Except when configuration makes curl be used. It did not seem worth
trying to tail the file when curl is downloading.
But when an interrupted download is resumed, it does not read the whole
existing file to hash it. Same reason discussed in
commit 7eb3742e4b76d1d7a487c2c53bf25cda4ee5df43; that could take a long
time with no progress being displayed. And also there's an open http
request, which needs to be consumed; taking a long time to hash the file
might cause it to time out.
Also in passing implemented it for git and external special remotes when
downloading from the web. Several others like S3 are within striking
distance now as well.

Added fileRetriever', which will let the remaining special remotes
eventually also support incremental verify.
Sponsored-by: Dartmouth College's DANDI project
It uses tailVerify to hash the file while it's being written.
This is able to sometimes avoid a separate checksum step. Although
if the file gets written quickly enough, tailVerify may not see it
get created before the write finishes, and the checksum still happens.
Testing with the directory special remote, incremental checksumming did
not happen. But then I disabled the copy CoW probing, and it did work.
What's going on with that is the CoW probe creates an empty file on
failure, then deletes it, and then the file is created again. tailVerify
will open the first, empty file, and so fails to read the content that
gets written to the file that replaces it.
The directory special remote really ought to be able to avoid needing to
use tailVerify, and while other special remotes could do things that
cause similar problems, they probably don't. And if they do, it just
means the checksum doesn't get done incrementally.

Simply feed each chunk in turn to the incremental verifier.
When resuming an interrupted retrieve, it does not do incremental
verification. That would need to read the file, up to the resume point,
and feed it to the incremental verifier. That seems easy to get wrong.
Also it would mean extra work done before the transfer can start. Which
would complicate displaying progress, and would perhaps not appear to the
user as if it was resuming from where it left off. Instead, in that
situation, return UnVerified, and let the verification be done in a
separate pass.
Granted, Annex.CopyFile does manage all that, but it's not complicated
by dealing with chunks too.

Several special remotes verify content while it is being retrieved,
avoiding a separate checksum pass. They are: S3, bup, ddar, and
gcrypt (with a local repository).
Not done when using chunking, yet.
Complicated by Retriever needing to change to be polymorphic. Which in turn
meant RankNTypes is needed, and also needed some code changes. The
change in Remote.External does not change behavior at all but avoids
the type checking failing because of a "rigid, skolem type" which
"would escape its scope". So I refactored slightly to make the type
checker's job easier there.
Unfortunately, directory uses fileRetriever (except when chunked),
so it is not amoung the improved ones. Fixing that would need a way for
FileRetriever to return a Verification. But, since the file retrieved
may be encrypted or chunked, it would be extra work to always
incrementally checksum the file while retrieving it. Hm.
Some other special remotes use fileRetriever, and so don't get incremental
verification, but could be converted to byteRetriever later. One is
GitLFS, which uses downloadConduit, which writes to the file, so could
verify as it goes. Other special remotes like web could too, but don't
use Remote.Helper.Special and so will need to be addressed separately.

* Deal with clock skew, both forwards and backwards, when logging
information to the git-annex branch.
* GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK can now be set to a fixed value (eg 1)
rather than needing to be advanced each time a new change is made.
* Misuse of GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK will no longer confuse git-annex.
When changing a file in the git-annex branch, the vector clock to use is now
determined by first looking at the current time (or GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK
when set), and comparing it to the newest vector clock already in use in
that file. If a newer time stamp was already in use, advance it forward by
a second instead.
When the clock is set to a time in the past, this avoids logging with
an old timestamp, which would risk that log line later being ignored in favor
of "newer" line that is really not newer.
When a log entry has been made with a clock that was set far ahead in the
future, this avoids newer information being logged with an older timestamp
and so being ignored in favor of that future-timestamped information.
Once all clocks get fixed, this will result in the vector clocks being
incremented, until finally enough time has passed that time gets back ahead
of the vector clock value, and then it will return to usual operation.
(This latter situation is not ideal, but it seems the best that can be done.
The issue with it is, since all writers will be incrementing the last
vector clock they saw, there's no way to tell when one writer made a write
significantly later in time than another, so the earlier write might
arbitrarily be picked when merging. This problem is why git-annex uses
timestamps in the first place, rather than pure vector clocks.)
Advancing forward by 1 second is somewhat arbitrary. setDead
advances a timestamp by just 1 picosecond, and the vector clock could
too. But then it would interfere with setDead, which wants to be
overrulled by any change. So it could use 2 picoseconds or something,
but that seems weird. It could just as well advance it forward by a
minute or whatever, but then it would be harder for real time to catch
up with the vector clock when forward clock slew had happened.
A complication is that many log files contain several different peices of
information, and it may be best to only use vector clocks for the same peice
of information. For example, a key's location log file contains
InfoPresent/InfoMissing for each UUID, and it only looks at the vector
clocks for the UUID that is being changed, and not other UUIDs.
Although exactly where the dividing line is can be hard to determine.
Consider metadata logs, where a field "tag" can have multiple values set
at different times. Should it advance forward past the last tag?
Probably. What about when a different field is set, should it look at
the clocks of other fields? Perhaps not, but currently it does, and
this does not seems like it will cause any problems.
Another one I'm not entirely sure about is the export log, which is
keyed by (fromuuid, touuid). So if multiple repos are exporting to the
same remote, different vector clocks can be used for that remote.
It looks like that's probably ok, because it does not try to determine
what order things occurred when there was an export conflict.

An easy way to see this in action is to have an unlocked file, and touch the
object file.
While all code that compares inode caches for object files needs to be
prepared for this kind of problem and fall back to verification, having
fsck notice it and correct it is cheap (as long as fsck is being run
anyway) and ensures that if it happens for some unusual reason, there's a
way for the user to notice that it's happening.
Not that, when annex.thin is in use, the earlier call to isUnmodified
(and also potentially earlier calls to inAnnex in eg, verifyLocationLog)
will fix up the same problem silently. That might prevent the warning
being displayed, although probably it still will be, because the
Database.Keys write of the InodeCache will be queued but will not have
happened yet. I can't see a way to improve this, but it's not great.

This is a result of an audit of every use of getInodeCaches,
to find places that misbehave when the annex object is not in the inode
cache, despite pointer files for the same key being in the inode cache.
Unfortunately, that is the case for objects that were in v7 repos that
upgraded to v8. Added a note about this gotcha to getInodeCaches.
Database.Keys.reconcileStaged, then annex.thin is set, would fail to
populate pointer files in this situation. Changed it to check if the
annex object is unmodified the same way inAnnex does, falling back to a
checksum if the inode cache is not recorded.

Fix bug that caused some transfers to incorrectly fail with "content
changed while it was being sent", when the content was not changed.
While I don't know how to reproduce the problem that several people
reported, it is presumably due to the inode cache somehow being stale.
So check isUnmodified', and if it's not modified, include the file's
current inode cache in the set to accept, when checking for modification
after the transfer.
That seems like the right thing to do for another reason: The failure
says the file changed while it was being sent, but if the object file was
changed before the transfer started, that's wrong. So it needs to check
before allowing the transfer at all if the file is modified.
(Other calls to sameInodeCache or elemInodeCaches, when operating on inode
caches from the database, could also be problimatic if the inode cache is
somehow getting stale. This does not address such problems.)

Dropping an object with drop --unused or dropunused will mark it as
dead, preventing fsck --all from complaining about it after it's been
dropped from all repositories.
If another repository still has a copy, it won't be treated as dead
until it's also dropped from there.
The drop has to use --unused, can't be --key or something else, because
this indicates that the user has recently ran git-annex unused. If it
checked the unused log on every drop, bad things would happen when the
unused log was out of date, eg a file used to be unused but then got
re-added. Marking such a file as dead could be confusing. When the user
uses --unused/dropunused, they must consider the unused information to be
up-to-date.
The particular workflow this enables is:
git annex add foo
git annex unannex foo
git annex unused
git annex drop --unused / dropunused
git annex fsck --all # no warnings
The docs for git-annex unannex say to use git-annex unused and dropunused,
so the user should be pointed in this direction when they want to undo an
accidental add.

Freeze first sets the file perms, and then runs
freezecontent-command. Thaw runs thawcontent-command before
restoring file permissions. This is in case the freeze command
prevents changing file perms, as eg setting a file immutable does.
Also, changing file perms tends to mess up previously set ACLs.
git-annex init's probe for crippled filesystem uses them, so if file perms
don't work, but freezecontent-command manages to prevent write to a file,
it won't treat the filesystem as crippled.
When the the filesystem has been probed as crippled, the hooks are not
used, because there seems to be no point then; git-annex won't be relying
on locking annex objects down. Also, this avoids them being run when the
file perms have not been changed, in case they somehow rely on
git-annex's setting of the file perms in order to work.

sync: Partly work around github behavior that first branch to be pushed to
a new repository is assumed to be the head branch, by not pushing
synced/git-annex first.
github expects master (or whatever the name is) to be pushed first, but
git-annex sync can't, because it's got to also support pushes to non-bare
repos where pushing master fails, as explained in the big comment. So
pushing synced/master is not entirely a fix, but at least it makes github
default to a branch with the stuff the user expects in it, not a bunch of
annex log files.
Aside from fixing github to not make this assumption, or improving
the git push protocol to include what the current HEAD is, the only other
approach I can think of is to identify git push's progress messages and
display those when pushing master, while filtering out error messages
about non-fast-forward etc. But git doesn't provide a way to separate out
or identify its progress messages.

This was an old problem when the files were being added unlocked,

The normalisation of filenames turns out to be the tricky part here,

it needs to be normalised.
Note that, on windows, normalise "./foo/bar" = "foo\\bar"
which a glob like "foo/*" won't match. So the glob is matched a second
time, on the toInternalGitPath, so allowing the user to provide a glob
with the slashes in either direction. However, this still won't support

When two files have the same content, and a required content expression

The sync --content edge case is that handleDropsFrom loaded associated files
and used them without verifying that the information from the database was

It seemed best to avoid changing --want-drop's behavior, this way when
debugging a preferred content expression with it, the files matched will
still reflect the expression. So added a note to the --want-drop documentation,
to make clear it may not behave identically to git-annex drop --auto.
While it would be possible to introspect the preferred content
expression to see if it matches on filenames, and only look up the
associated files when it does, it's generally fairly rare for 2 files to
have the same content, and the database lookup is already avoided when
there's only 1 file, so I did not implement that further optimisation.
Note that there are still some situations where the associated files
database does not get locked files recorded in it, which will prevent

smudge: Fix a case where an unlocked annexed file that annex.largefiles
does not match could get its unchanged content checked into git, due to git
running the smudge filter unecessarily.
When the file has the same inodecache as an already annexed file,
we can assume that the user is not intending to change how it's stored in
git.
Note that checkunchangedgitfile already handled the inverse case, where the
file was added to git previously. That goes further and actually sha1
hashes the new file and checks if it's the same hash in the index.
It would be possible to generate a key for the file and see if it's the
same as the old key, however that could be considerably more expensive than
sha1 of a small file is, and it is not necessary for the case I have, at
least, where the file is not modified or touched, and so its inode will
match the cache.
git-annex add was changed, when adding a small file, to remove the inode
cache for it. This is necessary to keep the recipe in
doc/tips/largefiles.mdwn for converting from annex to git working.
It also avoids bugs/case_where_using_pathspec_with_git-commit_leaves_s.mdwn
which the earlier try at this change introduced.
Fix behavior of several commands, including reinject, addurl, and rmurl
when given an absolute path to an unlocked file, or a relative path that
leaves and re-enters the repository.
To avoid slowing down all the cases where the paths are already ok
with an unncessary call to getCurrentDirectory, put in an optimisation
in relPathCwdToFile. That will probably also speed up other parts of
git-annex by some small amount, but I have not benchmarked.
Note that I did not convert branchFileRef, because it seems likely that
it will be used with a file that is not provided by the user, so is already
in a sane format. This is certainly true for the way git-annex uses it,
though maybe arguable to the extent Git.Ref is a reusable library.

fromkey: Create an unlocked file when used in an adjusted branch where the

There is some overlap with code in Annex.Ingest, however it's not quite the
same because ingesting has a temp file with the content, where here the
content, if any, is in the annex object file. So it eg, makes sense for
Annex.Ingest to copy the execute mode of the content file, but it does not make
sense for fromkey to do that.
Also changed in passing to stage the file in git directly, rather than
using git add. One consequence of that is that if the file is gitignored,
it will still get added, rather than the old behavior:
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
ignored
hint: Use -f if you really want to add them.
hint: Turn this message off by running
hint: "git config advice.addIgnoredFile false"
git-annex: user error (xargs ["-0","git","--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","add","--"] exited 123)
That old behavior was a surprise to me, and so I consider it a bug, and doubt
anyone would have relied on it.
Note that, when on an --hide-missing branch, it is possible to fromkey a key
that is not present (needs --force). The annex link or pointer file still gets
written in this case. It doesn't seem to make any sense not to write it,
because then fromkey would not do anything useful in this case, and this way
the file can be committed and synced to master, and the branch re-adjusted to
hide the new missing file.

* Fix bug that could make git-annex importfeed not see recently recorded
state when configured with annex.alwayscommit=false.
* importfeed: Made "checking known urls" phase run 12 times faster.
The massive speedup is because it no longer queries for metadata
accompanying each url. Instead it processes the whole git-annex branch and
checks all metadata files for feed item ids, and uses any it finds.
This could result in a behavior change, in an unlikely situation: If a feed
id is recorded in a key's metadata, but the url gets removed, the old code
would not see that item id and would re-download it if it finds an url for
it in a feed, while the new code will see the item id. I don't think
the old behavior was intentional, and it may be that the new behavior is
better. Not gonna worry about this.
Fix bug caused by recent optimisations that could make git-annex not see
recently recorded status information when configured with
annex.alwayscommit=false.
When not using --all, precaching only gets triggered when the
command actually needs location logs, and so there's no speed hit there.
This is a minor speed hit for --all, because it precaches even when the
location log is not actually going to be used, and so checking the journal
is not necessary. It would have been possible to defer checking the journal
until the cache gets used. But that would complicate the usual Branch.get
code path with two different kinds of caches, and the speed hit is really
minimal. A better way to speed up --all, later, would be to avoid
precaching at all when the location log is not going to be used.

- Annex.Branch, which doesn't fail if it has some other name, but just
doesn't set up the git-annex branch with quite as linear a history in
that case.
directory: When cp supports reflinks, use it when getting content from a
directory special remote.
Not yet for imports from directory though, and not for store.
Note that, when it's chunked, using cp --reflink would not speed it up, and
when reflink was not supported, would unnecessarily write the chunk to a
file before reading it back in. So, only using a fileRetriever in the
NoChunks case is necessary to keep chunking fast.
fileCopier is told not to verify, because the special remote interface
does not yet support verification in passing. AFAICS, fileCopies can
never return False when not verifying so the added giveup should never
actually happen.
When downloading content from a remote, if the content is able to be
verified during the transfer, skip checksumming it a second time.
Note that in this case, the fsck output does not include "(checksum)"
which it does when the checksumming is done separately from the download.

When git-annex transferrer started up, and the journal contained something,
it would commit it to the git-annex branch. This caused excess commits to
the branch, in cases where normally several changes would be journalled and
committed together. That generated some excess git objects and was also
just noisy on stdout.
Since transferrer uses enableInteractiveBranchAccess, it does not need to
commit journalled changes, since the optimisation that avoids checking
the journal when reading from the branch is disabled for processes that
call that.

persistent stopped using askLogFunc, and the thing to use is askLoggerIO
from monad-logger. Bumped the dep to the first version that contained that.
Note that the i386ancient build uses a newer monad-logger than 0.3.10,
so the new versioned dep should not break it, and presumably nothing else
either.

Which generated unusual git trees that could confuse git merge,
since they incorrectly had 2 subtrees with the same name.
Root of the bug was a) not testing that at all! but also
b) confusing graftdirs, which contains eg "foo/bar" with
non-recursively read trees, which would contain eg "bar"
when reading a subtree of "foo".
It's worth noting that Annex.Import uses graftTree, but it really
shouldn't have needed to. Eg, when importing into foo/bar from a remote,
it's enough to generate a tree of foo/bar/x, foo/bar/y, and does not
include other files that are at the top of the master branch. It uses
graftTree, so it does include the other files, as well as the foo/bar
tree. git merge will do the same thing for both trees. With that said,
switching it away from graftTree would result in another import
generating a new commit that seems to delete files that were there in a
previous commit, so it probably has to keep using graftTree since it
used it before.

Note that a key with no size field that is hard linked will
result in listImportableContents reporting a file size of 0,
rather than the actual size of the file. One result is that
the progress meter when getting the file will seem to get stuck
at 100%. Another is that the remote's preferred content expression,
if it tries to match against file size, will treat it as an empty file.
I don't see a way to improve the latter behavior, and the former behavior
is a minor enough problem.

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.

It changed parseOnly in the ByteString.Lazy module to take a lazy, not
strict ByteString. In all these cases though, we actually had a strict
ByteString, so the most efficient fix, which also happens to avoid needing
ifdefs, is to use the non-lazy module instead.

Seems that hasOrigin was never finding origin's git-annex branch, so a new
one got created each time. And so then it later needed to merge the two
branches, which is expensive.
Added --no-track to git branch to avoid it displaying a message about
setting up tracking branches. Of course there's no reason to make the
git-annex branch a tracking branch since git-annex auto-merges it.
Can beet to false to avoid some expensive things needed to support unlocked
files.
See my comment for why this only controls what init sets up, and not other
behavior.
I didn't bother with making the v5 upgrade code path look at this, though
it easily could, because the docs say to run git-annex init after setting
it to make it take effect.
I don't think this was really intentional behavior. It may be that it was
useful to include it so it could be passed to rmurl, since without it rmurl
would not actually remove the url. Since that was changed earlier today,
now seems like a good time to clean up the display of these urls.

box.com already had a special case, since its renaming was known buggy.
In its case, renaming to the temp file succeeds, but then renaming the temp
file to final destination fails.
Then this 4shared server has buggy handling of renames across directories.
While already worked around with for the temp files when storing exports
now being in the same directory as the final filename, that also affected
renameExport when the file moves between directories.
I'm not entirely clear what happens on the 4shared server when it fails
this way. It kind of looks like it may rename the file to destination and
then still fail.
To handle both, when rename fails, delete both the source and the
destination, and fall back to uploading the content again. In the box.com
case, the temp file is the source, and deleting it makes sure the temp file
gets cleaned up. In the 4shared case, the file may have been renamed to the
destination and so cleaning that up avoids any interference with the
re-upload to the destination.
unregisterurl: Fix a bug that caused an url to not be unregistered when it
is claimed by a special remote other than the web.
See commit f175d4cc90 for rationalle.
* rmurl: When youtube-dl was used for an url, it no longer needs to be
prefixed with "yt:" in order to be removed.
* rmurl: If an url is both used by the web and also claimed by another
special remote, fix a bug that caused the url to to not be removed.
The youtube-dl change is a consequence of how the bug fix is implemented.
But I also think it's the right thing to do. Consider that, before,
git-annex addurl $url followed by git-annex rmurl $url would not remove the
url in the case where youtube-dl was used. That was surprising behavior.
In the unlikely case where a special remote claims an url, and it's been
added using OtherDownloader, but it was also added already as a web url,
it seems better for rmurl to remove both than to arbitrarily remove only one.
And in the case the bug report was filed for, when an url was added as a
web url, but a special remote now claims it, that should not prevent rmurl
removing the web url.
Calling setUrlMissing lets other callers of it behave differently.
Probably the calls to it in eg, Remote.External and Remote.BitTorrent are
fine, since they don't mangle the url and just remove what was provided,
and the OtherDownloader form of a bittorrent url, respectively.
I suspect unregisterurl needs to have a similar change made to rmurl, for
similar reasons.
When autoenabling special remotes of type S3, weddav, or glacier, do not
take login credentials from environment variables, as the user may not be
expecting the autoenable to happen, and may have those set for other
purposes.
Like import was using ActionItemWorkTreeFile, it's ok to use it for export,
even though it might not correspond with a file in the work tree.
And renamed it to ActionItemTreeFile to make that clearer.
Note that when an export has to rename files, it still uses
ActionItemOther, so file will still be null in that case, but as no file is
being transferred, that seems ok.
import: When the previously exported tree contained a submodule,
preserve it in the imported tree so it does not get deleted.
The export exclude log, which was used for non-preferred content,
now also includes the submodules. Since the log format is git ls-tree
output, this does not break backwards compatibility.
This mostly affects OSX and (possibly) Windows, but the Windows
installer does not bundle git. The linux standalone builds are not
updated yet pending debian stable getting a backport of the security
fix, but the security hole is unlikely to affect linux as
case-insensitive filesystems that support symlinks are a rarity on it.
Using the linux standalone build on windows via WSL is another way it
could be affected.

Which access a remote using rsync over ssh, and which git pushes to much
more efficiently than ssh urls.
There was some old partial support for rsync URIs from 2013, but it seemed
incomplete, and did not use rsync over ssh. Weird.
I'm not sure if there's any remaining benefit to using the non-rsync url
forms with gcrypt, now that this is implemented? Updated docs to encourage
using the rsync urls.
This commit was sponsored by Svenne Krap on Patreon.
Git.Remote.parseRemoteLocation had a hack to handle URIs that contained
characters like spaces, which is something git unfortunately allows
despite not being a valid URI. However, that hack looked for "//" to
guess something was an URI, and these gcrypt URIs, being to a local
path, don't contain that. So instead escape all illegal characters and
check if the resulting thing is an URI.
And that was already done by Git.Construct.fromUrl, so
internally the gcrypt URI with a space looks like "gcrypt::foo%20bar"
and that needs to be de-escaped when converting back from URI to local
repo path.
This change might also allow a few other almost-valid URIs to be handled
as URIs by git-annex. None that contain "//" will change, and any
behavior change should result in git-annex doing closer to a right thing
than it did before, probably.

Previously such nonsensical combinations always treated the matching option
as if it didn't match.
For now, made find --branch refuse matching options that need a
filename, because one is not provided to them in a way they'll use.
There's an open bug report to support it, but making it error out is
better than the old behavior of not finding what it was asked to.
Also, made --mimetype combined with eg --all work, by looking at the
object file when operating on keys.
Implemented by generalizing registerurl. Without the implicit batch mode
of registerurl since that is only a backwards compatability thing
(see commit 1d1054faa6).
unannex, uninit: When an annexed file is modified, don't overwrite the
modified version with an older version from the annex
This commit was sponsored by Mark Reidenbach on Patreon.
This benchmarks only slightly faster than the old git-annex. Eg, for a 1
gb file, 14.56s vs 15.57s. (On a ram disk; there would certianly be
more of an effect if the file was written to disk and didn't stay in
cache.)
Commenting out the updateIncremental calls make the same run in 6.31s.
May be that overhead in the implementation, other than the actual
checksumming, is slowing it down. Eg, MVar access.
(I also tried using 10x larger chunks, which did not change the speed.)
Changing to the P2P protocol broke this, because preseedTmp copies
the local copy of the object to the temp file, and then the P2P transfer
sees the right length file and uses it as-is.
When git-annex-shell is too old and rsync is used, it did verify the
content, and when the local repo does not have the object it did verify the
content.
Checksum as content is received from a remote git-annex repository, rather
than doing it in a second pass.
Not tested at all yet, but I imagine it will work!
Not implemented for any special remotes, and also not implemented for
copies from local remotes. It may be that, for local remotes, it will
suffice to use rsync, rely on its checksumming, and simply return Verified.
(It would still make a checksumming pass when cp is used for COW, I guess.)
See my comment in the next commit for some details about why
Verified needs a hash with preimage resistance. As far as tahoe goes,
it's fully cryptographically secure.
I think that bup could also return Verified. However, the Retriever
interface does not currenly support that.
When a git remote is configured with an absolute path, use that path,
rather than making it relative. If it's configured with a relative path,
use that.
Git.Construct.fromPath changed to preserve the path as-is,
rather than making it absolute. And Annex.new changed to not
convert the path to relative. Instead, Git.CurrentRepo.get
generates a relative path.
A few things that used fromAbsPath unncessarily were changed in passing to
use fromPath instead. I'm seeing fromAbsPath as a security check,
while before it was being used in some cases when the path was
known absolute already. It may be that fromAbsPath is not really needed,
but only git-annex-shell uses it now, and I'm not 100% sure that there's
not some input that would cause a relative path to be used, opening a
security hole, without the security check. So left it as-is.
Test suite passes and strace shows the configured remote url is used
unchanged in the path into it. I can't be 100% sure there's not some code
somewhere that takes an absolute path to the repo and converts it to
relative and uses it, but it seems pretty unlikely that the code paths used
for a git remote would call such code. One place I know of is gitAnnexLink,
but I'm pretty sure that git remotes never deal with annex symlinks. If
that did get called, it generates a path relative to cwd, which would have
been wrong before this change as well, when operating on a remote.
When annex.stalldetection is not enabled, and a likely stall is detected,
display a suggestion to enable it.
Note that the progress meter display is not taken down when displaying
the message, so it will display like this:
0% 8 B 0 B/s
Transfer seems to have stalled. To handle stalling transfers, configure annex.stalldetection
0% 10 B 0 B/s
Although of course if it's really stalled, it will never update
again after the message. Taking down the progress meter and starting
a new one doesn't seem too necessary given how unusual this is,
also this does help show the state it was at when it stalled.
Use of uninterruptibleCancel here is ok, the thread it's canceling
only does STM transactions and sleeps. The annex thread that gets
forked off is separate to avoid it being canceled, so that it
can be joined back at the end.
A module cycle required moving from dupState the precaching of the
remote list. Doing it at startConcurrency should cover all the cases
where the remote list is used in concurrent actions.

Seems only fair, that, like git runs git-annex, git-annex runs
git-annex-foo.
Implementation relies on O.forwardOptions, so that any options are passed
through to the addon program. Note that this includes options before the
subcommand, eg: git-annex -cx=y foo
Unfortunately, git-annex eats the --help/-h options.
This is because it uses O.hsubparser, which injects that option into each
subcommand. Seems like this should be possible to avoid somehow, to let
commands display their own --help, instead of the dummy one git-annex
displays.
The two step searching mirrors how git works, it makes finding
git-annex-foo fast when "git annex foo" is run, but will also support fuzzy
matching, once findAllAddonCommands gets implemented.

I suspect this is a bug in cabal sdist, because with
Includes: Utility/libkqueue.h
the file is not included, but putting it in extra-files does
get it into the tarball.
Fix an oddity in matching options and preferred content expressions such as
"foo (bar or baz)", which was incorrectly handled as if it were "(foo or
bar) and baz)" rather than the intended "foo and (bar or baz)"
Seemed like a change to consume should be able to handle this case
better, but I was having trouble writing it that way, so instead added
a separate pass that inserts the implicit ands explicitly. Also added
several test cases to make sure versions with and without explicit ands
generate the same.
Missed this when implementing it because of the default case catching
the new constructor. So, removed that default case to make sure
future types of adjusted branches don't make the same mistake.
Complicated by git-annex addurl --fast which adds the file whose content
is not present, so it needs to stay unlocked when on such a branch.

Fixed that, and made parserLsTree accept the space as well as tab.

Avoids the smudge --clean filter failing because URL keys do not support
genKey. Instead the modified content will be added using the default
backend.
This commit was sponsored by Jochen Bartl on Patreon.
This avoids the smudge --clean filter failing on the URL keys.
git checkout runs the post-checkout hook, which runs smudge --update.
That populates all the pointer files, but it neglected to store their inode
caches in the keys db. With that done, and the keys db flushed before
smudge --clean gets run (by restagePointerFile), the isUnmodifiedCheap
check can tell the file is not modified, so will not try to re-ingest it,
which does not work with URL keys because they do not support genKey.
It also seems possible that the isUnmodifiedCheap was also failing for
non-URL keys, which would cause them to be re-ingested, leading to a lot of
extra work. I have not verified that, but don't see why it wouldn't have
happened. So this probably also speeds up checking out adjusted branches.

This is probably a reversion, but not sure what caused it. By the time
Annex.Init runs fixupUnusualReposAfterInit, another git-annex process has
at least sometimes already done the necessary fixups. (Eg, one run
indirectly by a git command.) But since the Repo is cached, it doesn't
realize and does them again. So, avoid crashing when git config --unset
fails.

Directory special remotes with importtree=yes now avoid unncessary overhead
when inodes of files have changed, as happens whenever a FAT filesystem
gets remounted.
A few unusual edge cases of modifications won't be detected and
imported. I think they're unusual enough not to be a concern. It would
be possible to add a config setting that controls whether to compare
inodes too, but does not seem worth bothering the user about currently.
I chose to continue to use the InodeCache serialization, just with the
inode zeroed. This way, if I later change my mind or make it
configurable, can parse it back to an InodeCache and operate on it. The
overhead of storing a 0 in the content identifier log seems worth it.
There is a one-time cost to this change; all directory special remotes
with importtree=yes will re-hash all files once, and will update the
content identifier logs with zeroed inodes.

Including the non-standard URI form that git-remote-gcrypt uses for rsync.
Eg, "ook://foo:bar" cannot be parsed because "bar" is not a valid port
number. But git could have a remote with that, it would try to run
git-remote-ook to handle it. So, git-annex has to allow for such things,
rather than crashing.

Since that can lead to data loss, which should never be enabled by an
option other than --force.
I suppose that using --trust was in some situation, safer than --force,
because it doesn't entirely disable checking for data loss, but only
disables checking involving data that is on the specified repository.
But it seems better to be able to say that data loss only happens with
--force.
This commit was sponsored by Graham Spencer on Patreon.
Since unconsidered use of trusted repositories can lead to data loss.
Trusted has always been this way, but it used to be acceptable for
git-annex to be set up so that data could be lost without using --force,
and most or all other ways that can happen have already been eliminated.

This is conceptually very simple, just making a 1 that was hard coded be
exposed as a config option. The hard part was plumbing all that, and
dealing with complexities like reading it from git attributes at the
same time that numcopies is read.
Behavior change: When numcopies is set to 0, git-annex used to drop
content without requiring any copies. Now to get that (highly unsafe)
behavior, mincopies also needs to be set to 0. It seemed better to
remove that edge case, than complicate mincopies by ignoring it when
numcopies is 0.
