Removed instance, got it all to build using fromRef. (With a few things
that really need to show something using a ref for debugging stubbed out.)
Then added back Read instance, and made Logs.View use it for serialization.
This changes the view log format.
Having one module that knows about all the filenames used on the branch
allows working back from an arbitrary filename to enough information about
it to implement dropping dead remotes and doing other log file compacting
as part of a forget transition.
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.
Baked into the code was an assumption that a repository's git directory
could be determined by adding ".git" to its work tree (or nothing for bare
repos). That fails when core.worktree, or GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are
used to separate the two.
This was attacked at the type level, by storing the gitdir and worktree
separately, so Nothing for the worktree means a bare repo.
A complication arose because we don't learn where a repository is bare
until its configuration is read. So another Location type handles
repositories that have not had their config read yet. I am not entirely
happy with this being a Location type, rather than representing them
entirely separate from the Git type. The new code is not worse than the
old, but better types could enforce more safety.
Added support for core.worktree. Overriding it with -c isn't supported
because it's not really clear what to do if a git repo's config is read, is
not bare, and is then overridden to bare. What is the right git directory
in this case? I will worry about this if/when someone has a use case for
overriding core.worktree with -c. (See Git.Config.updateLocation)
Also removed and renamed some functions like gitDir and workTree that
misused git's terminology.
One minor regression is known: git annex add in a bare repository does not
print a nice error message, but runs git ls-files in a way that fails
earlier with a less nice error message. This is because before --work-tree
was always passed to git commands, even in a bare repo, while now it's not.
Done by adding a oneshot mode, in which location log changes are written to
the journal, but not committed. Taking advantage of git-annex's existing
ability to recover in this situation.
This is used by git-annex-shell and other places where changes are made to
a remote's location log.
In git, a Ref can be a Sha, or a Branch, or a Tag. I added type aliases for
those. Note that this does not prevent mixing up of eg, refs and branches
at the type level. Since git really doesn't care, except rare cases like
git update-ref, or git tag -d, that seems ok for now.
There's also a tree-ish, but let's just use Ref for it. A given Sha or Ref
may or may not be a tree-ish, depending on the object type, so there seems
no point in trying to represent it at the type level.
Many functions took the repo as their first parameter. Changing it
consistently to be the last parameter allows doing some useful things with
currying, that reduce boilerplate.
In particular, g <- gitRepo is almost never needed now, instead
use inRepo to run an IO action in the repo, and fromRepo to get
a value from the repo.
This also provides more opportunities to use monadic and applicative
combinators.
All changes to files in the branch are now made via pure functions that
transform the old file into the new. This will allow adding locking
to prevent read/write races. It also makes the code nicer, and purer.
I noticed a behavior change, really a sort of bug fix. Before,
'git annex untrust foo --trust bar' would change both trust levels
permanantly, now the --trust doesn't get stored.
Adds a missing newline when a longnote is followed by a endresult.
Multiple longnotes in a row will now be separated by a blank line, which
could be a bug or a feature depending on taste.
Removed several places where newlines were explicitly displayed after
longnotes.
