When storing content on remote fails, always display a reason why.
Since the Storer used by special remotes already did, this mostly affects
git remotes, but not entirely. For example, if git-lfs failed to connect to
the endpoint, it used to silently return False.
That had almost no benefit at all, and complicated things quite a lot.
What I proably wanted this to be was something like ResourceT, but it
was not. The few remotes that actually need some preparation done only
once and reused used a MVar and not Preparer.
Fix serious regression in gcrypt and encrypted git-lfs remotes.
Since version 7.20200202.7, git-annex incorrectly stored content
on those remotes without encrypting it.
Problem was, Remote.Git enumerates all git remotes, including git-lfs
and gcrypt. It then dispatches to those. So, Remote.List used the
RemoteConfigParser from Remote.Git, instead of from git-lfs or gcrypt,
and that parser does not know about encryption fields, so did not
include them in the ParsedRemoteConfig. (Also didn't include other
fields specific to those remotes, perhaps chunking etc also didn't
get through.)
To fix, had to move RemoteConfig parsing down into the generate methods
of each remote, rather than doing it in Remote.List.
And a consequence of that was that ParsedRemoteConfig had to change to
include the RemoteConfig that got parsed, so that testremote can
generate a new remote based on an existing remote.
(I would have rather fixed this just inside Remote.Git, but that was not
practical, at least not w/o re-doing work that Remote.List already did.
Big ugly mostly mechanical patch seemed preferable to making git-annex
slower.)
Needed so Remote.External can query the external program for its
configs. When the external program does not support the query,
the passthrough option will make all input fields be available.
This is a first step toward that goal, using the ProposedAccepted type
in RemoteConfig lets initremote/enableremote reject bad parameters that
were passed in a remote's configuration, while avoiding enableremote
rejecting bad parameters that have already been stored in remote.log
This does not eliminate every place where a remote config is parsed and a
default value is used if the parse false. But, I did fix several
things that expected foo=yes/no and so confusingly accepted foo=true but
treated it like foo=no. There are still some fields that are parsed with
yesNo but not not checked when initializing a remote, and there are other
fields that are parsed in other ways and not checked when initializing a
remote.
This also lays groundwork for rejecting unknown/typoed config keys.
Remove dup definitions and just use the RawFilePath one. </> etc are
enough faster that it's probably faster than building a String directly,
although I have not benchmarked.
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.
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.
This solves the problem of sameas remotes trampling over per-remote
state. Used for:
* per-remote state, of course
* per-remote metadata, also of course
* per-remote content identifiers, because two remote implementations
could in theory generate the same content identifier for two different
peices of content
While chunk logs are per-remote data, they don't use this, because the
number and size of chunks stored is a common property across sameas
remotes.
External special remote had a complication, where it was theoretically
possible for a remote to send SETSTATE or GETSTATE during INITREMOTE or
EXPORTSUPPORTED. Since the uuid of the remote is typically generate in
Remote.setup, it would only be possible to pass a Maybe
RemoteStateHandle into it, and it would otherwise have to construct its
own. Rather than go that route, I decided to send an ERROR in this case.
It seems unlikely that any existing external special remote will be
affected. They would have to make up a git-annex key, and set state for
some reason during INITREMOTE. I can imagine such a hack, but it doesn't
seem worth complicating the code in such an ugly way to support it.
Unfortunately, both TestRemote and Annex.Import needed the Remote
to have a new field added that holds its RemoteStateHandle.
Prompted by the test suite on windows failing to with "export foo failed"
and no information about what went wrong.
Note that only storeExportWithContentIdentifier has been converted.
storeExport still returns a Bool and so exceptions may be hidden.
However, storeExportWithContentIdentifier has many more failure modes,
since it needs to avoid overwriting modified files. So it's more
important it have better error display.
As well as adding the necessary methods, a few other changes to the adb
remote:
* Use ".annextmp" extension for temp files, to avoid conflict with other
temp files.
* Stop using "echo $?" to get exit status of command inside adb.
There were two problems; first the "echo" just before it meant it was
always 0! And secondly, it seems kind of random on my phone whether it's
1 or 0, not dependant on whether the command seems to have succeeded.
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.)
Avoid a warning message when renameExport is not supported, and just
fallback to deleting with a subsequent re-upload. Especially needed for
importtree remotes, where renameExport needs to be disabled.
This changes the external special remote protocol, but in a
backwards-compatible way. A reply of UNSUPPORTED-REQUEST to an older
version of git-annex will cause it to make renameExport return False.
Had to add two more API calls to override export APIs that are not safe
for use in combination with import.
It's unfortunate that removeExportDirectory is documented to be allowed
to remove non-empty directories. I'm not entirely sure why it's that
way, my best guess is it was intended to make it easy to implement with
just rm -rf.
For now, it's only allowed when exporttree=yes is also set.
That simplified the implementation, but could later be changed if
there's a remote that makes sense to be an import but not an export.
However, it may work just as well to make a remote be readonly to
prevent export to it while still allowing import.
Not sure if my reasoning about the races really holds.
It would certianly be possible to better guard against races by using
Linux-specific renameat2 with RENAME_EXCHANGE or RENAME_NOREPLACE.
Or by using link and relying on it not overwriting existing files -- but
that would need a filesystem that supports hard links and directory can
be used in filesystems that don't.
This does not avoid all possible races, but it does avoid all likely
ones, and is demonstratably better than git's own handling of races
where files get modified at the same time as it's updating the working
tree.
The main thing this won't detect are not unlikely races where part
of a file gets changed while it's being copied and then the file is
restored to its original condition before the modification check.
No, it's more likely that the limitations of checking inode, size,
and mtime won't detect certian modifications, involving eg mmapped
files.
Purifying exportActions will allow introspecting and modifying it,
which is needed to add progress bar display to it.
Only S3 and WebDAV ran an Annex action while constructing ExportActions.
There was a small performance gain from them doing that, since a
resource was able to be prepared and reused for multiple actions by
Command.Export.
As seen in commit 809cfbbd8a and
5d394023eb S3 and WebDAV actually create a
new handle for each access in normal, non-export use. It doesn't seem
worth making export use of them marginally more efficient than normal
use. It would be better to do that work upfront when constructing the
remote. Or perhaps use a MVar to cache a handle.

This will be used to protect against CVE-2018-10859, where an encrypted
special remote is fed the wrong encrypted data, and so tricked into
decrypting something that the user encrypted with their gpg key and did
not store in git-annex.
It also protects against CVE-2018-10857, where a remote follows a http
redirect to a file:// url or to a local private web server. While that's
already been prevented in git-annex's own use of http, external special
remotes, hooks, etc use other http implementations and could still be
vulnerable.
The policy is not yet enforced, this commit only adds the appropriate
metadata to remotes.

This is groundwork for letting a repo be instantiated the first time
it's actually used, instead of at startup.
The only behavior change is that some old special cases for xmpp remotes
were removed. Where before git-annex silently did nothing with those
no-longer supported remotes, it may now fail in some way.
The additional IO action should have no performance impact as long as
it's simply return.

Not yet called by Command.Export.
WebDAV needs this to clean up empty collections. Also, example.sh turned
out to not be cleaning up directories when removing content
from them, so it made sense for it to use this.
Remote.Directory did not need it, and since its cleanup method for empty
directories is more efficient than what Command.Export will need to do
to find empty directories, it uses Nothing so that extra work can be
avoided.

Don't allow "exporttree=yes" to be set when the special remote
does not support exports. That would be confusing since the user would
set up a special remote for exports, but `git annex export` to it would
later fail.
This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
Straightforward enough, except for the needed belt-and-suspenders sanity
checks to avoid foot shooting due to exports not being key/value stores.
* Even when annex.verify=false, always verify from exports.
* Only get files from exports that use a backend that supports
checksum verification.
* Never trust exports, even if the user says to, because then
`git annex drop` would drop content if the export seemed to contain
a copy.
This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* Only export to remotes that were initialized to support it.
* Prevent storing key/value on export remotes.
* Prevent enabling exporttree=yes and encryption in the same remote.
SetupStage Enable was changed to take the old RemoteConfig.
This allowed only setting exporttree when initially setting up a
remote, and not configuring it later after stuff might already be stored
in the remote.
Went with =yes rather than =true for consistency with other parts of
git-annex. Changed docs accordingly.

This will allow disabling exports for remotes that are not configured to

This avoids needing to deal with the complexity of partially transferred
files in the export. We'd not be able to resume uploading to such a file
anyway, so just avoid them.
The implementation in Remote.Directory is not completely ideal, because
it could leave the temp file hanging around in the export directory.
This only happens if it's killed with -9, or there's a power failure;
normally viaTmp cleans up after itself, even when interrupted. I could
not see a better way to do it though, since the export directory might
be the root of a filesystem.
Also some design thoughts on resuming, which depend on storeExport being
atomic.

Rather than providing the key to export, provide the file.
When exporting a treeish that contains files that are not annexed,
this will let the content of those files also be exported.
There's still a Key in the interface; it will be used by the external
special remote protocol. A SHA1 key can be used when exporting
non-annexed files.

Implemented so far for the directory special remote.
Several remotes don't make sense to export to. Regular Git remotes,
obviously, do not. Bup remotes almost certianly do not, since bup would
need to be used to extract the export; same store for Ddar. Web and
Bittorrent are download-only. GCrypt is always encrypted so exporting to
it would be pointless. There's probably no point complicating the Hook
remotes with exporting at this point. External, S3, Glacier, WebDAV,
Rsync, and possibly Tahoe should be modified to support export.
Thought about trying to reuse the storeKey/retrieveKeyFile/removeKey
interface, rather than adding a new interface. But, it seemed better to
keep it separate, to avoid a complicated interface that sometimes
encrypts/chunks key/value storage and sometimes users non-key/value
storage. Any common parts can be factored out.
Note that storeExport is not atomic.
doc/design/exporting_trees_to_special_remotes.mdwn has some things in
the "resuming exports" section that bear on this decision. Basically,
I don't think, at this time, that an atomic storeExport would help with
resuming, because exports are not key/value storage, and we can't be
sure that a partially uploaded file is the same content we're currently
trying to export.
Also, note that ExportLocation will always use unix path separators.
This is important, because users may export from a mix of windows and
unix, and it avoids complicating the API with path conversions,
and ensures that in such a mix, they always use the same locations for
exports.

Most remotes have an idempotent setup that can be reused for
enableremote, but in a few cases, it needs to tell which, and whether
a UUID was provided to setup was used.
This is groundwork for making initremote be able to provide a UUID.
It should not change any behavior.
Note that it would be nice to make the UUID always be provided to setup,
and make setup not need to generate and return a UUID. What prevented
this simplification is Remote.Git.gitSetup, which needs to reuse the
UUID of the git remote when setting it up, and so has to return that
UUID.

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.

Removed the instance LensGpgEncParams RemoteConfig because it encouraged
code that does not take the RemoteGitConfig into account.
RemoteType's setup was changed to take a RemoteGitConfig,
although the only place that is able to provide a non-empty one is
enableremote, when it's changing an existing remote. This led to several
folow-on changes, and got RemoteGitConfig plumbed through.
Now it suffices to run git remote add, followed by git-annex sync. Now the
remote is automatically initialized for use by git-annex, where before the
git-annex branch had to manually be pushed before using git-annex sync.
Note that this involved changes to git-annex-shell, so if the remote is
using an old version, the manual push is still needed.
Implementation required git-annex-shell be changed, so configlist can
autoinit a repository even when no git-annex branch has been pushed yet.
Unfortunate because we'll have to wait for it to get deployed to servers
before being able to rely on this change in the documentation.
Did consider making git-annex sync push the git-annex branch to repos that
didn't have a uuid, but this seemed difficult to do without complicating it
in messy ways.
It would be cleaner to split a command out from configlist to handle
the initialization. But this is difficult without sacrificing backwards
compatability, for users of old git-annex versions which would not use the
new command.
The directory special remote was not affected in its normal configuration,
since annex-directory is an absolute path normally. But it could fail
when a relative path was used.
The git remote was affected even when an absolute path to it was used in
.git/config, since git-annex now converts all such paths to relative.

Unfortunately, this caused breakage on Windows, and possibly elsewhere,
because parentDir and takeDirectory do not behave the same when there is a

parentDir is less safe than takeDirectory, especially when working
with relative FilePaths. It's really only useful in loops that
want to terminate at /

encryptionSetup must be called before setRemoteCredPair. Otherwise,
the RemoteConfig doesn't have the cipher in it, and so no cipher is used to
encrypt the embedded creds.
This is a security fix for non-shared encryption methods!
For encryption=shared, there's no security problem, just an
inconsistentency in whether the embedded creds are encrypted.
This is very important to get right, so used some types to help ensure that
setRemoteCredPair is only run after encryptionSetup. Note that the external
special remote bypasses the type safety, since creds can be set after the
initial remote config, if the external special remote program requests it.
Also note that IA remotes never use encryption, so encryptionSetup is not
run for them at all, and again the type safety is bypassed.
This leaves two open questions:
1. What to do about S3 and glacier remotes that were set up
using encryption=pubkey/hybrid with embedcreds?
Such a git repo has a security hole embedded in it, and this needs to be
communicated to the user. Is the changelog enough?
2. enableremote won't work in such a repo, because git-annex will
try to decrypt the embedded creds, which are not encrypted, so fails.
This needs to be dealt with, especially for ecryption=shared repos,
which are not really broken, just inconsistently configured.
Noticing that problem for encryption=shared is what led to commit
fbdeeeed5f, which tried to
fix the problem by not decrypting the embedded creds.

Added a mkUnavailable method, which a Remote can use to generate a version
of itself that is not available. Implemented for several, but not yet all
remotes.
This allows testing that checkPresent properly throws an exceptions when
it cannot check if a key is present or not. It also allows testing that the
other methods don't throw exceptions in these circumstances.
This immediately found several bugs, which this commit also fixes!
* git remotes using ssh accidentially had checkPresent return
an exception, rather than throwing it
* The chunking code accidentially returned False rather than
propigating an exception when there were no chunks and
checkPresent threw an exception for the non-chunked key.
This commit was sponsored by Carlo Matteo Capocasa.
This will allow special remotes to eg, open a http connection and reuse it,
while checking if chunks are present, or removing chunks.
S3 and WebDAV both need this to support chunks with reasonable speed.
Note that a special remote might want to cache a http connection across
multiple requests. A simple case of this is that CheckPresent is typically
called before Store or Remove. A remote using this interface can certianly
use a Preparer that eg, uses a MVar to cache a http connection.
However, it's up to the remote to then deal with things like stale or
stalled http connections when eg, doing a series of downloads from a remote
and other places. There could be long delays between calls to a remote,
which could lead to eg, http connection stalls; the machine might even
move to a new network, etc.
It might be nice to improve this interface later to allow
the simple case without needing to handle the full complex case.
One way to do it would be to have a `Transaction SpecialRemote cache`,
where SpecialRemote contains methods for Storer, Retriever, Remover, and
CheckPresent, that all expect to be passed a `cache`.
I tend to prefer moving toward explicit exception handling, not away from
it, but in this case, I think there are good reasons to let checkPresent
throw exceptions:
1. They can all be caught in one place (Remote.hasKey), and we know
every possible exception is caught there now, which we didn't before.
2. It simplified the code of the Remotes. I think it makes sense for
Remotes to be able to be implemented without needing to worry about
catching exceptions inside them. (Mostly.)
3. Types.StoreRetrieve.Preparer can only work on things that return a
Bool, which all the other relevant remote methods already did.
I do not see a good way to generalize that type; my previous attempts
failed miserably.
Make the byteRetriever be passed the callback that consumes the bytestring.
This way, there's no worries about the lazy bytestring not all being read
when the resource that's creating it is closed.
Which in turn lets bup, ddar, and S3 each switch from using an unncessary
fileRetriver to a byteRetriever. So, more efficient on chunks and encrypted
files.
The only remaining fileRetrievers are hook and external, which really do
retrieve to files.
The forall a. in Preparer made resourcePrepare not seem to be usable, so
I specialized a to Bool. Which works for both Preparer Storer and
Preparer Retriever, but wouldn't let the Preparer be used for hasKey
as it currently stands.
Needed for eg, Remote.External.
Generally, any Retriever that stores content in a file is responsible for
updating the meter, while ones that procude a lazy bytestring cannot update
the meter, so are not asked to.
Some remotes like External need to run store and retrieve actions in Annex,
not IO. In order to do that lift, I had to dive pretty deep into the
utilities, making Utility.Gpg and Utility.Tmp be partly converted to using
MonadIO, and Control.Monad.Catch for exception handling.

and reuse it for all the chunked data.

Also, catch exceptions from PrepareStorer and PrepareRetriever,
just in case..
Moved old legacy chunking code, and cleaned up the directory and webdav

used.

I think both of these are all that's affected, but I went ahead and fixed
all the remotes that set their config to M.empty to instead store the
actual config. Who knows what will expect it to be actually present in
future, the Remote instance of getGpgEncParams came to..
Currently only implemented for local git remotes. May try to add support
to git-annex-shell for ssh remotes later. Could concevably also be
supported by some special remote, although that seems unlikely.
Cronner user this when available, and when not falls back to
fsck --fast --from remote
git annex fsck --from does not itself use this interface.
To do so, I would need to pass --fast and all other options that influence
fsck on to the git annex fsck that it runs inside the remote. And that
seems like a lot of work for a result that would be no better than
cd remote; git annex fsck
This may need to be revisited if git-annex-shell gets support, since it
may be the case that the user cannot ssh to the server to run git-annex
fsck there, but can run git-annex-shell there.
