* sync --content: Honor annex-ignore configuration.
* sync: Don't try to sync with xmpp remotes, which are only currently
supported when using the assistant.
Several places assumed this would not happen, and when the AssociatedFile
was Nothing, did nothing.
As part of this, preferred content checks pass the Key around.
Note that checkMatcher is sometimes now called with Just Key and Just File.
It currently constructs a FileMatcher, ignoring the Key. However, if it
constructed a FileKeyMatcher, which contained both, then it might be
possible to speed up parts of Limit, which currently call the somewhat
expensive lookupFileKey to get the Key.
I have not made this optimisation yet, because I am not sure if the key is
always the same. Will need some significant checking to satisfy myself
that's the case..
I've been disliking how the command seek actions were written for some
time, with their inversion of control and ugly workarounds.
The last straw to fix it was sync --content, which didn't fit the
Annex [CommandStart] interface well at all. I have not yet made it take
advantage of the changed interface though.
The crucial change, and probably why I didn't do it this way from the
beginning, is to make each CommandStart action be run with exceptions
caught, and if it fails, increment a failure counter in annex state.
So I finally remove the very first code I wrote for git-annex, which
was before I had exception handling in the Annex monad, and so ran outside
that monad, passing state explicitly as it ran each CommandStart action.
This was a real slog from 1 to 5 am.
Test suite passes.
Memory usage is lower than before, sometimes by a couple of megabytes, and
remains constant, even when running in a large repo, and even when
repeatedly failing and incrementing the error counter. So no accidental
laziness space leaks.
Wall clock speed is identical, even in large repos.

Similar to the assistant, this honors any configured preferred content
expressions.
I am not entirely happpy with the implementation. It would be nicer if
the seek function returned a list of actions which included the individual
file gets and copies and drops, rather than the current list of calls to
syncContent. This would allow getting rid of the somewhat reundant display
of "sync file [ok|failed]" after the get/put display.
But, do that, withFilesInGit would need to somehow be able to construct
such a mixed action list. And it would be less efficient than the current
implementation, which is able to reuse several values between eg get and
drop.
Note that currently this does not try to satisfy numcopies when
getting/putting files (numcopies are of course checked when dropping
files!) This makes it like the assistant, and unlike get --auto
and copy --auto, which do duplicate files when numcopies is not yet
satisfied. I don't know if this is the right decision; it only seemed to
make sense to have this parallel the assistant as far as possible to start
with, since I know the assistant works.

The assistant's commit code also always avoids git commit, for simplicity.
Indirect mode sync still does a git commit -a to catch unstaged changes.
Note that this means that direct mode sync no longer runs the pre-commit
hook or any other hooks git commit might call. The git annex pre-commit
hook action for direct mode is however explicitly run. (The assistant
already ran git commit with hooks disabled, so no change there.)
Now that direct mode sets core.bare=true, git's normal prohibition about
pushing into the currently checked out branch doesn't work.
A simple fix for this would be an update hook which blocks the pushes..
but git hooks must be executable, and git-annex needs to be usable on eg,
FAT, which lacks x bits.
Instead, enabling direct mode switches the branch (eg master) to a special
purpose branch (eg annex/direct/master). This branch is not pushed when
syncing; instead any changes that git annex sync commits get written to
master, and it's pushed (along with synced/master) to the remote.
Note that initialization has been changed to always call setDirect,
even if it's just setDirect False for indirect mode. This is needed because
if the user has just cloned a direct mode repo, that nothing has synced
with before, it may have no master branch, and only a annex/direct/master.
Resulting in that branch being checked out locally too. Calling setDirect False
for indirect mode moves back out of this branch, to a new master branch,
and ensures that a manual "git push" doesn't push changes directly to
the annex/direct/master of the remote. (It's possible that the user
makes a commit w/o using git-annex and pushes it, but nothing I can do
about that really.)
This commit was sponsored by Jonathan Harrington.
Note that this case is only fully automatically resolved in direct mode.
In indirect mode, git merge moves the file to file~HEAD, and replaces it
with the directory, and leaves the file in unmerged state, and sync doesn't
yet change that.
Done using a mode witness, which ensures it's fixed everywhere.
Fixing catFileKey was a bear, because git cat-file does not provide a
nice way to query for the mode of a file and there is no other efficient
way to do it. Oh, for libgit2..
Note that I am looking at tree objects from HEAD, rather than the index.
Because I cat-file cannot show a tree object for the index.
So this fix is technically incomplete. The only cases where it matters
are:
1. A new large file has been directly staged in git, but not committed.
2. A file that was committed to HEAD as a symlink has been staged
directly in the index.
This could be fixed a lot better using libgit2.
Ie, when there'a a conflicted merge we may get foo.variant-xxxx
created in a merge. If a second merge conflict occurs on that new file,
it was not falling back to putting in the whole key (which should stop
the merge conflicts happening for good, but is ugly).
There may be already staged changes from a prior `git annex add`,
so always commit.
Also, suppressed the commit output, since it contains noise due to
typechanged files in direct mode.
This is so git remotes on servers without git-annex installed can be used
to keep clients' git repos in sync.
This is a behavior change, but since annex-sync can be set to disable
syncing with a remote, I think it's acceptable.
* since this is a crippled filesystem anyway, git-annex doesn't use
symlinks on it
* so there's no reason to use the mixed case hash directories that we're
stuck using to avoid breaking everyone's symlinks to the content
* so we can do what is already done for all bare repos, and make non-bare
repos on crippled filesystems use the all-lower case hash directories
* which are, happily, all 3 letters long, so they cannot conflict with
mixed case hash directories
* so I was able to 100% fix this and even resuming `git annex add` in the
test case will recover and it will all just work.
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.
