Note the very weird workaround for what appears to be some kind of tasty
bug, which causes a segfault. This is not new to this modification,
I was seeing a segfault before at least intermittently when limiting
git-annex test -p to only run a single test group.
Also, the path from one test repo to a remote test repo used to be
"../../foo", which somehow broke when moving the test repos from .t to
.t/N. I don't actually quite understand how it used to work, but
"../foo" seems correct and works in the new situation.
Test output from the concurrent processes is not yet serialized.
Should be easy to do using concurrent-output.
More test groups will probably make the speedup larger. It would
probably be best to have a larger number of test groups and divvy them
amoung subprocesses numbered based on the number of CPU cores, perhaps
times 2 or 3.

Avoid git-annex test being very slow when run from within the standalone
linux tarball or OSX app.
It may not really be necessary to add to PATH the directory where the
git-annex binary resides, but it can't hurt. Most places where the test
suite or git-annex run git-annex, they use programPath, so won't need
a modified PATH. But I'm not sure if that's always the case.

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.

Make sure that tip keeps working.
I tried to go futher and touch the file and make sure it stayed what it
was converted to, but struggled with some weird and not entirely
reproducable behavior, so kept the tests simple for now.
Display the transcript as part of the failure message for the assertion.
This avoids scrambling the tasty display.

Only displaying git-annex and git command output when something went wrong.
A few could still leak stderr. These include the couple of calls
to readProcess, which reads stdin but lets stderr through. But they don't
leak any usually, so probably only would when failing anyway.
Currently, there is no excess output at all!

Believed to be no longer needed as I've squashed the last ones.
Note that, in Test.Framework, I can see no reason for the code to have
run it twice. It does not cause running processes to exit after all,
so any process that has leaked and is running and causing problems with
cleanup of the directory won't be helped by running it.

Not yet 100% done, so far I've grepped for waitForProcess and converted
everything that uses that to start the process with withCreateProcess.
Except for some things like P2P.IO and Assistant.TransferrerPool,
and Utility.CoProcess, that manage a pool of processes. See #2
in https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/more_extensive_retries_to_mask_transient_failures/#comment-209f8a8c38e63fb3a704e1282cb269c7
for how those will need to be dealt with.
checkSuccessProcess, ignoreFailureProcess, and forceSuccessProcess calls waitForProcess, so
callers of them will also need to be dealt with, and have not been yet.
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.

The parser and looking up config keys in the map should both be faster
due to using ByteString.
I had hoped this would speed up startup time, but any improvement to
that was too small to measure. Seems worth keeping though.
Note that the parser breaks up the ByteString, but a config map ends up
pointing to the config as read, which is retained in memory until every
value from it is no longer used. This can change memory usage
patterns marginally, but won't affect git-annex.
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.
I just had a test that crashed at cleanup on linux with:
.t/gpgtest/12/S.gpg-agent.browser: removeDirectoryRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:getSymbolicLinkStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory)
sleeping 10 seconds and will retry directory cleanup
git-annex: .t/gpgtest/14/S.gpg-agent.browser: removeDirectoryRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:getSymbolicLinkStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory)
removePathForcibly is supposed to be more robust to things in the directory vanishing while it's running, etc.
Will probably avoid such crashes.
It was added to directory-1.2.7, which comes with ghc since 8.0.2.
Since base >= 4.11.1.0 means ghc 8.4.4, I expect all builds will have it,
but I ifdefed it to be sure.
Its repeated opening and writing to the sqlite database somehow caused
inode cache information to occasionally be lost.
This loses code coverage, since running git-annex as a child process
prevents tracking what parts of the code are exercised. I have not looked
at the code coverage in a long time. It would probably be possible to
collect code coverage for the child procesess and merge it together.
On second thought, the extra time running the test suite is worth it.
It will be gained back once we finally get rid of direct mode.
There are two failing tests, same two that have been failing on windows
(though the failure does not look identical). So this should also spare me
the Windows VM while fixing.
This way a failure to clean up the main repo dir from a previous pass
can't result in reusing that repo, which won't be configured right for the
current pass.
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.)
This way when there's a failure the output is available to understand
the problem. Should help with some intermittent test failures that I
have not been able to reproduce to understand why it's failing.
Does mean the test output is more verbose, but it was already very
verbose.
Avoid performing repository fixups for submodules and git-worktrees
when there's a .noannex file that will prevent git-annex from being
used in the repository.
This change is ok as long as the .noannex file is really going to prevent
git-annex from being used. But, init --force could override the file.
Which would result in the repo being initialized without the fixups
having run.
To avoid that situation decided to change init, to not let --force be used
to override a .noannex file. Instead the user can just delete the file.
What these generate is not really suitable to be used as a filename,
which is why keyFile and fileKey further escape it. These are just
serializing Keys.
Also removed a quickcheck test that was very unlikely to test anything
useful, since it relied on random chance creating something that looks
like a serialized key. The other test is sufficient for testing what
that was intended to test anyway.
init: When --version=5 is passed on a crippled filesystem, use a v5 direct
mode repo as requested, rather than upgrading to v7 adjusted unlocked.
Fixed test suite on crippled filesystems, making it request --version=5
to test direct mode.
Not the first time this kind of test suite breakage has happened..
It would be good to avoid somehow it looking up from .t and finding a git
repo. But just running the test suite from time to time outside of
git-annex would also let me notice these before the distribution packagers
do.

I've seen intermittent failures of the test suite with v6 for a long time,
it seems to have possibly gotten worse with the changes around v7. Or just
being unlucky; all tests failed today.
Seen on amd64 and i386 builders, repeatedly but intermittently:
unused: FAIL (4.86s)
Test.hs:928:
git diff did not show changes to unlocked file
And I think other such failures, all involving v7/v6 mode tests.
I managed to reproduce the unused failure with --keep-failures,
and inside the repo, git diff was indeed not showing any changes for
the modified unlocked file.
The two stats will be the same other than mtime; the old and new files have
the same size and inode, since the test case writes to the file and then
overwrites it.
Indeed, notice the identical timestamps:

I'm seeing this in Linux VMs; it doesn't happen on my laptop. I've also
not experienced the intermittent test suite failures on my laptop.
So, I hope that this small delay will avoid the problem.
Update: I didn't, indeed I then reproduced the same failure on my
laptop, so it must be due to something else. But keeping this change anyway
since not needing to worry about lowish-resolution mtime in the test suite seems
worthwhile.
Install new git hooks in this version.
This does beg the question of what to do if git later gets eg a
post-smudge hook, that could run git-annex smudge --update. I think the
thing to do in that case would be to make git-annex smudge --update
install the new hooks. That way, as the user uses git-annex, the hook
would be created pretty quickly and without needing any extra syscalls
except for when git-annex smudge --update is called.
I considered doing something like that for installation of the
post-checkout and post-merge hooks, which would have avoided the need
for v7. But the only place it was cheap to do it would be in git-annex smudge
which could cheaply notice that smudge.log didn't exist yet and so know
the hooks needed to be installed. But since smudge used to populate pointer
files, it would be quite surprising if a single git checkout/merge failed
to update the work tree, and so that idea didn't work out.
The other reason for v7 is psychological -- users don't need to worry
about whether they might be running an old version of git-annex that
doesn't support their v7 repository very well. And bug reports about
"v6" have gotten a bit of a bad association in my head since they often
hit one of the known limitations and didn't realize it was experimental.
