probably be simplified, is externalConfigChanges needed at
all?
This does not entirely fix the bugs though, because creds are only
embedded when embedcreds=yes, but not when encryption=pubkey is used
without embedcreds=yes.
Added annex.skipunknown git config, that can be set to false to change the
behavior of commands like `git annex get foo*`, to not skip over files/dirs
that are not checked into git and are explicitly listed in the command
line.
Significant complexity was needed to handle git-annex add, which uses some
git ls-files calls, but needs to not use --error-unmatch because of course
the files are not known to git.
annex.skipunknown is planned to change to default to false in a
git-annex release in early 2022. There's a todo for that.
move --to, copy --to, mirror --to: When concurrency is enabled, run cleanup
actions in separate job pool from uploads.
transferStages was confusingly named, it's only useful when doing downloads
as then the verify actions can be run concurrently with other downloads.
For commands that upload, there will be more concurrency from running
cleanup actions in a separate job pool.
As for sync, I left it using downloadStages although that's not optimal
for the part of a sync that uploads. Perhaps it should use the union of
both?
Finishes the transition to make remote methods throw exceptions, rather
than silently hide them.
A bit on the fence about this one, because when renameExport fails,
it falls back to deleting instead, and so does the user care why it failed?
However, it did let me clean up several places in the code.

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.
That had almost no benefit at all, and complicated things quite a lot.
What I proably wanted this to be was something like ResourceT, but it
was not. The few remotes that actually need some preparation done only
once and reused used a MVar and not Preparer.
I run haddock with `cabal haddock --executables`. It fails with:
Types/Remote.hs:271:17: error: parse error on input ‘->’
Apparently haddock does not like to find haddock blocks outside of
declarations? In any case, this patch makes these type of errors go
away.
Afterwards, I see errors like these, that need to be investigated as
a next step:
haddock: internal error: internal: extractDecl
CallStack (from HasCallStack):
error, called at utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/Interface/Create.hs:1116:12 in main:Haddock.Interface.Create
* addurl --preserve-filename: New option, uses server-provided filename
without any sanitization, but with some security checking.
Not yet implemented for remotes other than the web.
* addurl, importfeed: Avoid adding filenames with leading '.', instead
it will be replaced with '_'.
This might be considered a security fix, but a CVE seems unwattanted.
It was possible for addurl to create a dotfile, which could change
behavior of some program. It was also possible for a web server to say
the file name was ".git" or "foo/.git". That would not overrwrite the
.git directory, but would cause addurl to fail; of course git won't
add "foo/.git".
sanitizeFilePath is too opinionated to remain in Utility, so moved it.
The changes to mkSafeFilePath are because it used sanitizeFilePath.
In particular:
isDrive will never succeed, because "c:" gets munged to "c_"
".." gets sanitized now
".git" gets sanitized now
It will never be null, because sanitizeFilePath keeps the length
the same, and splitDirectories never returns a null path.
Also, on the off chance a web server suggests a filename of "",
ignore that, rather than trying to save to such a filename, which would
fail in some way.
Avoid running a large number of git cat-file child processes when run with
a large -J value.
This implementation takes care to avoid adding any overhead to git-annex
when run without -J. When run with -J, there is a small bit of added
overhead, to manipulate the resource pool. That optimisation added a
fair bit of complexity.
Eg"core.bare" is the same as "core.bare = true".
Note that git treats "core.bare =" the same as "core.bare = false", so the
code had to become more complicated in order to treat the absense of a
value differently than an empty value. Ugh.
The only price paid is one additional MVar read per write to the journal.
Presumably writing a journal file dominiates over a MVar read time by
several orders of magnitude.
--batch does not get the speedup because then it needs to notice when
another process has made a change. Also made the assistant and other damon
modes bypass the optimisation, which would not help them anyway.
Attoparsec parser for diff-tree.
Changed fromRef back to producing a String, to avoid needing to convert
every use of it. However, this does mean I'm going to miss some
opportunities where fromRef is used and the result converted back to a
ByteString. Would be worth revisiting that at some point maybe.
git-annex config: Only allow configs be set that are ones git-annex
actually supports reading from repo-global config, to avoid confused users
trying to set other configs with this.
