So the target of the symlink also needs to be installed now.
Doing it in shell code was too hairy for my dentistry-addled brain, so
reimplemented in haskell. Also using it for building linuxstandalone.
forget --drop-dead: Remove several classes of git-annex log files when they
become empty, further reducing the size of the git-annex branch.
Noticed while testing sameas uuid removal, but it could happen other times
too.
An empty log file is always treated by git-annex the same as no file
being present, and when the files are per-key, it can be a sizable space
saving to exclude them from the tree.
This solves the problem of sameas remotes trampling over per-remote
state. Used for:
* per-remote state, of course
* per-remote metadata, also of course
* per-remote content identifiers, because two remote implementations
could in theory generate the same content identifier for two different
peices of content
While chunk logs are per-remote data, they don't use this, because the
number and size of chunks stored is a common property across sameas
remotes.
External special remote had a complication, where it was theoretically
possible for a remote to send SETSTATE or GETSTATE during INITREMOTE or
EXPORTSUPPORTED. Since the uuid of the remote is typically generate in
Remote.setup, it would only be possible to pass a Maybe
RemoteStateHandle into it, and it would otherwise have to construct its
own. Rather than go that route, I decided to send an ERROR in this case.
It seems unlikely that any existing external special remote will be
affected. They would have to make up a git-annex key, and set state for
some reason during INITREMOTE. I can imagine such a hack, but it doesn't
seem worth complicating the code in such an ugly way to support it.
Unfortunately, both TestRemote and Annex.Import needed the Remote
to have a new field added that holds its RemoteStateHandle.
Work around git cat-file --batch's odd stripping of carriage return from
the end of the line (some windows infection), avoiding crashing when the
repo contains a filename ending in a carriage return.
When dropping an unlocked file, preserve its mtime, which avoids git status
unncessarily running the clean filter on the file.
If the index file has close to the same mtime as a work tree file, git will
not trust the index to be up-to-date, and re-runs the clean filter
unncessarily. Preserving the mtime when depopulating a pointer file avoids
git status doing a little (or maybe a lot) of unncessary work.
There are other places that the mtime could be preserved, including other
places where pointer files are written perhaps, but also
populatePointerFile. But, I don't know of cases where those lead to git
status doing unncessary work, so I just fixed the one I'm aware of for now.
fsck --incremental/--more: Fix bug that prevented the incremental fsck
information from being updated every 5 minutes as it was supposed to be; it
was only updated after 1000 files were checked, which may be more files
that are possible to fsck in a given fsck time window.
Thanks to Peter Simons for help with analysis of this bug.
Auditing for other cases of the same mistake, the keys db also had it
backwards. This seems unlikely to really have been a problem;
it would need associated files updates etc to be coming in slowly for some
reason and then be interrupted to cause any problem.
IIRC the design of the keys db assumes that any interruped
operation will be restarted, and so it can lose any buffered database
updates safely.
Fix bug in handling of annex.largefiles that use largerthan/smallerthan.
When adding a modified file, it incorrectly used the file size of the old
version of the file, not the current size.
That was the only largefiles limit that didn't directly look at the file on
disk already. Added a new type to keep straight the two different ways such
a limit can be matched. I kind of wanted to extend MatchingFile or FileInfo
to indicate that the matcher is supposed to operate on files from disk or
annex, but it turned out to be too complex to implement it that way.
This also changes the LimitAnnexFiles case when lookupFileKey does not find
a key. It used to fall back to statting the file, now it always returns
False. I doubt the old code could really get to that point, but if it
somehow does, it's better for preferred content matching to be consistent.
gksu is no longer in debian, even stable
kdesu in debian is not installed in PATH any longer, though the executable
is still present under /usr/lib
pkexec is packagekit's replacement for those older commands.
Straightforward, except for the issue of how to reverse LockAdjustment.
With --unlock, a commit that modifies/adds unlocked files gets reverse
adjusted to use locked files. That's fairly reasonable, I think.
But reversing --lock by unlocking all modified files feels wrong. Maybe
that's just because repositories typically seem to still have mostly
locked files in them (unless one is in an adjusted unlocked branch of
course!)
It may be that eventually how to reverse both will need to be configurable,
I don't know.
Had a report of close throwing ErrorBusy on CIFS.
Retrying up to 16 seconds is a balance between hopefully waiting long
enough for the problem to clear up and waiting so long that git-annex seems
to hang.
The new dependency is free; persistent depends on unliftio-core.
I just had a test that crashed at cleanup on linux with:
.t/gpgtest/12/S.gpg-agent.browser: removeDirectoryRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:getSymbolicLinkStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory)
sleeping 10 seconds and will retry directory cleanup
git-annex: .t/gpgtest/14/S.gpg-agent.browser: removeDirectoryRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:getSymbolicLinkStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory)
removePathForcibly is supposed to be more robust to things in the directory vanishing while it's running, etc.
Will probably avoid such crashes.
It was added to directory-1.2.7, which comes with ghc since 8.0.2.
Since base >= 4.11.1.0 means ghc 8.4.4, I expect all builds will have it,
but I ifdefed it to be sure.
This avoids some extra work, but I don't think it was possible for two ssh
endpoint discoveries run concurrently to both prompt for the ssh password;
Annex.Ssh itself deals with concurrency.
This is mostly groundwork for http password prompting.
This allows the rpm to be built anywhere the necessary build deps are
available (including on debian) and the resulting package will work on as
broad a range of rpm distributions as the libc/kernel supports.
The DistributionUpdate changes to use the new script have not yet been
tested.
debian oldoldstable has 2.1, and that's what i386ancient uses. It would be
better to require git 2.2, which is needed to use adjusted branches, but
can't do that w/o losing support for some old linux kernels or a
complicated git backport.
This brings back .git/annex/misctmp, but only for init. If an init
is interrupted while probing using that temp directory, the files it left
will get deleted 1 week later by a subsequent git-annex run.
Can be set to false to prevent any automatic repository upgrades.
Also, removed direct mode specific upgrade code in Annex.Init, and made
needsUpgrade always include the name/path of the repo, so if
there's a problem it's clear what repo has the problem.
And, made needsUpgrade catch any exceptions that might occur during the
upgrade, so it can display a more useful error message than just the
exception.
That git fixed a memory leak that could cause an OOM during the upgrade.
Most git-annex builds have a new enough git already.
OSX git was upgraded with brew.
Linux i386ancient build's git was too old. Upgrading it to a fixed
git didn't work (due to the newer git not working with the old ssh,
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/git/issues/detail?id=7 )
Choices to deal with that were:
* Somehow make direct mode upgrade work with the old git, avoiding its
OOM problem. One way would be to switch the repo to indirect mode
first, and so upgrade to a repo with locked files. Not good when
the filesystem does not support symlinks.
* backport the OOM fix from git 2.22
(And do what about the version number so git-annex knows it's fixed?)
* backport openssh (and possibly more stuff)
* move the i386ancient build to at least Debian stretch (still backporting git)
But this will make it no longer work with some of the ancient kernels it
targets.
Of those, backporting the OOM fix seemed the best approach. Put "oomfix"
in the git version number to indicate it.
I have not automated building the git backport, so here's the patch I
used:

Three reasons:
* Committing as part of an upgrade is very unusual and unexpected.
* The commit was failing with a weird error message when done during an
automatic upgrade.
* Let me remove more of that sweet^Whorrible direct mode code.
* Automatically convert direct mode repositories to v7 with adjusted
unlocked branches and set annex.thin.
* init: When run on a crippled filesystem with --version=5,
will error out, since version 7 is needed for adjusted unlocked branch.
* direct: This command always errors out as direct mode is no longer
supported.
* indirect: This command has become a deprecated noop.
* proxy: This command is deprecated because it was only needed in direct
mode. (But it continues to work.)
Also removed mentions of direct mode throughough the documentation.
I have not removed all the direct mode code yet.
When upgrading a direct mode repo to v7 with adjusted unlocked branches,
fix a bug that prevented annex.thin from taking effect for the files in
working tree.
The hard links used to be ok, but commit 8e22114735 accidentially
broke them. It repopulates the worktree file, which is already a hard link,
and when it's creating the new file, the link count is already 2, and so it
doesn't make a hard link then.
Rather than direct mode, which this is a small step on the path to
removing.
Init on a crippled filesystem already used v7 adjusted branches,
and like that, this doesn't pose any interoperability issues with old
versions of git-annex that clone the same repo, because files are only
unlocked on the adjusted branch.
When file matching options are specified when getting info of
something other than a directory, they won't have any effect, so error out
to avoid confusion.

Systems such as Debian that have overridden the default fpath will need to
set ZSH_COMPLETIONS_PATH.
I feel that Debian is causing unncessary complexity by making this change,
and have filed a bug report about it.
This also means that when git-annex is installed with PREFIX=/usr/local
it will use /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions which works with probably
all versions of zsh.
Its repeated opening and writing to the sqlite database somehow caused
inode cache information to occasionally be lost.
This loses code coverage, since running git-annex as a child process
prevents tracking what parts of the code are exercised. I have not looked
at the code coverage in a long time. It would probably be possible to
collect code coverage for the child procesess and merge it together.
* merge: When run with a branch parameter, merges from that branch.
This is especially useful when using an adjusted branch, because
it applies the same adjustment to the branch before merging it.
On second thought, the extra time running the test suite is worth it.
It will be gained back once we finally get rid of direct mode.
There are two failing tests, same two that have been failing on windows
(though the failure does not look identical). So this should also spare me
the Windows VM while fixing.
This way a failure to clean up the main repo dir from a previous pass
can't result in reusing that repo, which won't be configured right for the
current pass.
I saw the installer not defaulting to any installation directory,
and I had to manually enter C:\Program Files\Git
Maybe it was choosing gitInstallDir32, and that was empty? Or the
conditional somehow failed. Simplifying so it will hopefully work again.
This typo would make "git cat-file cat-file" fail, and the way it's used,
I think it broke querying all info from filenames containing newlines,
because the other queries are only run when it succeeds.
Use the same optimisation for --in=here as has always been used for --in=.
rather than the slow code path that unncessarily queries the git-annex
branch.
It looks like when "here" got added as an alias for "." back in 2012, I
forgot about this place.
Also sped up some very unlikely ways of referring to the current
repository.
Note that, this could in some rare corner case cause a behavior
change, if the git-annex branch and inAnnex disagree about whether content
is present in the local repository. But --in=. already behaved
that way, and the truth on the ground should win also.
In 40ecf58d4b I changed the license of code I
wrote from GPL to AGPL. But, two files containing code I wrote combined
with code by others were updated to say their license is AGPL, while in
fact part of it was (the code I wrote) but part remained under the original
license (the code written by others).
Remote/Ddar.hs is now changed entirely back to GPL 3.
Annex/DirHashes.hs stays AGPL, but I broke out Utility/MD5.hs with the code
not written by me, and corrected its license statement to GPL-2, which
is the actual version of the GPL included with the code in its original
distribution at http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/ian.lynagh/md5/
rsync is only needed for rsync special remotes and git-annex-shell from
Debian oldstable. Since the library situation on windows for rsync required
a particular 32 bit build of git for it to work, and may also somehow need
git-annex to be 32 bit build, it's better to not include it.

Improved probing when CoW copies can be made between files on the same
drive. Now supports CoW between BTRFS subvolumes. And, falls back to rsync
instead of using cp when CoW won't work, eg copies between repos on the
same EXT4 filesystem.
Rather than trying cp --reflink=always for each file copied to a remote,
it's tried once and if it fails it falls back to using rsync thereafter
for the lifetime of the Remote object. That avoids overhead of calling cp
which while small, will add up over a large number of files.

The cabal file does not yet demand this version because it's not in Debian

Drop support for building with ghc older than 8.4.4, and with older
versions of serveral haskell libraries than will be included in Debian 10.
The only remaining version ifdefs in the entire code base are now a couple
for aws!
This commit should only be merged after the Debian 10 release.
And perhaps it will need to wait longer than that; it would make
backporting new versions of git-annex to Debian 9 (stretch) which
has been actively happening as recently as this year.

Reversion from commit 436f10771, CustomOutput was forcing quiet output
which overrode the json setting.
find happened to be the only command that uses CustomOutput and also
outputs json. (metadata --get does also use CustomOutput and --json does not
enable json output for that, which may be an oversight, but was already the
behavior before this regression.)
init: Fix a reversion in the last release that prevented automatically
generating and setting a description for the repository.
Seemed best to factor out uuidDescMapRaw that does not
have the default mempty descrition behavior.
I don't much like that behavior, but I know things depend on it.
One thing in particular is `git annex info` which lists the uuids and
descriptions; if the current repo has been initialized in some way that
means it does not have a description, it would not show up w/o that.
(Not only repos created due to this bug might lack that. For example a repo
that was marked dead and had --drop-dead delete its git-annex branch info,
and then came back from the dead would similarly not be in the uuid.log.
Also there have been other versions of git-annex that didn't set a default
description; for years there was no default description.)
When downloading an url and the destination file exists but is empty,
avoid using http range to resume, since a range "bytes=0-" is an unusual
edge case that it's best to avoid relying on working.
This is known to fix a case where importfeed downloaded a partial feed from
such a server. Since importfeed uses withTmpFile, the destination always exists
empty, so it would particularly tickle such problem servers. Resuming from 0
is otherwise possible, but unlikely.
get, move, copy, sync: When -J or annex.jobs has enabled concurrency,
checksum verification uses a separate job pool than is used for
downloads, to keep bandwidth saturated.
Not yet done for upload checksum verification, but that only affects
remotes on local disks.
Avoid a delay at startup when concurrency is enabled and there are
rsync or gcrypt special remotes, which was caused by git-annex
opening a ssh connection to the remote too early.
sshOptions makes a connection to the ssh server if one is not already open,
when concurrency is enabled. Avoid doing that at startup, when the remote
list is being built, but the remote may not be used at all.
Instead, rsync/gcrypt now runs sshOptions once per ssh connection to the
server. This should not be significant overhead since Remote.Git already
has the same overhead (as do Bup and Ddar).
The hoped for optimisation of CommandStart with -J did not materialize.
In fact, not runnign CommandStart in parallel is slower than -J3.
So, CommandStart are still run in parallel.
(The actual bad performance I've been seeing with -J in my big repo
has to do with building the remoteList.)
But, this is still progress toward making -J faster, because it gets rid
of the onlyActionOn roadblock in the way of making CommandCleanup jobs
run separate from CommandPerform jobs.
Added OnlyActionOn constructor for ActionItem which fixes the
onlyActionOn breakage in the last commit.
Made CustomOutput include an ActionItem, so even things using it can
specify OnlyActionOn.
In Command.Move and Command.Sync, there were CommandStarts that used
includeCommandAction, so output messages, which is no longer allowed.
Fixed by using startingCustomOutput, but that's still not quite right,
since it prevents message display for the includeCommandAction run
inside it too.
When running multiple concurrent actions, the cleanup phase is run in a
separate queue than the main action queue. This can make some commands
faster, because less time is spent on bookkeeping in between each file
transfer.
But as far as I can see, nothing will be sped up much by this yet, because
all the existing cleanup actions are very light-weight. This is just groundwork
for deferring checksum verification to cleanup time.
This change does mean that if the user expects -J2 will mean that they see no
more than 2 jobs running at a time, they may be surprised to see 4 in some
cases (if the cleanup actions are slow enough to notice).
It might also make sense to enable background cleanup without the -J,
for at least one cleanup action. Indeed, that's the behavior that -J1
has now. At some point in the future, it make make sense to make the
behavior with no -J the same as -J1. The only reason it's not currently
is that git-annex can build w/o concurrent-output, and also any bugs
in concurrent-output (such as perhaps misbehaving on non-VT100 compatible
terminals) are avoided by default by only using it when -J is used.
Add back support for ftp urls, which was disabled as part of the fix for
security hole CVE-2018-10857 (except for configurations which enabled curl
and bypassed public IP address restrictions). Now it will work if allowed
by annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses.
Renamed annex.security.allowed-http-addresses to
annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses because it is not really specific to
the http protocol, also limiting eg, git-annex's use of ftp and via
youtube-dl, several other protocols.
The old name for the config will still work.
If both old and new name are set, the new name will win.
When a remote is configured to be readonly, don't allow changing what's
exported to it.
This was missed in the original export remote implementation, but it makes
sense for a readonly export remote to not be allowed to change.
~/.profile works for bash, but not all other login shells.
This setting PATH is a minor convenience for users, particuarly since
typing on android is so much harder. The usual linux standalone bundle
just expects the user to know how to add it to PATH. I don't want this
code to grow special cases for every possible login shell. So displaying a
message to the presumably minority who don't use bash seems like the best
choice.
Longer term, I'd hope termux gets some way to set an environment variable
for all login shells. Systems using PAM can, via ~/.pam_environment. Or
alternatively, add a git-annex package to termux, even if just an installer
package. I'd rather spend time on either of those than on making this minor
thing support more login shells.

* init: When the repository already has a description, don't change it.
* describe: When run with no description parameter it used to set
the description to "", now it will error out.
Importing from a special remote honors its preferred content too; unwanted
files are not imported. But, some preferred content expressions can't be
checked before files are imported, and trying to import with such an
expression will fail.
Tested this with scenarios including changing the preferred content
expression and making sure merging the import didn't delete files that were
no longer wanted.
There was one minor inefficiency mentioned in the todo that I punted on.
Make the import have the previous import as a parent, so eg `git log --stat`
displays a useful diff.
Also a minor optimisation, only calculate the depth of the imported history
once.
This includes a note about how include= and exclude= match when exporting
a subtree. I don't know if the note is prominent enough, but the
behavior seems unsurprising enough.
Added the ability to run one job per CPU (core), by setting annex.jobs=cpus,
or using option --jobs=cpus or -Jcpus.
Built with future expansion in mind, including not defaulting matching on
Concurrency so more constructors can later be added, and using "cpu"
instead of "0".
