addurl behavior change: When downloading an url ending in .torrent,
it will download files from bittorrent, instead of the old behavior
of adding the torrent file to the repository.
Added Recommends on aria2 and bittornado | bittorrent.

Found these with:
git grep "^ " $(find -type f -name \*.hs) |grep -v ': where'
Unfortunately there is some inline hamlet that cannot use tabs for
indentation.
Also, Assistant/WebApp/Bootstrap3.hs is a copy of a module and so I'm
leaving it as-is.
This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
* New annex.hardlink setting. Closes: #758593
* init: Automatically detect when a repository was cloned with --shared,
and set annex.hardlink=true, as well as marking the repository as
untrusted.
Had to reorganize Logs.Trust a bit to avoid a cycle between it and
Annex.Init.
Note that while before checkTransfer this called getLock with WriteLock,
getLockStatus's use of ReadLock will also notice any exclusive locks.
Since transfer info files are only locked exclusively, never shared,
there is no behavior change.
Also, fixes checkLocked to actually return Just False when the file
exists, but is not locked.
Removed old extensible-exceptions, only needed for very old ghc.
Made webdav use Utility.Exception, to work after some changes in DAV's
exception handling.
Removed Annex.Exception. Mostly this was trivial, but note that
tryAnnex is replaced with tryNonAsync and catchAnnex replaced with
catchNonAsync. In theory that could be a behavior change, since the former
caught all exceptions, and the latter don't catch async exceptions.
However, in practice, nothing in the Annex monad uses async exceptions.
Grepping for throwTo and killThread only find stuff in the assistant,
which does not seem related.
Command.Add.undo is changed to accept a SomeException, and things
that use it for rollback now catch non-async exceptions, rather than
only IOExceptions.
Slightly tricky as they are not normal UUIDBased logs, but are instead maps
from (uuid, chunksize) to chunkcount.

When annex.genmetadata is set, metadata from the feed is added to files
that are imported from it.
Reused the same feedtitle and itemtitle, feedauthor, itemauthor, etc names
that are used in --template.
Also added title and author, which are the item title/author if available,
falling back to the feed title/author. These are more likely to be common
metadata fields.
(There is a small bit of dupication here, but once git gets
around to packing the object, it will compress it away.)
The itempubdate field is not included in the metadata as a string; instead
it is used to generate year and month fields, same as is done when adding
files with annex.genmetadata set.

This avoids a potential slowdown when using lots of views.
I think that it makes sense for unused to ignore (local) view branches,
since these are by definition supposed to be views of an existing branch,
so looking at the branch should be sufficient (and if the view is out of
date and has files that have since been deleted from the branch, the user's
intent is not to preserve those from unused reaping).
Avoid stomping on existing group and preferred content settings
when enabling or combining with an already existing remote.
Two level fix. First, use defaultStandardGroup rather than
setStandardGroup, so if there is an existing configuration in the git-annex
branch, it's not overwritten.
To handle pre-existing ssh remotes (including gcrypt), a second level is
needed, because before syncing with the remote, it's configuration won't be
available locally. (And syncing could take a long time.) So, in this case,
keep track of whether the remote is being created or enabled, and only set
configs when creating it.

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

Note that this is a nearly entirely free feature. The data was already
stored in the metadata log in an easily accessible way, and already was
parsed to a time when parsing the log. The generation of the metadata
fields may even be done lazily, although probably not entirely (the map
has to be evaulated to when queried).
For example "standard or (include=otherdir/*)" or even "not standard"
Note that the implementation avoids any potential for loops (if a
standard preferred content expression itself mentioned standard).

Note that negated globs are not supported. Would have complicated the code
to add them, without changing the data type serialization in a
non-backwards-compatable way.
This commit was sponsored by Denver Gingerich.
This allows eg, putting .git/annex/tmp on a ram disk, if the disk IO
of temp object files is too annoying (and if you don't want to keep
partially transferred objects across reboots).
.git/annex/misctmp must be on the same filesystem as the git work tree,
since files are moved to there in a way that will not work cross-device,
as well as symlinked into there.
I first wanted to put the tmp objects in .git/annex/objects/tmp, but
that would pose transition problems on upgrade when partially transferred
objects existed.
git annex info does not currently show the size of .git/annex/misctemp,
since it should stay small. It would also be ok to make something clean it
out, periodically.
Performance impact: When adding a large tree of new files, this needs
to do some git cat-file queries to check if any of the files already
existed and might need a metadata copy. I tried a benchmark in a copy
of my sound repository (so there was already a significant git tree
to check against.
Adding 10000 small files, with a cold cache:
before: 1m48.539s
after: 1m52.791s
So, impact is 0.0004 seconds per file added. Which seems acceptable, so did
not add some kind of configuration to enable/disable this.

While writing this documentation, I realized that there needed to be a way
to stay in a view like tag=* while adding a filter like tag=work that
applies to the same field.
So, there are really two ways a view can be refined. It can have a new
"field=explicitvalue" filter added to it, which does not change the
"shape" of the view, but narrows the files it shows.
Or, it can have a new view added, which adds another level of
subdirectories.
So, added a vfilter command, which takes explicit values to add to the
filter, and rejects changes that would change the shape of the view.
And, made vadd only accept changes that change the shape of the view.
And, changed the View data type slightly; now components that can match
multiple metadata values can be visible, or not visible.
This commit was sponsored by Stelian Iancu.
So the user can now switch to a view and then move files around within it
to manage metadata. For example, moving a file into a new directory
when in the tags=* view adds a tag to it.
Implementation is fairly efficient. One diff-index, which is no more
expensive than the first stage of a git commit, followed by possibly
some cat-file --batch traffic to find the key (when deleting a file).
Very similar to what's done in direct mode when committing. And like
direct mode when updating the WC after a merge, it has to buffer the
diff-tree values in order to make 2 passes over them.
When not in a view, pre-commit now does one extra git symbolic-ref,
which is tiny overhead.
This commit was sponsored by Andrew Eskridge.
Removed instance, got it all to build using fromRef. (With a few things
that really need to show something using a ref for debugging stubbed out.)
Then added back Read instance, and made Logs.View use it for serialization.
This changes the view log format.
(And a vpop command, which is still a bit buggy.)
Still need to do vadd and vrm, though this also adds their documentation.
Currently not very happy with the view log data serialization. I had to
lose the TDFA regexps temporarily, so I can have Read/Show instances of
View. I expect the view log format will change in some incompatable way
later, probably adding last known refs for the parent branch to View
or something like that.
Anyway, it basically works, although it's a bit slow looking up the
metadata. The actual git branch construction is about as fast as it can be
using the current git plumbing.

Adds metadata log, and command.
Note that unsetting field values seems to currently be broken.

Potentially fixes some FD leak if an action on an opened file handle fails
for some reason. There have been some hard to reproduce reports of
git-annex leaking FDs, and this may solve them.
Several places assumed this would not happen, and when the AssociatedFile
was Nothing, did nothing.
As part of this, preferred content checks pass the Key around.
Note that checkMatcher is sometimes now called with Just Key and Just File.
It currently constructs a FileMatcher, ignoring the Key. However, if it
constructed a FileKeyMatcher, which contained both, then it might be
possible to speed up parts of Limit, which currently call the somewhat
expensive lookupFileKey to get the Key.
I have not made this optimisation yet, because I am not sure if the key is
always the same. Will need some significant checking to satisfy myself
that's the case..
Make sanity checker run git annex unused daily, and queue up transfers
of unused files to any remotes that will have them. The transfer retrying
code works for us here, so eg when a backup disk remote is plugged in,
any transfers to it are done. Once the unused files reach a remote,
they'll be removed locally as unwanted.
If the setup does not cause unused files to go to a remote, they'll pile
up, and the sanity checker detects this using some heuristics that are
pretty good -- 1000 unused files, or 10% of disk used by unused files,
or more disk wasted by unused files than is left free. Once it detects
this, it pops up an alert in the webapp, with a button to take action.
TODO: Webapp UI to configure this, and also the ability to launch an
immediate cleanup of all unused files.

This will be used in expiring old unused objects. The timestamp is when it
was first noticed it was unused.
Backwards compatability: It supports reading old format unused log files.
The old version of git-annex will ignore lines in log files written by the
new version, so the worst interop problem would be git annex dropunused not
knowing some numbers that git-annex unused reported.
* numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all
clones of a repository.
* The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies
command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies
git configs will be ignored.
* assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies.
This global numcopies setting is needed to let preferred content
expressions operate on numcopies.
It's also convenient, because typically if you want git-annex to preserve N
copies of files in a repo, you want it to do that no matter which repo it's
running in. Making it global avoids needing to warn the user about gotchas
involving inconsistent annex.numcopies settings.
(See changes to doc/numcopies.mdwn.)
Added a new variety of git-annex branch log file, that holds only 1 value.
Will probably be useful for other stuff later.
This commit was sponsored by Nicolas Pouillard.
This allows a remote to store a piece of arbitrary state associated with a
key. This is needed to support Tahoe, where the file-cap is calculated from
the data stored in it, and used to retrieve a key later. Glacier also would
be much improved by using this.
GETSTATE and SETSTATE are added to the external special remote protocol.
Note that the state is left as-is even when a key is removed from a remote.
It's up to the remote to decide when it wants to clear the state.
The remote state log, $KEY.log.rmt, is a UUID-based log. However,
rather than using the old UUID-based log format, I created a new variant
of that format. The new varient is more space efficient (since it lacks the
"timestamp=" hack, and easier to parse (and the parser doesn't mess with
whitespace in the value), and avoids compatability cruft in the old one.
This seemed worth cleaning up for these new files, since there could be a
lot of them, while before UUID-based logs were only used for a few log
files at the top of the git-annex branch. The transition code has also
been updated to handle these new UUID-based logs.

This was unexpectedly difficult because of a depdenency cycle. To parse a
preferred content expression involves several things that need to operate
on the list of remotes. Which needs Remote.External. The only way to avoid
this cycle (I tried breaking it at several points) was to skip parsing the
expression in SETWANTED.
That's sorta ok, because git-annex already has to deal with unparsable
preferred content expressions being stored, in order to handle eg,
upgrades. But I'm still not very happy that I cannot check it.
I feel this is a strong indication that I need to beware of further
bloating the special remote protocol interface.
Fixed up a number of things that had worked around there not being a way to
get that.
Most notably, transfer info files on windows now include the process id,
since no locking is currently done. This means the file format varies
between windows and unix.
Windows has a larger (unsigned) PID space, so cannot use the unix CInt
there.
Note that TransferInfo does not yet ever get the TransferPid populated,
as there is missing locking.
Once I built the basic widget, it turned out to be rather easy to replicate
it once per scheduled activity and wire it all up to a fully working UI.
This does abuse yesod's form handling a bit, but I think it's ok.
And it would be nice to have it all ajax-y, so that saving one modified
form won't lose any modifications to other forms. But for now, a nice
simple 115 line of code implementation is a win.

I forgot I had <$$> hidden away in Utility.Applicative.
It allows doing the same kind of currying as does >=*>
and I found using it made the code more readable for me.
(*>=> was not used)
This is motivated by a user report that the assistant was repeatedly
retrying transfers of files that had been deleted (in direct mode, so
removing the only copy).
Note that the glacier code retries failed transfers after a while to retry
downloads that have aged long enough to be available. This is ok; if we're
doing a full transfer scan we'll retry on every file that is still in the
git tree.
Also note that this makes the assistant less likely to get every file
referenced by old revs of the git tree. Not something the assistant tries
to ensure anyway, so I feel this is acceptable.
Wrote nice pure transition calculator, and ugly code to stage its results
into the git-annex branch. Also had to split up several Log modules
that Annex.Branch needed to use, but that themselves used Annex.Branch.
The transition calculator is limited to looking at and changing one file at
a time. While this made the implementation relatively easy, it precludes
transitions that do stuff like deleting old url log files for keys that are
being removed because they are no longer present anywhere.
Having one module that knows about all the filenames used on the branch
allows working back from an arbitrary filename to enough information about
it to implement dropping dead remotes and doing other log file compacting
as part of a forget transition.
Works, more or less. --dead is not implemented, and so far a new branch
is made, but keys no longer present anywhere are not scrubbed.
git annex sync fails to push the synced/git-annex branch after a forget,
because it's not a fast-forward of the existing synced branch. Could be
fixed by making git-annex sync use assistant-style sync branches.
When quvi is installed, git-annex addurl automatically uses it to detect
when an page is a video, and downloads the video file.
web special remote: Also support using quvi, for getting files,
or checking if files exist in the web.
This commit was sponsored by Mark Hepburn. Thanks!
Made fromDirect check that a file in the tree has good content (and is not
a broken symlink either) before copying it to another file that has the
same key.
Made replaceFile clean up the temp file if the action that creates it, or
the file replacement action fails.
Most remotes have meters in their implementations of retrieveKeyFile
already. Simply hooking these up to the transfer log makes that information
available. Easy peasy.
This is particularly valuable information for encrypted remotes, which
otherwise bypass the assistant's polling of temp files, and so don't have
good progress bars yet.
Still some work to do here (see progressbars.mdwn changes), but this
is entirely an improvement from the lack of progress bars for encrypted
downloads.
I would have sort of liked to put this in .gitattributes, but it seems
it does not support multi-word attribute values. Also, making this a single
config setting makes it easy to only parse the expression once.
A natural next step would be to make the assistant `git add` files that
are not annex.largefiles. OTOH, I don't think `git annex add` should
`git add` such files, because git-annex command line tools are
not in the business of wrapping git command line tools.
There was confusion in different parts of the progress bar code about
whether an update contained the total number of bytes transferred, or the
number of bytes transferred since the last update. One way this bug
showed up was progress bars that seemed to stick at zero for a long time.
In order to fix it comprehensively, I add a new BytesProcessed data type,
that is explicitly a total quantity of bytes, not a delta.
Note that this doesn't necessarily fix every problem with progress bars.
Particularly, buffering can now cause progress bars to seem to run ahead
of transfers, reaching 100% when data is still being uploaded.
Rather than forking a git-annex transferkey only to have it fail,
just immediately record the failed transfer (so when the drive is plugged
in, the scan will retry it).
The newline after the filename was included in it.
This was generally benign -- mostly these filenames are just displayed,
and the newline didn't matter.
But in the assistant, it caused unexpected dropping of preferred
content.
A characteristic of this bug is that the drop was displayed like this:
drop some_file
ok
* get/copy --auto: Transfer data even if it would exceed numcopies,
when preferred content settings want it.
* drop --auto: Fix dropping content when there are no preferred content
settings.
Monitors git-annex branch for changes, which are noticed by the Merger
thread whenever the branch ref is changed (either due to an incoming push,
or a local change), and refreshes cached config values for modified config
files.
Rate limited to run no more often than once per minute. This is important
because frequent git-annex branch changes happen when files are being
added, or transferred, etc.
A primary use case is that, when preferred content changes are made,
and get pushed to remotes, the remotes start honoring those settings.
Other use cases include propigating repository description and trust
changes to remotes, and learning when a remote has added a new special
remote, so the webapp can present the GUI to enable that special remote
locally.
Also added a uuid.log cache. All other config files already had caches.
in= was problimatic in two ways. First, it referred to a remote by name,
but preferred content expressions can be evaluated elsewhere, where that
remote doesn't exist, or a different remote has the same name. This name
lookup code could error out at runtime. Secondly, in= seemed pretty useless.
in=here did not cause content to be gotten, but it did let present content
be dropped.
present is more useful, although "not present" is unstable and should be
avoided.
When in a subdir, both the normal filepath, and the filepath relative to
the top of the git repo are needed for matching. The former for key lookup,
and the latter for include/exclude to match against. Previously, key lookup
didn't work in this situation.
I'm using transfer for most things, both removable drives and cloud
storage, because it's the safest choice. We'll see if it makes sense
to prompt for the group when setting this up, or let the user pick
something else after the fact.
I've designed these to work well together, I hope. If I get it wrong,
I can just change the code in one place, since these expressions
won't be stored in the git-annex branch.
Solves the issue with preferred content expressions and dropping that
I mentioned yesterday. My solution was to add a parameter to specify a set
of repositories where content should be assumed not to be present. When
deciding whether to drop, it can put the current repository in, and then
if the expression fails to match, the content can be dropped.
Using yesterday's example "(not copies=trusted:2) and (not in=usbdrive)",
when the local repo is one of the 2 trusted copies, the drop check will
see only 1 trusted copy, so the expression matches, and so the content will
not be dropped.
This includes a full parser for the boolean expressions in the log,
that compiles them into Matchers. Those matchers are not used yet.
A complication is that matching against an expression should never
crash git-annex with an error. Instead, vicfg checks that the expressions
parse. If a bad expression (or an expression understood by some future
git-annex version) gets into the log, it'll be ignored.
Most of the code in Limit couldn't fail anyway, but I did have to make
limitCopies check its parameter first, and return an error if it's bad,
rather than erroring at runtime.
Incomplete; I need to finish parsing and saving. This will also be used
for editing transfer control expresssions.
Removed the group display from the status output, I didn't really
like that format, and vicfg can be used to see as well as edit rempository
group membership.
Fix resuming of downloads, which do not have a transfer info file to read.
When checking upload progress, use the MVar, rather than re-reading
the info file.
Catch exceptions in the transfer action. Required a tryAnnex.
The --copies flag now takes an argument of the form:
trustlevel:number or number
If a trust level is specified the command is limited to files
with at least 'number' copies of this 'trustlevel'.
When a transfer fails, the progress info can be used to intelligently
retry it. If the transfer managed to make some progress, but did not
fully complete, then there's a good chance that a retry will finish it
(or at least make more progress).
Transfer info files are updated when the callback is called, updating
the number of bytes transferred.
Left unused p variables at every place the callback should be used.
Which is rather a lot..
A paused transfer's thread keeps running, keeping the slot in use.
This is intentional; pausing a transfer should not let other
queued transfers to run in its place.
This commit includes a paydown on technical debt incurred two years ago,
when I didn't know that it was bad to make custom Read and Show instances
for types. As the routes need Read and Show for Transfer, which includes a
Key, and deriving my own Read instance of key was not practical,
I had to finally clean that up.
So the compact Key read and show functions are now file2key and key2file,
and Read and Show are now derived instances.
Changed all code that used the old instances, compiler checked.
(There were a few places, particularly in Command.Unused, and the test
suite where the Show instance continue to be used for legitimate
comparisons; ie show key_x == show key_y (though really in a bloom filter))
Avoid crashing when "git annex get" fails to download from one location,
and falls back to downloading from a second location.
The problem is that git annex get calls download recursively from within
itself if the first download attempt fails. So the first time through, it
writes a transfer info file, which is then overwritten on the second,
recursive call. Then on cleanup, it tries to delete the file twice, which
of course doesn't work.
Fixed both by not crashing if the transfer file is removed, and by
changing Get to not run download recursively like that. It's the only
thing that did so, and it just seems like a bad idea.
This should fix OSX/BSD issues with not noticing transfer information
files with kqueue. Now that threads are used, the thread can manage the
transfer slot allocation and deallocation by itself; much cleaner.
Since the lock file has to be kept open, this prevented the TransferWatcher
from noticing when it appeared, since inotify (and more importantly kqueue)
events happen when a new file is closed. Writing a separate info file fixes
that problem.
There's still a bug; if the child updates its transfer info file,
then the data from it will superscede the TransferInfo, losing the
info that we should wait on this child.
Not yet tested and places git-annex-shell is run need to be modified to
pass the new field settings.
Note that rsyncServerSend was changed to fork, rather than directly exec
rsync, because it needs to keep the transfer lock held, and clean up the
transfer log when done.
In order to record a semi-useful filename associated with the key,
this required plumbing the filename all the way through to the remotes'
storeKey and retrieveKeyFile.
Note that there is potential for deadlock here, narrowly avoided.
Suppose the repos are A and B. A sends file foo to B, and at the same
time, B gets file foo from A. So, A locks its upload transfer info file,
and then locks B's download transfer info file. At the same time,
B is taking the two locks in the opposite order. This is only not a
deadlock because the lock code does not wait, and aborts. So one of A or
B's transfers will be aborted and the other transfer will continue.
Whew!
storing it in remotes/web/xx/yy/foo.log meant lots of extra directory
objects in git. Now I use xx/yy/foo.log.web, which is just as unique, but
more efficient since foo.log is there anyway.
Of course, it still looks in the old location too.
This overrides the trust.log, and is overridden by the command-line trust
parameters.
It would have been nicer to have Logs.Trust.trustMap just look up the
configuration for all remotes, but a dependency loop prevented that
(Remotes depends on Logs.Trust in several ways). So instead, look up
the configuration when building remotes, storing it in the same forcetrust
field used for the command-line trust parameters.
This needs to run git log on the location log files to get at all past
versions of the file, which tends to be a bit slow.
It would be possible to make a version optimised for showing the location
logs for every key. That would only need to run git log once, so would be
faster, but it would need to process an enormous amount of data, so
would not speed up the individual file case.
In the future it would be nice to support log --format. log --json also
doesn't work right yet.
semitrusted uuids rarely are listed in trust.log, so a special case
is needed to get a list of them. Take the difference of all known uuids
with non-semitrusted uuids.
Avoid ever using read to parse a non-haskell formatted input string.
show :: Key is arguably still show abuse, but displaying Keys as filenames
is just too useful to give up.
Checks location log information, and file contents.
Does not check that numcopies is satisfied, as .gitattributes information
about numcopies is not available in a bare repository. In practice, that
should not be a problem, since fsck is also run in a checkout and will
check numcopies there.
