A content directory can be frozen in direct mode. One way this can happen
is if the content is transferred before direct mode has a mapping for it,
so it's stored in the content directory.
So, we need to thaw the content directory before doing things with it.
Due to add using withFilesMaybeModified, it will get files that have been
deleted but are still in the index. So catch the IO error that results when
trying to stat such a file.
There may be already staged changes from a prior `git annex add`,
so always commit.
Also, suppressed the commit output, since it contains noise due to
typechanged files in direct mode.
This is so git remotes on servers without git-annex installed can be used
to keep clients' git repos in sync.
This is a behavior change, but since annex-sync can be set to disable
syncing with a remote, I think it's acceptable.
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.
* addurl: Register transfer so the webapp can see it.
* addurl: Automatically retry downloads that fail, as long as some
additional content was downloaded.
Fixed by storing a list of cached inodes for a key, instead of just one.
Backwards compatability note: An old git-annex version will fail to parse
an inode cache file that has been written by a new version, and has
multiple items. It will succees if just one. So old git-annexes will have
even worse behavior when there are duplicated files, if that is possible.
I don't think it will be a problem. (Famous last words.)
Also, note that it doesn't expire old and unused inode caches for a key.
It would be possible to add this if needed; just look through the
associated files for a key and if there are more cached inodes, throw out
any not corresponding to associated files. Unless a file is being copied
repeatedly and the old copy deleted, this lack of expiry should not be a
problem.
* since this is a crippled filesystem anyway, git-annex doesn't use
symlinks on it
* so there's no reason to use the mixed case hash directories that we're
stuck using to avoid breaking everyone's symlinks to the content
* so we can do what is already done for all bare repos, and make non-bare
repos on crippled filesystems use the all-lower case hash directories
* which are, happily, all 3 letters long, so they cannot conflict with
mixed case hash directories
* so I was able to 100% fix this and even resuming `git annex add` in the
test case will recover and it will all just work.
This avoids commit churn by the assistant when eg,
replacing a file with a symlink.
But, just as importantly, it prevents the working tree being left with a
deleted file if git-annex, or perhaps the whole system, crashes at the
wrong time.
(It also probably avoids confusing displays in file managers.)
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.
Needed to send a trailing NUL to end a request, and set the read handle
non-blocking.
Also, set fileSystemEncoding on all handles, since there's a filename in
there.
There are two types of equality here, and which one is right varies,
so this forces me to consider and choose between them.
Based on this, I learned that the commit in git anex sync was
always doing a strong comparison, even when in a repository where
the inodes had changed. Fixed that.
The comments correctly noted that the remote could drop the key and
yet False be returned due to some problem that occurred afterwards.
For example, if it's a network remote, it could drop the key just
as the network goes down, and so things timeout and a nonzero exit
from ssh is propigated through and False returned.
However... Most of the time, this scenario will not have happened.
False will mean the remote was not available or could not drop the key
at all.
So, instead of assuming the worst, just trust the status we have.
If we get it wrong, and the scenario above happened, our location
log will think the remote has the key. But the remote's location
log (assuming it has one) will know it dropped it, and the next sync
will regain consistency.
For a special remote, with no location log, our location log will be wrong,
but this is no different than the situation where someone else dropped
the key from the remote and we've not synced with them. The standard
paranoia about not trusting the location log to be the last word about
whether a remote has a key will save us from these situations. Ie,
if we try to drop the file, we'll actively check the remote,
and determine the inconsistency then.
Clean up from 9769235d6b.
In some cases, looking up a remote by name even though it has no UUID is
desirable. This includes git annex sync, which can operate on remotes
without an annex, and XMPP pairing, which runs addRemote (with calls
byName) before the UUID of the XMPP remote has been configured in git.
Pass subcommand as a regular param, which allows passing git parameters
like -c before it. This was already done in the pipeing set of functions,
but not the command running set.
I have seen some other programs do this, and think it's pretty cool. Means
you can test wherever it's deployed, as well as at build time.
My other reason for doing it is less happy. Cabal's handling of test suites
sucks, requiring duplicated info, and even when that's done, it fails to
preprocess hsc files here. Building it in avoids that and avoids having
to explicitly tell cabal to enable test suites, which would then make it
link the test executable every time, which is unnecessarily slow.
This also has the benefit that now "make fast test" does a max speed build
and tests it.
The only thing lost is ./ghci
Speed: make fast used to take 20 seconds here, when rebuilding from
touching Command/Unused.hs. With cabal, it's 29 seconds.
Adding a file that is already annexed, but has been modified, was broken in
direct mode.
This fix makes the new content be added. It does have the problem that
re-running `git annex add` will checksum and re-add the content repeatedly,
until it's committed. This happens because the key associated with the file
does not change until the new one gets committed, so it keeps thinking the
file has changed.

Now getKeysPresent checks that the key's content, not only its directory,
exists. In direct mode, the inode cache file is used as a standin for the
content.
removeAnnex always removes the inode cache file, and drop and move --from
always call removeAnnex, even if the object does not seem to be inAnnex,
to ensure it's always deleted.
This reverts commit 57780cb3a4.
This was buggy, it caused the direct mode cache to be lost when dropping
keys, so when the file is gotten back, it's stored in indirect mode.
Note to self: Do not attempt bug fixes at 6 am!
In indirect mode, now checks the inode cache to detect changes to a file.
Note that a file can still be changed if a process has it open for write,
after landing in the annex.
In direct mode, some checking of the inode cache was done before, but
from a much later point, so fewer modifications could be detected. Now it's
as good as indirect mode.
On crippled filesystems, no lock down is done before starting to add a
file, so checking the inode cache is the only protection we have.
git annex init probes for crippled filesystems, and sets direct mode, as
well as `annex.crippledfilesystem`.
Avoid manipulating permissions of files on crippled filesystems.
That would likely cause an exception to be thrown.
Very basic support in Command.Add for cripped filesystems; avoids the lock
down entirely since doing it needs both permissions and hard links.
Will make this better soon.
Various things that don't work on Android are just ifdefed out.
* the webapp (needs template haskell for arm)
* --include and --exclude globbing (needs libpcre, which is not ported;
probably I'll make it use the pure haskell glob library instead)
* annex.diskreserve checking (missing sys/statvfs.h)
* timestamp preservation support (yawn)
* S3
* WebDAV
* XMPP
The resulting 17mb binary has been tested on Android, and it is able to,
at least, print its usage message.
These files were left behind, and made getKeysPresent find keys that were
not present. It would be expensive to make getKeysPresent check that the
actual key files are present (it just lists the directories). But that's not
needed if we just clean up the stale cache and mapping files.
To handle systems that were in direct mode and got switched back with stale
direct mode files, made cleanObjectLoc remove all files in the key's directory.
git annex unused will still list keys that are gone but for which the stale
direct mode files exists. To deal with that, made dropunused remove the key's
directory even if the key does not seem to be present.
Making the pre-commit hook look at git diff-index to find changed direct
mode files and update the mappings works pretty well.
One case where it does not work is when a file is git annex added, and then
git rmed, and then this is committed. That's a no-op commit, so the hook
probably doesn't even run, and it certianly never notices that the file
was deleted, so the mapping will still have the original filename in it.
For this and other reasons, it's important that the mappings still be
treated as possibly inconsistent.
Also, the assistant now allows the pre-commit hook to run when in direct
mode, so the mappings also get updated there.
It used to not log to daemon.log when a repository was first created, and
when starting the webapp. Now both do. Redirecting stdout and stderr to the
log is tricky when starting the webapp, because the web browser may want to
communicate with the user. (Either a console web browser, or web.browser = echo)
This is handled by restoring the original fds when running the browser.
An earlier commit (mislabeled) made direct mode fsck check file checksums.
While it's expected for files to change at any time in direct mode, and so
fsck cannot complain every time there's a checksum mismatch, it is possible
for it to detect when a file does not *seem* to have changed, then check
its checksum, and so detect disk corruption or other problems.
This commit improves that, by checking a second time, if the checksum
fails, that the file is still not modified, before taking action. This way,
a direct mode file can be modified while being fscked.
Now there's a Config type, that's extracted from the git config at startup.
Note that laziness means that individual config values are only looked up
and parsed on demand, and so we get implicit memoization for all of them.
So this is not only prettier and more type safe, it optimises several
places that didn't have explicit memoization before. As well as getting rid
of the ugly explicit memoization code.
Not yet done for annex.<remote>.* configuration settings.
This avoids some small overhead by only running the check once per command;
it also ensures that, even if the command doesn't find anything to run on,
it still fails to run when in a bare repo.
* Bugfix: Remove leading \ from checksums output by sha*sum commands,
when the filename contains \ or a newline. Closes: #696384
* fsck: Still accept checksums with a leading \ as valid, now that
above bug is fixed.
* migrate: Remove leading \ in checksums
However, I don't yet have a reliable way to deal with files being modified
while they're being transferred. I have code that detects it on the sending
side, but the receiver is still free to move the wrong content into its
annex, and record that it has the content. So that's not acceptable, and
I'll need to work on it some more.
However, at this point I can use a direct mode repository as a remote and
transfer files from and to it.
* 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.
Files are now written to a tmp directory in the remote, and once all
chunks are written, etc, it's moved into the final place atomically.
For now, checkpresent still checks every single chunk of a file, because
the old method could leave partially transferred files with some chunks
present and others not.
Inject the required git-remote-xmpp into PATH when running xmpp git push.
Rest of the time it will not be in PATH, and git won't be able to talk to
xmpp remotes.
I now have this topology working:
assistant ---> {bare repo, special remote} <--- assistant
And, I think, also this one:
+----------- bare repo --------+
v v
assistant ---> special remote <--- assistant
While before with assistant <---> assistant connections, both sides got
location info updated after a transfer, in this topology, the bare repo
*might* get its location info updated, but the other assistant has no way to
know that it did. And a special remote doesn't record location info,
so transfers to it won't propigate out location log changes at all.
So, for these to work, after a transfer succeeds, the git-annex branch
needs to be pushed. This is done by recording a synthetic commit has
occurred, which lets the pusher handle pushing out the change (which will
include actually committing any still journalled changes to the git-annex
branch).
Of course, this means rather a lot more syncing action than happened
before. At least the pusher bundles together very close together pushes,
somewhat. Currently it just waits 2 seconds between each push.
I had been using -ignore-package monads-tf to deal with this, but
the XMPP library uses monads-tf, so that also ignores it. Instead,
use PackageImports to force use of mtl in my own code.
This was complicated quite a bit by needing to check numcopies. I optimised
that, so it only looks up numcopies once per file, no matter how many
remotes it checks to drop from. Although it did just occur to me that
it might be better to first check if it wants to drop content, and only
then check numcopies..
When rsyncProgress pipes rsync's stdout, this turns out to cause a ssh
process started by rsync to be left behind as a zombie. I don't know why,
but my recent zombie reaping cleanup was correct, it's just that this other
zombie, that's not directly started by git-annex, was no longer reaped
due to changes in the cleanup. Make rsyncProgress reap the zombie started
by rsync, as a workaround.
FWIW, the process tree looks like this. It seems like the rsync child
is for some reason starting but not waiting on this extra ssh process.
Ssh connection caching may be involved -- disabling it seemed to change
the shape of the tree, but did not eliminate the zombie.
