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.
git -c was already propagated via environment, but need this for
consistency.
Also, notice it does not use gitAnnexChildProcess to run the
transferrer. So nothing is done about avoid it taking the
pid lock. It's possible that the caller is already doing something that
took the pid lock, and if so, the transferrer will certianly fail,
since it needs to take the pid lock too. This may prevent combining
annex.stalldetection with annex.pidlock, but I have not verified it's
really a problem. If it was, it seems git-annex would have to take
the pid lock when starting a transferrer, and hold it until shutdown,
or would need to take pid lock when starting to use a transferrer,
and hold it until done with a transfer and then drop it. The latter
would require starting the transferrer with pid locking disabled for the
child process, so assumes that the transferrer does not do anyting that
needs locking when not running a transfer.
* Guard against running in a repo where annex.uuid is set but
annex.version is set, or vice-versa.
* Avoid autoinit when a repo does not have annex.version or annex.uuid
set, but has a git-annex objects directory, suggesting it was used
by git-annex before.
It's not concurrent-output safe, and doesn't support
--json-error-messages.
Using Annex.makeRunner is a bit scary, because what if it's run in a
different thread from an active annex action? Normally the same Annex
state is not used concurrently in several threads, and it's not designed
to be fully concurrency safe. (Annex.Concurrent exists to deal with
that.) I think it will be ok in these simple cases though. Eg,
when buffering a warning message to json, Annex.changeState is used,
and it modifies the MVar in a concurrency safe way.
The only warningIO remaining is not a problem.
9cb250f7be got the ones in RawFilePath,
but there were others that used the one from unix-compat, which fails at
runtime on windows. To avoid this,
import System.PosixCompat.Files hiding removeLink
This commit was sponsored by Ethan Aubin.
nukeFile replaced with removeWhenExistsWith removeLink, which allows
using RawFilePath. Utility.Directory cannot use RawFilePath since setup
does not depend on posix.

Those are not installed by git-annex but by the user, and so removal
will never find the default content, and so if the user did install
them, it would display a misleading message.
Seems better, since the user installed them, to let the user remove them
if they want to.
Fixes reversion in 8.20200617 that made annex.pidlock being enabled result
in some commands stalling, particularly those needing to autoinit.
Renamed runsGitAnnexChildProcess to make clearer where it should be
used.
Arguably, it would be better to have a way to make any process git-annex
runs have the env var set. But then it would need to take the pid lock
when running any and all processes, and that would be a problem when
git-annex runs two processes concurrently. So, I'm left doing it ad-hoc
in places where git-annex really does run a child process, directly
or indirectly via a particular git command.
* Improve display of problems auto-initializing or upgrading local git
remotes.
* When a local git remote cannot be initialized because it has no
git-annex branch or a .noannex file, avoid displaying a message about it.
Some recent changes to use mask missed that async exceptions can still
be thrown inside it. The goal is to make sure a block of cleanup code
runs entirely, w/o being interrupted by an async exception, so use
uninterruptibleMask.
Also, converted a few to bracket, which is nicer.
Audited for openFile and openFd, and this fixes all the ones I found
where an async exception could prevent the file getting closed.
Except for the lock pool, which is a whole other can of worms.
Not yet 100% done, so far I've grepped for waitForProcess and converted
everything that uses that to start the process with withCreateProcess.
Except for some things like P2P.IO and Assistant.TransferrerPool,
and Utility.CoProcess, that manage a pool of processes. See #2
in https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/more_extensive_retries_to_mask_transient_failures/#comment-209f8a8c38e63fb3a704e1282cb269c7
for how those will need to be dealt with.
checkSuccessProcess, ignoreFailureProcess, and forceSuccessProcess calls waitForProcess, so
callers of them will also need to be dealt with, and have not been yet.
Try to enable special remotes configured with autoenable=yes when git-annex
auto-initialization happens in a new clone of an existing repo. Previously,
git-annex init had to be explicitly run to enable them. That was a bit of a
wart of a special case for users to need to keep in mind.
Special remotes cannot display anything when autoenabled this way, to avoid
interfering with the output of git-annex query commands.
Any error messages will be hidden, and if it fails, nothing is displayed.
The user will realize the remote isn't enable when they try to use it,
and can run git-annex init manually then to try the autoenable again and
see what failed.
That seems like a reasonable approach, and it's less complicated than
communicating something across a pipe in order to display it as a side
message. Other reason not to do that is that, if the first command the
user runs is one like git-annex find that has machine readable output,
any message about autoenable failing would need to not be displayed anyway.
So better to not display a failure message ever, for consistency.
(Had to split out Remote.List.Util to avoid an import cycle.)
This means it will still be a .git file when git-annex init runs. That's
ok, the repo probably contains no annexed objects yet, and even if it does,
git-annex init does not care if symlinks in the worktree don't point to the
objects.
I made init, at the end, run the conversion code. Not really necessary
because the next git-annex command could do it just as well. But, this
avoids commands that don't normally write to the repo needing to write to
it, which might avoid some problem or other, and seems worth avoiding
generally.
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.
The parser and looking up config keys in the map should both be faster
due to using ByteString.
I had hoped this would speed up startup time, but any improvement to
that was too small to measure. Seems worth keeping though.
Note that the parser breaks up the ByteString, but a config map ends up
pointing to the config as read, which is retained in memory until every
value from it is no longer used. This can change memory usage
patterns marginally, but won't affect git-annex.
It's not necessary. And if the bare repo somehow has a pointer
file in it with the same name as a file in HEAD, that file would be
populated, which would be surprising since the file is not really under
git's control.
Fix bug that lost modifications to unlocked files when init is re-ran in an
already initialized repo.
In retrospect needing scanUnlockedFiles False in the direct mode upgrade
path was a good hint that it was unsafe when used with True.
However, this bug did not affect upgrade from v5. In such an upgrade, an
unlocked file that is modified is left as-is. The only place
scanUnlockedFiles True did overwrite modified unlocked files is during an
git-annex init of a repo that was already initialized by git-annex.
(I also tried a scenario where the repo had not been initialized by
git-annex yet, but was cloned from a v7 repo with an unlocked file, and the
pointer file replaced with some other content, and the data loss did not
occur in that situation.)
Since the fixed scanUnlockedFiles avoids overwriting non-pointer files,
it should be safe to run in any situation, so there's no need any longer
for the parameter.
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.
Can be set to false to prevent any automatic repository upgrades.
Also, removed direct mode specific upgrade code in Annex.Init, and made
needsUpgrade always include the name/path of the repo, so if
there's a problem it's clear what repo has the problem.
And, made needsUpgrade catch any exceptions that might occur during the
upgrade, so it can display a more useful error message than just the
exception.
* Automatically convert direct mode repositories to v7 with adjusted
unlocked branches and set annex.thin.
* init: When run on a crippled filesystem with --version=5,
will error out, since version 7 is needed for adjusted unlocked branch.
* direct: This command always errors out as direct mode is no longer
supported.
* indirect: This command has become a deprecated noop.
* proxy: This command is deprecated because it was only needed in direct
mode. (But it continues to work.)
Also removed mentions of direct mode throughough the documentation.
I have not removed all the direct mode code yet.
When upgrading a direct mode repo to v7 with adjusted unlocked branches,
fix a bug that prevented annex.thin from taking effect for the files in
working tree.
The hard links used to be ok, but commit 8e22114735 accidentially
broke them. It repopulates the worktree file, which is already a hard link,
and when it's creating the new file, the link count is already 2, and so it
doesn't make a hard link then.
init: Fix a reversion in the last release that prevented automatically
generating and setting a description for the repository.
Seemed best to factor out uuidDescMapRaw that does not
have the default mempty descrition behavior.
I don't much like that behavior, but I know things depend on it.
One thing in particular is `git annex info` which lists the uuids and
descriptions; if the current repo has been initialized in some way that
means it does not have a description, it would not show up w/o that.
(Not only repos created due to this bug might lack that. For example a repo
that was marked dead and had --drop-dead delete its git-annex branch info,
and then came back from the dead would similarly not be in the uuid.log.
Also there have been other versions of git-annex that didn't set a default
description; for years there was no default description.)
* init: When the repository already has a description, don't change it.
* describe: When run with no description parameter it used to set
the description to "", now it will error out.
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.)
Avoid performing repository fixups for submodules and git-worktrees
when there's a .noannex file that will prevent git-annex from being
used in the repository.
This change is ok as long as the .noannex file is really going to prevent
git-annex from being used. But, init --force could override the file.
Which would result in the repo being initialized without the fixups
having run.
To avoid that situation decided to change init, to not let --force be used
to override a .noannex file. Instead the user can just delete the file.
