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.
There was confusion in different parts of the progress bar code about
whether an update contained the total number of bytes transferred, or the
number of bytes transferred since the last update. One way this bug
showed up was progress bars that seemed to stick at zero for a long time.
In order to fix it comprehensively, I add a new BytesProcessed data type,
that is explicitly a total quantity of bytes, not a delta.
Note that this doesn't necessarily fix every problem with progress bars.
Particularly, buffering can now cause progress bars to seem to run ahead
of transfers, reaching 100% when data is still being uploaded.
When a page is loaded, the javascript requests an notification url, and
does long polling on the url to be informed of changes. But if a change
occured before the notification url was requested, it would not be notified
of that change, and so the page display would not update.
I fixed this by *always* updating the page display after it gets
the notification url. This is extra work, but the overhead is not noticable
in the other overhead of loading a page.
(A nicer way would be to somehow record the version of a page initially
loaded, and then compare it with the current version when getting the
notification url, and only force an update if it's changed. But getting
the "version" of the different parts of the page that use long polling
is difficult.)
Move all the binaries and libraries under a bundle/ subdirectory;
so when it's in PATH only git-annex, runshell, and git-annex-webapp
will be available.
A long time ago I made Remote be an instance of the Ord typeclass, with an
implementation that compared the costs of Remotes. That seemed like a good
idea at the time, as it saved typing.. But at the time I was still making
custom Read and Show instances too. I've since learned that this is *not* a
good idea, and neither is making custom Ord instances, without deep thought
about the possible sets of values in a type. Haskell typeclasses are not a
toy.
This Ord instance came around and bit me when I put Remotes into a Set,
because now remotes with the same cost appeared to be in the Set even if
they were not. Also affected putting Remotes into a Map.
Rarely does a bug go this deep. I've fixed it comprehensively, first
removing the Ord instance entirely, and fixing the places that wanted to
order remotes by cost to do it explicitly. Then adding back an Ord instance
that is much more sane. Also by checking the rest of the Ord instances in
the code base (which were all ok).
While doing that, I found lots of places that kept remotes in Maps and
Sets. All of it was probably subtly broken in one way or another before
this fix, but it would be hard to say exactly how the bugs would
manifest.
This may work around google talk's horrible presence handling, in which
clients often don't learn about other clients, at least when using the same
account. This way, every time we start a git push over xmpp, we'll waste
bandwidth asking clients to please try again to identify themselves.
Just before starting a transfer, do one last check that it's still
preferred content.
I was just doing this for uploads, as part of the smarter flood filling
bug, but realized it's also possible for a download that was preferred
content to change to not be before the download begins, so check that too.
* addurl: Escape invalid characters in urls, rather than failing to
use an invalid url.
* addurl: Properly handle url-escaped characters in file:// urls.
The comments correctly noted that the remote could drop the key and
yet False be returned due to some problem that occurred afterwards.
For example, if it's a network remote, it could drop the key just
as the network goes down, and so things timeout and a nonzero exit
from ssh is propigated through and False returned.
However... Most of the time, this scenario will not have happened.
False will mean the remote was not available or could not drop the key
at all.
So, instead of assuming the worst, just trust the status we have.
If we get it wrong, and the scenario above happened, our location
log will think the remote has the key. But the remote's location
log (assuming it has one) will know it dropped it, and the next sync
will regain consistency.
For a special remote, with no location log, our location log will be wrong,
but this is no different than the situation where someone else dropped
the key from the remote and we've not synced with them. The standard
paranoia about not trusting the location log to be the last word about
whether a remote has a key will save us from these situations. Ie,
if we try to drop the file, we'll actively check the remote,
and determine the inconsistency then.
This cleaned up the code quite a bit; now the committer just looks at the
Change to see if it's a change that needs to have a transfer queued for it.
If I later want to add dropping keys for files that were removed, or
something like that, this should make it straightforward.
This also fixes a bug. In direct mode, moving a file out of an archive
directory failed to start a transfer to get its content. The problem
was that the file had not been committed to git yet, and so the transfer
code didn't want to touch it, since fileKey failed to get its key.
Only starting transfers after a commit avoids this problem.
