My concern with using bytestring for this is the file needs to be split
into lines, and the encoding is not known. It's safe to split a utf-8
encoded file on the \n byte; only newlines get encoded to that byte in utf-8.
And this code already assumes utf-8 or ascii encoding, because it used
the filesystem encoding.
This relies on git ls-files --with-tree, which I'm using in a way that
its man page does not document. Hm. I emailed the git list to try to get
the docs improved, but at least the git test suite does test the same
kind of use case I'm using here.
Performance impact when not in an adjusted branch is limited to some
additional MVar accesses, and a single git call to determine the name of
the current branch. So very minimal.
When in an adjusted branch, the performance impact is
in Annex.WorkTree.lookupFile, which starts doing an equal amount of work
for files that didn't exist as it already did for files that were
unlocked.

Running git-annex linux builds in termux seems to work well enough that the
only reason to keep the Android app would be to support Android 4-5, which
the old Android app supported, and which I don't know if the termux method
works on (although I see no reason why it would not).
According to [1], Android 4-5 remains on around 29% of devices, down from
51% one year ago.

This is a rather large commit, but mostly very straightfoward removal of
android ifdefs and patches and associated cruft.
Also, removed support for building with very old ghc < 8.0.1, and with
yesod < 1.4.3, and without concurrent-output, which were only being used
by the cross build.
Some documentation specific to the Android app (screenshots etc) needs
to be updated still.

Work around git cat-file --batch's protocol not supporting newlines by
running git cat-file not batched and passing the filename as a
parameter.
Of course this is quite a lot less efficient, especially because it
currently runs it multiple times to query for different pieces of
information.
Also, it has subtly different behavior when the batch process was
started and then some changes were made, in which case the batch process
sees the old index but this workaround sees the current index. Since
that batch behavior is mostly a problem that affects the assistant and has
to be worked around in it, I think I can get away with this difference.
I don't know of any other problems with newlines in filenames, everything
else in git I can think of supports -z. And git-annex's json output
supports newlines in filenames so downstream parsers from git-annex will be ok.
git-annex commands that use --batch themselves don't support newlines
in input filenames; using --json --batch is currently a way around that
problem.

* Don't use GIT_PREFIX when GIT_WORK_TREE=. because it seems git

On second thought, git passes filepaths, which may not be valid utf8, so

String will be a little bit slower, but not enough to worry about.
Git uses pkt-line in the pack and http protocols, and for the long-running

This should be a quite efficient parser and builder since it uses
attoparsec and bytestring-builder.
This adds a dependency on attoparsec, but it's a free dependency because
eg aeson depends on attoparsec and git-annex depends on aeson.

https://prime.haskell.org/wiki/Libraries/Proposals/SemigroupMonoid
I am not happy with the fragile pile of CPP boilerplate required to support
ghc back to 7.0, which git-annex still targets for both the android build
and the standalone build targeting old linux kernels. It makes me unlikely
to want to use Semigroup more in git-annex, because the benefit of the
abstraction is swamped by the ugliness. I actually considered ripping out
all the Semigroup instances, but some are needed to use
optparse-applicative.
The problem, I think, is they made this transaction on too fast a timeline.
(Although ironically, work on it started in 2015 or earlier!)
In particular, Debian oldstable is not out of security support, and it's
not possible to follow the simpler workarounds documented on the wiki and
have it build on oldstable (because the semigroups package in it is too
old).
I have only tested this build with ghc 8.2.2, not the newer and older
versions that branches of the CPP support. So there could be typoes, we'll
see.

In some cases, unstaged changes are safe, eg dotfiles in the top which
are not affected by a view. Or non-annexed files in general which would
prevent view branch checkout from proceeding. But in other cases,
particularly unstaged changes to annexed files, entering a view would wipe
out those changes! And so don't allow entering a view with any unstaged
changes.
Staged changes are not safe when entering a view, because the changes get
committed to the view branch, and so the user is unlikely to remember them
when they exit the view, and so will effectively lose them, even if they're
still present in the view branch.
Also, improved the git status parser, although the improvement turned out
to not really be needed.
This commit was sponsored by Eric Drechsel on Patreon.
This fixes a crash when a git submodule has a name starting with a dot.
Such a submodule might contain dotfiles that are intended to be used when
inside the view (since a dot-directory that's not a submodule was already
preserved when entering a view). So, rather than eliminating the submodule
from the view, its git ls-files --stage hash is copied over into the view.
dotfiles/dirs have their git ls-files --stage hashes similarly copied over
to the view. This is more efficient and simpler than the old method,
and also won't break if git ever adds a new type of tree item, like was
done with submodules.
Since the content of dotfiles in the working tree is no longer hashed
when entering a view, when there are unstaged modifications, they are
not included in the view branch. Entering the view branch still works,
but git checkout shows "M .dotfile", and git diff will show the unstaged
changes. This seems like an improvement over the old behavior.
Also made Command.View not delete empty directories that are submodules
when entering a view, while still deleting other empty directories.

Switch to Data.Map.Strict everywhere that used it.
There are still lots of lazy maps in git-annex. I think switching these
is safe. The risk is that there might be a map that is used in a way
that relies on the values not being evaluated to WHNF, and switching to
strict might result in bad performance or memory use. So, I have not
switched everything.
And for tab completion, by not unnessessarily statting paths to remotes,
which used to cause eg, spin-up of removable drives.
Got rid of the remotes member of Git.Repo. This was a bit painful.
Remote.Git modifies the list of remotes as it reads their configs,
so still need a persistent list of remotes. So, put it in as
Annex.gitremotes. It's only populated by getGitRemotes, so commands
like examinekey that don't care about remotes won't do so.

Absurd amount of busy-work forced on me by change in cabal's behavior.
Split up Utility modules that need posix stuff out of ones used by
Setup. Various other hacks around inability for Setup to use anything

Probably lost a full day of my life to this.
This is how build systems make their users hate them. Just saying.
This reverts commit 51228c2306.
No, still doesn't work when built with cabal. It did with stack; stack
must somehow make the unix package implicitly available.
With cabal, System.Posix.Process and System.Posix.Env are both missing.
Seems I had all the work in past commits to make this build, at least on
linux. I'm actually surprised it does, without a unix dep, Utility.Env
still builds ok somehow despite using System.Posix.Env.

This avoids warnings from stack about the module not being listed in the
cabal file. So, the generated file is also renamed to Build/SysConfig.
Note that the setup program seems to be cached despite these changes; I
had to cabal clean to get cabal to update it so that Build/SysConfig was
written.

They need unix on non-windows, for Utility.Env, which Build.Configure uses,
but cabal can't express that in a custom-setup stanza.
To avoid this problem, Utility.Env would need to be moved into
unix-compat..
Windows needs the setenv package in custom-setup, but I don't want to
pull it in on unix, which would probably break some builds and need more
work. Instead, split out setEnv to a separate module.
Quite likely, unix-compat will get a portable environment layer, and
then both modules can be removed from here.

So it will be available later and elsewhere, even after GC.
I first though to use git update-index to do this, but feeding it a line

Security fix: Disallow hostname starting with a dash, which would get
passed to ssh and be treated an option. This could be used by an attacker
who provides a crafted ssh url (for eg a git remote) to execute arbitrary
code via ssh -oProxyCommand.
No CVE has yet been assigned for this hole.
The same class of security hole recently affected git itself,
CVE-2017-1000117.
Method: Identified all places where ssh is run, by git grep '"ssh"'
Converted them all to use a SshHost, if they did not already, for
specifying the hostname.
SshHost was made a data type with a smart constructor, which rejects
hostnames starting with '-'.
Note that git-annex already contains extensive use of Utility.SafeCommand,
which fixes a similar class of problem where a filename starting with a
dash gets passed to a program which treats it as an option.

QuickCheck 2.10 found a counterexample eg "\929184" broke the property.
As far as I can tell, Git.Filename is matching how git handles encoding
of strange high unicode characters in filenames for display. Git does
not display high unicode characters, and instead displays the C-style
escaped form of each byte. This is ambiguous, but since git is not
unicode aware, it doesn't need to roundtrip parse it.
So, making Git.FileName's roundtrip test only chars < 256 seems fine.
Utility.Format.format uses encode_c, in order to mimic git, so that's
ok.
Utility.Format.gen uses decode_c, but only so that stuff like "\n"
in the format string is handled. If the format string contains C-style
octal escapes, they will be converted to ascii characters, and not
combined into unicode characters, but that should not be a problem.
If the user wants unicode characters, they can include them in the
format string, without escaping them.
Finally, decode_c is used by Utility.Gpg.secretKeys, because gpg
--with-colons hex-escapes some characters in particular ':' and '\\'.
gpg passes unicode through, so this use of decode_c is not a problem.

Since MissingH's progress meter display was being used, I re-implemented
my own. Bonus: Now progress is displayed for transfers of files of
unknown size.

They are handled close the same as they are by git. However, unlike git,
git-annex sometimes needs to pass the -n parameter when using these.
So, this has the potential for breaking some setup, and perhaps there ought
to be a ANNEX_USE_GIT_SSH=1 needed to use these. But I'd rather avoid that
if possible, so let's see if anyone complains.
Almost all places where "ssh" was run have been changed to support the env
vars. Anything still calling sshOptions does not support them. In
particular, rsync special remotes don't. Seems that annex-rsync-transport
already gives sufficient control there.
(Fixed in passing: Remote.Helper.Ssh.toRepo used to extract
remoteAnnexSshOptions and pass them to sshOptions, which was redundant
since sshOptions also extracts those.)

Turns out that Data.List.Utils.split is slow and makes a lot of
allocations. Here's a much simpler single character splitter that behaves
the same (even in wacky corner cases) while running in half the time and
75% the allocations.
As well as being an optimisation, this helps move toward eliminating use of
missingh.
(Data.List.Split.splitOn is nearly as slow as Data.List.Utils.split and
allocates even more.)

ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was

Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

.. and have to be checked to see if they are a pointed to an annexed file.
Cases where such memory use could occur included, but were not limited to:
- git commit -a of a large unlocked file (in v5 mode)
- git-annex adjust when a large file was checked into git directly
Generally, any use of catKey was a potential problem.
Fix by using git cat-file --batch-check to check size before catting.
This adds another git batch process, which is included in the CatFileHandle
for simplicity.
There could be performance impact, anywhere catKey is used. Particularly
likely to affect adjusted branch generation speed, and operations on
unlocked files in v6 mode. Hopefully since the --batch-check and
--batch read the same data, disk buffering will avoid most overhead.
Leaving only the overhead of talking to the process over the pipe and
whatever computation --batch-check needs to do.

Speeds up commands like "git-annex find --in remote" by over 50%.
Profiling showed that adjustGitEnv was 21% of the time and 37% of the
allocations of that command. It copied the environment each time with
getEnvironment.
The only repeated use of adjustGitEnv is in withIndexFile, which tends to
be run at least once per file. So, it was optimised by keeping a cache of
the environment, which can be reused.
There could be other better ways to optimise this. Maybe get the while
environment once at startup. But, then it would have to be serialized back
out each time running a child process, so I doubt that would be a net win.
It might be better to cache a version of the environment that is
pre-modified to use .git-annex/index. But, profiling doesn't show that
modifying the enviroment is taking any significant time.
* sync: Previously, when run in a branch with a slash in its name,
such as "foo/bar", the sync branch was "synced/bar". That conflicted
with the sync branch used for branch "bar", so has been changed to
"synced/foo/bar".
* adjust: Previously, when adjusting a branch with a slash in its name,
such as "foo/bar", the adjusted branch was "adjusted/bar(unlocked)".
That conflicted with the adjusted branch used for branch "bar",

Eliminate use of Git.Ref.under and Git.Ref.basename; using
Git.Ref.underBase and Git.Ref.base make everything handle deep branches
correctly.
Probably noone was adjusting deep branches, and v6 is still experimental
anyway, so I'm not going to worry about the mess that was left by that bug.
In the case of git-annex sync, using a fixed git-annex with an old unfixed
one will mean they use different sync branches for a deep branch, and so
they may stop syncing until the old one is upgraded. However, that's only
a problem when syncing between repositories without going via a central
bare repository. Added a warning about this to the CHANGELOG, but it's
probably not going to affect many people at all.

Show branch:file that is being operated on.
I had to make ActionItem a type and not a type class because
withKeyOptions' passed two different types of values when using the type
class, and I could not get the type checker to accept that.
This is actually worse than I thought; when git is being run with a
detached work tree, GIT_INDEX_FILE is treated as a path relative to CWD,
instead of the normal behavior of relative the top of the work tree.
This seems to make it basically impossible for any program that wants to
use GIT_INDEX_FILE to use anything other than an absolute path to it; there
are too many configurations to keep straight that can change how git
interprets what should be a simple relative path to a file.
(I have complained to the git developers.)
This affected git annex view. It turns out that some other places
that use GIT_INDEX_FILE were already working around the bug. I removed the
workaround from Annex.Branch since the new workaround will do.
Since git-annex unsets these when started, they have to be explicitly
propigated. Also, this makes --git-dir and --work-tree settings be
reflected in the environment.
The need for this came up in
https://github.com/DanielDent/git-annex-remote-rclone/issues/3
I'd prefer to use the env var, but let's use what git currently supports.
Revert this when the env var gets supported.
Note that the version checking assumes git 2.8.2 will get support for the
switch.
git 2.8.1 (or perhaps 2.9.0) is going to prevent git merge from merging in
unrelated branches. Since the webapp's pairing etc features often combine
together repositories with unrelated histories, work around this behavior
change by setting GIT_MERGE_ALLOW_UNRELATED_HISTORIES when the assistant
merges.
Note though that this is not done for git annex sync's merges, so
it will follow git's default or configured behavior.
This is how direct mode does it too, and somehow, for reasons that
currently escape me, this makes git merge not care if it's run with an
empty work tree.
Rationalle: User might have hook scripts whose output they want to see.
Also, git commit output may tell the user they forgot to add a file.
The output is not too ugly when there's nothing to commit.
This makes the direct mode to v6 upgrade able to be performed in one clone
of a repository without affecting other clones, which can continue using v5
and direct mode.
This does mean that it has to write out temp files containing updated
objects for the merge. So may use more disk space, and disk IO, but that
should generally win out over needing to launch N separate
git hash-object processes.
Only reverse adjust the changes in the commit, which means that adjustments
do not need to be generally cleanly reversable.
For example, an adjustment can unlock all locked files, but does not need
to worry about files that were originally unlocked when reversing, because
it will only ever be run on files that have been changed. So, it's ok
if it locks all files when reversed, or even leaves all files as-is when
reversed.
So, it will pull and push the original branch, not the adjusted one.
And, for merging, it will use updateAdjustedBranch (not implemented yet).
Note that remaining uses of Git.Branch.current need to be checked too;
for things that should act on the original branch, and not the adjusted
branch.
extractTree has to parse the whole input list in order to generate a tree,
so convert interface to non-streaming.
Some quick memory benchmarks in a repo with 60k files
don't look too bad despite not streaming.
To stream, without building up a whole tree object, one way would
be a new interface:
adjustTree :: MonadIO m :: (TreeItem -> m (Maybe TreeItem)) -> Ref -> Repo -> m Sha
This would only need to buffer tree objects from the current one down
to the root, in order to update trees when a TreeItem is changed.
But, while it supports changing items in the tree, and removing items,
it does not support adding new items, or moving items from one directory to
another.
Previously, it only flushed when the queue got larger than 1.
Also, make the queue auto-flush when items are added, rather than needing
to be flushed as a separate step. This simplifies the code and make it more
efficient too, as it avoids needing to read the queue out of the state to
check if it should be flushed.
03cb2c8ece put a cat-file into the fast
bloomfilter generation path. Instead, add another bloom filter which diffs
from the work tree to the index.
Also, pull the sha of the changed object out of the diffs, and cat that
object directly, rather than indirecting through the filename.
Finally, removed some hacks that are unncessary thanks to the worktree to
index diff.
The repo path is typically relative, not absolute, so
providing it to absPathFrom doesn't yield an absolute path.
This is not a bug, just unclear documentation.
Indeed, there seem to be no reason to simplifyPath here, which absPathFrom
does, so instead just combine the repo path and the TopFilePath.
Also, removed an export of the TopFilePath constructor; asTopFilePath
is provided to construct one as-is.
Fixes several bugs with updates of pointer files. When eg, running
git annex drop --from localremote
it was updating the pointer file in the local repository, not the remote.
Also, fixes drop ../foo when run in a subdir, and probably lots of other
problems. Test suite drops from ~30 to 11 failures now.
TopFilePath is used to force thinking about what the filepath is relative
to.
The data stored in the sqlite db is still just a plain string, and
TopFilePath is a newtype, so there's no overhead involved in using it in
DataBase.Keys.
Seems easy, but git ls-files can't list the right subset of files.
So, I wrote a whole new parser for git status output, and converted the
status command to use that.
There are a few other small behavior changes. The order changed. Unlocked
files show as T. In indirect mode, deleted files were not shown before, and
that's fixed. Regular files checked directly into git and modified
were not shown before, and are now.
Using msysgit with git-annex is no longer supported.
At the same time, I'm updating the rsync.exe in my downloads repository
with the one from msys2.
Note that rsync is currently still being ldded and installed in Git/cmd/
like the other cygwin programs. The ldd fails and this failure is ignored.
It would be better to special case it to go in Git/usr/bin/, so that the
user can't run rsync in a dos prompt window, which doesn't work, as it needs
additional libs. However, as far as git-annex running rsync running ssh,
it works ok in this location.
Removed the ssh.cmd and ssh-keygen.cmd; these are not needed with git for
windows. Keeping them would let ssh be run manually from a dos prompt
window, but that's not really a goal.
This removes a bit of complexity, and should make things faster
(avoids tokenizing Params string), and probably involve less garbage
collection.
In a few places, it was useful to use Params to avoid needing a list,
but that is easily avoided.
Problems noticed while doing this conversion:
* Some uses of Params "oneword" which was entirely unnecessary
overhead.
* A few places that built up a list of parameters with ++
and then used Params to split it!
Test suite passes.
None of these are very likely at all to ever be ambiguous, since tree
refs almost never have symbolic names and the sha is very unlikely
to be in the work tree.. But, let's get it right!
git-checkignore refuses to work if any pathspec options are set. Urgh.
I audited the rest of git, and no other commands used by git-annex have
such limitations. Indeed, AFAICS, *all* other commands support
--literal-pathspecs. So, worked around this where git-checkignore is
called.
This might be overkill; I only know I need it in ls-files, but other git
commands can also do their own globbing, it turns out, and I am pretty sure
I never want them too when git-annex is using them as plumbing.
Test suite still passes and it looks ok.
There's no good solution for git-annex here; I can't escape or un-escape
and avoid breaking in some cases, so I've chosen the combo least likely
to result in breakage.
Git really needs to fix its behavior here.
The only other thing git-annex could do is treat this as a feature,
and don't try to escape at all. Ugh.
Note that previously, `git annex find *.jpg` would find eg, foo/bar.jpg.
That was never intended or documented behavior, so I'm going to change it.
But this is potentially a behavior change if someone discovered that
behavior and relied on it despite it being accidental. Oh well.. can't make
an omlette w/o breaking some eggs.
Seen for example, a newly checked out git submodule. In this case,
.git/HEAD is a raw sha, rather than the usual reference to a ref.
Removed currentSha in passing, since it was a more roundabout way of
doing what headSha does, and headSha is more robust.
Seems to work, but still experimental until it's been tested more.
When repositories are on filesystems not supporting symlinks, the .git dir
symlink trick cannot be used. Since we're going to be in direct mode
anyway, the .git dir symlink is not strictly needed.
However, I have not fixed the code that creates new annex symlinks to
handle this case -- the committed symlinks will be wrong.
git annex sync happens to currently fail in a submodule using direct mode,
because there's no HEAD ref. That also needs to be dealt with to get
this fully working in crippled filesystems.
Leaving http://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/44 open until these issues
are dealt with.
Avoids a warning message from git when HEAD doesn't exist. Which it won't
when eg, git-annex is used in a submodule just cloned with
git clone --recursive. In this case, a specific ref is checked out and
there's no HEAD yet.
The code already returned Nothing in this case, so no behavior change other
than not showing the warning. And git-annex operates fine in this
situation.

Unfortunately, this caused breakage on Windows, and possibly elsewhere,
because parentDir and takeDirectory do not behave the same when there is a
trailing directory separator.
parentDir is less safe than takeDirectory, especially when working
with relative FilePaths. It's really only useful in loops that
want to terminate at /

This allows the git repository to be moved while git-annex is running in
it, with fewer problems.
On Windows, this avoids some of the problems with the absurdly small
MAX_PATH of 260 bytes. In particular, git-annex repositories should
work in deeper/longer directory structures than before. See
http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/__34__git-annex:_direct:_1_failed__34___on_Windows/
There are several possible ways this change could break git-annex:
1. If it changes its working directory while it's running, that would
be Bad News. Good news everyone! git-annex never does so. It would also
break thread safety, so all such things were stomped out long ago.
2. parentDir "." -> "" which is not a valid path. I had to fix one
instace of this, and I should probably wipe all calls to parentDir out
of the git-annex code base; it was never a good idea.
3. Things like relPathDirToFile require absolute input paths,
and code assumes that the git repo path is absolute and passes it to it
as-is. In the case of relPathDirToFile, I converted it to not make
this assumption.
Currently, the test suite has 16 failures.
It's ok to probe every time for git-branch remove because that's
run quite rarely. For git-checkattr, it's run only once, when
starting the --batch mode, and so again the overhead is pretty minimal.
This leaves 2 places where the build version is still used.
git merge might be interactive or fail if one skews, and --no-gpg-sign
might not be pased, or might be passed to a git that doesn't understand it
if the other skews. It seems a little expensive to check the git version
each time these are used.
This doesn't seem likely to cause many problems, at least compared with
check-attr hanging on skew.
This allows bypassing the direct mode guard in a safe way to do all sorts
of things including git revert, git mv, git checkout ...

I had hoped that the git devs could change git's handling of partial
commits to not use a false index file, but seems not.
So, this relies on some git internals to detect that case. The test suite
has a test case added to catch it if changes to git break it.

This allows using Git.Remote w/o needing to have Git.BuildVersion, which
requires configure. It will simplify github-backup when these libraries are
used there.
Didn't know that this library existed!
This includes making git-annex not re-exec itself on start on windows, and
making the test suite on Windows run tests without forking.
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.

* 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.
Old behavior was to take the first fuzzy match. Now, it checks the globa
git config, and runs the normal fuzzy handling, including failing to run a
semi-random command by default.
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.
The repair code assumed that if fsck found no broken objects, after
removing bad objects and possibly pulling replacements from remote, all was
well.. but this is not really true. Removing bad objects could leave some
branches broken. fsck doesn't report any missing objects in this case,
and its messages about broken branches are ignored by the fsck output
parser.
To deal with this, added a separate scan of all refs to find broken ones
and remove them when --forced. This will also let anyone who ran into this
bug run repair again to fix up the incomplete repair done before.

This is a security/usability tradeoff. To avoid exposing the gpg key ids
who can decrypt the repository, users can unset
gcrypt-publish-participants.
The gcrypt-publish-participants option is available in my fork of
git-remote-gcrypt.

Support users who have set commit.gpgsign, by disabling gpg signatures for
git-annex branch commits and commits made by the assistant.
The thinking here is that a user sets commit.gpgsign intending the commits
that they manually initiate to be gpg signed. But not commits made in the
background, whether by a deamon or implicitly to the git-annex branch.
gpg signing those would be at best a waste of CPU and at worst would fail,
or flood the user with gpg passphrase prompts, or put their signature on
changes they did not directly do.
See Debian bug #753720.
Also makes all commits done by git-annex go through a few central control
points, to make such changes easier in future.
Also disables commit.gpgsign in the test suite.

The bug caused the size of the queue to be miscalculted; it was doubled
each time an item was added. Commands run after approx 140 items rather
than the intended 10240!
It was possible for a interrupted sync or merge in direct mode to
leave the work tree out of sync with the last recorded commit.
This would result in the next commit seeing files missing from the work
tree, and committing their removal.
Now, a direct mode merge happens not only in a throwaway work tree, but using
a temporary index file, and without any commits or index changes
being made until the real work tree has been updated. If the merge is
interrupted, the work tree may have some updated files, but worst case a
commit will redundantly commit changes that come from the merge.
