options make it easier to override annex.largefiles configuration
(and potentially safer as it avoids bugs like the smudge bug fixed
in the last release)
Deleted some old comments that were posted to the man page discussing such
options.
Updated docs that used -c annex.largefiles to use the options.
Note that addSmallOverridden was needed to avoid the clean filter running
on the file. It would be possible to make addFile also update the index
directly, rather than going via git add. However, it was not necessary,
and I want to avoid breaking on some edge case, particularly if the code in
addSmallOverridden has some oversight.
Also, when annex.addunlocked is set and annex.largefiles does not match a file,
git annex add --force-large works, but git status will then show the file
as added, with a unstaged modification. The unstaged modification adds the
file to git. This is identical behavior to using -c annex.largefiles=nothing
when annex.addunlocked is set. This does not prevent committing what was
intended to be added. I have not gotten to the bottom of why git thinks
the file is modified and runs it through the clean filter in this case.
smudge: When annex.largefiles=anything, files that were already stored in
git, and have not been modified could sometimes be converted to being
stored in the annex. Changes in 7.20191024 made this more of a problem.
This case is now detected and prevented.
The git add behavior changes could be avoided if it turns out to be
really annoying, but then it would need to behave the old way when
annex.dotfiles=false and the new way when annex.dotfiles=true. I'd
rather not have the config option result in such divergent behavior as
`git annex add .` skipping a dotfile (old) vs adding to annex (new).
Note that the assistant always adds dotfiles to the annex.
This is surprising, but not new behavior. Might be worth making it also
honor annex.dotfiles, but I wonder if perhaps some user somewhere uses
it and keeps large files in a directory that happens to begin with a
dot. Since dotfiles and dotdirs are a unix culture thing, and the
assistant users may not be part of that culture, it seems best to keep
its current behavior for now.
eg, `git-annex get . ..` used to order the files strangly, because it
did not realize that when git ls-files output eg "foo", that should be
grouped with the first set of files and not the second set.
Fixed by making dirContains "." "./foo" = True
which makes sense, because dirContains ".." "../foo" = True
* annex.addunlocked can be set to an expression with the same format used by
annex.largefiles, in case you want to default to unlocking some files but
not others.
* annex.addunlocked can be configured by git-annex config.
Added a git-annex-matching-expression man page, broken out from
tips/largefiles.
A tricky consequence of this is that git-annex add --relaxed
honors annex.addunlocked, but an expression might want to know the size
or content of an url, which it's not going to download. I decided it was
better not to fail, and just dummy up some plausible data in that case.
Performance impact should be negligible. The global config is already
loaded for annex.largefiles. The expression only has to be parsed once,
and in the simple true/false case, it should not do any additional work
matching it.
e53070c1f quietly made it set the local git config too, but that was never
documented anywhere, and it had surprising results. If I set
annex.largefiles globally in a repo, I would expect to be able to change it
in another repo, and the original repo would get the change and use it,
rather than being stuck on the old value set there.
And, if I have a local annex.largefiles and set a different global default,
I'd be surprised to have my local setting overwritten.
annex.securehashesonly does need to be set locally, since it's a security
feature and the global is only a default until it gets set locally. So
special cased.
annex.largefiles can be configured by git-annex config, to more easily set
a default that will also be used by clones, without needing to shoehorn the
expression into the gitattributes file. The git config and gitattributes
override that.
Whenever something is added to git-annex config, we have to consider what
happens if a user puts a purposfully bad value in there. Or, if a new
git-annex adds some new value that an old git-annex can't parse.
In this case, a global annex.largefiles that can't be parsed currently
makes an error be thrown. That might not be ideal, but the gitattribute
behaves the same, and is almost equally repo-global.
Performance notes:
git-annex add and addurl construct a matcher once
and uses it for every file, so the added time penalty for reading the global
config log is minor. If the gitattributes annex.largefiles were deprecated,
git-annex add would get around 2% faster (excluding hashing), because
looking that up for each file is not fast. So this new way of setting
it is progress toward speeding up add.
git-annex smudge does need to load the log every time. As well as checking
the git attribute. Not ideal. Setting annex.gitaddtoannex=false avoids
both overheads.
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.
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.
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.
Used to work but was broken in version 7.20181031, specifically commit
5ab0f48ffb.
That this was not noticed over at least 1 daylight savings time zone
changes makes me wonder if the TSDelta stuff is still needed.
Perhaps the mtime on Windows no longer changes when the time zone is changed?
(cherry picked from commit 09ee6b0ccb)
* benchmark: Changed --databases to take a parameter specifiying the size
of the database to benchmark.
* benchmark --databases: Display size of the populated database.
* benchmark --databases: Improve the "addAssociatedFile to (new)"
benchmark to really add new values, not overwriting old values.
Eg:
git clone url --bare r
git --git-dir r annex init
This resulted in worktree = Just "." and so several things that check
worktree to determine when the repo is bare ran code paths intended for
non-bare. One such code path[1] ran git checkout with --worktree=. which
actually makes it ignore core.bare config, and so the current directory
got populated with a checkout of the master branch in this example. There
was probably also other breakage.
The fix is a bit complicated because whether the repo is bare is not
known until after Git.Config reads the config, but Git.Config handles
setting the RepoLocations's worktree when core.worktree is set. So have
to assume the worktree is the cwd, let core.worktree override that,
and then if the repo turns out to be bare, it's set back to Nothing.
(And then GIT_WORK_TREE can still override all of that.)
[1] switchHEADBack, which runs even when the clone is not from a bare repo.
* git-lfs: The url provided to initremote/enableremote will now be
stored in the git-annex branch, allowing enableremote to be used without
an url. initremote --sameas can be used to add additional urls.
* git-lfs: When there's a git remote with an url that's known to be
used for git-lfs, automatically enable the special remote.
Reasons to do this include:
1. I've gotten pretty used to git-annex's own progress display, which is
used for all transfers over ssh (except to old git-annex-shell),
and for most special remote transfers. It's getting to seem weird to see
the rsync progress display instead.
2. When -J was used, the rsync output could not be shown, and so there was
no progress display. Now there will be.
Progress will also be displayed now when cp CoW is used. But I'd expect a CoW
copy to typically run so fast that the progress display will barely be
noticable.

So that binaries in that directory can find the library next to them,
where they get modified to look.
This is a hack; it would be better for OSXMkLibs to build a list of what
libraries are needed where.
Unsure if this is needed due to a recent reversion, or is an older
problem, so updated changelog accordingly.
Putting the binaries in bundle/git-core/bin didn't work on OSX,
linker can't find the libraries next to those binaries where it expects to.
So instead put the binaries in the progDir.
See the comment for a trace of the deadlock.
Added a new StartStage. New worker threads begin in the StartStage.
Once a thread is ready to do work, it moves away from the StartStage,
and no thread will ever transition back to it.
A thread that blocks waiting on another thread that is processing
the same key will block while in the StartStage. That other thread
will never switch back to the StartStage, and so the deadlock is avoided.
Convert Utility.Url to return Either String so the error message can be
displated in the annex monad and so captured.
(When curl is used, its errors are still not caught.)

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.
Rescued from commit 11d6e2e260 which removed
db benchmarks in favor of benchmarking arbitrary git-annex commands. Which
is nice and general, but microbenchmarks are useful too.
Code change should be trvial, but not yet implemented. This
significantly complicated the task of documenting how git-annex works.
I'm not sure how useful the annex.gitaddtoannex confguration is after
this change; seems that if a user has an annex.largefiles they will want
it applied consistently. But the last thing I want to hear is more
complaining from users about git add doing something they don't want it
to.
There's a pretty high risk users who got used to the git add behavior
and don't have annex.largefiles configured will miss the NEWS and
complain bitterly about their suddenly bloated repositories. Oh well.
Removed outdated comments about the old behavior to avoid confusion.
I don't know if I've found all the places that griping spread to.
Added annex.gitaddtoannex configuration. Setting it to false prevents
git add from usually adding files to the annex.
(Unless the file was annexed before, or a renamed annexed file is detected.)
Currently left at true; some users are encouraging it be set to false.
When the submodule's parent repo has an adjusted unlocked branch,
it gets cloned by git, but git checks out master. git annex init then
fails because it wants to enter the adjusted branch, but:
adjusted branch adjusted/master(unlocked) already exists.
Aborting because that branch may have changes that have not yet reached master
Note that init actually then exits 0, leaving master checked out.
This could also happen, absent submodules, if the parent repo has
an adjusted unlocked branch, but it is not checked out. In the more common
case where that branch is checked out, the clone uses the same branch,
so no problem.
The choices to fix this:
* Init could delete the existing adjusted branch, and re-adjust.
But then running init inside an adjusted branch on a crippled filesystem
would lose any changes that have not been synced back to master.
* Init could sync any changes back to master, but that would be very surprising
behavior for it.
* Init could simply check out the existing adjusted branch. If the branch
is diverged from master, well, sync will sort that out later.
This mirrors the behavior of cloning a repo that has an adjusted branch
checked out that has not yet been synced back to master.
Picked this choice.
Homebrew now has eg:
datalads-imac:~ joey$ ls -l /Users/joey/homebrew/Cellar/git/2.23.0/libexec/git-core
total 36776
lrwxr-xr-x 1 joey staff 13 Aug 29 13:38 git -> ../../bin/git
lrwxr-xr-x 1 joey staff 13 Aug 29 13:38 git-add -> ../../bin/git
So the target of the symlink also needs to be installed now.
Doing it in shell code was too hairy for my dentistry-addled brain, so
reimplemented in haskell. Also using it for building linuxstandalone.
forget --drop-dead: Remove several classes of git-annex log files when they
become empty, further reducing the size of the git-annex branch.
Noticed while testing sameas uuid removal, but it could happen other times
too.
An empty log file is always treated by git-annex the same as no file
being present, and when the files are per-key, it can be a sizable space
saving to exclude them from the tree.
This solves the problem of sameas remotes trampling over per-remote
state. Used for:
* per-remote state, of course
* per-remote metadata, also of course
* per-remote content identifiers, because two remote implementations
could in theory generate the same content identifier for two different
peices of content
While chunk logs are per-remote data, they don't use this, because the
number and size of chunks stored is a common property across sameas
remotes.
External special remote had a complication, where it was theoretically
possible for a remote to send SETSTATE or GETSTATE during INITREMOTE or
EXPORTSUPPORTED. Since the uuid of the remote is typically generate in
Remote.setup, it would only be possible to pass a Maybe
RemoteStateHandle into it, and it would otherwise have to construct its
own. Rather than go that route, I decided to send an ERROR in this case.
It seems unlikely that any existing external special remote will be
affected. They would have to make up a git-annex key, and set state for
some reason during INITREMOTE. I can imagine such a hack, but it doesn't
seem worth complicating the code in such an ugly way to support it.
Unfortunately, both TestRemote and Annex.Import needed the Remote
to have a new field added that holds its RemoteStateHandle.
Work around git cat-file --batch's odd stripping of carriage return from
the end of the line (some windows infection), avoiding crashing when the
repo contains a filename ending in a carriage return.
When dropping an unlocked file, preserve its mtime, which avoids git status
unncessarily running the clean filter on the file.
If the index file has close to the same mtime as a work tree file, git will
not trust the index to be up-to-date, and re-runs the clean filter
unncessarily. Preserving the mtime when depopulating a pointer file avoids
git status doing a little (or maybe a lot) of unncessary work.
There are other places that the mtime could be preserved, including other
places where pointer files are written perhaps, but also
populatePointerFile. But, I don't know of cases where those lead to git
status doing unncessary work, so I just fixed the one I'm aware of for now.
fsck --incremental/--more: Fix bug that prevented the incremental fsck
information from being updated every 5 minutes as it was supposed to be; it
was only updated after 1000 files were checked, which may be more files
that are possible to fsck in a given fsck time window.
Thanks to Peter Simons for help with analysis of this bug.
Auditing for other cases of the same mistake, the keys db also had it
backwards. This seems unlikely to really have been a problem;
it would need associated files updates etc to be coming in slowly for some
reason and then be interrupted to cause any problem.
IIRC the design of the keys db assumes that any interruped
operation will be restarted, and so it can lose any buffered database
updates safely.
Fix bug in handling of annex.largefiles that use largerthan/smallerthan.
When adding a modified file, it incorrectly used the file size of the old
version of the file, not the current size.
That was the only largefiles limit that didn't directly look at the file on
disk already. Added a new type to keep straight the two different ways such
a limit can be matched. I kind of wanted to extend MatchingFile or FileInfo
to indicate that the matcher is supposed to operate on files from disk or
annex, but it turned out to be too complex to implement it that way.
This also changes the LimitAnnexFiles case when lookupFileKey does not find
a key. It used to fall back to statting the file, now it always returns
False. I doubt the old code could really get to that point, but if it
somehow does, it's better for preferred content matching to be consistent.
gksu is no longer in debian, even stable
kdesu in debian is not installed in PATH any longer, though the executable
is still present under /usr/lib
pkexec is packagekit's replacement for those older commands.
Straightforward, except for the issue of how to reverse LockAdjustment.
With --unlock, a commit that modifies/adds unlocked files gets reverse
adjusted to use locked files. That's fairly reasonable, I think.
But reversing --lock by unlocking all modified files feels wrong. Maybe
that's just because repositories typically seem to still have mostly
locked files in them (unless one is in an adjusted unlocked branch of
course!)
It may be that eventually how to reverse both will need to be configurable,
I don't know.
Had a report of close throwing ErrorBusy on CIFS.
Retrying up to 16 seconds is a balance between hopefully waiting long
enough for the problem to clear up and waiting so long that git-annex seems
to hang.
The new dependency is free; persistent depends on unliftio-core.
I just had a test that crashed at cleanup on linux with:
.t/gpgtest/12/S.gpg-agent.browser: removeDirectoryRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:getSymbolicLinkStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory)
sleeping 10 seconds and will retry directory cleanup
git-annex: .t/gpgtest/14/S.gpg-agent.browser: removeDirectoryRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:getSymbolicLinkStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory)
removePathForcibly is supposed to be more robust to things in the directory vanishing while it's running, etc.
Will probably avoid such crashes.
It was added to directory-1.2.7, which comes with ghc since 8.0.2.
Since base >= 4.11.1.0 means ghc 8.4.4, I expect all builds will have it,
but I ifdefed it to be sure.
This avoids some extra work, but I don't think it was possible for two ssh
endpoint discoveries run concurrently to both prompt for the ssh password;
Annex.Ssh itself deals with concurrency.
This is mostly groundwork for http password prompting.
This allows the rpm to be built anywhere the necessary build deps are
available (including on debian) and the resulting package will work on as
broad a range of rpm distributions as the libc/kernel supports.
The DistributionUpdate changes to use the new script have not yet been
tested.
debian oldoldstable has 2.1, and that's what i386ancient uses. It would be
better to require git 2.2, which is needed to use adjusted branches, but
can't do that w/o losing support for some old linux kernels or a
complicated git backport.
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.
That git fixed a memory leak that could cause an OOM during the upgrade.
Most git-annex builds have a new enough git already.
OSX git was upgraded with brew.
Linux i386ancient build's git was too old. Upgrading it to a fixed
git didn't work (due to the newer git not working with the old ssh,
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/git/issues/detail?id=7 )
Choices to deal with that were:
* Somehow make direct mode upgrade work with the old git, avoiding its
OOM problem. One way would be to switch the repo to indirect mode
first, and so upgrade to a repo with locked files. Not good when
the filesystem does not support symlinks.
* backport the OOM fix from git 2.22
(And do what about the version number so git-annex knows it's fixed?)
* backport openssh (and possibly more stuff)
* move the i386ancient build to at least Debian stretch (still backporting git)
But this will make it no longer work with some of the ancient kernels it
targets.
Of those, backporting the OOM fix seemed the best approach. Put "oomfix"
in the git version number to indicate it.
I have not automated building the git backport, so here's the patch I
used:

Three reasons:
* Committing as part of an upgrade is very unusual and unexpected.
* The commit was failing with a weird error message when done during an
automatic upgrade.
* Let me remove more of that sweet^Whorrible direct mode code.
* 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.
Rather than direct mode, which this is a small step on the path to
removing.
Init on a crippled filesystem already used v7 adjusted branches,
and like that, this doesn't pose any interoperability issues with old
versions of git-annex that clone the same repo, because files are only
unlocked on the adjusted branch.
When file matching options are specified when getting info of
something other than a directory, they won't have any effect, so error out
to avoid confusion.
This commit was sponsored by mo on Patreon.
Systems such as Debian that have overridden the default fpath will need to
set ZSH_COMPLETIONS_PATH.
I feel that Debian is causing unncessary complexity by making this change,
and have filed a bug report about it.
This also means that when git-annex is installed with PREFIX=/usr/local
it will use /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions which works with probably
all versions of zsh.
Its repeated opening and writing to the sqlite database somehow caused
inode cache information to occasionally be lost.
This loses code coverage, since running git-annex as a child process
prevents tracking what parts of the code are exercised. I have not looked
at the code coverage in a long time. It would probably be possible to
collect code coverage for the child procesess and merge it together.
* merge: When run with a branch parameter, merges from that branch.
This is especially useful when using an adjusted branch, because
it applies the same adjustment to the branch before merging it.
On second thought, the extra time running the test suite is worth it.
It will be gained back once we finally get rid of direct mode.
There are two failing tests, same two that have been failing on windows
(though the failure does not look identical). So this should also spare me
the Windows VM while fixing.
This way a failure to clean up the main repo dir from a previous pass
can't result in reusing that repo, which won't be configured right for the
current pass.
I saw the installer not defaulting to any installation directory,
and I had to manually enter C:\Program Files\Git
Maybe it was choosing gitInstallDir32, and that was empty? Or the
conditional somehow failed. Simplifying so it will hopefully work again.
This typo would make "git cat-file cat-file" fail, and the way it's used,
I think it broke querying all info from filenames containing newlines,
because the other queries are only run when it succeeds.
Use the same optimisation for --in=here as has always been used for --in=.
rather than the slow code path that unncessarily queries the git-annex
branch.
It looks like when "here" got added as an alias for "." back in 2012, I
forgot about this place.
Also sped up some very unlikely ways of referring to the current
repository.
Note that, this could in some rare corner case cause a behavior
change, if the git-annex branch and inAnnex disagree about whether content
is present in the local repository. But --in=. already behaved
that way, and the truth on the ground should win also.
In 40ecf58d4b I changed the license of code I
wrote from GPL to AGPL. But, two files containing code I wrote combined
with code by others were updated to say their license is AGPL, while in
fact part of it was (the code I wrote) but part remained under the original
license (the code written by others).
Remote/Ddar.hs is now changed entirely back to GPL 3.
Annex/DirHashes.hs stays AGPL, but I broke out Utility/MD5.hs with the code
not written by me, and corrected its license statement to GPL-2, which
is the actual version of the GPL included with the code in its original
distribution at http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/ian.lynagh/md5/
rsync is only needed for rsync special remotes and git-annex-shell from
Debian oldstable. Since the library situation on windows for rsync required
a particular 32 bit build of git for it to work, and may also somehow need
git-annex to be 32 bit build, it's better to not include it.

Improved probing when CoW copies can be made between files on the same
drive. Now supports CoW between BTRFS subvolumes. And, falls back to rsync
instead of using cp when CoW won't work, eg copies between repos on the
same EXT4 filesystem.
Rather than trying cp --reflink=always for each file copied to a remote,
it's tried once and if it fails it falls back to using rsync thereafter
for the lifetime of the Remote object. That avoids overhead of calling cp
which while small, will add up over a large number of files.

Support running v7 upgrade in a repo where there is no branch checked out,
but HEAD is set directly to some other ref.

The cabal file does not yet demand this version because it's not in Debian
yet and only affects use of certian broken http servers, but let's use it
when it's easily available.
using a blake2 variant optimised for 4-way CPUs
This had been deferred because the Debian package of cryptonite, and
possibly other builds, was broken for blake2bp, but I've confirmed #892855
is fixed.

Drop support for building with ghc older than 8.4.4, and with older
versions of serveral haskell libraries than will be included in Debian 10.
The only remaining version ifdefs in the entire code base are now a couple
for aws!
This commit should only be merged after the Debian 10 release.
And perhaps it will need to wait longer than that; it would make
backporting new versions of git-annex to Debian 9 (stretch) which
has been actively happening as recently as this year.

Reversion from commit 436f10771, CustomOutput was forcing quiet output
which overrode the json setting.
find happened to be the only command that uses CustomOutput and also
outputs json. (metadata --get does also use CustomOutput and --json does not
enable json output for that, which may be an oversight, but was already the
behavior before this regression.)
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.)
When downloading an url and the destination file exists but is empty,
avoid using http range to resume, since a range "bytes=0-" is an unusual
edge case that it's best to avoid relying on working.
This is known to fix a case where importfeed downloaded a partial feed from
such a server. Since importfeed uses withTmpFile, the destination always exists
empty, so it would particularly tickle such problem servers. Resuming from 0
is otherwise possible, but unlikely.
get, move, copy, sync: When -J or annex.jobs has enabled concurrency,
checksum verification uses a separate job pool than is used for
downloads, to keep bandwidth saturated.
Not yet done for upload checksum verification, but that only affects
remotes on local disks.
Avoid a delay at startup when concurrency is enabled and there are
rsync or gcrypt special remotes, which was caused by git-annex
opening a ssh connection to the remote too early.
sshOptions makes a connection to the ssh server if one is not already open,
when concurrency is enabled. Avoid doing that at startup, when the remote
list is being built, but the remote may not be used at all.
Instead, rsync/gcrypt now runs sshOptions once per ssh connection to the
server. This should not be significant overhead since Remote.Git already
has the same overhead (as do Bup and Ddar).
The hoped for optimisation of CommandStart with -J did not materialize.
In fact, not runnign CommandStart in parallel is slower than -J3.
So, CommandStart are still run in parallel.
(The actual bad performance I've been seeing with -J in my big repo
has to do with building the remoteList.)
But, this is still progress toward making -J faster, because it gets rid
of the onlyActionOn roadblock in the way of making CommandCleanup jobs
run separate from CommandPerform jobs.
Added OnlyActionOn constructor for ActionItem which fixes the
onlyActionOn breakage in the last commit.
Made CustomOutput include an ActionItem, so even things using it can
specify OnlyActionOn.
In Command.Move and Command.Sync, there were CommandStarts that used
includeCommandAction, so output messages, which is no longer allowed.
Fixed by using startingCustomOutput, but that's still not quite right,
since it prevents message display for the includeCommandAction run
inside it too.
When running multiple concurrent actions, the cleanup phase is run in a
separate queue than the main action queue. This can make some commands
faster, because less time is spent on bookkeeping in between each file
transfer.
But as far as I can see, nothing will be sped up much by this yet, because
all the existing cleanup actions are very light-weight. This is just groundwork
for deferring checksum verification to cleanup time.
This change does mean that if the user expects -J2 will mean that they see no
more than 2 jobs running at a time, they may be surprised to see 4 in some
cases (if the cleanup actions are slow enough to notice).
It might also make sense to enable background cleanup without the -J,
for at least one cleanup action. Indeed, that's the behavior that -J1
has now. At some point in the future, it make make sense to make the
behavior with no -J the same as -J1. The only reason it's not currently
is that git-annex can build w/o concurrent-output, and also any bugs
in concurrent-output (such as perhaps misbehaving on non-VT100 compatible
terminals) are avoided by default by only using it when -J is used.
Add back support for ftp urls, which was disabled as part of the fix for
security hole CVE-2018-10857 (except for configurations which enabled curl
and bypassed public IP address restrictions). Now it will work if allowed
by annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses.
Renamed annex.security.allowed-http-addresses to
annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses because it is not really specific to
the http protocol, also limiting eg, git-annex's use of ftp and via
youtube-dl, several other protocols.
The old name for the config will still work.
If both old and new name are set, the new name will win.
When a remote is configured to be readonly, don't allow changing what's
exported to it.
This was missed in the original export remote implementation, but it makes
sense for a readonly export remote to not be allowed to change.
~/.profile works for bash, but not all other login shells.
This setting PATH is a minor convenience for users, particuarly since
typing on android is so much harder. The usual linux standalone bundle
just expects the user to know how to add it to PATH. I don't want this
code to grow special cases for every possible login shell. So displaying a
message to the presumably minority who don't use bash seems like the best
choice.
Longer term, I'd hope termux gets some way to set an environment variable
for all login shells. Systems using PAM can, via ~/.pam_environment. Or
alternatively, add a git-annex package to termux, even if just an installer
package. I'd rather spend time on either of those than on making this minor
thing support more login shells.

* 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.
Importing from a special remote honors its preferred content too; unwanted
files are not imported. But, some preferred content expressions can't be
checked before files are imported, and trying to import with such an
expression will fail.
Tested this with scenarios including changing the preferred content
expression and making sure merging the import didn't delete files that were
no longer wanted.
There was one minor inefficiency mentioned in the todo that I punted on.
Make the import have the previous import as a parent, so eg `git log --stat`
displays a useful diff.
Also a minor optimisation, only calculate the depth of the imported history
once.
This includes a note about how include= and exclude= match when exporting
a subtree. I don't know if the note is prominent enough, but the
behavior seems unsurprising enough.
Added the ability to run one job per CPU (core), by setting annex.jobs=cpus,
or using option --jobs=cpus or -Jcpus.
Built with future expansion in mind, including not defaulting matching on
Concurrency so more constructors can later be added, and using "cpu"
instead of "0".
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 reversion in last release that caused wrong tree to be written to
remote tracking branch after an export of a subtree.
The invariant "commitsha should have the treesha as its tree"
was not met due to a bug. Guarantee it's met by catting the commitsha
to find its actual tree. A little bit slower, but this is not run often.
* Added mimeencoding= term to annex.largefiles expressions.
This is probably mostly useful to match non-text files with eg
"mimeencoding=binary"
* git-annex matchexpression: Added --mimeencoding option.
Switch listContents to being a proper CommandStart, so if it throws an
exception, it will be treated like any other command action that fails.
downloadImport apparently does not ever throw an exception,
and itself uses commandAction, so it can't be a CommandStart.
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.
As well as adding the necessary methods, a few other changes to the adb
remote:
* Use ".annextmp" extension for temp files, to avoid conflict with other
temp files.
* Stop using "echo $?" to get exit status of command inside adb.
There were two problems; first the "echo" just before it meant it was
always 0! And secondly, it seems kind of random on my phone whether it's
1 or 0, not dependant on whether the command seems to have succeeded.
protocol=https implies port=443 and
port=443 implies protocol=https
-- this was necessary because the existing configs set port=443, but
with a protocol setting, users will naturally want to use it, and then
there's no need for them to supply the default https port. So we keep
back-compat, add a nicer way to enable https, and also add support for
non-standard https ports.
In particular, when two files had the same content, and one was unlocked
and modified, with annex.thin that can corrupt the content of the
annex object, and so fsck on the other file should detect that.
getKeyStatus was relying on Database.Keys.getAssociatedFiles to tell
when a file is unlocked, but that can false positive because the
database can list old associated files.
Instead, separate out the case of unlocked object which has multiple
hardlinks when annex.thin is in use.
To support filenames starting with dashes.
To update the config of existing repositories, you can re-run git-annex init.
Perhaps it should check every time for the old config and update it, but
that has several problems:
- read-only repos
- unexpected commands like `git annex find` changing git configs
might be surprising behavior
Since filenames starting with dashes are not super common and the user can
re-init easily enough if their repo needs fixed, I went for the simplest
fix.
Users may want sync to only export, or only import and this is broadly
analagous to push and pull, so it makes sense to use the same
configuration for it.
The branch is only updated once the export is 100% complete. This way,
if an export is started but interrupted and so the remote does not yet
contain some of the files, an import will make a commit on the old
branch, and so won't delete the missing files.
This log, unlike all other current top-level logs, is a new format log.
I have not checked what throwing it at the old log parser did, but it seems
likely it ignored unparsable lines, and so perhaps deleted all lines from
the log.
This fixes a reversion in the ByteString conversion. The old code used
isSpace to decide when the metadata value needs to be base64 encoded,
and that incorrectly changed to only checking if it contained ' '.
Note that only '\n' and '\r' were added and not other sorts of
whitespace that isSpace matches, like '\t' and '\v'. Only the former
would cause problems.
Installing git-annex with stack rsync won't be available.
Also, using the git-annex installer with 64 bit git installs a non-working
rsync binary because it's linked with libraries provided by 32 bit git.
Like with the network-uri split, cabal will automatically turn off the flag
when building with an old network.
I have not tested building with the new network-3.0.0.0 yet; several
other dependencies including aws are still pinned on network-2.*
xporting files with '#' or '?' in their name won't work because urls get
truncated on those. Fail in a better way in this case, and avoid failing
when removing such files from the export, so after the user has renamed the
problem files the export will succeed.
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.
* fromkey: Added --json.
* fromkey --batch output changed to support using it with --json.
The old output was not parseable for any useful information, so
this is not expected to break anything.
If the worktree file already exists, and is annexed and uses the same
key, avoid failing, nothing needs to be done.
Had to add lookupFileNotHidden to handle the case where an adjust --hide-missing
is in use, and the worktree file was hidden due to the object content
being missing. lookupFile would return the key of the hidden file,
but it makes sense that after fromkey succeeds, the worktree must
contain the file it was supposed to set up.
Need to create the directory after the lock is held, not before.
The other racing process would need to shut down at just the wrong time,
running cleanupOtherTmp.
