That and S3 are all that uses creds currently, except that external
remotes can use creds. I have not handled showing info about external
remote creds because they can have 0, 1, or more separate cred pairs, and
there's no way for info to enumerate them or know how they're used.
So it seems ok to leave out creds info for external remotes.
This is intended to let the user easily tell if a remote's creds are
coming from info embedded in the repository, or instead from the
environment, or perhaps are locally stored in a creds file.

Now `git annex info $remote` shows info specific to the type of the remote,
for example, it shows the rsync url.
Remote types that support encryption or chunking also include that in their
info.

Found these with:
git grep "^ " $(find -type f -name \*.hs) |grep -v ': where'
Unfortunately there is some inline hamlet that cannot use tabs for
indentation.
Also, Assistant/WebApp/Bootstrap3.hs is a copy of a module and so I'm
leaving it as-is.
This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory

When decryption fails, the repo must be using non-encrypted creds. Note
that creds are encrypted/decrypted using the encryption cipher which is
stored in the repo, so the decryption cannot fail due to missing gpg keys
etc. (For !shared encryptiom, the cipher is iteself encrypted using some
gpg key(s), and the decryption of the cipher happens earlier, so not
affected by this change.
Print a warning message for !shared repos, and continue on using the
cipher. Wrote a page explaining what users hit by this bug should do.

encryptionSetup must be called before setRemoteCredPair. Otherwise,
the RemoteConfig doesn't have the cipher in it, and so no cipher is used to
encrypt the embedded creds.
This is a security fix for non-shared encryption methods!
For encryption=shared, there's no security problem, just an
inconsistentency in whether the embedded creds are encrypted.
This is very important to get right, so used some types to help ensure that
setRemoteCredPair is only run after encryptionSetup. Note that the external
special remote bypasses the type safety, since creds can be set after the
initial remote config, if the external special remote program requests it.
Also note that IA remotes never use encryption, so encryptionSetup is not
run for them at all, and again the type safety is bypassed.
This leaves two open questions:
1. What to do about S3 and glacier remotes that were set up
using encryption=pubkey/hybrid with embedcreds?
Such a git repo has a security hole embedded in it, and this needs to be
communicated to the user. Is the changelog enough?
2. enableremote won't work in such a repo, because git-annex will
try to decrypt the embedded creds, which are not encrypted, so fails.
This needs to be dealt with, especially for ecryption=shared repos,
which are not really broken, just inconsistently configured.
Noticing that problem for encryption=shared is what led to commit
fbdeeeed5f, which tried to
fix the problem by not decrypting the embedded creds.
This commit was sponsored by Josh Taylor.
This reverts commit fbdeeeed5f.
I can find no basis for that commit and think that I made it in error.
setRemoteCredPair always encrypts using the cipher from remoteCipher,
even when the cipher is shared.
* New annex.hardlink setting. Closes: #758593
* init: Automatically detect when a repository was cloned with --shared,
and set annex.hardlink=true, as well as marking the repository as
untrusted.
Had to reorganize Logs.Trust a bit to avoid a cycle between it and
Annex.Init.
This avoids cp -a overriding the default mode acls that the user might have
set in a git repository.
With GNU cp, this behavior change should not be a breaking change, because
git-anex also uses rsync sometimes in the same situation, and has only ever
preserved timestamps when using rsync.
Systems without GNU cp will no longer use cp -a, but instead just cp.
So, timestamps will no longer be preserved. Preserving timestamps when
copying between repos is not guaranteed anyway.
Closes: #729757
This fixed one bug where it needed to be and wasn't (in Assistant.Unused).
And also found one place where lockContent was used unnecessarily (by
drop --from remote).
A few other places like uninit probably don't really need to lockContent,
but it doesn't hurt to do call it anyway.

Also fixes a test suite failures introduced in recent commits, where
inAnnexSafe failed in indirect mode, since it tried to open the lock file
ReadWrite. This is why the new checkLocked opens it ReadOnly.

Added a convenience Utility.LockFile that is not a windows/posix
portability shim, but still manages to cut down on the boilerplate around
locking.
This commit was sponsored by Johan Herland.
This does mean that eg, copying multiple files to a local remote will
become slightly slower, since it now restarts git-cat-file after each copy.
Should not be significant slowdown.
The reason git-cat-file is run on the remote at all is to update its
location log. In order to add an item to it, it needs to get the current
content of the log. Finding a way to avoid needing to do that would be a
good path to avoiding this slowdown if it does become a problem somehow.

(With the exception of daemon pid locking.)
This fixes at part of #758630. I reproduced the assistant locking eg, a
removable drive's annex journal lock file and forking a long-running
git-cat-file process that inherited that lock.
This did not affect Windows.
Considered doing a portable Utility.LockFile layer, but git-annex uses
posix locks in several special ways that have no direct Windows equivilant,
and it seems like it would mostly be a complication.

Since encryption=shared, the encryption key is stored in the git repo, so
there is no point at all in encrypting the creds, also stored in the git
repo with that key. So `initremote` doesn't. The creds are simply stored
base-64 encoded.
However, it then tried to always decrypt creds when encryption was used..
Added a mkUnavailable method, which a Remote can use to generate a version
of itself that is not available. Implemented for several, but not yet all
remotes.
This allows testing that checkPresent properly throws an exceptions when
it cannot check if a key is present or not. It also allows testing that the
other methods don't throw exceptions in these circumstances.
This immediately found several bugs, which this commit also fixes!
* git remotes using ssh accidentially had checkPresent return
an exception, rather than throwing it
* The chunking code accidentially returned False rather than
propigating an exception when there were no chunks and
checkPresent threw an exception for the non-chunked key.

Implemented the Retriever.
Unfortunately, it is a fileRetriever and not a byteRetriever.
It should be possible to convert this to a byteRetiever, but I got stuck:
The conduit sink needs to process individual chunks, but a byteRetriever
needs to pass a single L.ByteString to its callback for processing. I
looked into using unsafeInerlaveIO to build up the bytestring lazily,
but the sink is already operating under conduit's inversion of control,
and does not run directly in IO anyway.
On the plus side, no more memory leak..
Fixes the memory leak on store.. the second oldest open git-annex bug!
Only retrieve remains to be converted.

Currently, initremote works, but not the other operations. They should be
fairly easy to add from this base.
Also, https://github.com/aristidb/aws/issues/119 blocks internet archive
support.
Note that since http-conduit is used, this also adds https support to S3.
Although git-annex encrypts everything anyway, so that may not be extremely
useful. It is not enabled by default, because existing S3 special remotes
have port=80 in their config. Setting port=443 will enable it.

Removed old extensible-exceptions, only needed for very old ghc.
Made webdav use Utility.Exception, to work after some changes in DAV's
exception handling.
Removed Annex.Exception. Mostly this was trivial, but note that
tryAnnex is replaced with tryNonAsync and catchAnnex replaced with
catchNonAsync. In theory that could be a behavior change, since the former
caught all exceptions, and the latter don't catch async exceptions.
However, in practice, nothing in the Annex monad uses async exceptions.
Grepping for throwTo and killThread only find stuff in the assistant,
which does not seem related.
Command.Add.undo is changed to accept a SomeException, and things
that use it for rollback now catch non-async exceptions, rather than
only IOExceptions.
This speeds up the webdav special remote somewhat, since it often now
groups actions together in a single http connection when eg, storing a
file.
Legacy chunks are still supported, but have not been sped up.
This depends on a as-yet unreleased version of DAV.
This commit was sponsored by Thomas Hochstein.
Reusing http connection when operating on chunks is not done yet,
I had to submit some patches to DAV to support that. However, this is no
slower than old-style chunking was.
Note that it's a fileRetriever and a fileStorer, despite DAV using
bytestrings that would allow streaming. As a result, upload/download of
encrypted files is made a bit more expensive, since it spools them to temp
files. This was needed to get the progress meters to work.
There are probably ways to avoid that.. But it turns out that the current
DAV interface buffers the whole file content in memory, and I have
sent in a patch to DAV to improve its interfaces. Using the new interfaces,
it's certainly going to need to be a fileStorer, in order to read the file
size from the file (getting the size of a bytestring would destroy
laziness). It should be possible to use the new interface to make it be a
byteRetriever, so I'll change that when I get to it.

This will allow special remotes to eg, open a http connection and reuse it,
while checking if chunks are present, or removing chunks.
S3 and WebDAV both need this to support chunks with reasonable speed.
Note that a special remote might want to cache a http connection across
multiple requests. A simple case of this is that CheckPresent is typically
called before Store or Remove. A remote using this interface can certianly
use a Preparer that eg, uses a MVar to cache a http connection.
However, it's up to the remote to then deal with things like stale or
stalled http connections when eg, doing a series of downloads from a remote
and other places. There could be long delays between calls to a remote,
which could lead to eg, http connection stalls; the machine might even
move to a new network, etc.
It might be nice to improve this interface later to allow
the simple case without needing to handle the full complex case.
One way to do it would be to have a `Transaction SpecialRemote cache`,
where SpecialRemote contains methods for Storer, Retriever, Remover, and
CheckPresent, that all expect to be passed a `cache`.
I tend to prefer moving toward explicit exception handling, not away from
it, but in this case, I think there are good reasons to let checkPresent
throw exceptions:
1. They can all be caught in one place (Remote.hasKey), and we know
every possible exception is caught there now, which we didn't before.
2. It simplified the code of the Remotes. I think it makes sense for
Remotes to be able to be implemented without needing to worry about
catching exceptions inside them. (Mostly.)
3. Types.StoreRetrieve.Preparer can only work on things that return a
Bool, which all the other relevant remote methods already did.
I do not see a good way to generalize that type; my previous attempts
failed miserably.
This involved making Remote.Gcrypt.gen expect a Repo with a regular,
non-gcrypt path. Since tht is what's stored as the Remote's gitrepo,
testremote can then modify it and feed it back into gen.
When files are stored using rsync, they have their write bit removed;
so does the directory they're put in. The local repo code did not turn
these bits back on, so failed to remove.
This reaping of any processes came to cause me problems when redoing the
rsync special remote -- a gpg process that was running gets waited on and
the place that then checks its return code fails.
I cannot reproduce any zombies when using the rsync special remote.
But I still can when using a normal git remote, accessed over ssh.
There is 1 zombie per file downloaded without this horrible hack enabled.
So, move the hack to only be used in that case.
Make the byteRetriever be passed the callback that consumes the bytestring.
This way, there's no worries about the lazy bytestring not all being read
when the resource that's creating it is closed.
Which in turn lets bup, ddar, and S3 each switch from using an unncessary
fileRetriver to a byteRetriever. So, more efficient on chunks and encrypted
files.
The only remaining fileRetrievers are hook and external, which really do
retrieve to files.
bup already splits files and does rolling deltas, so there is no reason to
use chunking here.
The new API made it easier to add progress support for storeKey, so that's
done. Unfortunately, bup-split still outputs its own progress with -q,
so a little ugly, but not too bad.
Made dropping remove the branch for an object, for two reasons:
1. The new API calls removeKey to roll back a storeKey when the content
changed unexpectedly.
2. So that testremote will be happy.
Also, fixed a bug that caused a crash when removing the branch for an
object in rollback.
Chunking would complicate the assistant's code that checks when a pending
retrieval of a key from glacier is done. It would perhaps be nice to
support it to allow resuming, but not right now.
Converting to the new API still simplifies the code.
The forall a. in Preparer made resourcePrepare not seem to be usable, so
I specialized a to Bool. Which works for both Preparer Storer and
Preparer Retriever, but wouldn't let the Preparer be used for hasKey
as it currently stands.
And fixed a bug found by these tests; retrieveKeyFile would fail
when the dest file was already complete.
This commit was sponsored by Bradley Unterrheiner.
The content of unstable keys can potentially be different in different
repos, so eg, resuming a chunked upload started by another repo would
corrupt data.
This way, when the remote implementation neglects to update progress,
there will still be a somewhat useful progress display, as long as chunks
are used.
No need to read whole FileContent only to write it back out to a file in
this case. Can just rename! Yay.
Also indidentially, fixed an attempt to open a file for write that was
already opened for write, which caused a crash and deadlock.
Putting a callback in the Retriever type allows for the callback to
remove the retrieved file when it's done with it.
I did not really want to make Retriever be fixed to Annex Bool,
but when I tried to use Annex a, I got into some type of type mess.
Needed for eg, Remote.External.
Generally, any Retriever that stores content in a file is responsible for
updating the meter, while ones that procude a lazy bytestring cannot update
the meter, so are not asked to.
Some remotes like External need to run store and retrieve actions in Annex,
not IO. In order to do that lift, I had to dive pretty deep into the
utilities, making Utility.Gpg and Utility.Tmp be partly converted to using
MonadIO, and Control.Monad.Catch for exception handling.
There should be no behavior changes in this commit.

Leverage the new chunked remotes to automatically resume uploads.
Sort of like rsync, although of course not as efficient since this
needs to start at a chunk boundry.
But, unlike rsync, this method will work for S3, WebDAV, external
special remotes, etc, etc. Only directory special remotes so far,
but many more soon!
This implementation will also allow starting an upload from one repository,
interrupting it, and then resuming the upload to the same remote from
an entirely different repository.
Note that I added a comment that storeKey should atomically move the content
into place once it's all received. This was already an undocumented
requirement -- it's necessary for hasKey to work reliably. This resume code
just uses hasKey to find the first chunk that's missing.
Note that if there are two uploads of the same key to the same chunked remote,
one might resume at the point the other had gotten to, but both will then
redundantly upload. As before.
In the non-resume case, this adds one hasKey call per storeKey, and only
if the remote is configured to use chunks. Future work: Try to eliminate that
hasKey. Notice that eg, `git annex copy --to` checks if the key is present
before sending it, so is already running hasKey.. which could perhaps
be cached and reused.
However, this additional overhead is not very large compared with
transferring an entire large file, and the ability to resume
is certianly worth it. There is an optimisation in place for small files,
that avoids trying to resume if the whole file fits within one chunk.
