Because it's a special character on Windows ("c:").
Use same technique already used for '/' and '\'.
I didn't record how I generated their encoded forms before, so am sure
there was a better way, but the way I did it now is to look at
ghci> encodeFilePath "∕"
"\226\136\149"
And then the difference from that to "\56546\56456\56469"
is adding 56320 to each, to get up to the escaped code plane.
See comment for why I think handling ':' is ok, but that other illegal
windows filenames won't. Note that, this should be enough to make the
test suite always work. Other windows illegal filenames will fail at
checkout time when it tries to put the illegal filename on the
filesystem.
John Thorvald Wodder II got it working using
https://github.com/datalad/file-windows so don't hard-disable it.
The stack.yaml still disables this build flag, because it needs an extra
C library to be installed, which stack cannot automate.
This is a cleaner build than on Jenkins because the whole environment setup
is handled by the CI config, at least up to the point of "get a random bag
of Windows bytes".
Also, the Jenkins autobuilder has been intermittently failing for a long
time, not due to any problem with git-annex but just a failure to clean up
directories.
Also, this build runs the test suite, and it is (mostly) passing. Test
suite always failed in the jenkins environment.
Also, this build includes libmagic.
Here is the build workflow used by github actions:
https://github.com/datalad/datalad-extensions/blob/master/.github/workflows/build-git-annex-windows.yaml
The libmagic build has its own workflow:
https://github.com/datalad/file-windows/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml
(Also cleaned up some windows build cruft I don't use anymore.)
There is no build-version file to link to. I've opened a todo requesting
one: https://github.com/datalad/datalad-extensions/issues/55
Presumably most users will get it from their linux distribution, or
whatever. Don't want to need to keep updating links if they're going to
rot like this.
This reverts commit c142696c58.
It turns out it was not needed; 681313dfd4
fixed up the git dir, so setting cwd to it works ok.
But worst, this commit broke the test suite massively. I don't understand how.
git-annex get was failing. Very weirdly, git-annex find in a fresh
clone of an annex repo, during autoinit, was displaying a side message
-- but side messages are disabled when running find.
This fixes the bug.
Note, it's only done when GIT_DIR is set. When it's not set,
Git.Construct already handled it. This is why it was only noticed with this
git submodule command.

If .git is a gitlink file, setting cwd to it will fail, but --git-dir
will succeed. And this is the only place where it sets cwd when running
git, everywhere else already uses --git-dir.
Note that, git-annex's submodule fixup code usually converts gitlink
files to symlinks, so this wasn't usually problem. Still, worth fixing.

Only done in checkPresentChunks, although retrieveChunks could also do
it. Does not seem necessary though, because git-annex never retrives
content without first checking if it's present AFAICR. And really this will
only be needed when using fsck. Puttting it here, rather than in fsck
avoids breaking an abstraction boundary, and is nice and inexpensive.
