I had hoped that the git devs could change git's handling of partial
commits to not use a false index file, but seems not.
So, this relies on some git internals to detect that case. The test suite
has a test case added to catch it if changes to git break it.

Now `git annex info $remote` shows info specific to the type of the remote,
for example, it shows the rsync url.
Remote types that support encryption or chunking also include that in their
info.

This avoids making the parameters column quite wide, which caused
descriptions of other commands to not fit in 80 cols in the usage display.
FIELD=VALUE is a simplification, but so was the old display. The man page
gives more detail.
This is not a complete fix. For one, git remote will happily go add a
remote that has the same name as an existing special remote. For another,
enableremote will enable a special remote over top of an existing git
remote. And, also, the webapp might.

Unfortunately there is some inline hamlet that cannot use tabs for
indentation.
Also, Assistant/WebApp/Bootstrap3.hs is a copy of a module and so I'm
leaving it as-is.
This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory

This avoids cp -a overriding the default mode acls that the user might have
set in a git repository.
With GNU cp, this behavior change should not be a breaking change, because
git-anex also uses rsync sometimes in the same situation, and has only ever
preserved timestamps when using rsync.
Systems without GNU cp will no longer use cp -a, but instead just cp.
So, timestamps will no longer be preserved. Preserving timestamps when
copying between repos is not guaranteed anyway.
Closes: #729757
This fixed one bug where it needed to be and wasn't (in Assistant.Unused).
And also found one place where lockContent was used unnecessarily (by
drop --from remote).
A few other places like uninit probably don't really need to lockContent,
but it doesn't hurt to do call it anyway.
This commit was sponsored by David Wagner.
The nice refactoring in ec7dd0446a
highlighted a bug in lockContent -- when the content is not present,
this incorrectly created an empty lock file, using the same filename
as the content file.
This seems like it could result in empty objects, which fsck would detect
and complain about. Both drop and move --to call lockContent, as does
Remote.Git.dropKey -- I think we got lucky and this bug didn't show up
because both all of those only operate on files that are present. So
this bug could only manifest if there was a race, and a file's content
was dropped at just the wrong time, just as another process was about to
drop it. (And then only if the other process's dropping failed, otherwise
it'd delete the empty object file.)
Hmm, move --from also called lockContent. Unnecessarily, since the content
is not being removed from the local annex. In this case, the combination of
the 2 bugs could result in an empty lock file being written, and then if
the download of the content failed, left in the object directory as the
content.
This commit also optimises lockContent, avoiding an unncessary
doesFileExist test and instead just catching the exception that's thrown
when the file doesn't exist.

This fixes at part of #758630. I reproduced the assistant locking eg, a
removable drive's annex journal lock file and forking a long-running
git-cat-file process that inherited that lock.
This did not affect Windows.
Considered doing a portable Utility.LockFile layer, but git-annex uses
posix locks in several special ways that have no direct Windows equivilant,
and it seems like it would mostly be a complication.

Added a mkUnavailable method, which a Remote can use to generate a version
of itself that is not available. Implemented for several, but not yet all
remotes.
This allows testing that checkPresent properly throws an exceptions when
it cannot check if a key is present or not. It also allows testing that the
other methods don't throw exceptions in these circumstances.
This immediately found several bugs, which this commit also fixes!
* git remotes using ssh accidentially had checkPresent return
an exception, rather than throwing it
* The chunking code accidentially returned False rather than
propigating an exception when there were no chunks and
checkPresent threw an exception for the non-chunked key.

Removed old extensible-exceptions, only needed for very old ghc.
Made webdav use Utility.Exception, to work after some changes in DAV's
exception handling.
Removed Annex.Exception. Mostly this was trivial, but note that
tryAnnex is replaced with tryNonAsync and catchAnnex replaced with
catchNonAsync. In theory that could be a behavior change, since the former
caught all exceptions, and the latter don't catch async exceptions.
However, in practice, nothing in the Annex monad uses async exceptions.
Grepping for throwTo and killThread only find stuff in the assistant,
which does not seem related.
Command.Add.undo is changed to accept a SomeException, and things
that use it for rollback now catch non-async exceptions, rather than
only IOExceptions.
Now git-annex-shell recvkey, when the key is already present, allows
another copy to be rsynced up, and just throws it away.
This same behavior could have already happened before, when eg, two repos
tried to upload the same object at the same time. So this makes the test
suite pass, and should not add any bad behavior, other than slightly more
work being done in a rather edge case.
This relies on moveAnnex's behavior of keeping the current version of an
object.
And fixed a bug found by these tests; retrieveKeyFile would fail
when the dest file was already complete.

This only performs some basic tests so far; no testing of chunking or

would be good later to derive an encrypted and a non-encrypted version of
the remote and test them both.

Support users who have set commit.gpgsign, by disabling gpg signatures for
git-annex branch commits and commits made by the assistant.
The thinking here is that a user sets commit.gpgsign intending the commits
that they manually initiate to be gpg signed. But not commits made in the
background, whether by a deamon or implicitly to the git-annex branch.
gpg signing those would be at best a waste of CPU and at worst would fail,
or flood the user with gpg passphrase prompts, or put their signature on
changes they did not directly do.
See Debian bug #753720.
Also makes all commits done by git-annex go through a few central control
points, to make such changes easier in future.
Also disables commit.gpgsign in the test suite.

When annex.genmetadata is set, metadata from the feed is added to files
that are imported from it.
Reused the same feedtitle and itemtitle, feedauthor, itemauthor, etc names
that are used in --template.
Also added title and author, which are the item title/author if available,
falling back to the feed title/author. These are more likely to be common
metadata fields.
(There is a small bit of dupication here, but once git gets
around to packing the object, it will compress it away.)
The itempubdate field is not included in the metadata as a string; instead
it is used to generate year and month fields, same as is done when adding
files with annex.genmetadata set.

I had thought that this was already done, but apparently not. There may
have been a reversion around version 5.20140606. Anna's laptop had its
desktop menu file etc having that version despite having upgraded git-annex
to a newer version. However, I could not find any commits that removed a
call to ensureInstalled.
When in direct mode, update the master branch after committing to the
annex/direct/master branch. Also, update the synced/master branch.
This fixes a topology A->B where both A and B are in direct mode and
running the assistant, and a change is made to B. Before this fix, A pulled
the changes from B, but since they were only on the annex/direct/master
branch, it did not merge them.
Note that I considered making the assistant merge the
remotes/B/annex/direct/master, but decided to keep it simple and only merge
the sync branches as before.
Rather than calculating the TSDelta once, and caching it, this now
reads the inode sential file's InodeCache file once, and then each time a
new InodeCache is generated, looks at the sentinal file to get the current
delta.
This way, if the time zone changes while git-annex is running, it will
adapt.
This adds some inneffiency, but only on Windows, and only 1 stat per new
file added. The worst innefficiency is that `git annex status` and
`git annex sync` will now (on Windows) stat the inode sentinal file once per
file in the repo.
It would be more efficient to use getCurrentTimeZone, rather than needing
to stat the sentinal file. This should be easy to do, once the time
package gets my bugfix patch.
This commit was sponsored by Jürgen Lüters.
On Windows, changing the time zone causes the apparent mtime of files to
change. This confuses git-annex, which natually thinks this means the files
have actually been modified (since THAT'S WHAT A MTIME IS FOR, BILL <sheesh>).
Work around this stupidity, by using the inode sentinal file to detect if
the timezone has changed, and calculate a TSDelta, which will be applied
when generating InodeCaches.
This should add no overhead at all on unix. Indeed, I sped up a few
things slightly in the refactoring.
Seems to basically work! But it has a big known problem:
If the timezone changes while the assistant (or a long-running command)
runs, it won't notice, since it only checks the inode cache once, and
so will use the old delta for all new inode caches it generates for new
files it's added. Which will result in them seeming changed the next time
it runs.

This avoids a potential slowdown when using lots of views.
I think that it makes sense for unused to ignore (local) view branches,
since these are by definition supposed to be views of an existing branch,
so looking at the branch should be sufficient (and if the view is out of
date and has files that have since been deleted from the branch, the user's
intent is not to preserve those from unused reaping).
Note that TransferInfo does not always contain the Remote, although
any transfer added to the TransferQueue does have a Remote in its
TransferInfo. The transferkeys command still accepts a UUID, which is
useful to handle upgrades, where an old assistant version runs the new
transferkeys.

It is useful to be able to specify an alternative git-annex-shell
program to execute on the remote, e.g., to run a version not on the
PATH. Use remote.<name>.annex-shell if specified, instead of the
default "git-annex-shell" i.e., first so-named executable on the
PATH.
Only fsck and reinject and the test suite used the Backend, and they can
look it up as needed from the Key. This simplifies the code and also speeds
it up.
There is a small behavior change here. Before, all commands would warn when
acting on an annexed file with an unknown backend. Now, only fsck and
reinject show that warning.
To do so, I slightly changed the behavior of unannex. Now in fast mode, it
only makes a hard link when the annexed file's link count is 1. This avoids
unannexing 2 files with the same content in fast mode from hard linking
them together. (One will end up hard linked to the annex, which the docs
warn about.)
With that change, uninit can simply always run unannex in fast mode. Since
.git/annex/objects is being blown away anyway, there's no worry in this
case about a hard link pointing into it causing an annexed object to be
modified.
For sync, saves 1 ssh connection per remote. For remotedaemon, the same
ssh connection that is already open to run git-annex-shell notifychanges
is reused to pull from the remote.
Only potential problem is that this also enables connection caching
when the assistant syncs with a ssh remote. Including the sync it does
when a network connection has just come up. In that case, cached ssh
connections are likely to be stale, and so using them would hang.
Until I'm sure such problems have been dealt with, this commit needs to
stay on the remotecontrol branch, and not be merged to master.

This includes checking when dropping files that any required content

Note that this is a nearly entirely free feature. The data was already
stored in the metadata log in an easily accessible way, and already was
parsed to a time when parsing the log. The generation of the metadata
fields may even be done lazily, although probably not entirely (the map
has to be evaulated to when queried).
unused: In direct mode, files that are deleted from the work tree are no longer incorrectly detected as unused.
Direct mode `git annex info` slows down a bit due to more stringent
checking, but not by a lot.
This is a new feature, it was not handled before, since it's a bit of an
edge case. However, it can be handled exactly the same as a file/dir
conflict, just leave the non-annexed item alone.
While implementing this, the core resolveMerge' function got a lot simpler
and clearer. Note especially that where before there was an asymetric call to
stagefromdirectmergedir, now graftin is called symmetrically in both cases.
And, in order to add that `graftin us`, the current branch needed to be
known (if there is no current branch, there cannot be a merge conflict).
This led to some cleanups of how autoMergeFrom behaved when there is no
current branch.

I think that 751f496c11 didn't quite manage
to actually fix the bug, although I have not checked since its "fix" got
redone.
The test suite now actually checks the file staged in git is a symlink,
rather than relying on the bug casing a later sync failure. This seems a
more reliable way to detect it, and probably avoids a heisenbug in the test
suite.
Added test cases for both ways this can happen, with a conflict involving a
file, or a directory.
Cleaned up resolveMerge to not touch the work tree in direct mode, which
turned out to be the only way to handle things.. And makes it much nicer.
Still need to run test suite on windows.
Using the extract(1) program to do the heavy lifting.
Decided to make git-annex run pre-commit-annex when committing. Since
git-annex pre-commit also runs it, it'll be run when git commit is run too,
via the pre-commit hook. This basically gives back the pre-commit hook
that git-annex took away. The implementation avoids repeatedly looking
for the hook script when the assistant is running and committing
repeatedly; only checks if the hook is available once.
To make the script simpler, made git-annex metadata -s field?=value
only set a field when it's not already got a value.

This allows eg, putting .git/annex/tmp on a ram disk, if the disk IO
of temp object files is too annoying (and if you don't want to keep
partially transferred objects across reboots).
.git/annex/misctmp must be on the same filesystem as the git work tree,
since files are moved to there in a way that will not work cross-device,
as well as symlinked into there.
I first wanted to put the tmp objects in .git/annex/objects/tmp, but
that would pose transition problems on upgrade when partially transferred
objects existed.
git annex info does not currently show the size of .git/annex/misctemp,
since it should stay small. It would also be ok to make something clean it
out, periodically.
Performance impact: When adding a large tree of new files, this needs
to do some git cat-file queries to check if any of the files already
existed and might need a metadata copy. I tried a benchmark in a copy
of my sound repository (so there was already a significant git tree
to check against.
Adding 10000 small files, with a cold cache:
before: 1m48.539s
after: 1m52.791s
So, impact is 0.0004 seconds per file added. Which seems acceptable, so did
not add some kind of configuration to enable/disable this.

When constructing views, metadata is available about the location of the
file in the view's reference branch. Allows incorporating parts of the
directory hierarchy in a view.
For example `git annex view tag=* podcasts/=*` makes a view in the form
tag/showname.
Performance impact: I benchmarked git annex view tag=* in the conference
proceedings repo to take 6.459s before this change, and 6.544s after.
FWIW, I considered making the syntax for this be podcasts/*, which might
be easier for the user to learn. However, I think it's not as good:
* The user has to then juggle two different syntaxes, and podcasts/* will
be expanded by the shell so they also need to quote it, while podcasts/=*
is unlikely to be expanded by the shell.
* It would allow for things like podcasts/*/* and *.mp3 which do not
map well into views.
This commit was sponsored by Aurélien Pinceaux.
While writing this documentation, I realized that there needed to be a way
to stay in a view like tag=* while adding a filter like tag=work that
applies to the same field.
So, there are really two ways a view can be refined. It can have a new
"field=explicitvalue" filter added to it, which does not change the
"shape" of the view, but narrows the files it shows.
Or, it can have a new view added, which adds another level of
subdirectories.
So, added a vfilter command, which takes explicit values to add to the
filter, and rejects changes that would change the shape of the view.
And, made vadd only accept changes that change the shape of the view.
And, changed the View data type slightly; now components that can match
multiple metadata values can be visible, or not visible.
This commit was sponsored by Stelian Iancu.
So the user can now switch to a view and then move files around within it
to manage metadata. For example, moving a file into a new directory
when in the tags=* view adds a tag to it.
Implementation is fairly efficient. One diff-index, which is no more
expensive than the first stage of a git commit, followed by possibly
some cat-file --batch traffic to find the key (when deleting a file).
Very similar to what's done in direct mode when committing. And like
direct mode when updating the WC after a merge, it has to buffer the
diff-tree values in order to make 2 passes over them.
When not in a view, pre-commit now does one extra git symbolic-ref,
which is tiny overhead.
This commit was sponsored by Andrew Eskridge.
Removed instance, got it all to build using fromRef. (With a few things
that really need to show something using a ref for debugging stubbed out.)
Then added back Read instance, and made Logs.View use it for serialization.
This changes the view log format.
(And a vpop command, which is still a bit buggy.)
Still need to do vadd and vrm, though this also adds their documentation.
Currently not very happy with the view log data serialization. I had to
lose the TDFA regexps temporarily, so I can have Read/Show instances of
View. I expect the view log format will change in some incompatable way
later, probably adding last known refs for the parent branch to View
or something like that.
Anyway, it basically works, although it's a bit slow looking up the
metadata. The actual git branch construction is about as fast as it can be
using the current git plumbing.

Potentially fixes some FD leak if an action on an opened file handle fails

Need to include the uuid of the local repo in the list of belived locations
of a key after getting it, in order for the drop from remote to include it
in the numcopies calculation.
* sync --content: Honor annex-ignore configuration.
* sync: Don't try to sync with xmpp remotes, which are only currently
supported when using the assistant.
Several places assumed this would not happen, and when the AssociatedFile
was Nothing, did nothing.
As part of this, preferred content checks pass the Key around.
Note that checkMatcher is sometimes now called with Just Key and Just File.
It currently constructs a FileMatcher, ignoring the Key. However, if it
constructed a FileKeyMatcher, which contained both, then it might be
possible to speed up parts of Limit, which currently call the somewhat
expensive lookupFileKey to get the Key.
I have not made this optimisation yet, because I am not sure if the key is
always the same. Will need some significant checking to satisfy myself
that's the case..
This will be used in expiring old unused objects. The timestamp is when it
was first noticed it was unused.
Backwards compatability: It supports reading old format unused log files.
The old version of git-annex will ignore lines in log files written by the
new version, so the worst interop problem would be git annex dropunused not
knowing some numbers that git-annex unused reported.
* numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all
clones of a repository.
* The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies
command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies
git configs will be ignored.
* assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies.
This global numcopies setting is needed to let preferred content
expressions operate on numcopies.
It's also convenient, because typically if you want git-annex to preserve N
copies of files in a repo, you want it to do that no matter which repo it's
running in. Making it global avoids needing to warn the user about gotchas
involving inconsistent annex.numcopies settings.
(See changes to doc/numcopies.mdwn.)
Added a new variety of git-annex branch log file, that holds only 1 value.

I've been disliking how the command seek actions were written for some
time, with their inversion of control and ugly workarounds.
The last straw to fix it was sync --content, which didn't fit the
Annex [CommandStart] interface well at all. I have not yet made it take
advantage of the changed interface though.
The crucial change, and probably why I didn't do it this way from the
beginning, is to make each CommandStart action be run with exceptions
caught, and if it fails, increment a failure counter in annex state.
So I finally remove the very first code I wrote for git-annex, which
was before I had exception handling in the Annex monad, and so ran outside
that monad, passing state explicitly as it ran each CommandStart action.
This was a real slog from 1 to 5 am.
Test suite passes.
Memory usage is lower than before, sometimes by a couple of megabytes, and
remains constant, even when running in a large repo, and even when
repeatedly failing and incrementing the error counter. So no accidental
laziness space leaks.
Wall clock speed is identical, even in large repos.
This commit was sponsored by an anonymous bitcoiner.
Similar to the assistant, this honors any configured preferred content
expressions.
I am not entirely happpy with the implementation. It would be nicer if
the seek function returned a list of actions which included the individual
file gets and copies and drops, rather than the current list of calls to
syncContent. This would allow getting rid of the somewhat reundant display
of "sync file [ok|failed]" after the get/put display.
But, do that, withFilesInGit would need to somehow be able to construct
such a mixed action list. And it would be less efficient than the current
implementation, which is able to reuse several values between eg get and
drop.
Note that currently this does not try to satisfy numcopies when
getting/putting files (numcopies are of course checked when dropping
files!) This makes it like the assistant, and unlike get --auto
and copy --auto, which do duplicate files when numcopies is not yet
satisfied. I don't know if this is the right decision; it only seemed to
make sense to have this parallel the assistant as far as possible to start
with, since I know the assistant works.
This commit was sponsored by Øyvind Andersen Holm.
Noticed that it was possible for add to move a file to .git/annex/objects
and not make the link if the disk was full. This happened because the
location log update failed, and so addLink never got a chance to run.
Running addLink first fixes it; on error it will unwind by moving the file
back to where it was originally.
This adds a http HEAD before the download is done. That was already the
case when the assistant was running, and it seems worth it to avoid filling
up the whole disk, like happened to my server today.
Fixed up a number of things that had worked around there not being a way to
get that.
Most notably, transfer info files on windows now include the process id,
since no locking is currently done. This means the file format varies
between windows and unix.
transferkeys had used special FDs for communication, but that would be
quite annoying to do in Windows.
Instead, use stdin and stdout. But, to avoid commands like rsync stomping
on them and messing up the communications channel, they're duplicated to a
different handle; stdin is replaced with a null handle, and stdout is
replaced with a copy of stderr. This should all work in windows too.
Stopping in progress transfers may work on windows.. if the types unify
anyway. ;) May need some more porting.
Fixes a test case I received where a corrupted repo was repaired, but the
git-annex branch was not. The root of the problem was that the
MissingObject returned by the repair code was not necessarily a complete
set of all objects that might have been deleted during the repair.
So, stop trying to return that at all, and instead make the index file
checking code explicitly verify that each object the index uses is present.
Previous test did not notice if there is a dangling symlink.
Also, if a directory exists with the same name as the imported file, that
cannot work, so don't let --force have an effect.
Note that the hash backends were made to stop printing a (checksum..)
message as part of this, since it showed up without a file when deciding
whether to act on a file. Should have probably removed that message a while
ago anyway, I suppose.
The assistant's commit code also always avoids git commit, for simplicity.
Indirect mode sync still does a git commit -a to catch unstaged changes.
Note that this means that direct mode sync no longer runs the pre-commit
hook or any other hooks git commit might call. The git annex pre-commit
hook action for direct mode is however explicitly run. (The assistant
already ran git commit with hooks disabled, so no change there.)
Option parsing for commands that run outside git repos is still screwy,
as there is no Annex monad and so the flags cannot be passed in. But,
any remaining parameters can be, which is enough for this fix.
Because that allowed writing to symlinks of files that are not present,
which followed the link and put bad content in an object location.
fsck: Fix up .git/annex/object directory permissions.

Complicated by such repositories potentially being repos that should have
an annex.uuid, but it failed to be gotten, perhaps due to the past ssh repo
setup bugs. This is handled now by an Upgrade Repository button.
Adding the file moved it to the annex, and then tried to set the mode.
Error unwind then moved the file back, and so the watcher saw the file get
deleted and then added back, and so tried again..
This works for both direct and indirect mode.
It may need some performance tuning.
Note that unlike git status, it only shows the status of the work tree, not
the status of the index. So only one status letter, not two .. and since
files that have been added and not yet committed do not differ between the
work tree and the index, they are not shown. Might want to add display of
the index vs the last commit eventually.

Now that direct mode sets core.bare=true, git's normal prohibition about
pushing into the currently checked out branch doesn't work.
A simple fix for this would be an update hook which blocks the pushes..
but git hooks must be executable, and git-annex needs to be usable on eg,
FAT, which lacks x bits.
Instead, enabling direct mode switches the branch (eg master) to a special
purpose branch (eg annex/direct/master). This branch is not pushed when
syncing; instead any changes that git annex sync commits get written to
master, and it's pushed (along with synced/master) to the remote.
Note that initialization has been changed to always call setDirect,
even if it's just setDirect False for indirect mode. This is needed because
if the user has just cloned a direct mode repo, that nothing has synced
with before, it may have no master branch, and only a annex/direct/master.
Resulting in that branch being checked out locally too. Calling setDirect False
for indirect mode moves back out of this branch, to a new master branch,
and ensures that a manual "git push" doesn't push changes directly to
the annex/direct/master of the remote. (It's possible that the user
makes a commit w/o using git-annex and pushes it, but nothing I can do
about that really.)

Copies files out of the annex. This avoids an unannex of one file breaking
other files that link to the same content. Also, it means that the content
remains in the annex using up space until cleaned up with "git annex
unused".
(The behavior of unannex --fast has not changed; it still hard
links to content in the annex. --fast was not made the default because it
is potentially unsafe; editing such a hard linked file can unexpectedly
change content stored in the annex.)
This used to work, but now hsc2hs is failing with a usage message.
Since I have not changed my windows build environment at all, it must be
some change due to a change in the cabal file. Perhaps too make flags are
causing it to hit a windows command line length limit?
Anyway, these hsc files did nothing on Windows, so can be omitted and not
built to work around yet another epic windows weirdness.
This actually fixes a bug; if pre-commit was run in a subdir, it would pass
relative files when updating the associated file maps, and so the maps
wouldn't update.
I don't think this bug happened in practice, due to the way pre-commit is
called by the hook. It happened to chdir to the top of the work tree.
Note that this case is only fully automatically resolved in direct mode.
In indirect mode, git merge moves the file to file~HEAD, and replaces it
with the directory, and leaves the file in unmerged state, and sync doesn't
yet change that.
addurl: Improve message when adding url with wrong size to existing file.
Before the message suggested the url didn't exist.
Fixed handling of URL keys that have no recorded size. Before, if the key
has no size, the url also had to not declare any size, which was unlikely
and wrong, or it was taken to not exist. This probably would mostly affect
keys that were added to the annex with addurl --relaxed.
Thought was that this would be faster than a map, since a vector can be
updated more efficiently. It turns out to not seem to matter; runtime and
memory usage are basically identical.
recvkey was told it was receiving a HMAC key from a direct mode repo,
and that confused it into rejecting the transfer, since it has no way to
verify a key using that backend, since there is no HMAC backend.
I considered making recvkey skip verification in the case of an unknown
backend. However, that could lead to bad results; a key can legitimately be
in the annex with a backend that the remote git-annex-shell doesn't know
about. Better to keep it rejecting if it cannot verify.
Instead, made the gcrypt special remote not set the direct mode flag when
sending (and receiving) files.
Also, added some recvkey messages when its checks fail, since otherwise
all that is shown is a confusing error message from rsync when the remote
git-annex-shell exits nonzero.
Overridable with --user-agent option.
Not yet done for S3 or WebDAV due to limitations of libraries used --
nether allows a user-agent header to be specified.

I forgot I had <$$> hidden away in Utility.Applicative.
It allows doing the same kind of currying as does >=*>
and I found using it made the code more readable for me.
