Just after enabing a ssh remote, we've not synced with it yet, so its
description and group are not known. So, avoid showing edit form so user
doesn't see blank info. Instead, redirect to dashboard.
Avoid stomping on existing group and preferred content settings
when enabling or combining with an already existing remote.
Two level fix. First, use defaultStandardGroup rather than
setStandardGroup, so if there is an existing configuration in the git-annex
branch, it's not overwritten.
To handle pre-existing ssh remotes (including gcrypt), a second level is
needed, because before syncing with the remote, it's configuration won't be
available locally. (And syncing could take a long time.) So, in this case,
keep track of whether the remote is being created or enabled, and only set
configs when creating it.

When adding a repo from a removable drive that already exists, fetch
from it before showing the edit form, so it will have the existing
configuration of that repo.
This does mean that if the webapp is asked to add a git repository on
a removable drive that already exists, but is not yet a git-annex
repository, it will avoid putting it in any group. That unlikely edge case
is ok; the next step is the edit repository screen, which will show it's
not in any group and the user can pick one.
There was a tricky bit here, when it does combine, the edit form is shown,
and so the info needs to be committed to the new repository, but then
pulled into the current one. And caches need to be invalidated for it
to be visible in the edit form.
This is the capstone in making the webapp remember ssh remotes
so they can be easily enabled in other clones of the repository.
Currently, the user will need to enter a password to enable the ssh remote,
but everything else is filled in automatically.

The repository must have been added using initremote.
Turned out to be much much simpler than expected, because I was able to
reuse the existing code for enabling rsync and gcrypt remotes, which
was already sufficiently general that it will also work for ssh remotes.
Total win!

Note that TransferInfo does not always contain the Remote, although
any transfer added to the TransferQueue does have a Remote in its
TransferInfo. The transferkeys command still accepts a UUID, which is
useful to handle upgrades, where an old assistant version runs the new
transferkeys.

I missed this because there's no strong type checking across the AJAX call. :(
Need to switch to Fay to avoid such bugs..
Avoid any possibilty of prompting in ssh setup in webapp.
Prticularly on Windows this was a problem, it seemed to enter an infinite
loop. I think that ssh can sometimes use SSH_ASKPASS for y/n prompting,
when no controlling TTY is available, and since git-annex always answers
back with the host's password, not y/n, it looped.

When setting up a remote on a ssh server, prompt for a password inside the
webapp, rather than relying on ssh's own password prompting in the terminal
the webapp was started from, or ssh-askpass.
Avoids double prompting for the ssh password (and triple-prompting on
windows for rsync.net), since the entered password is cached for 10 minutes
and this cached password is reused when setting up the repository, after
the initial probe.
When the user has an existing ssh key set up, they can choose to use it,
rather than entering a password. The webapp used to probe for this case
automatically, so this is a little harder, but it's an advanced user thing.
Note that this commit is known to break enabling existing rsync
repositories. It hs not been tested with gcrypt repositories. It's not been
successfully tested yet on Windows.

This should fix the android build. The EvilSplicer cannot fix up ghc's
misformatting of a case expression with a construstor with a lot of
parameters, which spans multiple lines.
Note that this does not yet use SecureMem. It would probably make sense for
the Password part of a CredPair to use SecureMem, and making that change
is better than passing in a String and having it converted to SecureMem in
this code.
* webapp: Support using git-annex on a remote server, which was installed
from the standalone tarball or OSX app, and so does not have
git-annex in PATH (and may also not have git or rsync in PATH).
* standalone tarball, OSX app: Install a ~/.ssh/git-annex-wrapper, which
can be used to run git-annex, git, rsync, etc.
Only fsck and reinject and the test suite used the Backend, and they can
look it up as needed from the Key. This simplifies the code and also speeds
it up.
There is a small behavior change here. Before, all commands would warn when
acting on an annexed file with an unknown backend. Now, only fsck and
reinject show that warning.
This is a better approach to finding both when NM has lost a network
connection, and when a new network connection is made by NM.
Tested with network-manager 0.9.8.8.

* Remote system might be available, and connection get lost. Should
reconnect, but needs to avoid bad behavior (ie, constant reconnect
attempts.) Use exponential backoff.
* Detect if old system had a too old git-annex-shell, and show the user
a nice message in the webapp. Required parsing error messages, so perhaps
this code shoudl be removed once enough time has passed..
* Switch the protocol to using remote URI's, rather than remote names.
Names change. Also avoids issues with serialization of names containing
whitespace.
This is nearly ready for merge into master now. I'd still like to make the ssh
transport smarter about reusing ssh connection caching during git pull.

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

This includes checking when dropping files that any required content
configuration is satisfied. However, it does not yet include an active
check on the required content; the location log is trusted when checking
the required content expression.
Motivation: Hook scripts for nautilus or other file managers
need to provide the user with feedback that a file is being downloaded.

git-annex-shell does not need a pty, so this speeds things up.
Also, it may avoid weird misconfigured systems that try to run screen or
tmux on every ssh login from doing so.
This is a new feature, it was not handled before, since it's a bit of an
edge case. However, it can be handled exactly the same as a file/dir
conflict, just leave the non-annexed item alone.
While implementing this, the core resolveMerge' function got a lot simpler
and clearer. Note especially that where before there was an asymetric call to
stagefromdirectmergedir, now graftin is called symmetrically in both cases.
And, in order to add that `graftin us`, the current branch needed to be
known (if there is no current branch, there cannot be a merge conflict).
This led to some cleanups of how autoMergeFrom behaved when there is no
current branch.

Trying to start in such a repo will, obviously, fail.
Note that assistant --autostart will try to start in such a repo, and fail,
but does start successfully in the other autostart repos.
This allows eg, putting .git/annex/tmp on a ram disk, if the disk IO
of temp object files is too annoying (and if you don't want to keep
partially transferred objects across reboots).
.git/annex/misctmp must be on the same filesystem as the git work tree,
since files are moved to there in a way that will not work cross-device,
as well as symlinked into there.
I first wanted to put the tmp objects in .git/annex/objects/tmp, but
that would pose transition problems on upgrade when partially transferred
objects existed.
git annex info does not currently show the size of .git/annex/misctemp,
since it should stay small. It would also be ok to make something clean it
out, periodically.
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.
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.
This is no longer necessary, at least with msysgit 1.8.5.2.msysgit.0.
Its root cause may have been fixed by other recent git path fixes.
It was causing the webapp to fail to make repos on other drives.
