Fixes several bugs with updates of pointer files. When eg, running
git annex drop --from localremote
it was updating the pointer file in the local repository, not the remote.
Also, fixes drop ../foo when run in a subdir, and probably lots of other
problems. Test suite drops from ~30 to 11 failures now.
TopFilePath is used to force thinking about what the filepath is relative
to.
The data stored in the sqlite db is still just a plain string, and
TopFilePath is a newtype, so there's no overhead involved in using it in
DataBase.Keys.
Since the file was present and locked, its annex object was not in the
inode cache. So, despite not needing to update the annex object when the
clean filter is run on the content by git merge, it does need to record the
inode cache of the annex object. Otherwise, the annex object will be
assumed to be bad, since its inode is not cached.
Decided it's too scary to make v6 unlocked files have 1 copy by default,
but that should be available to those who need it. This is consistent with
git-annex not dropping unused content without --force, etc.
* Added annex.thin setting, which makes unlocked files in v6 repositories
be hard linked to their content, instead of a copy. This saves disk
space but means any modification of an unlocked file will lose the local
(and possibly only) copy of the old version.
* Enable annex.thin by default on upgrade from direct mode to v6, since
direct mode made the same tradeoff.
* fix: Adjusts unlocked files as configured by annex.thin.
This can happen when ingesting a new file in either locked or unlocked
mode, when some unlocked files in the repo use the same key, and the
content was not locally available before.
This fixes a race where the modified file ended up in annex/objects, and
the InodeCache stored in the database was for the modified version, so
git-annex didn't know it had gotten modified.
The race could occur when the smudge filter was running; now it gets the
InodeCache before generating the Key, which avoids the race.
This covers the case where multiple files have the same content and are
added with git add. Previously only the one that was linked to the annex
got its inode cached; now both are.
When a v6 unlocked files is removed from the work tree,
unused doesn't show it. When it gets removed from the index,
unused does show it. This is the same as a locked file.
If multiple files point to the same annex object, the user may want to
modify them independently, so don't use a hard link.
Also, check diskreserve when copying.
This avoids querying the database when the content file doen't exist
(or otherwise fails the provided check). However, it does add overhead of
querying the database, and will certianly impact performance.
The Keys database can hold multiple inode caches for a given key. One for
the annex object, and one for each pointer file, which may not be hard
linked to it.
Inode caches for a key are recorded when its content is added to the annex,
but only if it has known pointer files. This is to avoid the overhead of
maintaining the database when not needed.
When the smudge filter outputs a file's content, the inode cache is not
updated, because git's smudge interface doesn't let us write the file. So,
dropping will fall back to doing an expensive verification then. Ideally,
git's interface would be improved, and then the inode cache could be
updated then too.
Renamed the db to keys, since it is various info about a Keys.
Dropping a key will update its pointer files, as long as their content can
be verified to be unmodified. This falls back to checksum verification, but
I want it to use an InodeCache of the key, for speed. But, I have not made
anything populate that cache yet.
When core.sharedRepository is set, annex object files are not made mode
444, since that prevents a user other than the file owner from locking
them. Instead, a mode such as 664 is used in this case.
There should be no behavior changes in this commit, it just adds a more
expressive data type and adjusts code that had been passing around a [UUID]
or sometimes a Maybe Remote to instead use [VerifiedCopy].
Although, since some functions were taking two different [UUID] lists,
there's some potential for me to have gotten it horribly wrong.
Also, rename lockContent to lockContentExclusive
inAnnexSafe should perhaps be eliminated, and instead use
`lockContentShared inAnnex`. However, I'm waiting on that, as there are
only 2 call sites for inAnnexSafe and it's fiddly.
In c6632ee5c8, it actually only handled
uploading objects to a shared repository. To avoid verification when
downloading objects from a shared repository, was a lot harder.
On the plus side, if the process of downloading a file from a remote
is able to verify its content on the side, the remote can indicate this
now, and avoid the extra post-download verification.
As of yet, I don't have any remotes (except Git) using this ability.
Some more work would be needed to support it in special remotes.
It would make sense for tahoe to implicitly verify things downloaded from it;
as long as you trust your tahoe server (which typically runs locally),
there's cryptographic integrity. OTOH, despite bup being based on shas,
a bup repo under an attacker's control could have the git ref used for an
object changed, and so a bup repo shouldn't implicitly verify. Indeed,
tahoe seems unique in being trustworthy enough to implicitly verify.
* When annex objects are received into git repositories, their checksums are
verified then too.
* To get the old, faster, behavior of not verifying checksums, set
annex.verify=false, or remote.<name>.annex-verify=false.
* setkey, rekey: These commands also now verify that the provided file
matches the key, unless annex.verify=false.
* reinject: Already verified content; this can now be disabled by
setting annex.verify=false.
recvkey and reinject already did verification, so removed now duplicate
code from them. fsck still does its own verification, which is ok since it
does not use getViaTmp, so verification doesn't happen twice when using fsck
--from.
