The purpose of this is to fix situations where the annex object file is
stored in a directory structure other than where annex symlinks point to.
But it will also move object files from the hashdirmixed back to
hashdirlower if the repo configuration makes that the normal location.
It would have been more work to avoid that than to let it do it.

The problem is that withContentLockFile, in a v8 repo, has to take a shared
lock of `.git/annex/content.lck`. But, in a readonly repository, if that
file does not yet exist, it cannot lock it. And while it will sometimes
work to `chmod +r .git/annex`, the repository might be readonly due to
being owned by another user, or due to being mounted readonly.
So, it seems that the only solution is to use some other file than
`.git/annex/content.lck` as the lock file. The inode sential file
was almost the only option that should always exist. (And if it somehow
does not exist, creating an empty one for locking will be ok.)
Wow, what a hack!

The v10 upgrade should almost be safe now. What remains to be done is
notice when the v10 upgrade has occurred, while holding the shared lock,
and switch to using v10 lock files.

The upgrade from V9 uses this to avoid an automatic upgrade until 1 year
after the V9 update. It can also be used in future such situations.

Fix a bug that prevented getting content from a repository that started out
as a bare repository, or had annex.crippledfilesystem set, and was
converted to a non-bare repository.
This unfortunately means that inAnnex check gets slowed down by a stat call
in normal repos when the content is not present. Oh well, such is the cost
of backwards compatability with old mistakes.

This adds a separate journal, which does not currently get committed to
an index, but is planned to be committed to .git/annex/index-private.
Changes that are regarding a UUID that is private will get written to
this journal, and so will not be published into the git-annex branch.
All log writing should have been made to indicate the UUID it's
regarding, though I've not verified this yet.
Currently, no UUIDs are treated as private yet, a way to configure that
is needed.
The implementation is careful to not add any additional IO work when
privateUUIDsKnown is False. It will skip looking at the private journal
at all. So this should be free, or nearly so, unless the feature is
used. When it is used, all branch reads will be about twice as expensive.
It is very lucky -- or very prudent design -- that Annex.Branch.change
and maybeChange are the only ways to change a file on the branch,
and Annex.Branch.set is only internal use. That let Annex.Branch.get
always yield any private information that has been recorded, without
the risk that Annex.Branch.set might be called, with a non-private UUID,
and end up leaking the private information into the git-annex branch.
And, this relies on the way git-annex union merges the git-annex branch.
When reading a file, there can be a public and a private version, and
they are just concacenated together. That will be handled the same as if
there were two diverged git-annex branches that got union merged.
Keys stored on the filesystem are mangled by keyFile to avoid problem
chars. So, that mangling has to be reversed when parsing files from a
borg backup back to a key.
The directory special remote also so mangles them. Some other special
remotes do not; eg S3 just serializes the key -- but S3 object names are
not limited to filesystem valid filenames anyway, so a S3 server must
not map them directly to files in any case. It seems unlikely that a
borg backup of some such special remote will get broken by this change.

nukeFile replaced with removeWhenExistsWith removeLink, which allows
using RawFilePath. Utility.Directory cannot use RawFilePath since setup
does not depend on posix.

Notable wins in Annex.Locations which was sometimes doing 6 conversions
in a single function call.

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.

This was originally added so that unannex could prevent the hook from
running while files were in a state that the hook would interpret as
old-style unlocked and so would lock.
Now that's gone, so the only thing the hook was preventing was two
pre-commit processes running simulantaneously. But such concurrency
is normal in git-annex and should not be a problem.
Does mean that .git/hooks/pre-commit-annex might run more concurrently,
that seems the only risk of it causing any problems.
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.
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.
Since the sqlite branch uses blobs extensively, there are some
performance benefits, ByteStrings now get stored and retrieved w/o
conversion in some cases like in Database.Export.
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.
Goal is to make git-annex faster by using ByteString for all the
worktree traversal. For now, this is focusing on Command.Find,
in order to benchmark how much it helps. (All other commands are
temporarily disabled)
Currently in a very bad unbuildable in-between state.
This will speed up the common case where a Key is deserialized from
disk, but is then serialized to build eg, the path to the annex object.
Previously attempted in 4536c93bb2
and reverted in 96aba8eff7.
The problems mentioned in the latter commit are addressed now:
Read/Show of KeyData is backwards-compatible with Read/Show of Key from before
this change, so Types.Distribution will keep working.
The Eq instance is fixed.
Also, Key has smart constructors, avoiding needing to remember to update
the cached serialization.
Used git-annex benchmark:
find is 7% faster
whereis is 3% faster
get when all files are already present is 5% faster
Generally, the benchmarks are running 0.1 seconds faster per 2000 files,
on a ram disk in my laptop.
Delete the old export dbs on upgrade.
Testing this an exporting to a directory with both exporttree=yes and
importtree=yes, it refused to let an interrupted export proceed after
upgrade, with "unsafe to overwrite file". An import resolved the
problem.
It will be populated automatically by the next command that needs data
from it, the same way it gets populated in a fresh clone. That may be a
little expensive, but it's a one time cost, and no slower than in a
fresh clone.
The old db is cleaned up when a new incremental fsck is started.
The incremental fsck won't pick up where the old one left off, but I
consider this a minor enough thing that it can just be documented and
won't be a problem.
Renamed the database to .git/annex/keysdb;
the old .git/annex/keys gets deleted during the upgrade.
It is possible that an old git-annex process is running during the
upgrade. If so, it will be able to continue using the old keys db until the
upgrade is complete, and then will presumably fail in some ugly way. Or
perhaps the upgrade will be unable to delete the open files on some
systems, and so fail with an ugly error message.
It's also possible for multiple processes to be running the upgrade
concurrently. That should be fine; they will both write the same
information into the keys db.
Other databases still need to be upgraded.
This brings back .git/annex/misctmp, but only for init. If an init
is interrupted while probing using that temp directory, the files it left
will get deleted 1 week later by a subsequent git-annex run.
Prevents merging the import from deleting the non-preferred files from
the branch it's merged into.
adjustTree previously appended the new list of items to the old, which
could result in it generating a tree with multiple files with the same
name. That is not good and confuses some parts of git. Gave it a
function to resolve such conflicts.
That allowed dealing with the problem of what happens when the import
contains some files (or subtrees) with the same name as files that were
filtered out of the export. The files from the import win.
Fixes bug that caused git-annex to fail to add a file when another
git-annex process cleaned up the temp directory it was using.
Solution is just to push withOtherTmp out to a higher level, so that
the whole ingest process can be completed inside it.
But in the assistant, that was not practical to do, since withOtherTmp runs
in the Annex monad and the assistant does not. Worked around by introducing
a separate temp directory that only the assistant uses for lockdown.
Since only one assistant can run at a time, it's easy to clean up that
directory of old cruft at startup.
Fix bug that caused importing from a special remote to repeatedly download
unchanged files when multiple files in the remote have the same content.
Unfortunately, there's really no good way to remove a uniqueness constraint
from a sqlite database. The best that can be done is to make a new table
and copy the data over. But that would require using persistent's
migrations or raw sql, and I don't want to do either.
Instead, a sledgehammer approach: Renamed .git/annex/cid to
.git/annex/cids. When the new database doesn't exist, it will be populated
from the git-annex branch.
Noting deletes the old database. Don't want to delete it out from under
some long-running git-annex process that might be using it. It could
eventually be deleted. But this is such a new feature, probably few repos
have the database in any case.
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.)
Does not yet have a way to update with new information from the
git-annex branch, which will be needed when multiple repos are importing
from the same remote.
* 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.
