This uses a DebugSelector, rather than debug levels, which will allow
for a later option like --debug-from=Process to only
see debuging about running processes.
The module name that contains the thing being debugged is used as the
DebugSelector (in most cases; does not need to be a hard and fast rule).
Debug calls were changed to add that. hslogger did not display
that first parameter to debugM, but the DebugSelector does get
displayed.
Also fastDebug will allow doing debugging in places that are used in
tight loops, with the DebugSelector coming from the Annex Reader
essentially for free. Not done yet.
In cases where numcopies checks prevented the resumed move from dropping
the object from the source repository, it now relies on a log of recent
moves to replicate the behavior of the interrupted command.
Performance: Probably noticable impact, since it has to add to the log,
check the log, and remove from the log. Seems worth it to avoid this
annoying edge case. The log functions are pretty well optimised to avoid
unncessary work.
An performance improvement to make later would be to avoid cleanup doing
anything if it's not written to the log file, and has confirmed that the
log file does not contain the log line.

The cache was removed way back in 2012,
commit 3417c55189
Then I forgot I had removed it! I remember clearly multiple times when I
thought, "this reads the same data twice, but the cache will avoid that
being very expensive".
The reason it was removed was it messed up the assistant noticing when
other processes made changes. That same kind of problem has recently
been addressed when adding the optimisation to avoid reading the journal
unnecessarily.
Indeed, enableInteractiveJournalAccess is run in just the
right places, so can just piggyback on it to know when it's not safe
to use the cache.
The only price paid is one additional MVar read per write to the journal.
Presumably writing a journal file dominiates over a MVar read time by
several orders of magnitude.
--batch does not get the speedup because then it needs to notice when
another process has made a change. Also made the assistant and other damon
modes bypass the optimisation, which would not help them anyway.
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.)
This avoids warnings from stack about the module not being listed in the
cabal file. So, the generated file is also renamed to Build/SysConfig.
Note that the setup program seems to be cached despite these changes; I
had to cabal clean to get cabal to update it so that Build/SysConfig was
written.

This is similar to the pusher thread, but a separate thread because git
pushes can be done in parallel with exports, and updating a big export
should not prevent other git pushes going out in the meantime.
The exportThread only runs at most every 30 seconds, since updating an
export is more expensive than pushing. This may need to be tuned.
Added a separate channel for export commits; the committer records a
commit in that channel.
Also, reconnectRemotes records a dummy commit, to make the exporter
thread wake up and make sure all exports are up-to-date. So,
connecting a drive with a directory special remote export will
immediately update it, and getting online will automatically
update S3 and WebDAV exports.
The transfer queue is not involved in exports. Instead, failed
exports are retried much like failed pushes.

I've long considered the XMPP support in git-annex a wart.
It's nice to remove it.
(This also removes the NetMessager, which was only used for XMPP, and the
daemonstatus's desynced list (likewise).)
Existing XMPP remotes should be ignored by git-annex.

Most of the time, there will be no discreprancy between programPath and
readProgramFile.
But, the programFile might have been written by an old version of git-annex
that is still installed, while a newer one is currently running. In this
case, we want to run the same one that's currently running.
This is especially important for things like the GIT_SSH=git-annex used for
ssh connection caching.
The only code that still uses readProgramFile directly is the upgrade code,
which needs to know where the standalone git-annex was installed, in order to
upgrade it.

Unfortunately, this caused breakage on Windows, and possibly elsewhere,
because parentDir and takeDirectory do not behave the same when there is a
trailing directory separator.
parentDir is less safe than takeDirectory, especially when working
with relative FilePaths. It's really only useful in loops that
want to terminate at /

This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
Yes, this means that git annex webapp on windows execs git-annex, which
execs itself to set env, and the execs itself again to redirect logs.
This is disgusting. This is Windows(TM).
This avoids ssh prompting for passwords on stdin, ever.
It may also change other behavior of other programs, as there is no
controlling terminal now. However, setsid was already done when running the
assistant in daemon mode, so any behavior changes should not be really new.

XMPP is no longer needed in this configuration!
Requires the remote server have git-annex-shell with notifychanges support.

The ctrl-c hack used before didn't actually seem to work.
No haskell libraries expose TerminateProcess. I tried just calling it via
FFI, but got segfaults, probably to do with the wacky process handle not
being managed correctly. Moving it all into one C function worked.
This was hell. The EvilLinker hack was just final icing on the cake.
We all know what the cake was made of.
Make sanity checker run git annex unused daily, and queue up transfers
of unused files to any remotes that will have them. The transfer retrying
code works for us here, so eg when a backup disk remote is plugged in,
any transfers to it are done. Once the unused files reach a remote,
they'll be removed locally as unwanted.
If the setup does not cause unused files to go to a remote, they'll pile
up, and the sanity checker detects this using some heuristics that are
pretty good -- 1000 unused files, or 10% of disk used by unused files,
or more disk wasted by unused files than is left free. Once it detects
this, it pops up an alert in the webapp, with a button to take action.
TODO: Webapp UI to configure this, and also the ability to launch an
immediate cleanup of all unused files.

The Upgrader avoids checking for upgrades on startup when it was just
upgraded. This avoids an upgrade loop if something goes wrong. One example
of something going wrong would be if the upgrade info file and the
distribution file get out of sync (or the distribution file is cached in
a proxy), so it thinks it has upgraded to a new version, but has really
not.
Not yet wired up to restart the assistant on upgrade; that needs careful
sanity checking to wait until the upgrade is done before restarting.
Used the DirWatcher here, so it gets events for any changes to the
directory containing the program file. (But not subdirs.) This is necessary
in order to detect when the file is renamed as part of the upgrade, which
an inotify on a single file would not detect. (Also, I have DirWatcher code,
but not FileWatcher code.)
Note that upgrades that remove or rename a whole directory tree containing
the executable will *not* trigger this code. So eg, deleting and replacing
the whole standalone tarball dir tree won't work -- but untarring it
over top will. So should dpkg package upgrades.
Added programPath, using a new GHC feature to find the full path to the
executable. The fallback code for old GHC or unsupported OS is less good;
its worst failure mode would be either failing to find the program, and so
not checking for upgrades, or finding a git-annex that's in PATH, but is
not the one running.

The webapp will check twice a day, when the network is connected, to see if
it can download a distributon upgrade file. If a newer version is found,
display an upgrade alert.
This will need the autobuilders to set UPGRADE_LOCATION to the url
it can be downloaded from when building git-annex. Only builds with that
set need automatic upgrade alerts.
Currently, the upgrade page just requests the user manually download
and upgrade it. But, all the info is provided to do automated upgrades
in the future.
Note that urls used will need to all be https.

When starting up the assistant, it'll remind about the current
repository, if it doesn't have checks. And when a removable drive
is plugged in, it will remind if a repository on it lacks checks.
Since that might be annoying, the reminders can be turned off.

Added a RemoteChecker thread, that waits for problems to be reported with
remotes, and checks if their git repository is in need of repair.
Currently, only failures to sync with the remote cause a problem to be
reported. This seems enough, but we'll see.
Plugging in a removable drive with a repository on it that is corrupted
does automatically repair the repository, as long as the corruption causes
git push or git pull to fail. Some types of corruption do not, eg
missing/corrupt objects for blobs that git push doesn't need to look at.
So, this is not really a replacement for scheduled git repository fscking.
But it does make the assistant more robust.

Extends the index.lock handling to other git lock files. I surveyed
all lock files used by git, and found more than I expected. All are
handled the same in git; it leaves them open while doing the operation,
possibly writing the new file content to the lock file, and then closes
them when done.
The gc.pid file is excluded because it won't affect the normal operation
of the assistant, and waiting for a gc to finish on startup wouldn't be
good.
All threads except the webapp thread wait on the new startup sanity checker
thread to complete, so they won't try to do things with git that fail
due to stale lock files. The webapp thread mostly avoids doing that kind of
thing itself. A few configurators might fail on lock files, but only if the
user is explicitly trying to run them. The webapp needs to start
immediately when the user has opened it, even if there are stale lock
files.
Arranging for the threads to wait on the startup sanity checker was a bit
of a bear. Have to get all the NotificationHandles set up before the
startup sanity checker runs, or they won't see its signal. Perhaps
the NotificationBroadcaster is not the best interface to have used for
this. Oh well, it works.
