Not yet tested and places git-annex-shell is run need to be modified to
pass the new field settings.
Note that rsyncServerSend was changed to fork, rather than directly exec
rsync, because it needs to keep the transfer lock held, and clean up the
transfer log when done.
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!
Note this is per-remote, so trying to get the same file from multiple
remotes can still let duplicate downloads run. (And uploading the same file
to multiple remotes is not duplicate at all of course.)
get, move, and copy are the only git-annex subcommands that transfer
files, but there's still git-annex-shell recvkey and sendkey to deal with too.
I considered modifying retrieveKeyFile or getViaTmp, but they are called
by other code that does not involve expensive file transfers (migrate)
or that does file transfers that should not be checked by this (fsck --from).
The reason the DirWatcher had to wait for program termination was because
it used withINotify, so when it finished, its watcher threads were killed.
But since I have two DirWatcher threads now, that was not good, and could
perhaps explain the MVar problem I saw yesterday. In any case, fixed this
part of the code by making the DirWatcher return a handle that can be used
to stop it, and now the main Assistant thread is the only one calling
waitForTermination.
Avoid MVar deadlock issue, which I don't understand.
Have not taken the time to debug it fully, because it turns out I don't
need to resolve merge conflicts when a new branch ref is written... I
think.
Ensure the git-annex branch is merged when doing a manual pull.
Otherwise it can get out of sync, since git-annex normally only merges it
once per run.
