In order to record a semi-useful filename associated with the key,
this required plumbing the filename all the way through to the remotes'
storeKey and retrieveKeyFile.
Note that there is potential for deadlock here, narrowly avoided.
Suppose the repos are A and B. A sends file foo to B, and at the same
time, B gets file foo from A. So, A locks its upload transfer info file,
and then locks B's download transfer info file. At the same time,
B is taking the two locks in the opposite order. This is only not a
deadlock because the lock code does not wait, and aborts. So one of A or
B's transfers will be aborted and the other transfer will continue.
Whew!
Baked into the code was an assumption that a repository's git directory
could be determined by adding ".git" to its work tree (or nothing for bare
repos). That fails when core.worktree, or GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are
used to separate the two.
This was attacked at the type level, by storing the gitdir and worktree
separately, so Nothing for the worktree means a bare repo.
A complication arose because we don't learn where a repository is bare
until its configuration is read. So another Location type handles
repositories that have not had their config read yet. I am not entirely
happy with this being a Location type, rather than representing them
entirely separate from the Git type. The new code is not worse than the
old, but better types could enforce more safety.
Added support for core.worktree. Overriding it with -c isn't supported
because it's not really clear what to do if a git repo's config is read, is
not bare, and is then overridden to bare. What is the right git directory
in this case? I will worry about this if/when someone has a use case for
overriding core.worktree with -c. (See Git.Config.updateLocation)
Also removed and renamed some functions like gitDir and workTree that
misused git's terminology.
One minor regression is known: git annex add in a bare repository does not
print a nice error message, but runs git ls-files in a way that fails
earlier with a less nice error message. This is because before --work-tree
was always passed to git commands, even in a bare repo, while now it's not.
Continue using the key name as bup ref name, to preserve backwards
compatability, unless it is an illegal git ref. In that case, use a sha256
of the key name instead.
getConfig got a remote-specific config, and this confusing name caused it
to be used a couple of places that only were interested in global configs.
Rename to getRemoteConfig and make getConfig only get global configs.
There are no behavior changes here, but remote.<name>.annex-web-options
never actually worked (and per-remote web options is a very unlikely to be
useful case so I didn't make it work), so fix the documentation for it.
This reverts commit 6da40100c9.
On closer examinaton, this change is wrong. The bup special remote
can be configured with "buprepo=", which makes it use the default
~/.bup repo. This change makes it use a different temp dir each time,
which I'm sure would not be appreciated by anyone with that
configuration.
Bup insisting in creating ~/.bup even when using a different repo
does seem like a bug in *something*, but I'm leaning toward the bug
being in bup itself.
This drops the >>! and >>? with the nice low fixity. IfElse does have
undocumented >>=>>! and >>=>>? operators, but I deem that too fishy.
Anyway, using whenM and unlessM is easier; I sometimes mixed the operators
up.
Supporting multiple directory hash types will allow converting to a
different one, without a flag day.
gitAnnexLocation now checks which of the possible locations have a file.
This means more statting of files. Several places currently use
gitAnnexLocation and immediately check if the returned file exists;
those need to be optimised.
git-annex-shell inannex now returns always 0, 1, or 100 (the last when
it's unclear if content is currently in the index due to it currently being
moved or dropped).
(Actual locking code still not yet written.)
Many functions took the repo as their first parameter. Changing it
consistently to be the last parameter allows doing some useful things with
currying, that reduce boilerplate.
In particular, g <- gitRepo is almost never needed now, instead
use inRepo to run an IO action in the repo, and fromRepo to get
a value from the repo.
This also provides more opportunities to use monadic and applicative
combinators.
Avoid ever using read to parse a non-haskell formatted input string.
show :: Key is arguably still show abuse, but displaying Keys as filenames
is just too useful to give up.
Only one place need to filter the list of remotes for ignored remotes:
keyPossibilities. Make the full list available to everything else.
This allows getting rid of the special case handing for --from and --to
to make ignored remotes not be ignored with those options.
These are defined in ifelse, but it's not currently available and I don't
want to pull in a library for 6 lines of code anyhow.
Also, ifelse sets the fixity to 1, which does not allow >>? error $ ...
This was a most surprising leak. It occurred in the process that is forked
off to feed data to gpg. That process was passed a lazy ByteString of
input, and ghc seemed to not GC the ByteString as it was lazily read
and consumed, so memory slowly leaked as the file was read and passed
through gpg to bup.
To fix it, I simply changed the feeder to take an IO action that returns
the lazy bytestring, and fed the result directly to hPut.
AFAICS, this should change nothing WRT buffering. But somehow it makes
ghc's GC do the right thing. Probably I triggered some weakness in ghc's
GC (version 6.12.1).
(Note that S3 still has this leak, and others too. Fixing it will involve
another dance with the type system.)
Update: One theory I have is that this has something to do with
the forking of the feeder process. Perhaps, when the ByteString
is produced before the fork, ghc decides it need to hold a pointer
to the start of it, for some reason -- maybe it doesn't realize that
it is only used in the forked process.
Forking a new process rather than relying on a thread to feed gpg.
The feeder thread was stalling, probably when the main thread got
to the point it was wait()ing on the gpg to exit.
