Looked into this, and dropKey from web actually removes the url,
so git-annex won't try to get content from it.
So, if lockContent were implemented for web, and the web was left as the
only thing containing an object, another repo could at the same time
drop from web and remove its url, leaving no way to get the object.
Add to that, of course, the web is typically set untrusted, and so
implementing lockContent would not then be useful.
Similar reasoning applies to the bittorrent special remote, as well
as the fact that it does not even implement checkKey.
Audited for openFile and openFd, and this fixes all the ones I found
where an async exception could prevent the file getting closed.
Except for the lock pool, which is a whole other can of worms.
Masking ensures that EndStderrHandler gets written, so the helper
threads shut down.
However, nothing currently guarantees that calls to closeP2PSshConnection
are async exception safe, so made a note about it.
At this point, I've audited all calls to async, and made them all async
exception safe, except for ones in the assistant, and a few in leaf
commands (remotedaemon, enable-tor, multicast, p2p) which don't need to
be.
This handles all createProcessSuccess callers, and aside from process
pools, the complete conversion of all process running to async exception
safety should be complete now.
Also, was able to remove from Utility.Process the old API that I now
know was not a good idea. And proof it was bad: The code size went *down*,
despite there being a fair bit of boilerplate for some future API to
reduce.
Added annex.skipunknown git config, that can be set to false to change the
behavior of commands like `git annex get foo*`, to not skip over files/dirs
that are not checked into git and are explicitly listed in the command
line.
Significant complexity was needed to handle git-annex add, which uses some
git ls-files calls, but needs to not use --error-unmatch because of course
the files are not known to git.
annex.skipunknown is planned to change to default to false in a
git-annex release in early 2022. There's a todo for that.
