Note that TransferInfo does not always contain the Remote, although
any transfer added to the TransferQueue does have a Remote in its
TransferInfo. The transferkeys command still accepts a UUID, which is
useful to handle upgrades, where an old assistant version runs the new
transferkeys.

The ctrl-c hack used before didn't actually seem to work.
No haskell libraries expose TerminateProcess. I tried just calling it via
FFI, but got segfaults, probably to do with the wacky process handle not
being managed correctly. Moving it all into one C function worked.
This was hell. The EvilLinker hack was just final icing on the cake.
We all know what the cake was made of.
Several places assumed this would not happen, and when the AssociatedFile
was Nothing, did nothing.
As part of this, preferred content checks pass the Key around.
Note that checkMatcher is sometimes now called with Just Key and Just File.
It currently constructs a FileMatcher, ignoring the Key. However, if it
constructed a FileKeyMatcher, which contained both, then it might be
possible to speed up parts of Limit, which currently call the somewhat
expensive lookupFileKey to get the Key.
I have not made this optimisation yet, because I am not sure if the key is
always the same. Will need some significant checking to satisfy myself
that's the case..
Windows has a larger (unsigned) PID space, so cannot use the unix CInt
there.
Note that TransferInfo does not yet ever get the TransferPid populated,
as there is missing locking.
transferkeys had used special FDs for communication, but that would be
quite annoying to do in Windows.
Instead, use stdin and stdout. But, to avoid commands like rsync stomping
on them and messing up the communications channel, they're duplicated to a
different handle; stdin is replaced with a null handle, and stdout is
replaced with a copy of stderr. This should all work in windows too.
Stopping in progress transfers may work on windows.. if the types unify
anyway. ;) May need some more porting.
Currently have three old versions of functions that more reworking is
needed to remove: getDaemonStatusOld, modifyDaemonStatusOld_, and
modifyDaemonStatusOld
I had an intuition that throwTo might be blocking because an exception was
caught and the exception handler was running. This seems to be the case,
and is avoided by using try. However, I can't really find anywhere in
throwTo's documentation that justifies this behavior.
Run code that pops off the next queued transfer and adds it to the active
transfer map within an allocated transfer slot, rather than before
allocating a slot. Fixes the transfers display, which had been displaying
the next transfer as a running transfer, while the previous transfer was
still running.
A paused transfer's thread keeps running, keeping the slot in use.
This is intentional; pausing a transfer should not let other
queued transfers to run in its place.
This doesn't quite work, because canceling a transfer sends a signal
to git-annex, but not to rsync (etc).
Looked at making git-annex run in its own process group, which could then
be killed, and would kill child processes. But, rsync checks if it's
process group is the foreground process group and doesn't show progress if
not, and when git has run git-annex, if git-annex makes a new process
group, that is not the case. Also, if git has run git-annex, ctrl-c
wouldn't be propigated to it if it made a new process group.
So this seems like a blind alley, but recording it here just in case.
Should work (untested) for transfers being run by other processes.
Not yet by transfers being run by the assistant. killThread does not
kill processes forked off by a thread. To fix this, will probably
need to make `git annex getkey` and `git annex sendkey` commands that
operate on keys, and write their own transfer info. Then the assistant
can run them, and kill them, as needed.
This should fix OSX/BSD issues with not noticing transfer information
files with kqueue. Now that threads are used, the thread can manage the
transfer slot allocation and deallocation by itself; much cleaner.
