So that binaries in that directory can find the library next to them,
where they get modified to look.
This is a hack; it would be better for OSXMkLibs to build a list of what
libraries are needed where.
Unsure if this is needed due to a recent reversion, or is an older
problem, so updated changelog accordingly.
Putting the binaries in bundle/git-core/bin didn't work on OSX,
linker can't find the libraries next to those binaries where it expects to.
So instead put the binaries in the progDir.
Homebrew now has eg:
datalads-imac:~ joey$ ls -l /Users/joey/homebrew/Cellar/git/2.23.0/libexec/git-core
total 36776
lrwxr-xr-x 1 joey staff 13 Aug 29 13:38 git -> ../../bin/git
lrwxr-xr-x 1 joey staff 13 Aug 29 13:38 git-add -> ../../bin/git
So the target of the symlink also needs to be installed now.
Doing it in shell code was too hairy for my dentistry-addled brain, so
reimplemented in haskell. Also using it for building linuxstandalone.
This allows the rpm to be built anywhere the necessary build deps are
available (including on debian) and the resulting package will work on as
broad a range of rpm distributions as the libc/kernel supports.
The DistributionUpdate changes to use the new script have not yet been
tested.
debian oldoldstable has 2.1, and that's what i386ancient uses. It would be
better to require git 2.2, which is needed to use adjusted branches, but
can't do that w/o losing support for some old linux kernels or a
complicated git backport.
I saw the installer not defaulting to any installation directory,
and I had to manually enter C:\Program Files\Git
Maybe it was choosing gitInstallDir32, and that was empty? Or the
conditional somehow failed. Simplifying so it will hopefully work again.
rsync is only needed for rsync special remotes and git-annex-shell from
Debian oldstable. Since the library situation on windows for rsync required
a particular 32 bit build of git for it to work, and may also somehow need
git-annex to be 32 bit build, it's better to not include it.

Improved probing when CoW copies can be made between files on the same
drive. Now supports CoW between BTRFS subvolumes. And, falls back to rsync
instead of using cp when CoW won't work, eg copies between repos on the
same EXT4 filesystem.
Rather than trying cp --reflink=always for each file copied to a remote,
it's tried once and if it fails it falls back to using rsync thereafter
for the lifetime of the Remote object. That avoids overhead of calling cp
which while small, will add up over a large number of files.

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.)
However, rsync still won't work with 64 bit git and
this is still not the documented way to install it.
So, if both 64 and 32 are installed, go with 32.
And if neither git can be found, default to 32.
Running git-annex linux builds in termux seems to work well enough that the
only reason to keep the Android app would be to support Android 4-5, which
the old Android app supported, and which I don't know if the termux method
works on (although I see no reason why it would not).
According to [1], Android 4-5 remains on around 29% of devices, down from
51% one year ago.

This is a rather large commit, but mostly very straightfoward removal of
android ifdefs and patches and associated cruft.
Also, removed support for building with very old ghc < 8.0.1, and with
yesod < 1.4.3, and without concurrent-output, which were only being used
by the cross build.
Some documentation specific to the Android app (screenshots etc) needs
to be updated still.

* Added arm64 Linux standalone build. (No autobuilder yet.)
* Improved termux installation process.
Added git-annex-install.sh script to avoid user needing to type as much in
termux. The scope of this script is limited; runshell handles the rest.
Runshell runs termux-fix-shebang on the shell scripts. The problem is
the bundled bin/sh script, deleting that script also works, but then the
others probably use the system Android /bin/sh, which could be old or
broken or not posix or whatever. Using termux sh to run the scripts is
better.

In 2013, I wrote "Cryptohash benchmarks 90 to 101% faster than external
hashers". Re-benchmarking today, I found cryptonite's sha256 consistently
outperformed coreutils by 10% for large files. Tested 10 mb, 100 mb, 1 gb
files with both sha256 and sha512. And for smaller files, the external
process startup time swamps the hash time.
Perhaps cryptonite has improved. Or it could just do better on my
current CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU 4410Y @ 1.50GHz). Anyway, even if cryptonite
is slower in some situations, seems likely it would only be marginally slower;
it's got the same class of highly optimised C code under the hood as coreutils.
The main difference between the two sha256 implementations seems to be
how much of the inner loop they unroll..

This way, autobuilders can run it before building, in a tree where
git-annex was already built, and get the current git rev embedded in the
build.
Before, the version number only updated when the setup program was run,
which was up to cabal and not on every build.
This turns out to have been prolimatic because building from a git tag
would make a git-annex that claimed a different version than the tag's
version.
The git rev is still included in the version, and people who want
to know the exact tree that was built can just use that, so there's no
real benefit to automatically advancing the date part of the version.
* For url downloads, git-annex now defaults to using a http library,
rather than wget or curl. But, if annex.web-options is set, it will
use curl. To use the .netrc file, run:
git config annex.web-options --netrc
* git-annex no longer uses wget (and wget is no longer shipped with
git-annex builds).
Note that curl is always run in silent mode, since the new API for
download has a MeterUpdate and doesn't make way for curl progress
output. It might be worth writing a parser for curl's progress output
to update the meter when using it, but I didn't bother with this edge
case for now.

Fourth or fifth try at this and finally found a way to make it work.
Absurd amount of busy-work forced on me by change in cabal's behavior.
Split up Utility modules that need posix stuff out of ones used by
Setup. Various other hacks around inability for Setup to use anything
that ifdefs a use of unix.
Probably lost a full day of my life to this.
This is how build systems make their users hate them. Just saying.
This avoids warnings from stack about the module not being listed in the
cabal file. So, the generated file is also renamed to Build/SysConfig.
Note that the setup program seems to be cached despite these changes; I
had to cabal clean to get cabal to update it so that Build/SysConfig was
written.

They need unix on non-windows, for Utility.Env, which Build.Configure uses,
but cabal can't express that in a custom-setup stanza.
To avoid this problem, Utility.Env would need to be moved into
unix-compat..
wget was broken even in the previous old release of the windows bundle,
this is not new breakage. msys-idn-11.dll and probably more would be needed
to use it. git for windows includes msys-idn2-0.dll instead.
Not tested yet.
The EvilLinker workaround is removed. That got fixed in ghc 8.0.1,
(per https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8596)
which will finally be used by the windows autobuilder now.
I have not deleted the EvilLinker yet (or closed its bugs).

Removed dependency on MissingH, instead depending on the split
library.
After laying groundwork for this since 2015, it
was mostly straightforward. Added Utility.Tuple and
Utility.Split. Eyeballed System.Path.WildMatch while implementing
the same thing.
Since MissingH's progress meter display was being used, I re-implemented
my own. Bonus: Now progress is displayed for transfers of files of
unknown size.

9c4650358c changed the Read instance for
Key.
I've checked all uses of that instance (by removing it and seeing what
breaks), and they're all limited to the webapp, except one.
That is GitAnnexDistribution's Read instance.
So, 9c4650358c would have broken upgrades
of git-annex from downloads.kitenet.net. Once the .info files there got
updated for a new release, old releases would have failed to parse them
and never upgraded.
To fix this, I found a way to make the .info files that contain
GitAnnexDistribution values be readable by the old version of git-annex.

This adds one extra line of output when a download is successful,
after the progress bar. I don't much like that, but wget does not provide a
way to show HTTP errors without it.
This allows using functions that generate CreateProcess and passing the
result to processTranscript', which is more flexible, and also simpler
than the old interface.

Turns out that Data.List.Utils.split is slow and makes a lot of
allocations. Here's a much simpler single character splitter that behaves
the same (even in wacky corner cases) while running in half the time and
75% the allocations.
As well as being an optimisation, this helps move toward eliminating use of
missingh.
(Data.List.Split.splitOn is nearly as slow as Data.List.Utils.split and
allocates even more.)
I have not benchmarked the effect on git-annex, but would not be surprised
to see some parsing of eg, large streams from git commands run twice as
fast, and possibly in less memory.

Almost working, but there's a bug in the relaying.
Also, made tor hidden service setup pick a random port, to make it harder

Currently only done for utf-8 locales because the charset can easily be
told for those. Other locales don't include the charset in their name.
The locale definition is generated under git-annex.linux/locales.
So, this only works if the user can write there.
If locale generation fails for any reason, it's silently skipped.
The git-annex-standalone.deb installs the bundle under /usr, so this locale
generation won't work for non-root users.
Version mismatches between the system locale-archive and the glibc in the
bundle have been observed to cause git crashes.
Unfortunately, this causes locales to not be used in the linux standalone
bundle, as was the case until version 6.20160419.
glibc hardcodes the path to /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive and does not
let an environment variable cause a different locale-archive file to be used.
The only other option to include locales in the bundle would be to include
exploded locale definition directories in the bundle for a number of
locales, generated by localedef. But these take at least 300 kb per locale,
and there are a great many locales; it would be hundreds of megabytes to
include them all.
(Hmm, we could include localdef in the bundle, and check LANG in runshell
and compile the locale directories on the fly. This would need
/usr/share/i18n/ and /usr/lib/locale-archive to be included in the bundle.
It's.. doable.)
I know this is going to once again cause users of the bundle to complain
that eg, ls doesn't show their unicode filenames right. Better than strange
crashes though.
This was originally done in a7ef05a9, but got lost in some change to the
Makefile. Use CROSS_COMPILE=Android to tell configure that it's configuring
for android instead of passing it a parameter.
The code block in git-annex-smudge(1) was misformatted. Code blocks
start with tabs, so replace "\s" with " ". Tested to not affect
anything except git-annex-smudge.1.
This actually runs faster than building the man pages from the makefile
did. But the main purpose is to let Setup.hs import Build.Mans and so not
need the makefile.
The tarball on hackage will include only the files needed for cabal install;
it is NOT the full git-annex source tree. While it's totally obnoxious that
cabal files need every file listed out when basic wildcard support could
avoid hundreds of lines, and have to be maintained when files are added,
this does get the tarball size back down to 1 mb.
This also stops stack from complaining that it found modules not listed in
the cabal file.
debian/changelog, debian/NEWS, debian/copyright: Converted to symlinks
to CHANGELOG, NEWS, and COPYRIGHT, which used to symlink to these instead.
This avoids needing to include debian/ in the hackage tarball.
Setup.hs: Build man pages at install time using make and mdwn2man.
If it fails, which it probably will on windows, just skip installing
them.
It started exporting a isSymbolicLink which supports windows. But,
git-annex does no use symlinks on windows yet and this conflicts with the
function by the same name from unix-compat, so hide it.
Had to workaround various problems in clamscan. Increased its max filesize
a lot, because it's too small to check git-annex. Manual unpacking seemed
to be needed for dmg and tar.gz.
