Security fix! Allowing any schemes, particularly file: and
possibly others like scp: allowed file exfiltration by anyone who had
write access to the git repository, since they could add an annexed file
using such an url, or using an url that redirected to such an url,
and wait for the victim to get it into their repository and send them a copy.
* Added annex.security.allowed-url-schemes setting, which defaults
to only allowing http and https URLs. Note especially that file:/
is no longer enabled by default.
* Removed annex.web-download-command, since its interface does not allow
supporting annex.security.allowed-url-schemes across redirects.
If you used this setting, you may want to instead use annex.web-options
to pass options to curl.
With annex.web-download-command removed, nearly all url accesses in
git-annex are made via Utility.Url via http-client or curl. http-client
only supports http and https, so no problem there.
(Disabling one and not the other is not implemented.)
Used curl --proto to limit the allowed url schemes.
Note that this will cause git annex fsck --from web to mark files using
a disallowed url scheme as not being present in the web. That seems
acceptable; fsck --from web also does that when a web server is not available.
youtube-dl already disabled file: itself (probably for similar
reasons). The scheme check was also added to youtube-dl urls for
completeness, although that check won't catch any redirects it might
follow. But youtube-dl goes off and does its own thing with other
protocols anyway, so that's fine.
Special remotes that support other domain-specific url schemes are not
affected by this change. In the bittorrent remote, aria2c can still
download magnet: links. The download of the .torrent file is
otherwise now limited by annex.security.allowed-url-schemes.
This does not address any external special remotes that might download
an url themselves. Current thinking is all external special remotes will
need to be audited for this problem, although many of them will use
http libraries that only support http and not curl's menagarie.
The related problem of accessing private localhost and LAN urls is not
addressed by this commit.

In keyUrls, the GitConfig is used only by annexLocations
to support configured Differences. Since such configurations affect all
clones of a repository, the local repo's GitConfig must have the same
information as the remote's GitConfig would have. So, used getGitConfig
to get the local GitConfig, which is cached and so available cheaply.
That actually fixed a bug noone had ever noticed: keyUrls is
used for remotes accessed over http. The full git config of such a
remote is normally not available, so the remoteGitConfig that keyUrls
used would not have the necessary information in it.
In copyFromRemoteCheap', it uses gitAnnexLocation,
which does need the GitConfig of the remote repo itself in order to
check if it's crippled, supports symlinks, etc. So, made the
State include that GitConfig, cached. The use of gitAnnexLocation is
within a (not $ Git.repoIsUrl repo) guard, so it's local, and so
its git config will always be read and available.
(Note that gitAnnexLocation in turn calls annexLocations, so the
Differences config it uses in this case comes from the remote repo's
GitConfig and not from the local repo's GitConfig. As explained above
this is ok since they must have the same value.)
Not very happy with this mess of different GitConfigs not type-safe and
some read only sometimes etc. Very hairy. Think I got it this change
right. Test suite passes..

Unfortunately one more use remains..
This should be just as fast as the other method. The remote's Git.Repo
has already had its config read, so Annex.new's call to Git.Config.read
is a noop.

Fixed annex-checkuuid implementation, so that remotes configured that way
can be used. This was 100% broken from the first commit of it, oops.

Makes it allow writes, but not deletion of annexed content. Note that
securing pushes to the git repository is left up to the user.

The old git-annex Android app is now deprecated in favor of running
git-annex in termux. I suspect all or nearly all of these no longer apply.

Fix regression in last release that crashes when using --all or running
git-annex in a bare repository. May have also affected git-annex unused and
git-annex info.
Reversed the order of the (++) in Annex.Branch.files so --all will stream
lazily still when there are not a bunch of uncommitted journal files.
Added a todo to maybe improve this later.

Added some tweaks to make git-annex work in termux on Android. The regular
arm standalone tarball now works in termux.
I guess the test for "$base/bin/git" is not really necessary, since it
tests for git-annex. Since that gets deleted on android, removed that test.
These are pretty hackish hacks, especially adding it to PATH. The goal is
to make it work well enough out of the box on Android.

* 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.

Remote.S3 and Remote.Helper.Http both had similar code to sink a
http-conduit Response to a file; refactor out sinkResponseFile.
downloadC downloads an url to a file using http-conduit, and supports
resuming. Falls back to curl to handle urls that http-conduit does not
support. This is not used yet, but the goal is to replace download with
it.
git-annex.cabal: conduit-extra was not actually used for a long time,
remove the dep. conduit moves into the main dependency list, but since
http-conduit was already in there, and it depends on conduit, that's not
really adding a new build dep.

Enable HTTP connection reuse across multiple files, when git-annex
uses http-conduit. Before, a new Manager was created each time
Utility.Url used it. Now, a single Manager gets created the first time,
so connections are reused.
Doesn't help when external programs are used for url download,
but does speed up addurl --fast, fsck --from web, etc.
Testing fsck --fast --from web with 3 files, over high-latency
satellite internet, it sped up from 19.37s to 14.96s.

git annex testremote passes.
exportree not implemented yet, although the documentation talks about it,
since it will be the main way this remote will be used.
The adb push/pull progress is displayed for now; it would be better
to consume it and use it to update the git-annex progress bar.
