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.
Rather than wait a full second, which may be longer than needed, or too
short to get all the rename events, we start a mode where we wait 1/10th of
a second, and if there are Changes received, wait again. Basically we're
back in batch mode when this happens.
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.
I saw this happen in real life, when syncing to a newly added usb drive.
I think it got scanned twice, and files were doubled in the queue.
This could be optimised a little bit more, to only read from the mvar
once, rather than twice.
This is not perfect, because on loss of connection, we do not currently
immediately detect it and stop the client. It has to time out, and then
the buddy list will clear.
The NetWatcher should detect disconnects too..
I have a theory that some google xmpp servers don't send prsense for xa
clients, while others do. Seeing some weird lack of presence messages
sometimes there.
Noticed that, At startup or network reconnect, git push messages were sent,
often before presence info has been gathered, so were not sent to any
buddies.
To fix this, keep track of which buddies have seen such messages,
and when new presence is received from a buddy that has not yet seen it,
resend.
This is done only for push initiation messages, so very little data needs
to be stored.
This fixes the issue mentioned in the last commit.
Turns out just collecting UUID of clients behind a XMPP remote is
insufficient (although I should probably still do it for other reasons),
because a single remote repo might be connected via both XMPP and local
pairing. So a way is needed to know when a push was received from any
client using a given XMPP remote over XMPP, as opposed to via ssh.
Make manualPull send push requests over XMPP.
When reconnecting with remotes, those that are XMPP remotes cannot
immediately be pulled from and scanned, so instead maintain a set of
(probably) desynced remotes, and put XMPP remotes on it. (This set could be
used in other ways later, if we can detect we're out of sync with other
types of remotes.)
The merger handles detecting when a XMPP push is received from a desynced
remote, and triggers a scan then, if they have in fact diverged.
This has one known bug: A single XMPP remote can have multiple clients
behind it. When this happens, only the UUID of one client is recorded
as the UUID of the XMPP remote. Pushes from the other XMPP clients will not
trigger a scan. If the client whose UUID is expected responds to the push
request, it'll work, but when that client is offline, we're SOL.
Clean up from 9769235d6b.
In some cases, looking up a remote by name even though it has no UUID is
desirable. This includes git annex sync, which can operate on remotes
without an annex, and XMPP pairing, which runs addRemote (with calls
byName) before the UUID of the XMPP remote has been configured in git.
Watcher wants to rewrite symlink to fix it. But in direct mode, the symlink
could be replaced at any time with file content that has finished being
transferred by some other process. So, just don't touch it.
FWIW, I audited the rest of the assistant for places where it removes
files, and the rest is ok. I have not audited the rest of git-annex.
assistant: Fix bug in direct mode that could occur when a symlink is moved
out of an archive directory, and resulted in the file not being set to
direct mode when it was transferred.
The bug was that the direct mode mapping was not up-to-date when the
transferrer finished. So, finding no direct mode place to store the object,
it was put into .git/annex in indirect mode.
To fix this, just make the watcher update the direct mode mapping to
include the new file before it starts the transfer. (Seems we don't need to
update it to remove the old file if the link was moved, because the direct
mode code will notice it's not present and the mapping gets updated for its
removal later.)
The reason this was a race, and was probably not seen often is because
the committer came along and updated the direct mode mapping as part of
adding the moved symlink. But when the file was sufficiently small or
the remote sufficiently fast, this could happen after the transfer
finished.
Looking through the git sources (documentation is unclear),
it seems commit doesn't ever trigger git-gc, mostly fetching and merging
seems to. I cannot easily override the setting in all those places, so
instead set gc.auto in git config when initializing a repository with
the assistant.
This does mean that the user cannot set gc.auto=0 and completely avoid
repacks, as the assistant does it daily. But, it only does it after there
are 100x the default number of loose objects, so this is probably not going
to be too annoying.
Pass subcommand as a regular param, which allows passing git parameters
like -c before it. This was already done in the pipeing set of functions,
but not the command running set.
A transfer is queued, but if the file has already been transferred to the
remote before, the transfer is skipped. In this case, it needs to perform
any actions it would normally take after finishing the transfer, like
dropping the local object.
This cannot completely guard against a runaway log event, and only runs
every hour anyway, but it should avoid most problems with very
long-running, active assistants using up too much space.
The transfer queue can grow larger than 10 when queueing transfers for
files that were just received, as well as requeueing failed transfers.
I probably need to do some work to prevent that, as it could use a lot of
RAM. But for now, cap the number of displayed transfers in the webapp, to
avoid flooding the browser.
The only thing lost is ./ghci

git annex init probes for crippled filesystems, and sets direct mode, as
well as `annex.crippledfilesystem`.
Avoid manipulating permissions of files on crippled filesystems.
That would likely cause an exception to be thrown.
Very basic support in Command.Add for cripped filesystems; avoids the lock
down entirely since doing it needs both permissions and hard links.
Will make this better soon.
This is so gratutious and pointless. It's a shame that everything we
learned about Unix portability and the importance of standards has been
thrown out the window by these guys.
Various things that don't work on Android are just ifdefed out.
* the webapp (needs template haskell for arm)
* --include and --exclude globbing (needs libpcre, which is not ported;
probably I'll make it use the pure haskell glob library instead)
* annex.diskreserve checking (missing sys/statvfs.h)
* timestamp preservation support (yawn)
* S3
* WebDAV
* XMPP
The resulting 17mb binary has been tested on Android, and it is able to,
at least, print its usage message.
Making the pre-commit hook look at git diff-index to find changed direct
mode files and update the mappings works pretty well.
One case where it does not work is when a file is git annex added, and then
git rmed, and then this is committed. That's a no-op commit, so the hook
probably doesn't even run, and it certianly never notices that the file
was deleted, so the mapping will still have the original filename in it.
For this and other reasons, it's important that the mappings still be
treated as possibly inconsistent.
Also, the assistant now allows the pre-commit hook to run when in direct
mode, so the mappings also get updated there.
New setting, can be used to disable autocommit of changed files by the
assistant, while it still does data syncing and other tasks.
Also wired into webapp UI
It used to not log to daemon.log when a repository was first created, and
when starting the webapp. Now both do. Redirecting stdout and stderr to the
log is tricky when starting the webapp, because the web browser may want to
communicate with the user. (Either a console web browser, or web.browser = echo)
This is handled by restoring the original fds when running the browser.
since some systems may have configuration problems or other issues that
prevent web browsers from connecting to the right localhost IP for the
webapp.
Tested on both ipv4 and ipv6 localhost. Url for the latter looks like:
http://[::1]:50676
The expensive scan uses lookupFile, but in direct mode, that doesn't work
for files that are present. So the scan was not finding things that are
present that need to be uploaded. (It did find things not present that
needed to be downloaded.)
Now lookupFile also works in direct mode. Note that it still prefers
symlinks on disk to info committed to git, in direct mode. This is
necessary to make things like Assistant.Threads.Watcher.onAddSymlink
work correctly, when given a new symlink not yet checked into git (or
replacing a file checked into git).
This way, once it switches to the new repo, the user can switch back to the
old one, and its menu will allow switching to the new again.
However, if there are multiple repos, the others don't yet learn about the
new repo.
Would like to also have restart UI, but that's rather harder to do,
seems it'd need to start another copy of the webapp, and redirect the
browser to its new url, but running two assistants in the same repo at
the same time isn't good.
Now there's a Config type, that's extracted from the git config at startup.
Note that laziness means that individual config values are only looked up
and parsed on demand, and so we get implicit memoization for all of them.
So this is not only prettier and more type safe, it optimises several
places that didn't have explicit memoization before. As well as getting rid
of the ugly explicit memoization code.
Not yet done for annex.<remote>.* configuration settings.
