git-annex find is now RawFilePath end to end, no string conversions.
So is git-annex get when it does not need to get anything.
So this is a major milestone on optimisation.
Benchmarks indicate around 30% speedup in both commands.
Probably many other performance improvements. All or nearly all places
where a file is statted use RawFilePath now.
Adds a dependency on filepath-bytestring, an as yet unreleased fork of
filepath that operates on RawFilePath.
Git.Repo also changed to use RawFilePath for the path to the repo.
This does eliminate some RawFilePath -> FilePath -> RawFilePath
conversions. And filepath-bytestring's </> is probably faster.
But I don't expect a major performance improvement from this.
This is mostly groundwork for making Annex.Location use RawFilePath,
which will allow for a conversion-free pipleline.
Finally builds (oh the agoncy of making it build), but still very
unmergable, only Command.Find is included and lots of stuff is badly
hacked to make it compile.
Benchmarking vs master, this git-annex find is significantly faster!
Specifically:
num files old new speedup
48500 4.77 3.73 28%
12500 1.36 1.02 66%
20 0.075 0.074 0% (so startup time is unchanged)
That's without really finishing the optimization. Things still to do:
* Eliminate all the fromRawFilePath, toRawFilePath, encodeBS,
decodeBS conversions.
* Use versions of IO actions like getFileStatus that take a RawFilePath.
* Eliminate some Data.ByteString.Lazy.toStrict, which is a slow copy.
* Use ByteString for parsing git config to speed up startup.
It's likely several of those will speed up git-annex find further.
And other commands will certianly benefit even more.
forget --drop-dead: Remove several classes of git-annex log files when they
become empty, further reducing the size of the git-annex branch.
Noticed while testing sameas uuid removal, but it could happen other times
too.
An empty log file is always treated by git-annex the same as no file
being present, and when the files are per-key, it can be a sizable space
saving to exclude them from the tree.
It would have been a lot less round-about to just make git annex dead
also add the uuids of sameas remotes to the trust.log as dead.
But, that would fail in the case where there's an unmerged other clone
that has a sameas remote that the current repo does not know about.
Then it would not get marked as dead.
Handling it at transition time avoids that scenario.
Note that the generation of trustmap' in dropDead should only
happen once, due to the partial application.
This is only done for correctness sake; I don't see any way that it
would have caused a problem here. The jlog file escaped withOtherTmp
so another process could swoop in and delete it, but the file is only
used as a buffer for a list of filenames, and its handle gets rewound
and they're read back out, which will still work even if it's already
been deleted.
The only reason I didn't just pre-delete the file and keep the handle
open is I'm not sure that works on all OS's (eg Windows). If there was
a problem that this fixed it might involve an OS that doesn't support
deleting an open file or something like that.
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.)
Added graftTree but it's buggy.
Should use graftTree in Annex.Branch.graftTreeish; it will be faster
than the current implementation there.
Started Annex.Import, but untested and it doesn't yet handle tree
grafting.
* Switch to using .git/annex/othertmp for tmp files other than partial
downloads, and make stale files left in that directory when git-annex
is interrupted be cleaned up promptly by subsequent git-annex processes.
* The .git/annex/misctmp directory is no longer used and git-annex will
delete anything lingering in there after it's 1 week old.
Also, in Annex.Ingest, made the filename it uses in the tmp dir be
prefixed with "ingest-" to avoid potentially using a filename used by
some other code.
Not likely to be any speed gain here, but this completes porting every
log file over.
And, it let me get rid of code copied from ghc and modified, so
simplifying the licensing.
This preserves the workaround for the old bug that caused NoUUID items
to be stored in the log, prefixing log lines with " ". It's now handled
implicitly, by using takeWhile1 (/= ' ') to get the uuid.
There is a behavior change from the old parser, which split the value
into words and then recombined it. That meant that "foo bar" and "foo\tbar"
came out as "foo bar". That behavior was not documented, and seems
surprising; it meant that after a git-annex describe here "foo bar",
you wouldn't get that same string back out when git-annex displayed repo
descriptions.
Otoh, some other parsers relied on the old behavior, and the attoparsec
rewrites had to deal with the issue themselves...
For group.log, there are some edge cases around the user providing a
group name with a leading or trailing space. The old parser would ignore
such excess whitespace. The new parser does too, because the alternative
is to refuse to parse something like " group1 group2 " due to excess
whitespace, which would be even more confusing behavior.
The only git-annex branch log file that is not converted to attoparsec
and bytestring-builder now is transitions.log.
Most of the individual logs are not converted yet, only presense logs
have an efficient ByteString Builder implemented so far. The rest
convert to and from String.
Added getStaged, to get the versions of git-annex branch files staged in its
index, and use during transitions so the result of merging sibling branches
is used.
The catFileStop in performTransitionsLocked is absolutely necessary,
without that the bug still occurred, because git cat-file was already
running and was looking at the old index file.
Note that getLocal still has cat-file look at the git-annex branch, not the
index. It might be faster if it looked at the index, but probably only
marginally so, and I've not benchmarked it to see if it's faster at all. I
didn't want to change unrelated behavior as part of this bug fix. And as
the need for catFileStop shows, using the index file has added
complications.
Anyway, it still seems fine for getLocal to look at the git-annex branch,
because normally the index file is updated just before the git-annex branch
is committed, and so they'll contain the same information. It's only during
a transition that the two diverge.

Added annex.commitmessage config that can specify a commit message for the
git-annex branch instead of the usual "update".

This was badly named, it's a not a blob necessarily, but anything that a
tree can refer to.
Also removed the Show instance which was used for serialization to git
format, instead use fmtTreeItemType.

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.

In Annex.Branch.branch, the (++) was killing laziness.
Rewrote so it streams lazily.
filterM also kills laziness, so made loggedKeys use a Unchecked type,
and check if the key is dead in the seek loop.
Note that loggedKeysFor still buffers, so git-annex info <remote> and
git-annex unused --from remote still use more memory than necessary.
Also removed some unused functions from Annex.Journal.
Added annex.merge-annex-branches config setting which can be used to
disable automatic merge of git-annex branches.
I wonder if git-annex merge/sync/assistant should disable this
setting? Not sure yet, so have not done so. May be that users will not set
it in git config, but pass it via -c to commands that need it.
Checking the config setting adds a very small overhead, but it's
only checked once per command so should be insignificant.

Repositories that are upgraded from before that version to this
one will not break, but will just not see the benefit of the mergedrefs log
speeding things up, until one new ref gets merged in.
And for tab completion, by not unnessessarily statting paths to remotes,
which used to cause eg, spin-up of removable drives.
Got rid of the remotes member of Git.Repo. This was a bit painful.
Remote.Git modifies the list of remotes as it reads their configs,
so still need a persistent list of remotes. So, put it in as
Annex.gitremotes. It's only populated by getGitRemotes, so commands
like examinekey that don't care about remotes won't do so.

Fix more places where files in .git/annex/ were written with modes that
did not take the core.sharedRepository config into account.

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.
Needs ghc 7.6.1, so minimum base version increased slightly. All builds
are well above this version of ghc, and debian oldstable is as well.
Code that could use lambdacase can be found by running:
git grep -B 1 'case ' | less
and searching in less for "<-"

It was not getting old lines removed, because the tree graft confused
the updater, so it union merged from the previous git-annex branch,
which still contained the old lines. Fixed by carefully using setIndexSha.
This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
So it will be available later and elsewhere, even after GC.
I first though to use git update-index to do this, but feeding it a line
with a tree object seems to always cause it to generate a git subtree
merge. So, fell back to using the Git.Tree interface to maniupulate the
trees, and not involving the git-annex branch index file at all.

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.

Any config names can be set using this; git-annex commands will only look
at specific ones that make sense and are worth the overhead of querying the
branch.
This might also be useful for storing whatever other config-type stuff the
user might want to shove into the git-annex branch.

ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

This affected git annex view. It turns out that some other places
that use GIT_INDEX_FILE were already working around the bug. I removed the
workaround from Annex.Branch since the new workaround will do.
This does mean that it has to write out temp files containing updated
objects for the merge. So may use more disk space, and disk IO, but that
should generally win out over needing to launch N separate
git hash-object processes.
Implemented with no additional overhead of compares etc.
This is safe to do for presence logs because of their locality of change;
a given repo's presence logs are only ever changed in that repo, or in a
repo that has just been actively changing the content of that repo.
So, we don't need to worry about a split-brain situation where there'd
be disagreement about the location of a key in a repo. And so, it's ok to
not update the timestamp when that's the only change that would be made
due to logging presence info.
This removes a bit of complexity, and should make things faster
(avoids tokenizing Params string), and probably involve less garbage
collection.
In a few places, it was useful to use Params to avoid needing a list,
but that is easily avoided.
Problems noticed while doing this conversion:
* Some uses of Params "oneword" which was entirely unnecessary
overhead.
* A few places that built up a list of parameters with ++
and then used Params to split it!
Test suite passes.
