Previously such nonsensical combinations always treated the matching option
as if it didn't match.
For now, made find --branch refuse matching options that need a
filename, because one is not provided to them in a way they'll use.
There's an open bug report to support it, but making it error out is
better than the old behavior of not finding what it was asked to.
Also, made --mimetype combined with eg --all work, by looking at the
object file when operating on keys.
Implemented by generalizing registerurl. Without the implicit batch mode
of registerurl since that is only a backwards compatability thing
(see commit 1d1054faa6).
unannex, uninit: When an annexed file is modified, don't overwrite the
modified version with an older version from the annex
This commit was sponsored by Mark Reidenbach on Patreon.
This benchmarks only slightly faster than the old git-annex. Eg, for a 1
gb file, 14.56s vs 15.57s. (On a ram disk; there would certianly be
more of an effect if the file was written to disk and didn't stay in
cache.)
Commenting out the updateIncremental calls make the same run in 6.31s.
May be that overhead in the implementation, other than the actual
checksumming, is slowing it down. Eg, MVar access.
(I also tried using 10x larger chunks, which did not change the speed.)
Changing to the P2P protocol broke this, because preseedTmp copies
the local copy of the object to the temp file, and then the P2P transfer
sees the right length file and uses it as-is.
When git-annex-shell is too old and rsync is used, it did verify the
content, and when the local repo does not have the object it did verify the
content.
Checksum as content is received from a remote git-annex repository, rather
than doing it in a second pass.
Not tested at all yet, but I imagine it will work!
Not implemented for any special remotes, and also not implemented for
copies from local remotes. It may be that, for local remotes, it will
suffice to use rsync, rely on its checksumming, and simply return Verified.
(It would still make a checksumming pass when cp is used for COW, I guess.)
See my comment in the next commit for some details about why
Verified needs a hash with preimage resistance. As far as tahoe goes,
it's fully cryptographically secure.
I think that bup could also return Verified. However, the Retriever
interface does not currenly support that.
When a git remote is configured with an absolute path, use that path,
rather than making it relative. If it's configured with a relative path,
use that.
Git.Construct.fromPath changed to preserve the path as-is,
rather than making it absolute. And Annex.new changed to not
convert the path to relative. Instead, Git.CurrentRepo.get
generates a relative path.
A few things that used fromAbsPath unncessarily were changed in passing to
use fromPath instead. I'm seeing fromAbsPath as a security check,
while before it was being used in some cases when the path was
known absolute already. It may be that fromAbsPath is not really needed,
but only git-annex-shell uses it now, and I'm not 100% sure that there's
not some input that would cause a relative path to be used, opening a
security hole, without the security check. So left it as-is.
Test suite passes and strace shows the configured remote url is used
unchanged in the path into it. I can't be 100% sure there's not some code
somewhere that takes an absolute path to the repo and converts it to
relative and uses it, but it seems pretty unlikely that the code paths used
for a git remote would call such code. One place I know of is gitAnnexLink,
but I'm pretty sure that git remotes never deal with annex symlinks. If
that did get called, it generates a path relative to cwd, which would have
been wrong before this change as well, when operating on a remote.
When annex.stalldetection is not enabled, and a likely stall is detected,
display a suggestion to enable it.
Note that the progress meter display is not taken down when displaying
the message, so it will display like this:
0% 8 B 0 B/s
Transfer seems to have stalled. To handle stalling transfers, configure annex.stalldetection
0% 10 B 0 B/s
Although of course if it's really stalled, it will never update
again after the message. Taking down the progress meter and starting
a new one doesn't seem too necessary given how unusual this is,
also this does help show the state it was at when it stalled.
Use of uninterruptibleCancel here is ok, the thread it's canceling
only does STM transactions and sleeps. The annex thread that gets
forked off is separate to avoid it being canceled, so that it
can be joined back at the end.
A module cycle required moving from dupState the precaching of the
remote list. Doing it at startConcurrency should cover all the cases
where the remote list is used in concurrent actions.

annex.stalldetection can now be set to "true" to make git-annex do

progress consistently enough.

Seems only fair, that, like git runs git-annex, git-annex runs
git-annex-foo.
Implementation relies on O.forwardOptions, so that any options are passed
through to the addon program. Note that this includes options before the
subcommand, eg: git-annex -cx=y foo
Unfortunately, git-annex eats the --help/-h options.
This is because it uses O.hsubparser, which injects that option into each
subcommand. Seems like this should be possible to avoid somehow, to let
commands display their own --help, instead of the dummy one git-annex
displays.
The two step searching mirrors how git works, it makes finding
git-annex-foo fast when "git annex foo" is run, but will also support fuzzy
matching, once findAllAddonCommands gets implemented.

I suspect this is a bug in cabal sdist, because with
Includes: Utility/libkqueue.h
the file is not included, but putting it in extra-files does
get it into the tarball.
Fix an oddity in matching options and preferred content expressions such as
"foo (bar or baz)", which was incorrectly handled as if it were "(foo or
bar) and baz)" rather than the intended "foo and (bar or baz)"
Seemed like a change to consume should be able to handle this case
better, but I was having trouble writing it that way, so instead added
a separate pass that inserts the implicit ands explicitly. Also added
several test cases to make sure versions with and without explicit ands
generate the same.
Missed this when implementing it because of the default case catching
the new constructor. So, removed that default case to make sure
future types of adjusted branches don't make the same mistake.
Complicated by git-annex addurl --fast which adds the file whose content
is not present, so it needs to stay unlocked when on such a branch.

Fixed that, and made parserLsTree accept the space as well as tab.
Fixes a reversion that made import of a tree from a special remote result in
a merge that deleted files that were not preferred content of that special
remote.
Avoids the smudge --clean filter failing because URL keys do not support
genKey. Instead the modified content will be added using the default
backend.
This commit was sponsored by Jochen Bartl on Patreon.
This avoids the smudge --clean filter failing on the URL keys.
git checkout runs the post-checkout hook, which runs smudge --update.
That populates all the pointer files, but it neglected to store their inode
caches in the keys db. With that done, and the keys db flushed before
smudge --clean gets run (by restagePointerFile), the isUnmodifiedCheap
check can tell the file is not modified, so will not try to re-ingest it,
which does not work with URL keys because they do not support genKey.
It also seems possible that the isUnmodifiedCheap was also failing for
non-URL keys, which would cause them to be re-ingested, leading to a lot of
extra work. I have not verified that, but don't see why it wouldn't have
happened. So this probably also speeds up checking out adjusted branches.
This commit was sponsored by Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. on Patreon.
This is probably a reversion, but not sure what caused it. By the time
Annex.Init runs fixupUnusualReposAfterInit, another git-annex process has
at least sometimes already done the necessary fixups. (Eg, one run
indirectly by a git command.) But since the Repo is cached, it doesn't
realize and does them again. So, avoid crashing when git config --unset
fails.

Directory special remotes with importtree=yes now avoid unncessary overhead
when inodes of files have changed, as happens whenever a FAT filesystem
gets remounted.
A few unusual edge cases of modifications won't be detected and
imported. I think they're unusual enough not to be a concern. It would
be possible to add a config setting that controls whether to compare
inodes too, but does not seem worth bothering the user about currently.
I chose to continue to use the InodeCache serialization, just with the
inode zeroed. This way, if I later change my mind or make it
configurable, can parse it back to an InodeCache and operate on it. The
overhead of storing a 0 in the content identifier log seems worth it.
There is a one-time cost to this change; all directory special remotes
with importtree=yes will re-hash all files once, and will update the
content identifier logs with zeroed inodes.
This commit was sponsored by Brett Eisenberg on Patreon.
Including the non-standard URI form that git-remote-gcrypt uses for rsync.
Eg, "ook://foo:bar" cannot be parsed because "bar" is not a valid port
number. But git could have a remote with that, it would try to run
git-remote-ook to handle it. So, git-annex has to allow for such things,
rather than crashing.

Since that can lead to data loss, which should never be enabled by an
option other than --force.
I suppose that using --trust was in some situation, safer than --force,
because it doesn't entirely disable checking for data loss, but only
disables checking involving data that is on the specified repository.
But it seems better to be able to say that data loss only happens with
--force.
This commit was sponsored by Graham Spencer on Patreon.
Since unconsidered use of trusted repositories can lead to data loss.
Trusted has always been this way, but it used to be acceptable for
git-annex to be set up so that data could be lost without using --force,
and most or all other ways that can happen have already been eliminated.

This is conceptually very simple, just making a 1 that was hard coded be
exposed as a config option. The hard part was plumbing all that, and
dealing with complexities like reading it from git attributes at the
same time that numcopies is read.
Behavior change: When numcopies is set to 0, git-annex used to drop
content without requiring any copies. Now to get that (highly unsafe)
behavior, mincopies also needs to be set to 0. It seemed better to
remove that edge case, than complicate mincopies by ignoring it when
numcopies is 0.

It got broken in several ways by the streaming seeking optimisations
around version 8.20201007.
Moved time limit checking out of the matcher, which was a hack in the
first place. So everywhere that uses Limit.getMatcher needs to check
time limit. Well, almost everywhere. Command.Info uses it, but it does
not make sense to time limit getting info. And Command.MultiCast uses it
just to build up a list of files that then get passed to a command, so
it would never have hit the timeout in a useful way.
This implementation is a little more expensive when at time limit than
necessary, since it continues seeking only to discard everything after the
time limit. I did try making it close the file handles to force a faster
shutdown, but that didn't work and hung. Could certianly be improved
somehow, but seeking is probably not the expensive bit when a time limit
is hit, so this seems acceptable for now.
* add: Significantly speed up adding lots of non-large files to git,
by disabling the annex smudge filter when running git add.
* add --force-small: Run git add rather than updating the index itself,
so any other smudge filters than the annex one that may be enabled will
be used.
And vice-versa, but it's better to use '/' for portability.
Notably, standardPreferredContent contains "archive/*" and that might not
match if the filename ends up coming in with the slashes the other way
around.
I do think this was a reversion, but I have not tracked back to what
version. While involving the remote config, it's not the same class of
problems that I kept having to chase down for a while after the remote
config parser reworking.
This is common in some feeds, which might mix some items with enclosures,
with others that link to posts or whatever. Before this, it would try to
use youtube-dl and fail, or if youtube-dl was not allowed, it would
incorrectly complain that an url was supported by youtube-dl.
MatchingKey is not the thing to use when matching on actual worktreee
files.
Fix reversion in 8.20201116 that made include= and exclude= in
preferred/required content expressions match a path relative to the current
directory, rather than the path from the top of the repository.
* Guard against running in a repo where annex.uuid is set but
annex.version is set, or vice-versa.
* Avoid autoinit when a repo does not have annex.version or annex.uuid
set, but has a git-annex objects directory, suggesting it was used
by git-annex before.
There was no particular reason not to support this, other than maybe a lack
of a use case. One use case would of course be a remote that you want to
avoid overwriting content on. A new use case is the idea of importing from
backups, eg borg, where exporting is not necessarily supported at all.

Avoid spurious "verification of content failed" message when downloading
content from a ssh or tor remote fails due to the remote no longer having a
copy of the content.
The P2P protocol already handled this case by sending DATA 0, followed by
VALID. But VALID was not really right, because the data is not the
requested data. So, send DATA 0, followed by INVALID. Old versions of
git-annex handle INVALID the same as VALID in this case. Now new versions
avoid displaying an incorrect message.
It would be better for the P2P protocol to have a different way to indicate
this, like perhaps sending INVALID without DATA. But that would be a
breaking change and need a new protocol verison. Since INVALID already is
part of the protocol and already needs to be handled, using it for this
special case too seems ok, and avoids the complication of another protocol
version.
This commit was sponsored by Jochen Bartl on Patreon.
This is an edge case, which happened to be triggered by the P2P protocol
seeing DATA 0. When reading 0 bytes, getting an empty string does
not mean the handle has reached EOF.
I verified there was in fact a bug, where get of an empty file followed
by another file would get the empty file and then fail
with "handle is closed". This fixes it.

Reversion introduced in version 8.20201007, one release after the 1st

Surprisingly, hClose can hang if another thread is reading from the

The use of cancel here does mean that, if receiveMessageAddonProcess
or Remote.External.AsyncExtension.receiveloop allocated some resource in
a non-async-exception safe way, they might not get a chance to clean it up.
They do not appear to, and anyway, this only happens when git-annex is
shutting down, so any recource that did leak would not be a problem.

Only displaying git-annex and git command output when something went wrong.
A few could still leak stderr. These include the couple of calls

leak any usually, so probably only would when failing anyway.
Currently, there is no excess output at all!

What a mess that Request can throw exceptions or not, depending on how

http status codes in a function like this! Implementing everything two
ways did not seem appealing, if possible at all, so I decided to
override the Request if it did come configured to throw exception on
non-2xx http status. Other exceptions, like from http-client-restricted,
or due to a redirect to a non-http url, still get thrown.

Prevent windows assistant from trying (and failing) to upgrade itself,
which has never been supported on windows.
The new windows build is made with UPGRADE_LOCATION set, which enabled this
code path that had never run on windows before, and doesn't work. I don't
want to try to support self-upgrade on windows, or generally on other OS's
than the ones where its working, so added a check for that. This way the
build can keep setting UPGRADE_LOCATION and if some later git-annex does
learn how to upgrade itself on some OS, it won't need changing the build
setup.
Added annex.adjustedbranchrefresh git config to update adjusted branches
set up by git-annex adjust --unlock-present/--hide-missing.
Note, in a few cases, I was not able to make the adjusted branch
be updated in calls to moveAnnex, because information about what
file corresponds to a key is not available. They are:
* If two files point to one file, then eg, `git annex get foo` will
update the branch to unlock foo, but will not unlock bar, because it
does not know about it. Might be fixable by making `git annex get
bar` do something besides skipping bar?
* git-annex-shell recvkey likewise (so sends over ssh from old versions
of git-annex)
* git-annex setkey
* git-annex transferkey if the user does not use --file
* git-annex multicast sends keys with no associated file info
Doing a single full refresh at the end, after any incremental refresh,
will deal with those edge cases.
An --unlock-present branch reverses back to a branch where
all files that get modified or renamed become locked, even if they were
originally unlocked. This is the same that reversing a --unlock branch
works, and the new name makes that commonality more clear.
Like --hide-missing the branch does not get updated when content
availability changes.
Seems to basically work, but sync does not update it yet.
Also, when a file is present and so unlocked, git mv followed by
git-annex sync results in the basis branch being updated to contain the
file with the new name, unlocked. This seems different than what
happens in an adjusted unlocked branch, where the commit propigates back
locked. Probably the reverse adjustment code needs to be improved to
handle this case.
Note that, the way the SeekInput parser is written to support batch mode,
it's actually possible to do git-annex examinekey
"SHA1--foo foo.tar.gz" --migrate-to-backend=SHA1E
While that might be kind of useful to support multiple migrations not using
batch mode, I have not documented it. It would be better to take pairs of
key and file in that case.
Warn when adding a annex symlink or pointer file that uses a key that is

This fixes a bug where a file that was not preferred content could be
transferred to a remote. This happened when the file got deleted after
the sync started running.
The only time checkMatcher is run without a Key is in calls to
checkFileMatcher, which are only done by add, addurl, import, and
smudge --clean. Those won't be affected by this kind of race. Anything
else that might be precaching and have a similar race as sync will also
be fixed, but I don't know if it actually affected anything other than
sync.
As well as fixing a bug, this also probably makes sync and --auto faster
by avoiding the redundant key lookup.

Make sure to relay any remaining stderr from the process after it has
shut down, rather than closing stderr just before shutdown. This avoids
a situation where the process is still running and tries to write to
stderr, getting a SIGPIPE. And, it ensures that no stderr output is
lost.
This may fix a problem encountered by datalad on windows, where it hangs
during the external special remote shutdown.
Before commit a49d300545, it closed stdin
and stdout, but left stderr open, and never killed the stderr waiter
thread, which presumably exited on its own. For async exception
safety, do need to at make sure that thread gets waited on, as that
commit does, but it introduced this problem.
Note that, the process's stdout is closed before waiting on it. It's too
late for anything it writes to stdout to be processed, and since we're
not going to consume any such writes, this avoids the process getting
blocked writing to stdout due to us not reading what it's buffered. This
does mean that if the process writes to stdout too late, it will get a
SIGPIPE. (This was already the case before the above-mentioned commit.)
In practice, I think only the protocol's ERROR is allowed to be
sent at a point where this could happen.
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.
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:

(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
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

When a special remote has chunking enabled, but no chunk sizes are
recorded (or the recorded ones are not found), speculatively try chunks
using the configured chunk size.
This makes eg, git-annex fsck --from remote be able to fix up the
location log of a file that the git-annex branch does not indicate is
stored on the remote.
Note that fsck does *not* fix up the chunk log to indicate the chunk
size. So, changing the chunk config of the remote after that will still
prevent accessing the chunks stored on it. Maybe fsck should, but I
wanted to start with this and see if it's needed.
In cases where numcopies checks prevented the resumed move from dropping
the object from the source repository, it now relies on a log of recent
moves to replicate the behavior of the interrupted command.
Performance: Probably noticable impact, since it has to add to the log,
check the log, and remove from the log. Seems worth it to avoid this
annoying edge case. The log functions are pretty well optimised to avoid
unncessary work.
An performance improvement to make later would be to avoid cleanup doing
anything if it's not written to the log file, and has confirmed that the
log file does not contain the log line.

The problem was this line:
cleanup = and <$> sequence (map snd v)
That caused all of v to be held onto until the end, when the cleanup action

I could not seem to find a bang pattern that avoided the leak, so I
resorted to a IORef, rather clunky, but not a performance problem because
it will only be written once per git ls-files, so typically just 1 time.

getPid returns Nothing if the process has already been stopped, and in that
case, the pid will not be displayed. I think that would only happen if
waitForProcess or similar gets called more than once on the same process
handle though.
getPid on unix has an overhead of only a MVar read. On Windows it needs to
make a syscall, so will be probably more expensive. While the added expense
happens even when debug logging is disabled, it should be small enough
compared with the overhead of starting a process that it's not a problem.
(It does occur to me that a debugM that took an IO String could only run it
when debugging is really enabled, which would improve performance. It does
not seem possible to use the current hslogger interface to do that though;
it does not expose the information that would be needed.)
With some hints for the user for what to do.
Took care to avoid changing the json output. It would have been ok to add
the new separated lists to it, in addition to the old list, but I didn't
do that because I didn't see much point.
add, addurl, importfeed, import: Added --no-check-gitignore option
for finer grained control than using --force.
(--force is used for too many different things, and at least one
of these also uses it for something else. I would like to reduce
--force's footprint until it only forces drops or a few other data
losses. For now, --force still disables checking ignores too.)
addunused: Don't check .gitignores when adding files. This is a behavior
change, but I justify it by analogy with git add of a gitignored file
adding it, asking to add all unused files back should add them all back,
not skip some. The old behavior was surprising.
In Command.Lock and Command.ReKey, CheckGitIgnore False does not change
behavior, it only makes explicit what is done. Since these commands are run
on annexed files, the file is already checked into git, so git add won't
check ignores.
--batch combined with -J now runs batch requests concurrently for many
commands. Before, the combination was accepted, but did not enable
concurrency. Since the output of batch requests can be in any order, --json
with the new "input" field is recommended to be used, to determine which
batch request each response corresponds to.
If --json is not used, batch mode still runs concurrently, using the usual
concurrent-output. That will not be very useful for most batch mode users,
probably, but who knows.
If a program was using --batch -J before, and was parsing non-json output,
this could break it. But, it was relying on git-annex not supporting
concurrency despite it being enabled, so it should have expected concurrent
output. So, I think that's ok.
annex.jobs does not enable concurrency in --batch mode, because that would
confuse programs that use --batch but don't expect concurrency.
The use case of this field is mostly to support -J combined with --json.
When that is implemented, a user will be able to look at the field to
determine which of the requests they have sent it corresponds to.
The field typically has a single value in its list, but in some cases
mutliple values (eg 2 command-line params) are combined together and the
list will have more.
Note that json parsing was already non-strict, so old git-annex metadata
--json --batch can be fed json produced by the new git-annex and will
not stumble over the new field.
No behavior changes (hopefully), just adding SeekInput and plumbing it
through to the JSON display code for later use.
Over the course of 2 grueling days.
withFilesNotInGit reimplemented in terms of seekHelper
should be the only possible behavior change. It seems to test as
behaving the same.
Note that seekHelper dummies up the SeekInput in the case where
segmentPaths' gives up on sorting the expanded paths because there are
too many input paths. When SeekInput later gets exposed as a json field,
that will result in it being a little bit wrong in the case where
100 or more paths are passed to a git-annex command. I think this is a
subtle enough problem to not matter. If it does turn out to be a
problem, fixing it would require splitting up the input
parameters into groups of < 100, which would make git ls-files run
perhaps more than is necessary. May want to revisit this, because that
fix seems fairly low-impact.
So these special remotes are always supported.
IIRC these build flags were added because the dep chains were a bit too
long, or perhaps because the libraries were not available in Debian stable,
or something like that. That was long ago, those reasons no longer apply,
and users get confused when builtin special remotes are not available, so
it seems best to remove the build flags now.
If this does cause a problem it can be reverted of course..

Works better with automatic merge conflict resolution than git's ususual
default of "conflict".
This is not done when automatic merge conflict resolution is disabled.
This commit was sponsored by Mark Reidenbach on Patreon.
This case was handled by cleanConflictCruft, but only when the annexed
file's object was present. When not present, it left the annexed file
with the original name, not checked into git, while adding the variant
file. So, add an explicit deletion of the deleted file in this case.
My specific case where this happened actually involves
merge.directoryRenames=conflict. After a merge involving that,
the situation was the file appears as "added by them", because that
caused the file that they added to be moved into a directory we renamed.
That case is the same as them adding a modified version of the file,
while we deleted it. (Except for the history of the file, since it's a
new file, but this doesn't look at history.)

One reason is, 5 is an arbitrary number so ought to be configurable.
The real reason though, is I wanted to make the man page explain when
forward retry can override annex.retry, and having a config made the
man page easier to write.
Fixed several cases where files were created without file mode bits that
the umask would usually set. This included exports to the directory special
remote, torrent files used by the bittorrent special remote, hooks written
by git-annex init, and some log files in .git/annex/
Audited all calls, looking for ones that didn't want the umask bits to be
set. All such turned out to already set the specific restrictive file mode
they wanted.
"http" was too generic and easy to confuse with web. The new name makes
clear it's used in addition to some other remote. And other protocols
can use the same naming scheme.
They normally shutdown when the GNUPGHOME directory is deleted, but on
NFS they keep the directory from being deleted. And also, this avoids
a number of them piling up while the test suite is running.
Fixes reversion in 8.20200617 that made annex.pidlock being enabled result
in some commands stalling, particularly those needing to autoinit.
Renamed runsGitAnnexChildProcess to make clearer where it should be
used.
Arguably, it would be better to have a way to make any process git-annex
runs have the env var set. But then it would need to take the pid lock
when running any and all processes, and that would be a problem when
git-annex runs two processes concurrently. So, I'm left doing it ad-hoc
in places where git-annex really does run a child process, directly
or indirectly via a particular git command.
addurl: Fix reversion in 7.20190322 that made --file not be honored when

I'm sure this used to work, but somewhere along the line something or
things (getCost and getAvailability I think, probably others)
started catching the exception and not displaying it. So, show warnings.
Avoid complaining that a file with "is beyond a symbolic link" when the
filepath is absolute and the symlink in question is not actually inside the
git repository.
This assumes that inodes remain stable while the command is running.
I think they always will, the filesystems where they are unstable change
them across mounts. (If inodes were not stable, it would just complain about
symlinks in the path that are not inside the working tree.)
(On windows, I don't want to assume anything about inodes, they could be
random numbers for all I know. But if they were, this would still be ok, as
long as windows doesn't have symlinks that are detected by isSymbolicLink.
Which seems a fair bet.)
sanitizeFilePath was changed to sanitize leading '.', but ImportFeed was
running it on parts of the template. So eg the leading '.' in the extension
got sanitized.
Note the added case for sanitizeLeadingFilePathCharacter ('/':_)
-- this was added because, if the template is title/episode and the title
is not set, it would expand to "/episode". So this is another potential
security fix.
Reduce the number of directories listed in libdirs, which makes the linker
check a lot less dead ends looking for directories.
Eliminated some directories that didn't really contain shared libraries,
or only contained the linker.
That left only 2, one in lib and one in usr/lib, so consolidate those two.
Doing it this way, rather than just consolidating all libs that might exist
into a single directory means that, if there are optimised versions of some
libs, eg in lib/subarch/foo.so, and lib/subarch2/foo.so, they don't get
moved around in a way that would make the linker pick the wrong one.
Sped up seeking files to drop by 2x, and also some performance
improvements to checking numcopies.
Interestingly, the seek speedup is not due to precaching, but I think is
due to calling getParsed earlier.
Annex.Drop had to be changed to check inAnnex there, since it was removed
from Command.Drop. All other users of Command.Drop already checked inAnnex
themselves.
This commit was sponsored by Ryan Newton on Patreon.
And add a test case for that.
This certianly loses some of the 2x performance improvement in file
seeking that seekFilteredKeys led to, because now it has to stat the
worktree files again. Without benchmarking, I expect there will still be
a sizable improvement, and also the git-annex branch precaching that
seekFilteredKeys can do will still be a win of its approach.
Also worth noting that lookupKey, when the file DNE, check if it's in an
adjusted branch with hidden files, and if so, finds the key for the
file anyway. That was intended to make git-annex sync --content be able
to process those files, but a side effect was that, when a file was
deleted but the deletion not yet staged, git-annex commands used to
still list it. That was actually a bug. This commit fixes that bug too.
(git-annex sync --content on such a branch does not use seekFilteredKeys
so was not affected by the reversion or by this behavior change)
This commit was sponsored by Jake Vosloo on Patreon.
This was a bit disappointing, I was hoping for a 2x speedup. But, I think
the metadata lookup is wasting a lot of time and also needs to be made to
stream.
The changes to catObjectStreamLsTree were benchmarked to not also speed
up --all around 3% more. Seems I managed to make it polymorphic after all.
Turns out the %(rest) trick was not needed. Instead, just maintain a
list of files we've asked for, and each cat-file response is for the
next file in the list.
This actually benchmarks 25% faster than before! Very surprising, but it
must be due to needing to shove less data through the pipe, and parse
less.
This assumes that no location log files will have a newline or carriage
return in their name. catObjectStream skips any such files due to
cat-file not supporting them.
Keys have been prevented from containing newlines since 2011,
commit 480495beb4. If some old repo
had a key with a newline in it, --all will just skip processing that key.
Other things, like .git/annex/unused files certianly assume no newlines in
keys too, and AFAICR, such keys never actually worked.
Carriage return is escaped by preSanitizeKeyName since 2013. WORM keys
generated before that point could perhaps contain a CR. (URL probably not,
http probably doesn't support an URL with a raw CR in it.) So, added
a warning in fsck about such keys. Although, fsck --all will naturally
skip them, so won't be able to warn about them. Not entirely
satisfactory, but I'll bet there are not really any such keys in
existence.
Thanks to Lukey for finding this optimisation.
The cache was removed way back in 2012,
commit 3417c55189
Then I forgot I had removed it! I remember clearly multiple times when I
thought, "this reads the same data twice, but the cache will avoid that
being very expensive".
The reason it was removed was it messed up the assistant noticing when
other processes made changes. That same kind of problem has recently
been addressed when adding the optimisation to avoid reading the journal
unnecessarily.
Indeed, enableInteractiveJournalAccess is run in just the
right places, so can just piggyback on it to know when it's not safe
to use the cache.
adb shell has sha256sum sha1sum and some others, so they could be used.
They're provided by toybox, so seem about as likely to keep
working as find and stat, which it already depends on.
Or to not add a dep, could use stat the same as getExportContentIdentifier
to get a mtime, and make a WORM key. But do I really want this to
default to WORM?
Unsure what's the best path, so punting for now.
Only supported by some special remotes: directory
I need to check the rest and they're currently missing methods until I do.
git-annex sync --no-content does not yet use this to do imports
Always run Git.Config.store, so when the git config gets reloaded,
the override gets re-added to it, and changeGitRepo then calls extractGitConfig
on it and sees the annex.* settings from the override.
Remove any prior occurance of -c v and add it to the end. This way,
-c foo=1 -c foo=2 -c foo=1 will pass -c foo=1 to git, rather than -c foo=2
Note that, if git had some multiline config that got built up by
multiple -c's, this would not work still. But it never worked because
before the bug got fixed in the first place, the -c value was repeated
many times, so the multivalue thing would have been wrong. I don't think
-c can be used with multiline configs anyway, though git-config does
talk about them?
Trivial since git-annex cannot remove, but do an active checkKey verification
anyway, in case the data was lost somehow.
This commit was sponsored by Ryan Newton on Patreon.
Made several special remotes support locking content on them while
dropping, which allows dropping from another special remote when the
content will only remain on a special remote of these types.
In both cases, verify the content is present actively, because it's
certianly possible for things other than git-annex to have removed it.
Worth thinking about what to do if at some later point, git-lfs gains
support for dropping content, and a content locking operation.
That would probably need a transition; first would need to make lockContent
use the locking operation. Then, once enough time had passed that we can
assume any git-annex operating on the git-lfs remote had that change,
git-annex could finally allow dropping from git-lfs.
Or, it could be that git-lfs gains support for dropping content, but not
locking it. In that case, it seems this commit would need to be reverted,
and then wait long enough for that git-annex to be everywhere, and only
then can git-annex safely support dropping from git-lfs.
So, the assumption made in this commit could lead to bother later.. But I
think it's actually highly unlikely git-lfs does ever support dropping;
it's outside their centralized model. Probably. :) Worth keeping in mind as
the same assumption is made about other special remotes though.

git is making that configurable, and configuring it globally would break

Otherwise use the vendored copy as before.
The library is in Debian testing but not stable. Once it reaches
stable, the vendored copy can be removed.
Did not add it to debian/control because IIRC that's used to build

probably want to make the package depend on libghc-http-client-restricted-dev

Fix a deadlock that could occur after git-annex got an unlocked file,
causing the command to hang indefinitely.
Known to happen on vfat filesystems, possibly others.
Note that a deadlock is still theoretically possible, if anything
smudge --clean does causes it to run the git queue for some other
reason.
Apparently that doesn't happen, but will need to keep an eye on it.
That made eg git-annex get of an unlocked file hang until the
annex.pidlocktimeout and then fail.
This fix should be fully thread safe no matter what else git-annex is
doing.
Only using runsGitAnnexChildProcess in the one place it's known to be a
problem. Could audit for all places where git-annex runs itself as a child
and add it to all of them, later.
Fix bug that made creds not be stored in git when a special remote was
initialized with gpg encryption, but without an explicit embedcreds=yes.
(Yet nother regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7. 5th so far.)
This makes the creds get saved, since only things recorded there will be
saved.
IIRC, unparsedRemoteConfig was not originally available when I
implemented this; now that it is things get a bit simpler.
More could probably be simplified, is externalConfigChanges needed at
all?
This does not entirely fix the bugs though, because creds are only
embedded when embedcreds=yes, but not when encryption=pubkey is used
without embedcreds=yes.
checkpresentkey: When no remote is specified, try all remotes, not only
ones that the location log says contain the key. This is what the
documentation has always said it did.
Still try the logged remotes first, because they are far more likely to
have the key.
* Improve display of problems auto-initializing or upgrading local git
remotes.
* When a local git remote cannot be initialized because it has no
git-annex branch or a .noannex file, avoid displaying a message about it.
So stop documenting it, and stop offering it as a choice in the assistant.
Removed the code that parses it into S3.ReducedRedundancy, because
S3.OtherStorageClass with the value will work just the same and avoids a
special case for a deprecated this.
The ContentIdentifier can contain almost anything, so could have characters
that are not fit for the filesystem, or might be longer than a key usually
is, or contain a newline, or .... genKeyName deals with those problems.
This should not present a back-compat issue, because this is a temporary
key used while downloading the imported file, before the real key for it
can be generated.
Since an external process can be in the middle of some operation when an
async exception is received, it has to be shut down then. Using
cleanupProcess will close its IO handles and send it a SIGTERM.
If a special remote choses to catch SIGTERM, it's fine for it to do some
cleanup then, but until it finishes, git-annex will be blocked waiting
for it. If a special remote blocked SIGTERM, it would cause a hang.
Mentioned in docs.
Also, in passing, fixed a FD leak, it was not closing the error handle
when shutting down the external. In practice that didn't matter before because
it was only run when git-annex was itself shutting down, but now that it
can run on exception, it would have been a problem.
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.
Try to enable special remotes configured with autoenable=yes when git-annex
auto-initialization happens in a new clone of an existing repo. Previously,
git-annex init had to be explicitly run to enable them. That was a bit of a
wart of a special case for users to need to keep in mind.
Special remotes cannot display anything when autoenabled this way, to avoid
interfering with the output of git-annex query commands.
Any error messages will be hidden, and if it fails, nothing is displayed.
The user will realize the remote isn't enable when they try to use it,
and can run git-annex init manually then to try the autoenable again and
see what failed.
That seems like a reasonable approach, and it's less complicated than
communicating something across a pipe in order to display it as a side
message. Other reason not to do that is that, if the first command the
user runs is one like git-annex find that has machine readable output,
any message about autoenable failing would need to not be displayed anyway.
So better to not display a failure message ever, for consistency.
(Had to split out Remote.List.Util to avoid an import cycle.)
Fix a crash or potentially not all files being exported when sync -J
--content is used with an export remote.
Crash as described in fixed bug report.
waitForAllRunningCommandActions inserted in several points where all the
commandActions started before need to have finished before moving on to
the next stage of the export. A race across those points could have
maybe resulted in not all files being exported, or a wrong tree being
export.
For example, changeExport starting up an action like
a rename of A to B. Then, with that action still running, fillExport
uploading a new A, *before* the rename occurred. That race seems
unlikely to have happened. There are some other ones that this also
fixes.
move --to, copy --to, mirror --to: When concurrency is enabled, run cleanup
actions in separate job pool from uploads.
transferStages was confusingly named, it's only useful when doing downloads
as then the verify actions can be run concurrently with other downloads.
For commands that upload, there will be more concurrency from running
cleanup actions in a separate job pool.
As for sync, I left it using downloadStages although that's not optimal
for the part of a sync that uploads. Perhaps it should use the union of
both?
Already supported --json, but not that.
Also checked all other commands that only support --json, and the only
other one that does transfers is fsck (--from), which it did not seem worth
adding --json-progress to really.
Fix bug that made enableremote of S3 and webdav remotes, that have
embedcreds=yes, fail to set up the embedded creds, so accessing the remotes
failed.
(Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7 in when reworking all the
remote configs to be parsed.)
Root problem is that parseEncryptionConfig excludes all other config keys
except encryption ones, so it is then unable to find the
credPairRemoteField. And since that field is not required to be
present, it proceeds as if it's not, rather than failing in any visible
way.
This causes it to not find any creds, and so it does not cache
them. When when the S3 remote tries to make a S3 connection, it finds no
creds, so assumes it's being used in no-creds mode, and tries to find a
public url. With no public url available, it fails, but the failure doesn't
say a lack of creds is the problem.
Fix is to provide setRemoteCredPair with a ParsedRemoteConfig, so the full
set of configs of the remote can be parsed. A bit annoying to need to
parse the remote config before the full config (as returned by
setRemoteCredPair) is available, but this avoids the problem.
I assume webdav also had the problem by inspection, but didn't try to
reproduce it with it.
Also, getRemoteCredPair used getRemoteConfigValue to get a ProposedAccepted
String, but that does not seem right. Now that it runs that code, it
crashed saying it had just a String.
Remotes that have already been enableremoted, and so lack the cached creds
file will work after this fix, because getRemoteCredPair will extract
the creds from the remote config, writing the missing file.

One way this can be used is to remove all urls for some website that went
away:
git-annex whereis --format '${file} ${url}\0' | \
grep -z whatever.com | git-annex rmurl --batch -z
Combining ${url} and ${uuid} is a bit of a combinatorial explosion.
It didn't seem worth only outputting a uuid alongside an url belonging
to it, so each uuid is output beside each url.
When storing content on remote fails, always display a reason why.
Since the Storer used by special remotes already did, this mostly affects
git remotes, but not entirely. For example, if git-lfs failed to connect to
the endpoint, it used to silently return False.
This relicates git's behavior. It adds a few stat calls for the command
line parameters, so there is some minor slowdown, but even with thousands
of parameters it will not be very noticable, and git does the same statting
in similar circumstances.
Note that this does not prevent eg "git annex add symlink"; the symlink
will be added to git as usual. And "git annex find symlink" will silently
list nothing as well. It's only "symlink/foo" or "subdir/symlink/foo" that
triggers the warning.
* addurl --preserve-filename: New option, uses server-provided filename
without any sanitization, but with some security checking.
Not yet implemented for remotes other than the web.
* addurl, importfeed: Avoid adding filenames with leading '.', instead
it will be replaced with '_'.
This might be considered a security fix, but a CVE seems unwattanted.
It was possible for addurl to create a dotfile, which could change
behavior of some program. It was also possible for a web server to say
the file name was ".git" or "foo/.git". That would not overrwrite the
.git directory, but would cause addurl to fail; of course git won't
add "foo/.git".
sanitizeFilePath is too opinionated to remain in Utility, so moved it.
The changes to mkSafeFilePath are because it used sanitizeFilePath.
In particular:
isDrive will never succeed, because "c:" gets munged to "c_"
".." gets sanitized now
".git" gets sanitized now
It will never be null, because sanitizeFilePath keeps the length
the same, and splitDirectories never returns a null path.
Also, on the off chance a web server suggests a filename of "",
ignore that, rather than trying to save to such a filename, which would
fail in some way.
git-lfs repos that encrypt the annexed content but not the git repo only
need --force passed to initremote, allow enableremote and autoenable of
such remotes without forcing again.
Needing --force again particularly made autoenable of such a repo not work.
And once such a repo has been set up, it seems a second --force when
enabling it elsewhere has little added value. It does tell the user about
the possibly insecure configuration, but if the git repo has already been
pushed to that remote in the clear, data has already been exposed. The goal
of that --force was not to prevent every situation where such an exposure
can happen -- anyone who sets up a public git repo and pushes to it will
expose things similarly and git-annex is not involved. Instead, the purpose
of the --force is to point out to the user that they're asking for a
configuration where encryption is inconsistently applied.
To use S3 Signature Version 4. Some S3 services seem to require v4, while
others may only support v2, which remains the default.
I'm also not sure if v4 works correctly in all cases, there is this
upstream bug report: https://github.com/aristidb/aws/issues/262
I've only tested it against the default S3 endpoint.
37b42e72e7 made it catch exceptions but
thought they were unlikely to be useful to display, which may be right when
a git command fails, but not in the case yoh found.
Now the warning gets displayed, which is better than an arcane git error.
The warning is still kind of ugly, especially when the pull later in the
sync will clear up what it warns about. But, this is an unusual situation
not likely to happen, and if there is no remote to pull from, the warning
message is needed or the sync will seem to succeed despite not merging the
synced master branch.
Would still be better if it could merge the synced master branch in this
situation, making an empty commit to master to do it seems wrong, and
otherwise it would need a whole separate code path, and would bypass using
git merge in favor of say, setting master to the syned branch. Which would
bypass git configs like arguably merge.ff and certianly
merge.verifySignatures. So don't want to do that.
User reported git@my.gitlab.foo:username/myrepo.git didn't work with
git-repair, because it rewrites it to an url
ssh://git@my.gitlab.foo/~/username/myrepo.git
and the /~/ was not something the hosting site supported.
Since git-annex still generally needs the repo url to be well, an url, did
not change the conversion code. But in this case, we're running git fetch,
so we might as well pass it the remote name rather than the url.
Did a quick audit of repoLocation uses to see if there was anything else
like this problem elsewhere, and didn't see any. But this is not the first
time this special case in git and git-annex's attempt to de-special-case
it has caused a problem..
* Display a warning message when a remote uses a protocol, such as
git://, that git-annex does not support. Silently skipping such a
remote was confusing behavior.
It sets annex-ignore, so the warning is only displayed once.
* Also display a warning message when a remote, without a known uuid,
is located in a directory that does not currently exist, to avoid
silently skipping such a remote.
This is a bit more debatable, since git-annex get will say,
try making repository available. And since it does not set annex-ignore,
the warning will be displayed repeatedly. It's also an extreme edge case,
I don't think I've ever seen it happen in real life.
Due to eg, too long a path to the agent socket, caused by running gpg in a
container where /run is not mounted, and/or some other gpg behavior like
unnecessarily making relative paths to its home directory absolute.
When the required content is set to "groupwanted", use whatever expression
has been set in groupwanted as the required content of the repo, similar to
how setting required content to "standard" already worked.
addurl: When run with --fast on an url that
annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses prevents accessing, display a more
useful message.
(Also importfeed --fast potentially.)
Do not sync with a faster remote that was not specified.
That old behavior was only documented in the changelog, and was certianly
surprising. It also meant adding --fast made it slower..
readonly=true is used to make an external special remote that does not
need the external program to be installed. It was stored in the
remote.log by default, and so every time it was specified in an
enableremote or initremote, whatever value was used became the new
default for subsequent enableremotes of that remote.
That was surprising, and I consider it to be a bug.
It does not make much sense to pass it to initremote because then how
would you populate that remote with anything? You would have to
enableremote elsewhere, and store content there. I'm assuming nobody
used it that way.
Someone might rely on passing it to enableremote once, and then that
being inherited in other clones. But that is not how it's documented to
be used. It is barely documented in git-annex at all, only in the
external special remote protocol, and the documentation there says to
"Document that this external special remote can be used in readonly
mode." (by the user of it passing readonly=true to enableremote). The
one external special remote that I know of that does document that is
<https://github.com/bgilbert/gcsannex> (the one that motivated adding
it). That one's docs do say to pass it to enableremote.
So, it seemed safe to make this behavior change. If someone was in fact
relying on one of those behaviors, all their current repos will still
work as they configured them (although they will need to deal
with the related change in 9f3c2dfeda).
In new clones, they will find enableremote fails, complaining the
external program is not in path. An easy enough problem to recover from.
get --from, move --from: When used with a local git remote, these used to
silently skip files that the location log thought were present on the
remote, when the remote actually no longer contained them. Since that
behavior could be surprising, now instead display a warning.
I got very confused when I encountered this behavior, since it was silently
skipping a file I needed that whereis said was on the remote.
get without --from already displayed a "unable to access these remotes"
message, which while a bit misleading in that the remote is likely
accessible, but just doesn't contain the file, at least indicated something
went wrong.
Having get --from display a warning makes it in line with get
w/o --from, so seems certianly ok. It might be there are situations where
move --from is used, on eg a whole directory, and the user only wants to
move whatever is present in the remote, and is perfectly ok with files
that are not present being skipped. So I'm less sure about the new warning
being ok there. OTOH, only local git remotes avoiding displaying a warning
in that case too, so this just brings them into line with other remotes.
(Also note that this makes it a little bit faster when dealing with a lot of
files, since it avoids a redundant stat of the file.)
Limited to min of -JN or number of CPU cores, because it will often be
CPU bound, once it's read the gitignore file for a directory.
In some situations it's more disk bound, but in any case it's unlikely
to be the main bottleneck that -J is used to avoid. Eg, when dropping,
this is used for numcopies checks, but the main bottleneck will be
accessing the remotes to verify presence. So the user might decide to
-J32 that, but having 32 check-attr processes would just waste however
many filehandles they open, and probably worsen their performance due to
CPU contention.
Note that, I first tried just letting up to the -JN be started. However,
even when it's no bottleneck at all, that still results in all of them
being started. Why? Well, all the worker threads start up nearly
simulantaneously, so there's a thundering herd..
Avoid running a large number of git cat-file child processes when run with
a large -J value.
This implementation takes care to avoid adding any overhead to git-annex
when run without -J. When run with -J, there is a small bit of added
overhead, to manipulate the resource pool. That optimisation added a
fair bit of complexity.
Avoid repeatedly opening keys db when accessing a local git remote and -J
is used.
What was happening was that Remote.Git.onLocal created a new annex state
as each thread started up. The way the MVar was used did not prevent that.
And that, in turn, led to repeated opening of the keys db, as well as
probably other extra work or resource use.
Also managed to get rid of Annex.remoteannexstate, and it turned out there
was an unncessary Maybe in the keysdbhandle, since the handle starts out
closed.
This change does impact git-annex config
eg "git annex config --set annex.addunlocked on"
will store "on" and new git-annex will understand that value, while
old git-annex will error:
git-annex: bad annex.addunlocked configuration in git annex config:
Parse failure: near "on"
That seems acceptable.
Not special remote configs that are only documented as =true or =false
however. Having git-annex support other values for those would break
backwards compatability when used with old versions of git-annex. And
older versions ignore invalid special remote configs.. That would not
be a good combination.
Eg"core.bare" is the same as "core.bare = true".
Note that git treats "core.bare =" the same as "core.bare = false", so the
code had to become more complicated in order to treat the absense of a
value differently than an empty value. Ugh.
Git has an obnoxious special case in git config, a line "foo" is the same
as "foo = true". That means there is no way to examine the output of
git config and tell if it was run with --null or not, since a "foo"
in the first line could be such a boolean, or could be followed by its
value on the next line if --null were used.
So, rather than trying to do such a detection, track the style of config
at all the points where it's generated.
Around 3% total speedup.
Profiling git annex find --not --in web, it's now bytestring end-to-end,
and there is only a little added overhead in eg accessing the Annex
state MVar (3%). The rest of the runtime is spent reading symlinks, and
in attoparsec.
This feels like the end of the optimisation road, without a major change
like caching information for faster queries.
The only price paid is one additional MVar read per write to the journal.
Presumably writing a journal file dominiates over a MVar read time by
several orders of magnitude.
--batch does not get the speedup because then it needs to notice when
another process has made a change. Also made the assistant and other damon
modes bypass the optimisation, which would not help them anyway.
After a user completely ignored the display of the exception probably
because it didn't make sense..
This does make it a little bit slower since it checks adb is in path each
time before running it. Also, it might display a lot of warnings about it
not being installed.
