This is necessary for interop between inode caches created on unix and
windows. Which is more important than supporting inodecaches for large keys
with the wrong size, which are broken anyway.
There should be no slowdown from this change, except on Windows.
Avoid using fileSize which maxes out at just 2 gb on Windows.
Instead, use hFileSize, which doesn't have a bounded size.
Fixes support for files > 2 gb on Windows.
Note that the InodeCache code only needs to compare a file size,
so it doesn't matter it the file size wraps. So it has been
left as-is. This was necessary both to avoid invalidating existing inode
caches, and because the code passed FileStatus around and would have become
more expensive if it called getFileSize.

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 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.
This reverts commit dd667844b6

Those commits were fine, except the android autobuilder currently has a bit
of a mess of yesod versions and broke. Better to wait on this.
The new yesod needs the ViewPatterns extension.
Also, a TH splice in Assistant/Threads/WebApp.hs failed to work without
OverLoadedStrings.

Only use that when building with ancient yesod, which does not include it.
This also let me remove ifdefs in the file to support building with the new
version of yesod.
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
podcast.
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.

The crash came from calling Git.repoLocation, but it made sense to fix this
higher up, because there is nothing to edit about the web, it just is what
it is.
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.
Based on the example from the tip, but modified to cd into the repo before
running git-annex, since konqueror does not. Also, at least on my system,
the directory is ~/.kde, not ~/.kde4. (konqueror 4.12.4)

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.

Someone reported:
gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir `/var/folders/m6/zkd11n111m38ff37zbtgq0lr0000gp/T/git-annex-gpg.tmp.0'
Just a warning, but let's fix it anyway. Preumably the user has one of the
many insane and delightful umasks users sometimes use to shoot themselves
in their feet.
Yes, this means that git annex webapp on windows execs git-annex, which
execs itself to set env, and the execs itself again to redirect logs.
This is disgusting. This is Windows(TM).
When in direct mode, update the master branch after committing to the
annex/direct/master branch. Also, update the synced/master branch.
This fixes a topology A->B where both A and B are in direct mode and
running the assistant, and a change is made to B. Before this fix, A pulled
the changes from B, but since they were only on the annex/direct/master
branch, it did not merge them.
Note that I considered making the assistant merge the
remotes/B/annex/direct/master, but decided to keep it simple and only merge
the sync branches as before.
On Windows, changing the time zone causes the apparent mtime of files to
change. This confuses git-annex, which natually thinks this means the files
have actually been modified (since THAT'S WHAT A MTIME IS FOR, BILL <sheesh>).
Work around this stupidity, by using the inode sentinal file to detect if
the timezone has changed, and calculate a TSDelta, which will be applied
when generating InodeCaches.
This should add no overhead at all on unix. Indeed, I sped up a few
things slightly in the refactoring.
Seems to basically work! But it has a big known problem:
If the timezone changes while the assistant (or a long-running command)
runs, it won't notice, since it only checks the inode cache once, and
so will use the old delta for all new inode caches it generates for new
files it's added. Which will result in them seeming changed the next time
it runs.

This version of wai changed the type of Middleware, so I cannot seem
to liftIO inside it. So, got rid of a lot of not really needed
complexity to use System.Log.Logger's logging stuff, and just use
the standard wai stdout logger when debug logging is enabled.
Format may change some, and it logs http to stdout instead of stderr
now. Doesn't matter for the webapp since both go to the same log anyway.
This avoids a collision if different ssh ports are used on the same host
for some reason.
Note that it's ok to change the format of the mangled hostname; unmangling
only extracts the hostname from it, and once ssh is configured for a
mangled hostname, that config is not changed.
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.

When adding a repo from a removable drive that already exists, fetch
from it before showing the edit form, so it will have the existing
configuration of that repo.
This does mean that if the webapp is asked to add a git repository on
a removable drive that already exists, but is not yet a git-annex
repository, it will avoid putting it in any group. That unlikely edge case
is ok; the next step is the edit repository screen, which will show it's
not in any group and the user can pick one.
There was a tricky bit here, when it does combine, the edit form is shown,
and so the info needs to be committed to the new repository, but then
pulled into the current one. And caches need to be invalidated for it
to be visible in the edit form.
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!

Note that TransferInfo does not always contain the Remote, although
any transfer added to the TransferQueue does have a Remote in its
TransferInfo. The transferkeys command still accepts a UUID, which is
useful to handle upgrades, where an old assistant version runs the new
transferkeys.

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

This should fix the android build. The EvilSplicer cannot fix up ghc's
misformatting of a case expression with a construstor with a lot of
parameters, which spans multiple lines.
Note that this does not yet use SecureMem. It would probably make sense for
the Password part of a CredPair to use SecureMem, and making that change
is better than passing in a String and having it converted to SecureMem in
this code.
* webapp: Support using git-annex on a remote server, which was installed
from the standalone tarball or OSX app, and so does not have
git-annex in PATH (and may also not have git or rsync in PATH).
* standalone tarball, OSX app: Install a ~/.ssh/git-annex-wrapper, which
can be used to run git-annex, git, rsync, etc.
Only fsck and reinject and the test suite used the Backend, and they can
look it up as needed from the Key. This simplifies the code and also speeds
it up.
There is a small behavior change here. Before, all commands would warn when
acting on an annexed file with an unknown backend. Now, only fsck and
reinject show that warning.
This is a better approach to finding both when NM has lost a network

* Remote system might be available, and connection get lost. Should
reconnect, but needs to avoid bad behavior (ie, constant reconnect
attempts.) Use exponential backoff.
* Detect if old system had a too old git-annex-shell, and show the user
a nice message in the webapp. Required parsing error messages, so perhaps
this code shoudl be removed once enough time has passed..
* Switch the protocol to using remote URI's, rather than remote names.
Names change. Also avoids issues with serialization of names containing
whitespace.

git-annex-shell does not need a pty, so this speeds things up.
Also, it may avoid weird misconfigured systems that try to run screen or
tmux on every ssh login from doing so.
This is a new feature, it was not handled before, since it's a bit of an
edge case. However, it can be handled exactly the same as a file/dir
conflict, just leave the non-annexed item alone.
While implementing this, the core resolveMerge' function got a lot simpler
and clearer. Note especially that where before there was an asymetric call to
stagefromdirectmergedir, now graftin is called symmetrically in both cases.
And, in order to add that `graftin us`, the current branch needed to be
known (if there is no current branch, there cannot be a merge conflict).
This led to some cleanups of how autoMergeFrom behaved when there is no
current branch.

Trying to start in such a repo will, obviously, fail.
Note that assistant --autostart will try to start in such a repo, and fail,
but does start successfully in the other autostart repos.
This allows eg, putting .git/annex/tmp on a ram disk, if the disk IO
of temp object files is too annoying (and if you don't want to keep
partially transferred objects across reboots).
.git/annex/misctmp must be on the same filesystem as the git work tree,
since files are moved to there in a way that will not work cross-device,
as well as symlinked into there.
I first wanted to put the tmp objects in .git/annex/objects/tmp, but
that would pose transition problems on upgrade when partially transferred
objects existed.
git annex info does not currently show the size of .git/annex/misctemp,
since it should stay small. It would also be ok to make something clean it
out, periodically.
Removed instance, got it all to build using fromRef. (With a few things
that really need to show something using a ref for debugging stubbed out.)
Then added back Read instance, and made Logs.View use it for serialization.
This changes the view log format.
The ctrl-c hack used before didn't actually seem to work.
No haskell libraries expose TerminateProcess. I tried just calling it via
FFI, but got segfaults, probably to do with the wacky process handle not
being managed correctly. Moving it all into one C function worked.
This was hell. The EvilLinker hack was just final icing on the cake.
We all know what the cake was made of.
This is no longer necessary, at least with msysgit 1.8.5.2.msysgit.0.
Its root cause may have been fixed by other recent git path fixes.
It was causing the webapp to fail to make repos on other drives.
On Windows, a file that is not writable cannot be deleted even if in a
directory with write perms. So git object files were not getting deleted
when removing a git repository.
* sync --content: Honor annex-ignore configuration.
* sync: Don't try to sync with xmpp remotes, which are only currently
supported when using the assistant.
Several places assumed this would not happen, and when the AssociatedFile
was Nothing, did nothing.
As part of this, preferred content checks pass the Key around.
Note that checkMatcher is sometimes now called with Just Key and Just File.
It currently constructs a FileMatcher, ignoring the Key. However, if it
constructed a FileKeyMatcher, which contained both, then it might be
possible to speed up parts of Limit, which currently call the somewhat
expensive lookupFileKey to get the Key.
I have not made this optimisation yet, because I am not sure if the key is
always the same. Will need some significant checking to satisfy myself
that's the case..
Make sanity checker run git annex unused daily, and queue up transfers
of unused files to any remotes that will have them. The transfer retrying
code works for us here, so eg when a backup disk remote is plugged in,
any transfers to it are done. Once the unused files reach a remote,
they'll be removed locally as unwanted.
If the setup does not cause unused files to go to a remote, they'll pile
up, and the sanity checker detects this using some heuristics that are
pretty good -- 1000 unused files, or 10% of disk used by unused files,
or more disk wasted by unused files than is left free. Once it detects
this, it pops up an alert in the webapp, with a button to take action.
TODO: Webapp UI to configure this, and also the ability to launch an
immediate cleanup of all unused files.

* numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all
clones of a repository.
* The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies
command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies
git configs will be ignored.
* assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies.
This global numcopies setting is needed to let preferred content
expressions operate on numcopies.
It's also convenient, because typically if you want git-annex to preserve N
copies of files in a repo, you want it to do that no matter which repo it's
running in. Making it global avoids needing to warn the user about gotchas
involving inconsistent annex.numcopies settings.
(See changes to doc/numcopies.mdwn.)
Added a new variety of git-annex branch log file, that holds only 1 value.
Will probably be useful for other stuff later.

Similar to the assistant, this honors any configured preferred content
expressions.
I am not entirely happpy with the implementation. It would be nicer if
the seek function returned a list of actions which included the individual
file gets and copies and drops, rather than the current list of calls to
syncContent. This would allow getting rid of the somewhat reundant display
of "sync file [ok|failed]" after the get/put display.
But, do that, withFilesInGit would need to somehow be able to construct
such a mixed action list. And it would be less efficient than the current
implementation, which is able to reuse several values between eg get and
drop.
Note that currently this does not try to satisfy numcopies when
getting/putting files (numcopies are of course checked when dropping
files!) This makes it like the assistant, and unlike get --auto
and copy --auto, which do duplicate files when numcopies is not yet
satisfied. I don't know if this is the right decision; it only seemed to
make sense to have this parallel the assistant as far as possible to start
with, since I know the assistant works.

So that remotes that use a persistent network connection are restarted.
A remote might keep open a long duration network connection, and could
fail to deal well with losing the connection. This is particularly a
concern now that we have external special reotes. An external
special remote that is implemented naively might open the connection only
when PREPARE is sent, and if it loses connection, throw errors on each
request that is made.
(Note that the ssh connection caching should not have this problem; if the
long-duration ssh process loses connection, the named pipe is disconnected
and the next ssh attempt will reconnect. Also, XMPP already deals with
disconnection robustly in its own way.)
There's no way for git-annex to know if a lost network connection actually
affects a given remote, which might have a transfer in process. It does not
make sense to force kill the transferkeys process every time the NetWatcher
detects a change. (Especially because the NetWatcher sometimes polls 1
change per hour.)
In any case, the NetWatcher only detects connection to a network, not
disconnection. So if a transfer is in progress over the network, and the
network goes down, that will need to time out on its own.
An alternate approch that was considered is to use a separate transferkeys
process for each remote, and detect when a request fails, and assume that
means that process is in a failing state and restart it. The problem with
that approach is that if a resource is not available and a remote fails
every time, it degrades to starting a new transferkeys process for every
file transfer, which is too expensive.
Instead, this commit only handles the network reconnection case, and restarts
transferkeys only once the network has reconnected and another transfer needs
to be made. So, a transferkeys process will be reused for 1 hour, or until the
next network connection.
