This is a nearly free feature; it piggybacks on the location log lookups
done for the numcopies stats. So, the only extra overhead is updating
the map of repository sizes.
However, I had to switch to Data.Map.Strict, which needs containers 0.5.
If backporting to wheezy, will probably need to revert this commit.
webapp: When adding another local repository, and combining it with the
current repository, the new repository's remote path was set to "." rather
than the path to the current repository. This was a reversion caused by the
relative path changes in 5.20150113.
git-checkignore refuses to work if any pathspec options are set. Urgh.
I audited the rest of git, and no other commands used by git-annex have
such limitations. Indeed, AFAICS, *all* other commands support
--literal-pathspecs. So, worked around this where git-checkignore is
called.
I don't quite understand the cause of the deadlock. It only occurred
when git-annex-shell transferinfo was being spawned over ssh to feed
download transfer progress back. And if I removed this line from
feedprogressback, the deadlock didn't occur:
bytes <- readSV v
The problem was not a leaked FD, as far as I could see. So what was it?
I don't know.
Anyway, this is a nice clean implementation, that avoids the deadlock.
Just fork off the async threads to handle filtering the stdout and stderr,
and let them clean up their handles whenever they decide to exit.
I've verified that the handles do get promptly closed, although a little
later than I would expect. Presumably that "little later" is what
was making waiting on the threads deadlock.
Despite the late exit, the last line of stdout and stderr appears where
I'd want it to, so I guess this is ok..
Stderr reader blocks waiting for all stderr, and so blocks the process ever
exiting.
I tried several ways to get around this, but no success yet. For now,
disable the stderr reader entirely.
New approach is to do it the expensive way for the first 100 paths
on the command line, but then assume the user doesn't care about order too
much and fall back to the cheap way that does not preserve order.
This will only ever result in a few more git-ls-files being run than were run
before. (Only 1 more is really needed, but around 10 more are currently run
for a max length command line.)
So, no need to worry about the extra zombie, or lost laziness due to concat.
Note that previously, `git annex find *.jpg` would find eg, foo/bar.jpg.
That was never intended or documented behavior, so I'm going to change it.
But this is potentially a behavior change if someone discovered that
behavior and relied on it despite it being accidental. Oh well.. can't make
an omlette w/o breaking some eggs.
This was introduced by commit 450ee53ab6
However, the same problem could affect other calls to programPath,
specifically some on the assistant. So, I fixed it at a deeper level.
In this situation, curl -o exits successfully without creating the output
file.
There was already a workaround for curl file:/// but I did not realize this
also affected regular url downloads.
To fix it, pre-create the destination file before starting curl.
Since we cannot always know the size of an url before trying to download
it, let's always do this.
Note that since curl is told -C -, we have to consider if this
makes curl try to do a ranged download, which might fail on some servers
where a regular download would have succeeded. My testing indicates
this isn't a problem; since the file is empty, curl seems to not try to
do a ranged download.
