Only the assistant uses these, and only the assistant cleans them up, so
make only git annex transferkeys write them,
There is one behavior change from this. If glacier is being used, and a
manual git annex get --from glacier fails because the file isn't available
yet, the assistant will no longer later see that failed transfer file and
retry the get. Hope no-one depended on that old behavior.

Unfortunately, this caused breakage on Windows, and possibly elsewhere,
because parentDir and takeDirectory do not behave the same when there is a
trailing directory separator.
parentDir is less safe than takeDirectory, especially when working
with relative FilePaths. It's really only useful in loops that
want to terminate at /

The url log could have an url for a key, while the location log thinks it's
not present in the web. In this case, addurl --file url would not do
anything. Fixed it to re-add the web as a location.
I don't know how this situation could arise, but I saw it in the wild in
the conference_proceedings repo, affecting key
URL-s17806003--http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2014/Wednesday/53-Building_Effective_Alliances_around_the_Trans-Pacific_Partnershi-c0505b631127ccc67e38e637344d988e
Investigating the presence log, it looked like that key
was originally listed as present in the web, then in commit
56abf9e9f3e691ed9d83513037d4019313321ca3 someone else's git-annex
set it and some other things to not present in the web. It would be
interesting to know what that user did, but I doubt I'll be able to find
out. All I can tell from this investigation is that the inconsistency was
not introduced when originally addurl-ing the url.
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
podcast.
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.

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.
Motivation: Hook scripts for nautilus or other file managers
need to provide the user with feedback that a file is being downloaded.

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.
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 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.
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.
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.

When quvi is installed, git-annex addurl automatically uses it to detect
when an page is a video, and downloads the video file.
web special remote: Also support using quvi, for getting files,
or checking if files exist in the web.

Started with a problem when running addurl on a really long url,
because the whole url is munged into the filename. Ended up doing
a fairly extensive review for places where filenames could get too large,
although it's hard to say I'm not missed any..
Backend.Url had a 128 character limit, which is fine when the limit is 255,
but not if it's a lot shorter on some systems. So check the pathconf()
limit. Note that this could result in fromUrl creating different keys
for the same url, if run on systems with different limits. I don't see
this is likely to cause any problems. That can already happen when using
addurl --fast, or if the content of an url changes.
Both Command.AddUrl and Backend.Url assumed that urls don't contain a
lot of multi-byte unicode, and would fail to truncate an url that did
properly.
A few places use a filename as the template to make a temp file.
While that's nice in that the temp file name can be easily related back to
the original filename, it could lead to `git annex add` failing to add a
filename that was at or close to the maximum length.
Note that in Command.Add.lockdown, the template is still derived from the
filename, just with enough space left to turn it into a temp file.
This is an important optimisation, because the assistant may lock down
a bunch of files all at once, and using the same template for all of them
would cause openTempFile to iterate through the same set of names,
looking for an unused temp file. I'm not very happy with the relatedTemplate
hack, but it avoids that slowdown.
Backend.WORM does not limit the filename stored in the key.
I have not tried to change that; so git annex add will fail on really long
filenames when using the WORM backend. It seems better to preserve the
invariant that a WORM key always contains the complete filename, since
the filename is the only unique material in the key, other than mtime and
size. Since nobody has complained about add failing (I think I saw it
once?) on WORM, probably it's ok, or nobody but me uses it.
There may be compatability problems if using git annex addurl --fast
or the WORM backend on a system with the 255 limit and then trying to use
that repo in a system with a smaller limit. I have not tried to deal with
those.

Most remotes have meters in their implementations of retrieveKeyFile
already. Simply hooking these up to the transfer log makes that information
available. Easy peasy.
This is particularly valuable information for encrypted remotes, which
otherwise bypass the assistant's polling of temp files, and so don't have
good progress bars yet.
Still some work to do here (see progressbars.mdwn changes), but this
is entirely an improvement from the lack of progress bars for encrypted
downloads.
* addurl: Register transfer so the webapp can see it.
* addurl: Automatically retry downloads that fail, as long as some
additional content was downloaded.
In indirect mode, now checks the inode cache to detect changes to a file.
Note that a file can still be changed if a process has it open for write,
after landing in the annex.
In direct mode, some checking of the inode cache was done before, but
from a much later point, so fewer modifications could be detected. Now it's
as good as indirect mode.
On crippled filesystems, no lock down is done before starting to add a
file, so checking the inode cache is the only protection we have.
This avoids some small overhead by only running the check once per command;
it also ensures that, even if the command doesn't find anything to run on,
it still fails to run when in a bare repo.
Kqueue needs to remember which files failed to be added due to being open,
and retry them. This commit gets the data in place for such a retry thread.
Broke KeySource out into its own file, and added Eq and Ord instances
so it can be stored in a Set.
Now gitattributes are looked up, efficiently, in only the places that
really need them, using the same approach used for cat-file.
The old CheckAttr code seemed very fragile, in the way it streamed files
through git check-attr.
I actually found that cad8824852
was still deadlocking with ghc 7.4, at the end of adding a lot of files.
This should fix that problem, and avoid future ones.
The best part is that this removes withAttrFilesInGit and withNumCopies,
which were complicated Seek methods, as well as simplfying the types
for several other Seek methods that had a Backend tupled in.
Can be used to specify what file the url is added to. This can be used to
override the default filename that is used when adding an url, which is
based on the url. Or, when the file already exists, the url is recorded as
another location of the file.
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.
These were a mistake, they make the type signatures harder to read and
less flexible. The CommandSeek, CommandStart, CommandPerform, and
CommandCleanup types were a good idea, but composing them with the
parameters expected is going too far.
First, this ensures that git annex addurl, when run repeatedly with the
same url, doesn't create duplicate files, which it did before when it
fell back to the longer filename.
Secondly, the file part of an url is frequently not very descriptive on its
own.
The uri scheme, auth, and port is intentionally left out, as clutter.
The tricky part about this is that to generate a key, the file must be
present already. Worked around by adding (back) an URL key type, which
is used for addurl --fast.
The only remaining vestiage of backends is different types of keys. These
are still called "backends", mostly to avoid needing to change user interface
and configuration. But everything to do with storing keys in different
backends was gone; instead different types of remotes are used.
In the refactoring, lots of code was moved out of odd corners like
Backend.File, to closer to where it's used, like Command.Drop and
Command.Fsck. Quite a lot of dead code was removed. Several data structures
became simpler, which may result in better runtime efficiency. There should
be no user-visible changes.
