Many functions took the repo as their first parameter. Changing it
consistently to be the last parameter allows doing some useful things with
currying, that reduce boilerplate.
In particular, g <- gitRepo is almost never needed now, instead
use inRepo to run an IO action in the repo, and fromRepo to get
a value from the repo.
This also provides more opportunities to use monadic and applicative
combinators.
This new approach allows filtering out checks from the default set that are
not appropriate for a command, rather than having to list every check
that is appropriate. It also reduces some boilerplate.
Haskell does not define Eq for functions, so I had to go a long way around
with each check having a unique id. Meh.
I dislike -( and -), but without using a different option parser, can't
easily use bare parens.
--and and --or will become more useful once there are more interesting
limits than --exclude
get, drop: Added --auto option, which decides whether to get/drop content
as needed to work toward the configured numcopies.
The problem with bundling it up in optimize was that I then found I wanted
to run an optmize that did not drop files, only got them. Considered adding
a --only-get switch to it, but that seemed wrong. Instead, let's make
existing subcommands optionally smarter.
Note that the only actual difference between drop and drop --auto is that
the latter does not even try to drop a file if it knows of not enough
copies, and does not print any error messages about files it was unable to
drop.
It might be nice to make get avoid asking git for attributes when not in
auto mode. For now it always asks for attributes.
This allows eg, `git-annex -c annex.rsync-options=-6 get file`
The overridden git configs are not passed on to git plumbing commands
that are run. Perhaps someone will find a need to do that, but I don't yet
and it would require storing more state to know what config settings
have been overridden and need to be passed on.
Still todo:
- add repos from uuid.log that were not directly found
- group repos into their respective hosts
- display inaccessible repos and broken remote connections in red
- anonymize the url display somewhat, so the maps can be shared
- use uuid info to tell when two apparently different repos are actually
the same repo accessed in different ways
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.
