getConfig got a remote-specific config, and this confusing name caused it
to be used a couple of places that only were interested in global configs.
Rename to getRemoteConfig and make getConfig only get global configs.
There are no behavior changes here, but remote.<name>.annex-web-options
never actually worked (and per-remote web options is a very unlikely to be
useful case so I didn't make it work), so fix the documentation for it.
Add tuning, docs, etc.
Not sure if status is the right place to remote size.. perhaps unused
should report the size and also warn if it sees more keys than the bloom
filter allows?
Can't trust the key size to be accurate for tmp and bad keys, so check
actual file size. In the wild I saw the old code be wrong by a factor
of about 100!
If all tmp/bad keys are empty, they're not shown in status at all.
Showing 0 bytes and suggesting to clean it up seemed weird..
Stale and bad files are rare, so it's more efficient to use inAnnex to see
if they can be deleted, rather than keeping the list of all present keys
around for them.
Before, it leaked space due to caching lists of keys. Now all necessary
data about keys is calculated as they stream in.
The "nearly constant" is due to getKeysPresent, which builds up a lot
of [] thunks as it traverses .git/annex/objects/. Will deal with it later.
Much of the memory bloat turned out to be due to getKeysReferenced
containing a mapM, which is strict and buffered the whole list
rather than streaming it.
The other half of the bloat was due to building a temporary Set
in order to call S.difference. While that is more cpu efficient,
I switched to successive S.delete, since with it, I can run a whole
git annex unused in less than 8 mb of memory.
The whole Set of keys with content available is still stored in memory,
so running unused in a repo with a whole lot of file content will still
use more memory. In a repo containing 6000 files, it needed 40 mb.
Note that the status command still uses the bloatful getKeysReferenced.
This has two benefits.
1. When a lot of refs are going to be received, get them via lower cost
connection when possible.
2. Allows ctrl-c of sync after the cheaper remotes have been pulled from
(or pushed to).
Rather than go through the location log to see which files are present on
the remote, it simply looks at the disk contents directly.
I benchmarked this speeding up scanning 834 files, from an annex on my
phone's SSD, from 11.39 seconds to 1.31 seconds. (No files actually moved.)
Also benchmarked 8139 files, from an annex on spinning storage,
speeding up from 103.17 to 13.39 seconds.
Note that benchmarking with an encrypted annex on flash actually showed a
minor slowdown with this optimisation -- from 13.93 to 14.50 seconds. Seems
the overhead of doing the crypto needed to get the filenames to directly
check can be higher than the overhead of looking up data in the location
log. (Which says good things about how well the location log and git have
been optimised!) It *may* make sense to make encrypted local remotes not
have hasKeyCheap set; further benchmarking is called for.
Eventually, git-annex might try running this after making changes to
a remote. I have not yet thought of a good way for it to tell which
remotes it needs to run it on though. It can't just do it when
shutting down a cached ssh connection, because ssh connection caching
is optional, and that would not handle local remotes not accessed over ssh
either.
Now changes are staged into the branch's index, but not committed,
which avoids growing a large journal. And sync and merge always
explicitly commit, ensuring that even when they do nothing else,
they commit the staged changes.
Added a flag file to indicate that the branch's journal contains
uncommitted changes. (Could use git ls-files, but don't want to run
that every time.)
In the future, this ability to have uncommitted changes staged in the
journal might be used on remotes after a series of oneshot commands.
Now gitattributes are looked up, efficiently, in only the places that
really need them, using the same approach used for cat-file.
The old CheckAttr code seemed very fragile, in the way it streamed files
through git check-attr.
I actually found that cad8824852
was still deadlocking with ghc 7.4, at the end of adding a lot of files.
This should fix that problem, and avoid future ones.
The best part is that this removes withAttrFilesInGit and withNumCopies,
which were complicated Seek methods, as well as simplfying the types
for several other Seek methods that had a Backend tupled in.
