None-bare removable drive repos don't have the assistant running in them,
so don't get their master branch updated as syncs come in. This will
probably change later, but for now, set up something that works.
Also, set the description of a newly added drive's repo locally. This
ensures that the repo edit form has the description in it.
This avoids the expensive transfer scan relying on its list of remotes
to scan being accurate throughout, which it will not be when the user
pauses syncing to a remote.
I feel it's ok to queue transfers to *any* known remote, not just the ones
being scanned.
Note that there are still small races where after syncing to a remote is
paused, a transfer can be queued for it. Not just in the expensive transfer
scan, but in the cheap failed transfer scan, and elsewhere.
Although I observe that these toggles don't always prevent syncing.
When a transfer scan is active, it will still queue items from the disabled
remote.
Also, transfers from a disabled remote show up as from "unknown", which is
not ideal.
This reserves annex.ignore for repos that should not be visible at all;
repos with syncing disabled are now skipped by the assistant, but are
displayed in the list and can be configured.
I noticed this while offline (so that lack of solar power is good for something).
Apparently it tries to bind multicast to lo, and that fails.
If this happens, catch it, and retry until a real network interface becomes
available.
It may be that this should tie into the NetWatcher, and rebind whenever
an interface comes up. Needs testing..
I'm using transfer for most things, both removable drives and cloud
storage, because it's the safest choice. We'll see if it makes sense
to prompt for the group when setting this up, or let the user pick
something else after the fact.
webapp: Adds newly created repositories to one of these groups:
clients, drives, servers
This is heuristic, but it's a pretty good heuristic, and can always be
configured.
Both when queueing downloads, and uploads, consults the preferred content
settings.
I didn't make it check yet when requeing failed transfers or queuing
deferred downloads; dealing with the preferred content settings (or indeed,
other settings) changing while the assistant is running still needs work.
Makes it safe to use git annex unlock with the watcher/assistant.
And also to mix use of the watcher/assistant with regular files stored in git.
Long ago, I had avoided doing this check, except during the startup scan,
because it would be slow to run ls-files repeatedly.
But then I added the lsof check, and to make that fast, got it to detect
batch file adds. So let's move the ls-files check to also occur when it'll
have a batch, and can check them all with one call.
This does slow down adding a single file by just a bit, but really only
a little bit. (The lsof check is probably more expensive.) It also
speeds up the startup scan, especially when there are lots of new files
found by the scan.
Also, fixed the sleep for annex.delayadd to not run while the threadstate
lock is held, so it doesn't unnecessarily freeze everything else.
Also, --force no longer makes it skip the lsof check, which was not
documented, and seems never a good idea.
This was needed for the OSX self-contained app, but is a generally good
idea. It avoids needing perl; is probably faster; and could eventually
be replaced by something faster yet.
I put it in ~/.ssh/ because there's no reliable way to get it into PATH,
and OSX ssh doesn't even honor user's PATH by default.
authorized_keys generators will need to check if it's there. Not done yet.
