This adds the overhead of a copy when serializing and deserializing keys.
I have not benchmarked much, but runtimes seem barely changed at all by that.
When a lot of keys are in memory, it improves memory use.
And, it prevents keys sometimes getting PINNED in memory and failing to GC,
which is a problem ByteString has sometimes. In particular, git-annex sync
from a borg special remote had that problem and this improved its memory
use by a large amount.

IncrementalVerifier moved to Utility.Hash, which will let Utility.Url
use it later.
It's perhaps not really specific to hashing, but making a separate
module just for the data type seemed unncessary.

Now it's run in VerifyStage.
I thought about keeping the file handle open, and resuming reading where
tailVerify left off. But that risks leaking open file handles, until the
GC closes them, if the deferred verification does not get resumed. Since
that could perhaps happen if there's an exception somewhere, I decided
that was too unsafe.
Instead, re-open the file, seek, and resume.

It uses tailVerify to hash the file while it's being written.
This is able to sometimes avoid a separate checksum step. Although
if the file gets written quickly enough, tailVerify may not see it
get created before the write finishes, and the checksum still happens.
Testing with the directory special remote, incremental checksumming did
not happen. But then I disabled the copy CoW probing, and it did work.
What's going on with that is the CoW probe creates an empty file on
failure, then deletes it, and then the file is created again. tailVerify
will open the first, empty file, and so fails to read the content that
gets written to the file that replaces it.
The directory special remote really ought to be able to avoid needing to
use tailVerify, and while other special remotes could do things that
cause similar problems, they probably don't. And if they do, it just
means the checksum doesn't get done incrementally.

This eliminates the distinction between decodeBS and decodeBS', encodeBS
and encodeBS', etc. The old implementation truncated at NUL, and the
primed versions had to do extra work to avoid that problem. The new
implementation does not truncate at NUL, and is also a lot faster.
(Benchmarked at 2x faster for decodeBS and 3x for encodeBS; more for the
primed versions.)
Note that filepath-bytestring 1.4.2.1.8 contains the same optimisation,
and upgrading to it will speed up to/fromRawFilePath.
AFAIK, nothing relied on the old behavior of truncating at NUL. Some
code used the faster versions in places where I was sure there would not
be a NUL. So this change is unlikely to break anything.
Also, moved s2w8 and w82s out of the module, as they do not involve
filesystem encoding really.

This uses a DebugSelector, rather than debug levels, which will allow
for a later option like --debug-from=Process to only
see debuging about running processes.
The module name that contains the thing being debugged is used as the
DebugSelector (in most cases; does not need to be a hard and fast rule).
Debug calls were changed to add that. hslogger did not display
that first parameter to debugM, but the DebugSelector does get
displayed.
Also fastDebug will allow doing debugging in places that are used in
tight loops, with the DebugSelector coming from the Annex Reader
essentially for free. Not done yet.
IORef rather than MVar sped up benchmark mentioned in last commit to
13.0s.
This makes me wonder if changing the interface to not need the IORef
either would improve speed further.
Checksum as content is received from a remote git-annex repository, rather
than doing it in a second pass.
Not tested at all yet, but I imagine it will work!
Not implemented for any special remotes, and also not implemented for
copies from local remotes. It may be that, for local remotes, it will
suffice to use rsync, rely on its checksumming, and simply return Verified.
(It would still make a checksumming pass when cp is used for COW, I guess.)
As yet unused.
Backend.External could perhaps implement it too, although that would
involve sending chunks of data to it via a pipe or something, so likely
to be slow.
Lots of nice wins from this in avoiding unncessary work, and I think
nothing got slower.
This commit was sponsored by Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. on Patreon.
This is groundwork for external backends, but also makes sense to keep
this information with the rest of a Backend's implementation.
Also, removed isVerifiable. I noticed that the same information is
encoded by whether a Backend implements verifyKeyContent or not.
This assumes that no location log files will have a newline or carriage
return in their name. catObjectStream skips any such files due to
cat-file not supporting them.
Keys have been prevented from containing newlines since 2011,
commit 480495beb4. If some old repo
had a key with a newline in it, --all will just skip processing that key.
Other things, like .git/annex/unused files certianly assume no newlines in
keys too, and AFAICR, such keys never actually worked.
Carriage return is escaped by preSanitizeKeyName since 2013. WORM keys
generated before that point could perhaps contain a CR. (URL probably not,
http probably doesn't support an URL with a raw CR in it.) So, added
a warning in fsck about such keys. Although, fsck --all will naturally
skip them, so won't be able to warn about them. Not entirely
satisfactory, but I'll bet there are not really any such keys in
existence.
Thanks to Lukey for finding this optimisation.
retrieveExport is part of ongoing transition to make remote methods
throw exceptions, rather than silently hide them.
getKey very rarely fails, and when it does it's always for the same reason
(user configured annex.backend to url for some reason). So, this will
avoid dealing with Nothing everywhere it's used.

Fix some cases where handling of keys with extensions varied depending on
the locale.
A filename with a unicode extension would before generate a key with an
extension in a unicode locale, but not in LANG=C, because the extension
was not all alphanumeric. Also the the length of the extension could be
counted differently depending on the locale.
In a non-unicode locale, git-annex migrate would see that the extension
was not all alphanumeric and want to "upgrade" it. Now that doesn't happen.
As far as backwards compatability, this does mean that unicode
extensions are counted by the number of bytes, not number of characters.
So, if someone is using unicode extensions, they may find git-annex
stops using them when adding files, because their extensions are too
long. Keys already in their repo with the "too long" extensions will
still work though, so this only prevents adding the same content with
the same extension generating the same key. Documented this by
documenting that annex.maxextensionlength is a number of bytes.
Also, if a filename has an extension that is not valid utf-8 and the
locale is utf-8, the extension will be allowed now, and an old
git-annex, in the same locale would not, and would also want to
"upgrade" that.
the encode' and decode' functions on Windows should not apply the
filesystem encoding, which does not work there. Instead, convert to and
from UTF-8.
Also, avoid exporting encodeW8 and decodeW8. Both use the filesystem
encoding, so won't work as expected on windows.
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.
using a blake2 variant optimised for 4-way CPUs
This had been deferred because the Debian package of cryptonite, and
possibly other builds, was broken for blake2bp, but I've confirmed #892855
is fixed.

Drop support for building with ghc older than 8.4.4, and with older

The only remaining version ifdefs in the entire code base are now a couple
for aws!
This commit should only be merged after the Debian 10 release.
And perhaps it will need to wait longer than that; it would make
backporting new versions of git-annex to Debian 9 (stretch) which
has been actively happening as recently as this year.

The hash was actually not being fully evaluated before, used rnf to fix
that.
The added dependency on deepseq is a free dependency, because eg text
depends on it.
No behavior changes, but this shows everywhere that a progress meter
could be displayed when hashing a file to add to the annex.
Many of the places don't make sense to display a progress meter though,
eg when importing the copy of the file probably swamps the hashing of
the file.
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.)
Adding that field broke the Read/Show serialization back-compat,
and also the Eq and Ord instances were not blinded to it, which broke
git annex fsck and probably more.
I think that the new approach used in formatKeyVariety will be nearly
as fast, but have not benchmarked it.
This reverts commit 4536c93bb2.
That broke Read/Show of a Key, and unfortunately Key is read in at least
one place; the GitAnnexDistribution data type.
It would be worth bringing this optimisation back, but it would need
either a custom Read/Show instance that preserves back-compat, or
wrapping Key in a data type that contains the serialization, or changing
how GitAnnexDistribution is serialized.
Also, the Eq instance would need to compare keys with and without a
cached seralization the same.
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.
It means that every place a Key has any of its fields changed, the cache
has to be dropped. I've grepped and found them all. But, it would be
better to avoid that gotcha somehow..
Added annex.maxextensionlength for use cases where extensions longer than 4
characters are needed.

In 2013, I wrote "Cryptohash benchmarks 90 to 101% faster than external
hashers". Re-benchmarking today, I found cryptonite's sha256 consistently
outperformed coreutils by 10% for large files. Tested 10 mb, 100 mb, 1 gb
files with both sha256 and sha512. And for smaller files, the external
process startup time swamps the hash time.
Perhaps cryptonite has improved. Or it could just do better on my
current CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU 4410Y @ 1.50GHz). Anyway, even if cryptonite
is slower in some situations, seems likely it would only be marginally slower;
it's got the same class of highly optimised C code under the hood as coreutils.
The main difference between the two sha256 implementations seems to be
how much of the inner loop they unroll..

* migrate: Check for above bug when migrating from SHA256 to SHA256
(and same for SHA1 to SHA1 etc), and remove the extension that should
not be in the SHA256 key.
* fsck: Detect and warn when keys need an upgrade, either to fix up
from the above migrate bug, or to add missing size information
(a long ago transition), or because of a few other past key related
bugs.

Some blake hash varieties were not yet available in that version.
Rather than tracking exact details of what cryptonite supported when,
disable blake unless using a current cryptonite.
There are a lot of different variants and sizes, I suppose we might as well
export all the common ones.
Bump dep to cryptonite to 0.16, earlier versions lacked BLAKE2 support.
Even android has 0.16 or newer.
On Debian, Blake2bp_512 is buggy, so I have omitted it for now.

Do not treat parts of the filename that contain punctuation or other
non-alphanumeric characters as extensions. Before, such characters were
filtered out.
Note that in 45308ec78b "foo.ba__________r"
was munged to ".bar" and so incorrectly treated as an extension. That was
fixed by changing the filter order, but not allowing punctuation seems a
better fix.
This assumes that extensions containing punctuation are rare. "_" seems the
most likely character; I used it in ikiwiki "._comment" files. But I can't
recall seeing it anywhere else. It certianly seems that no commonly used
extensions contain punctuation. If git-annex doesn't treat "._comment"
as an extension, it's not likely to break software that expects to see that
extension like some software expects to see .epub or .mp3.
