* annex.addunlocked can be set to an expression with the same format used by
annex.largefiles, in case you want to default to unlocking some files but
not others.
* annex.addunlocked can be configured by git-annex config.
Added a git-annex-matching-expression man page, broken out from
tips/largefiles.
A tricky consequence of this is that git-annex add --relaxed
honors annex.addunlocked, but an expression might want to know the size
or content of an url, which it's not going to download. I decided it was
better not to fail, and just dummy up some plausible data in that case.
Performance impact should be negligible. The global config is already
loaded for annex.largefiles. The expression only has to be parsed once,
and in the simple true/false case, it should not do any additional work
matching it.
Remove dup definitions and just use the RawFilePath one. </> etc are
enough faster that it's probably faster than building a String directly,
although I have not benchmarked.
Adds a dependency on filepath-bytestring, an as yet unreleased fork of
filepath that operates on RawFilePath.
Git.Repo also changed to use RawFilePath for the path to the repo.
This does eliminate some RawFilePath -> FilePath -> RawFilePath
conversions. And filepath-bytestring's </> is probably faster.
But I don't expect a major performance improvement from this.
This is mostly groundwork for making Annex.Location use RawFilePath,
which will allow for a conversion-free pipleline.
Finally builds (oh the agoncy of making it build), but still very
unmergable, only Command.Find is included and lots of stuff is badly
hacked to make it compile.
Benchmarking vs master, this git-annex find is significantly faster!
Specifically:
num files old new speedup
48500 4.77 3.73 28%
12500 1.36 1.02 66%
20 0.075 0.074 0% (so startup time is unchanged)
That's without really finishing the optimization. Things still to do:
* Eliminate all the fromRawFilePath, toRawFilePath, encodeBS,
decodeBS conversions.
* Use versions of IO actions like getFileStatus that take a RawFilePath.
* Eliminate some Data.ByteString.Lazy.toStrict, which is a slow copy.
* Use ByteString for parsing git config to speed up startup.
It's likely several of those will speed up git-annex find further.
And other commands will certianly benefit even more.
This will speed up the common case where a Key is deserialized from
disk, but is then serialized to build eg, the path to the annex object.
Previously attempted in 4536c93bb2
and reverted in 96aba8eff7.
The problems mentioned in the latter commit are addressed now:
Read/Show of KeyData is backwards-compatible with Read/Show of Key from before
this change, so Types.Distribution will keep working.
The Eq instance is fixed.
Also, Key has smart constructors, avoiding needing to remember to update
the cached serialization.
Used git-annex benchmark:
find is 7% faster
whereis is 3% faster
get when all files are already present is 5% faster
Generally, the benchmarks are running 0.1 seconds faster per 2000 files,
on a ram disk in my laptop.
All that needs to be retained in remote.log is the sameas-uuid.
The rest of the config is eliminated. This doesn't save enough space to
bother with, but it prevents anything sensitive in the config of the
dead sameas remote from lingering around.
Note that minimizesameasdead does not update the VectorClock when
changing the log line. That's normally a no-no, but in this case,
it makes each DropDead result in the exact same file contents,
and vector clocks are not needed because the transition breaks
the history chain.
It would have been a lot less round-about to just make git annex dead
also add the uuids of sameas remotes to the trust.log as dead.
But, that would fail in the case where there's an unmerged other clone
that has a sameas remote that the current repo does not know about.
Then it would not get marked as dead.
Handling it at transition time avoids that scenario.
Note that the generation of trustmap' in dropDead should only
happen once, due to the partial application.
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.
I found a way to avoid inheritance complicating anything outside of
Logs.Remote. It seems fine to require all inherited values to be
inherited and not set in the sameas remote's config. Since inherited
values will be used for stuff like encryption and perhaps chunking, which
control the actual content stored on the remote, it seems likely that
there will not be any reason to need them to vary between two remotes
that access the same underlying data store.
The newer version of containers is free; the minimum ghc version is
bundled with a newer version than that.
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.)
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.
Prevents merging the import from deleting the non-preferred files from
the branch it's merged into.
adjustTree previously appended the new list of items to the old, which
could result in it generating a tree with multiple files with the same
name. That is not good and confuses some parts of git. Gave it a
function to resolve such conflicts.
That allowed dealing with the problem of what happens when the import
contains some files (or subtrees) with the same name as files that were
filtered out of the export. The files from the import win.
Only when the preferred content expression includes them will a parse
failure due to them needing keys result in the preferred content
expression not parsing in keyless mode.
This will let import try to match preferred content expressions before
downloading the content and generating its key.
If an expression needs a key, it preferredContentParser with
preferredContentKeylessTokens will fail to parse it.
standard and groupwanted are not in preferredContentKeylessTokens
because they may refer to an expression that refers to a key.
That needs further work to support them.
This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
untested
This won't be super slow, but it does need to diff two likely large
trees, and since the git-annex branch rarely sits still, it will most
likely be run at the beginning of every import.
A possible speed improvement would be to only run this when the database
did not contain a ContentIdentifier. But that would only speed up
imports when there is no new version of a file on the special remote,
at most renames of existing files being imported.
A better speed improvement would be to record something in the git-annex
branch that indicates when an import has been run, and only do the diff
if the git-annex branch has record of a newer import than we've seen
before. Then, it would only run when there is in fact new
ContentIdentifier information available from a remote. Certianly doable,
but didn't want to complicate things yet.
An empty list of [ContentIdenfier] serialized to the same thing
as a single ContentIdentifier "". Avoid this ambiguity by requiring the
list be non-empty.
InodeCache serializes to a value with spaces, and seems likely other
things will too, and want to avoid unncessary base64 of content
identifiers when possible.
Does not yet have a way to update with new information from the
git-annex branch, which will be needed when multiple repos are importing
from the same remote.
Like the earlier fixed one in Command.Export, it occurred when the same
tree was exported by multiple clones. Previous fix was incomplete since
several other places looked at the list of exported trees to detect when
there was an export conflict. Added a single unified function to avoid
missing any places it needed to be fixed.

Log.Remote.prop_parse_show_Config failed on an input of fromList [("\28162","")]
in LANG=C, encodeBS "\28162" == "\STX=", while in UTF-8 locale,
encodeBS "\28162" == "\230\184\130". So in the C locale, the String
that's the parsed Map key ends up being encoded differently than it was
in the input Map.
Logs.Presence.Pure.prop_parse_build_log was failing in LANG=C because
the Arbitrary LogLine for some reason sometimes generated LogInfo values
containing \n or \r, despite using suchThat to prevent that. I don't
understand why at all, but switching the suchThat to filter the
ByteString instead of the String before conversion with encodeBS
somehow avoids the problem.
Both of these suggest something wonky with encodeBS in LANG=C, but
I *think* it's not a problem except for with test data generated by
Arbitrary.
What these generate is not really suitable to be used as a filename,
which is why keyFile and fileKey further escape it. These are just
serializing Keys.
Also removed a quickcheck test that was very unlikely to test anything
useful, since it relied on random chance creating something that looks
like a serialized key. The other test is sufficient for testing what
that was intended to test anyway.
Not likely to be any speed gain here, but this completes porting every
log file over.
And, it let me get rid of code copied from ghc and modified, so
simplifying the licensing.
This preserves the workaround for the old bug that caused NoUUID items
to be stored in the log, prefixing log lines with " ". It's now handled
implicitly, by using takeWhile1 (/= ' ') to get the uuid.
There is a behavior change from the old parser, which split the value
into words and then recombined it. That meant that "foo bar" and "foo\tbar"
came out as "foo bar". That behavior was not documented, and seems
surprising; it meant that after a git-annex describe here "foo bar",
you wouldn't get that same string back out when git-annex displayed repo
descriptions.
Otoh, some other parsers relied on the old behavior, and the attoparsec
rewrites had to deal with the issue themselves...
For group.log, there are some edge cases around the user providing a
group name with a leading or trailing space. The old parser would ignore
such excess whitespace. The new parser does too, because the alternative
is to refuse to parse something like " group1 group2 " due to excess
whitespace, which would be even more confusing behavior.
The only git-annex branch log file that is not converted to attoparsec
and bytestring-builder now is transitions.log.
There should be some speed gains here, especially for chunk and remote
state logs, which are queried once per key.
Now only old-format uuid-based logs still need to be converted to attoparsec.
Mostly didn't push the ByteStrings down very deep, but all of these log
files are not written to frequently at all, so slight remaining
innefficiency doesn't matter.
In Logs.UUID, removed the fixBadUUID code that cleaned up after a bug in
git-annex versions 3.20111105-3.20111110. In the unlikely event that a repo was
last touched by that ancient git-annex version, the descriptions of remotes
would appear missing when used with this version of git-annex. That is such minor
breakage, and so unlikely to still be a problem for any repos, that it was not
worth forward-porting that code to ByteString.
Probably not any particular speedup in this, since most of these logs
are not written to often. Possibly chunk log writing is sped up, but
writes to chunk logs are interleaved with expensive data transfers to
remotes, so unlikely to be a noticiable speedup.
Most of the individual logs are not converted yet, only presense logs
have an efficient ByteString Builder implemented so far. The rest
convert to and from String.
This should make == comparison of UUIDs somewhat faster, and perhaps a
few other operations around maps of UUIDs etc.
FromUUID/ToUUID are used to convert String, which is still used for all
IO of UUIDs. Eventually the hope is those instances can be removed,
and all git-annex branch log files etc use ByteString throughout, for a
real speed improvement.
Note the use of fromRawFilePath / toRawFilePath -- while a UUID usually
contains only alphanumerics and so could be treated as ascii, it's
conceivable that some git-annex repository has been initialized using
a UUID that is not only not a canonical UUID, but contains high unicode
or invalid unicode. Using the filesystem encoding avoids any problems
with such a thing. However, a NUL in a UUID seems extremely unlikely,
so I didn't use encodeBS / decodeBS to avoid their extra overhead in
handling NULs.
The Read/Show instance for UUID luckily serializes the same way for
ByteString as it did for String.
The smuge filter no longer provides git with annexed file content, to
avoid a git memory leak, and because that did not honor annex.thin.
git annex smudge --update has to be run after a checkout to update
unlocked files in the working tree with annexed file contents.
No hooks yet to run it.

* rmurl: Fix a case where removing the last url left git-annex thinking
content was still present in the web special remote.
* SETURLPRESENT, SETURIPRESENT, SETURLMISSING, and SETURIMISSING
used to update the presence information of the external special remote
that called them; this was not documented behavior and is no longer done.
Done by making setUrlPresent and setUrlMissing only update presence info
for the web, and only when the url is a web url. See the comment for
reasoning about why that's the right thing to do.
In AddUrl, had to make it update location tracking, to handle the
non-web-url case.

Since the same key can be stored in a versioned S3 bucket multiple times

v6: When annex.largefiles is not configured for a file, running git add or
git commit, or otherwise using git to stage a file will add it to the annex
if the file was in the annex before, and to git otherwise. This is to avoid
accidental conversion.
Note that git-annex add's behavior has not changed, for reasons explained
in the added comment.
Performance: No added overhead when annex.largefiles is configured.
When not configured, there is an added call to catObjectMetaData,
which involves a round trip through git cat-file --batch.

This leaves git annex unused --from remote still using loggedKeysFor
and buffering more than ought to be necessary, but I can't see a way to
improve that.
In Annex.Branch.branch, the (++) was killing laziness.
Rewrote so it streams lazily.
filterM also kills laziness, so made loggedKeys use a Unchecked type,
and check if the key is dead in the seek loop.
Note that loggedKeysFor still buffers, so git-annex info <remote> and
git-annex unused --from remote still use more memory than necessary.
Also removed some unused functions from Annex.Journal.
Switch to Data.Map.Strict everywhere that used it.
There are still lots of lazy maps in git-annex. I think switching these
is safe. The risk is that there might be a map that is used in a way
that relies on the values not being evaluated to WHNF, and switching to
strict might result in bad performance or memory use. So, I have not
switched everything.

Avoid creating transfer info file before transfer lock is created and
locked.
The wrong order for one thing caused transfer info to be overwritten
when a transfer was already in progress.
But worse, it caused checkTransfer to see the transfer info,
and so lock the transfer lock in order to verify the transfer was not in
progress. Which in a concurrent situation, prevented the transferrer
from locking the transfer lock, so it failed with "transfer already in
progress".
Note that the transferinfo command does not lock the transfer lock
before creating the transfer info. But, that's only run after
recvkey is running, and recvkey does lock the transfer lock, so that
seems more or less ok. (Other than being a super complicated legacy mess
that the P2P code has mostly obsoleted now.)

This avoids all the complication about redundant work discussed in
the previous try at fixing this. At the expense of needing each command
that could have the problem to be patched to simply wrap the action in
onlyActionOn once the key is known. But there do not seem to be many
such commands.
onlyActionOn' should not be used with a CommandStart (or CommandPerform),
although the types do allow it. onlyActionOn handles running the whole
CommandStart chain. I couldn't immediately see a way to avoid mistken
use of onlyActionOn'.

After a false start, I found a fairly non-intrusive way to deal with it.
Although it only handles transfers -- there may be issues with eg
concurrent dropping of the same key, or other operations.
There is no added overhead when -J is not used, other than an added
inAnnex check. When -J is used, it has to maintain and check a small
Set, which should be negligible overhead.
It could output some message saying that the transfer is being done by
another thread. Or it could even display the same progress info for both
files that are being downloaded since they have the same content. But I
opted to keep it simple, since this is rather an edge case, so it just
doesn't say anything about the transfer of the file until the other
thread finishes.
Since the deferred transfer action still runs, actions that do more than
transfer content will still get a chance to do their other work. (An
example of something that needs to do such other work is P2P.Annex,
where the download always needs to receive the content from the peer.)
And, if the first thread fails to complete a transfer, the second thread
can resume it.
But, this unfortunately means that there's a risk of redundant work
being done to transfer a key that just got transferred.
That's not ideal, but should never cause breakage; the same
thing can occur when running two separate git-annex processes.
The get/move/copy/mirror --from commands had extra inAnnex checks added,
inside the download actions. Without those checks, the first thread
downloaded the content, and then the second thread woke up and
downloaded the same content redundantly.
move/copy/mirror --to is left doing redundant uploads for now. It
would need a second checkPresent of the remote inside the upload
to avoid them, which would be expensive. A better way to avoid
redundant work needs to be found..

In my git-annex repos, I found some stale transfer info files
without lock files.
Pass a mode to tryLockExclusive, so it will create the lock file if
not present, and so not fail to clean up such transfer info files.
Normally, transfer info files are accompanied by a lock file.
But, when alwaysRunTransfer is used, the locking can fail
and it will still write the transfer info file. Perhaps there are other
cases too? Note that mkProgressUpdater's meter
writes to the transfer info file too, and it might be possible for
that meter to fire after runTransfer has cleaned up.

So it will be available later and elsewhere, even after GC.
I first though to use git update-index to do this, but feeding it a line
with a tree object seems to always cause it to generate a git subtree
merge. So, fell back to using the Git.Tree interface to maniupulate the
trees, and not involving the git-annex branch index file at all.

Can be used to override the default timestamps used in log files in the
git-annex branch. This is a dangerous environment variable; use with
caution.
Note that this only affects writing to the logs on the git-annex branch.
It is not used for metadata in git commits (other env vars can be set for
that).
There are many other places where timestamps are still used, that don't
get committed to git, but do touch disk. Including regular timestamps
of files, and timestamps embedded in some files in .git/annex/, including
the last fsck timestamp and timestamps in transfer log files.
A good way to find such things in git-annex is to get for getPOSIXTime and
getCurrentTime, although some of the results are of course false positives
that never hit disk (unless git-annex gets swapped out..)
So this commit does NOT necessarily make git-annex comply with some HIPPA
privacy regulations; it's up to the user to determine if they can use it in
a way compliant with such regulations.
Benchmarking: It takes 0.00114 milliseconds to call getEnv
"GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK" when that env var is not set. So, 100 thousand log
files can be written with an added overhead of only 0.114 seconds. That
should be by far swamped by the actual overhead of writing the log files
and making the commit containing them.
