Note that the use of s2w8 in genUUIDInNameSpace made it truncate unicode
characters. Luckily, genUUIDInNameSpace is only ever used on ASCII
strings as far as I can determine. In particular, git-remote-gcrypt's
gcrypt-id is an ASCII string.
This is a first step toward that goal, using the ProposedAccepted type
in RemoteConfig lets initremote/enableremote reject bad parameters that
were passed in a remote's configuration, while avoiding enableremote
rejecting bad parameters that have already been stored in remote.log
This does not eliminate every place where a remote config is parsed and a
default value is used if the parse false. But, I did fix several
things that expected foo=yes/no and so confusingly accepted foo=true but
treated it like foo=no. There are still some fields that are parsed with
yesNo but not not checked when initializing a remote, and there are other
fields that are parsed in other ways and not checked when initializing a
remote.
This also lays groundwork for rejecting unknown/typoed config keys.
Drop support for building with ghc older than 8.4.4, and with older
versions of serveral haskell libraries than will be included in Debian 10.
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.

webdav support is going away at the end of this January.
* webapp: Remove configurator for gitlab, which stopped supporting git-annex
some time ago.

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.

Fourth or fifth try at this and finally found a way to make it work.
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
that ifdefs a use of unix.
Probably lost a full day of my life to this.
This is how build systems make their users hate them. Just saying.
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.

This allows using functions that generate CreateProcess and passing the
result to processTranscript', which is more flexible, and also simpler
than the old interface.

... to avoid it consuming stdin that it shouldn't.
This fixes git-annex-checkpresentkey --batch remote, which didn't output
results for all keys passed into it.
Other git-annex commands that communicate with a remote over ssh may also
have been consuming stdin that they shouldn't have, which could have
impacted using them in eg, shell scripts. For example, a shell script
reading files from stdin and passing them to git annex drop would be
impacted by this bug, whenever git annex drop ran git-annex-shell
checkpresent, it would consume part/all of the stdin that the shell script
was supposed to consume.
Fixed by adding a ConsumeStdin parameter to Annex.Ssh.sshOptions, which
is used throughout git-annex to run ssh (in order for ssh connection
caching to work). Every call site was checked to see if it used
CreatePipe for stdin, and if not was marked NoConsumeStdin.
ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

Mostly the username is only used for the git committer or other display
purposes, and we can just fall back to a dummy value in these cases.
The only remaining place where an error is thrown is when starting local
pairing, which needs the username to be known.
When gpg.program is configured, it's used to get the command to run for
gpg. Useful on systems that have only a gpg2 command or want to use it
instead of the gpg command.
This works, but needs more testing and work on cases like encrypted repos,
enabling existing repositories, etc.

Most of the time, there will be no discreprancy between programPath and
readProgramFile.
But, the programFile might have been written by an old version of git-annex
that is still installed, while a newer one is currently running. In this
case, we want to run the same one that's currently running.
This is especially important for things like the GIT_SSH=git-annex used for
ssh connection caching.
The only code that still uses readProgramFile directly is the upgrade code,
which needs to know where the standalone git-annex was installed, in order to
upgrade it.
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.

avoid editing repo for same reasons as in
52601eb606
avoid stomping on its description, even though no description exists until
after syncing is complete
Just after enabing a ssh remote, we've not synced with it yet, so its
description and group are not known. So, avoid showing edit form so user
doesn't see blank info. Instead, redirect to dashboard.
Avoid stomping on existing group and preferred content settings
when enabling or combining with an already existing remote.
Two level fix. First, use defaultStandardGroup rather than
setStandardGroup, so if there is an existing configuration in the git-annex
branch, it's not overwritten.
To handle pre-existing ssh remotes (including gcrypt), a second level is
needed, because before syncing with the remote, it's configuration won't be
available locally. (And syncing could take a long time.) So, in this case,
keep track of whether the remote is being created or enabled, and only set
configs when creating it.

This is the capstone in making the webapp remember ssh remotes
so they can be easily enabled in other clones of the repository.
Currently, the user will need to enter a password to enable the ssh remote,
but everything else is filled in automatically.

The repository must have been added using initremote.
Turned out to be much much simpler than expected, because I was able to
reuse the existing code for enabling rsync and gcrypt remotes, which
was already sufficiently general that it will also work for ssh remotes.
Total win!

Avoid any possibilty of prompting in ssh setup in webapp.
Prticularly on Windows this was a problem, it seemed to enter an infinite
loop. I think that ssh can sometimes use SSH_ASKPASS for y/n prompting,
when no controlling TTY is available, and since git-annex always answers
back with the host's password, not y/n, it looped.

When setting up a remote on a ssh server, prompt for a password inside the
webapp, rather than relying on ssh's own password prompting in the terminal
the webapp was started from, or ssh-askpass.
Avoids double prompting for the ssh password (and triple-prompting on
windows for rsync.net), since the entered password is cached for 10 minutes
and this cached password is reused when setting up the repository, after
the initial probe.
When the user has an existing ssh key set up, they can choose to use it,
rather than entering a password. The webapp used to probe for this case
automatically, so this is a little harder, but it's an advanced user thing.
Note that this commit is known to break enabling existing rsync
repositories. It hs not been tested with gcrypt repositories. It's not been
successfully tested yet on Windows.
