This includes a generic JSONStream library built on top of Text.JSON
(somewhat hackishly).
It would be possible to stream out a single json document describing
all actions, but it's probably better for consumers if they can expect
one json document per line, so I did it that way instead.
Output from external programs used for transferring files is not
currently hidden when outputting json, which probably makes it not very
useful there. This may be dealt with if there is demand for json
output for --get or --move to be parsable.
The version, status, and find subcommands have hand-crafted output and
don't do json. The whereis subcommand needs to be modified to produce
useful json.
Haskell's IO layer crashes on characters > 255 when in a non-unicode (latin1)
locale. Until Haskell gets better behavior, put in an admittedly ugly
workaround for that: git-annex forces utf8 output mode no matter what
locale is selected. So if you use a non-utf8 locale, your filenames with
characters > 127 will not be displayed as you'd expect. But at least it
won't crash.
Based on http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3307 ,
whether FilePath contains decoded unicode varies by OS.
So, add a configure check for it.
Also, renamed showFile to filePathToString
Internally, the filenames are stored as un-decoded unicode.
I tried decoding them, but then haskell tries to access the wrong files.
Hmm.
So, I've unhappily chosen option "B", which is to decode filenames before
they are displayed.
Moved away from a map of flags to storing config directly in the AnnexState
structure. Got rid of most accessor functions in Annex.
This allowed supporting multiple --exclude flags.
