This was already prevented in other ways, but as seen in commit
c30fd24d91, those were a bit fragile.
And I'm not sure races were avoided in every case before. At least a
race between two separate git-annex processes, dropping the same
content, seemed possible.
This way, if locking fails, and the content is not present, it will
always do the right thing. Also, it avoids the overhead of an unncessary
inAnnex check for every file.

Fixes a failure mode where git-annex sync would try to run git-annex and
complain that it failed to find it in ~/.config/git-annex/program or PATH,
when there was a git-annex in /usr/bin/, but the original one was run
from elsewhere (eg, ~/bin) and happened not to be present any longer.
Now, it will fall back to using git-annex from PATH in such a case.
Which might fail due to some version incompatability, but still better
than a misleading error message.
Also made readProgramFile only read the file, not look for git-annex in
PATH as a fallback. That fallback may have confused Assistant.Upgrade,
which really wants the value from the file.
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.
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.
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.)
No longer used. The only possible user of it would be code in
Upgrade.V5, so I verified that the parts of Annex.Content it used were
not used to manipulate direct mode files.
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.)
* rmurl: Fix a case where removing the last url left git-annex thinking
content was still present in the web special remote.
* SETURLPRESENT, SETURIPRESENT, SETURLMISSING, and SETURIMISSING
used to update the presence information of the external special remote
that called them; this was not documented behavior and is no longer done.
Done by making setUrlPresent and setUrlMissing only update presence info
for the web, and only when the url is a web url. See the comment for
reasoning about why that's the right thing to do.
In AddUrl, had to make it update location tracking, to handle the
non-web-url case.

* For url downloads, git-annex now defaults to using a http library,
rather than wget or curl. But, if annex.web-options is set, it will
use curl. To use the .netrc file, run:
git config annex.web-options --netrc
* git-annex no longer uses wget (and wget is no longer shipped with
git-annex builds).
Note that curl is always run in silent mode, since the new API for
download has a MeterUpdate and doesn't make way for curl progress
output. It might be worth writing a parser for curl's progress output
to update the meter when using it, but I didn't bother with this edge
case for now.

Enable HTTP connection reuse across multiple files, when git-annex
uses http-conduit. Before, a new Manager was created each time
Utility.Url used it. Now, a single Manager gets created the first time,
so connections are reused.
Doesn't help when external programs are used for url download,
but does speed up addurl --fast, fsck --from web, etc.
Testing fsck --fast --from web with 3 files, over high-latency
satellite internet, it sped up from 19.37s to 14.96s.

Fourth or fifth try at this and finally found a way to make it work.
Absurd amount of busy-work forced on me by change in cabal's behavior.
Split up Utility modules that need posix stuff out of ones used by
Setup. Various other hacks around inability for Setup to use anything
that ifdefs a use of unix.
Probably lost a full day of my life to this.
This is how build systems make their users hate them. Just saying.
This reverts commit 51228c2306.
No, still doesn't work when built with cabal. It did with stack; stack
must somehow make the unix package implicitly available.
With cabal, System.Posix.Process and System.Posix.Env are both missing.
Seems I had all the work in past commits to make this build, at least on
linux. I'm actually surprised it does, without a unix dep, Utility.Env
still builds ok somehow despite using System.Posix.Env.

This avoids warnings from stack about the module not being listed in the
cabal file. So, the generated file is also renamed to Build/SysConfig.
Note that the setup program seems to be cached despite these changes; I
had to cabal clean to get cabal to update it so that Build/SysConfig was
written.

They need unix on non-windows, for Utility.Env, which Build.Configure uses,
but cabal can't express that in a custom-setup stanza.
To avoid this problem, Utility.Env would need to be moved into
unix-compat..
Windows needs the setenv package in custom-setup, but I don't want to
pull it in on unix, which would probably break some builds and need more
work. Instead, split out setEnv to a separate module.
Quite likely, unix-compat will get a portable environment layer, and
then both modules can be removed from here.

Removed dependency on MissingH, instead depending on the split
library.
After laying groundwork for this since 2015, it
was mostly straightforward. Added Utility.Tuple and
Utility.Split. Eyeballed System.Path.WildMatch while implementing
the same thing.
Since MissingH's progress meter display was being used, I re-implemented
my own. Bonus: Now progress is displayed for transfers of files of
unknown size.

9c4650358c changed the Read instance for
Key.
I've checked all uses of that instance (by removing it and seeing what
breaks), and they're all limited to the webapp, except one.
That is GitAnnexDistribution's Read instance.
So, 9c4650358c would have broken upgrades
of git-annex from downloads.kitenet.net. Once the .info files there got
updated for a new release, old releases would have failed to parse them
and never upgraded.
To fix this, I found a way to make the .info files that contain
GitAnnexDistribution values be readable by the old version of git-annex.

Where before the "name" of a key and a backend was a string, this makes
it a concrete data type.
This is groundwork for allowing some varieties of keys to be disabled
in file2key, so git-annex won't use them at all.
Benchmarks ran in my big repo:
old git-annex info:
real 0m3.338s
user 0m3.124s
sys 0m0.244s
new git-annex info:
real 0m3.216s
user 0m3.024s
sys 0m0.220s
new git-annex find:
real 0m7.138s
user 0m6.924s
sys 0m0.252s
old git-annex find:
real 0m7.433s
user 0m7.240s
sys 0m0.232s
Surprising result; I'd have expected it to be slower since it now parses
all the key varieties. But, the parser is very simple and perhaps
sharing KeyVarieties uses less memory or something like that.

Building w/o the webapp is not supposed to pull in any AGPLed files.
I appear to have written all the code in these files;
the only commit by anyone else is 64e844e1fe
and is a spelling fix that is not copyrightable.
ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

Note that get --from foo --failed will get things that a previous get --from bar
tried and failed to get, etc. I considered making --failed only retry
transfers from the same remote, but it was easier, and seems more useful,
to not have the same remote requirement.
Noisy due to some refactoring into Types/
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.
When gpg.program is configured, it's used to get the command to run for
gpg. Useful on systems that have only a gpg2 command or want to use it
instead of the gpg command.

Unfortunately, this caused breakage on Windows, and possibly elsewhere,
because parentDir and takeDirectory do not behave the same when there is a
trailing directory separator.
parentDir is less safe than takeDirectory, especially when working
with relative FilePaths. It's really only useful in loops that
want to terminate at /

Didn't know that this library existed!
This includes making git-annex not re-exec itself on start on windows, and
making the test suite on Windows run tests without forking.
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.
This fixed one bug where it needed to be and wasn't (in Assistant.Unused).
And also found one place where lockContent was used unnecessarily (by
drop --from remote).
A few other places like uninit probably don't really need to lockContent,
but it doesn't hurt to do call it anyway.

Someone reported:
gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir `/var/folders/m6/zkd11n111m38ff37zbtgq0lr0000gp/T/git-annex-gpg.tmp.0'
Just a warning, but let's fix it anyway. Preumably the user has one of the
many insane and delightful umasks users sometimes use to shoot themselves
in their feet.
