If the cleanup of a single file fails for some reason, continue
to clean up other files.
This could happen because of a race. The merge pulls in a change to a file,
which gets changed locally at the same time.
Made fromDirect check that a file in the tree has good content (and is not
a broken symlink either) before copying it to another file that has the
same key.
Made replaceFile clean up the temp file if the action that creates it, or
the file replacement action fails.
This was also tripped by the test suite's automatic conflict resolution
test. Which also shows BTW that an unnecessary copy of content is done
sometimes when merging in direct mode. Not going to try to speed that up
now.
This bug was turned up by the test suite, running fsck in direct mode.
A repository was cloned, was put into direct mode, was fscked, and fsck
incorrectly said that no copy existed of a file, that was actually present
in origin.
This turned out to occur because fsck first did a Annex.Branch.change,
recording that it did not locally have the file. That was recorded in the
journal. Since neither the git annex direct not the fsck had yet needed to
read any info from the branch, but had only made changes to it, the
origin/git-annex branch was not yet merged in. So the journal got a
location log entry written to it, but this did not include
the location log info for the origin. When fsck then did a
Annex.Branch.get, it trusted the journal was cosnsitent, and returned it,
again w/o merging from origin/git-annex. This latter behavior is the
actual bug.
Refer to commit e9bfa8eaed for the thinking
behind it being ok to make a change to a file on the branch, without
first merging the branch. That thinking still stands. However, it means
that files in the journal cannot be trusted to be consistent if the branch
has not been merged. So, to fix, just enure the branch gets merged, even
when reading from the journal.
In tests, this does not seem to cause any extra merging. Except, of course,
in the one case described above. But git annex add, etc, are able to make
changes w/o first merging the branch.
The bug was in movein, which just replaceFile'd the file with a symlink,
even if it already had the desired content, before trying to pull the
content out of the annex and replace the symlink with it.
That was ok-ish for non conflicted merges, where if the file existed it would
be an old version of the content. But for conflicted merges, the automatic
merge resolver has already run, and will have already put the desired
content into the file for the local variant.
Also, made removeDirect not trust that the associated files map is correct.
Only if it can verify that another file has the content will it not move it
into .git/annex/objects.
As seen in this bug report, the lifted exception handling using the StateT
monad throws away state changes when an action throws an exception.
http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/git_annex_fork_bombs_on_gpg_file/
.. Which can result in cached values being redundantly calculated, or other
possibly worse bugs when the annex state gets out of sync with reality.
This switches from a StateT AnnexState to a ReaderT (MVar AnnexState).
All changes to the state go via the MVar. So when an Annex action is
running inside an exception handler, and it makes some changes, they
immediately go into affect in the MVar. If it then throws an exception
(or even crashes its thread!), the state changes are still in effect.
The MonadCatchIO-transformers change is actually only incidental.
I could have kept on using lifted-base for the exception handling.
However, I'd have needed to write a new instance of MonadBaseControl
for the new monad.. and I didn't write the old instance.. I begged Bas
and he kindly sent it to me. Happily, MonadCatchIO-transformers is
able to derive a MonadCatchIO instance for my monad.
This is a deep level change. It passes the test suite! What could it break?
Well.. The most likely breakage would be to code that runs an Annex action
in an exception handler, and *wants* state changes to be thrown away.
Perhaps the state changes leaves the state inconsistent, or wrong. Since
there are relatively few places in git-annex that catch exceptions in the
Annex monad, and the AnnexState is generally just used to cache calculated
data, this is unlikely to be a problem.
Oh yeah, this change also makes Assistant.Types.ThreadedMonad a bit
redundant. It's now entirely possible to run concurrent Annex actions in
different threads, all sharing access to the same state! The ThreadedMonad
just adds some extra work on top of that, with its own MVar, and avoids
such actions possibly stepping on one-another's toes. I have not gotten
rid of it, but might try that later. Being able to run concurrent Annex
actions would simplify parts of the Assistant code.
Before, if a direct mode repo had one or more associated files that
were modifed, moving the object into it would overwrite the associated
files with the pristine object.
Now, modified associated files are left unchanged. To ensure that,
when an object is moved into a direct mode repo, it's not thrown away,
it gets stored in indirect mode.
This fixes a bug with git annex add in direct mode. If some files already
existed in the tree pointing at the same key as a file that was just added,
and their content was not present, add neglected to copy the content to
those files.
I also changed the behavior of moveAnnex slightly: When content is moved
into the annex in direct mode, it does not overwrite any content already
present in direct mode files. That content may be modified after all.
On Windows with Cygwin, checking out a git-annex repo will create symlinks
on disk, so we need to always try to read the symlink, even when
core.symlinks says they're not supported.
Seems that Windows doesn't allow deleting a file that the same process has open.
Here the inode cache file was read and a the value from it gets used later.
But due to laziness, the old file is still open when it gets deleted. Adding
strictness avoids this problem. Of course, the file is small, so it's no
problem to read it all strictly, so this is probably an improvement even
outside of Windows.
That's needed in files used to build the configure program.
For the other files, I'm keeping my __WINDOWS__ define, as I find that much easier to type.
I may search and replace it to use the mingw32_HOST_OS thing later.
It's possible for files in indirect mode to have a direct mode mapping
file. Probably from when they were in direct mode. In this case,
toDirectGen tried to copy the content from the direct mode file that the
mapping said had it. But, being in indirect mode, it didn't really have the
content. So it did nothing. This fix makes it always move the content from
.git/annex/objects/ when it's there.
I don't know why, but I can't seem to set the environment variables inside
git-annex to work around the git error caused by android's crappy username
and hostname settings. This workaround works, and that's all that's good
about it.
Git fails on Android, because it gets some weird domain for local host like
"localhost.(none)". This works around that. I made it always set EMAIL when
GECOS workaround was needed (unless EMAIL is already set). It might be
nicer to try to get the hostname.domain as git does, and only set it if
that fails. But I don't want to be stuck trying to exactly duplicate
whatever git is doing.
A content directory can be frozen in direct mode. One way this can happen
is if the content is transferred before direct mode has a mapping for it,
so it's stored in the content directory.
So, we need to thaw the content directory before doing things with it.
The root of the problem is that toInodeCache sees a non-symlink, and so
goes on and generates a new inode cache for the dummy symlink.
Any place that toInodeCache, or sameFileStatus, or genInodeCache are called
may need to deal with this case. Although many of them are ok. For example,
prepSendAnnex calls sameInodeCache, which calls genInodeCache.. but if
the file content is not present, the InodeCache generated for its standin
file is appropriately not the same, and so it returns Nothing.
I've audited some, but have to say I'm not happy with this; it should be
handled at the type level somehow, or a toInodeCache wrapper be used that
is aware of dummy symlinks.
(The Watcher already dealt with it, via the guardSymlinkStandin function.)
