As yet unused.
Backend.External could perhaps implement it too, although that would
involve sending chunks of data to it via a pipe or something, so likely
to be slow.
Note this does find things in PATH that are not executable.
Like searchPath use, the executable bit is not checked. Thing is,
there does not seem to be a binding for access(), which would be the
right way to check that the right execute bit is set. Anyway, if it's in
PATH and it's a file, it's probably fine to treat it as something that
was intended to be executable.

Fix an oddity in matching options and preferred content expressions such as
"foo (bar or baz)", which was incorrectly handled as if it were "(foo or
bar) and baz)" rather than the intended "foo and (bar or baz)"
Seemed like a change to consume should be able to handle this case
better, but I was having trouble writing it that way, so instead added
a separate pass that inserts the implicit ands explicitly. Also added
several test cases to make sure versions with and without explicit ands
generate the same.
Seems that dropDrive on windows only drops eg c:/ but not a leading /
while on linux, it does drop a leading / (which is what it considers
to be equivilant to a drive letter. I had been relying on it to drop
both. So need to drop leading directory separators.
Also, if the quickcheck generated input is eg "c:c:c:c:foo",
dropDrive will only drop the first one, leaving a path that's
still not relative. So instead of using dropDrive, just remove the
colons from the path.
Directory special remotes with importtree=yes now avoid unncessary overhead
when inodes of files have changed, as happens whenever a FAT filesystem
gets remounted.
A few unusual edge cases of modifications won't be detected and
imported. I think they're unusual enough not to be a concern. It would
be possible to add a config setting that controls whether to compare
inodes too, but does not seem worth bothering the user about currently.
I chose to continue to use the InodeCache serialization, just with the
inode zeroed. This way, if I later change my mind or make it
configurable, can parse it back to an InodeCache and operate on it. The
overhead of storing a 0 in the content identifier log seems worth it.
There is a one-time cost to this change; all directory special remotes
with importtree=yes will re-hash all files once, and will update the
content identifier logs with zeroed inodes.

It was just slapping on a path separator to the front of the path to
make it absolute, but on windows, a path like "//foo/bar" actually
has a network "drive" of "//foo" and so that broke the test case.
Since "a:foo" is a somehow relative path on windows
(who knows how), drop any drive from the input. But dropDrive also drops
any leading path separator, making the input path relative. So now
it should be safe to slapp on a leading path separator.
Useful for eg, replicating failures in ghci. No need for this to be a
smart constructor, as long as it's used with valid filepaths, it's ok
and if not the test breaks.
This was not a good test, it broke the requirement that
relPathDirToFileAbs take absolute paths. And it failed when the two
input paths were eg, the same but differently normalized.
Replaced with some tests of the real basics of that function.
And vice-versa, but it's better to use '/' for portability.
Notably, standardPreferredContent contains "archive/*" and that might not
match if the filename ends up coming in with the slashes the other way
around.
Adding new instance for Integer, and some parsers for more parameters.
The conversion of readish to readMaybe is done because a serialized
exit code cannot contain additional text after the number.
New config annex.stalldetection, remote.name.annex-stalldetection, which
can be used to deal with remotes that stall during transfers, or are
sometimes too slow to want to use.

This old code will now be useful for git-annex beyond the assistant.
git-annex won't use the CheckTransferrer part, and won't run transferkeys
as a batch process, and will want withTransferrer to not shut down
transferkeys processes. Still, the rest of this is a good fit for what I
need now.
Also removed some dead code, and simplified a little bit.

This is an edge case, which happened to be triggered by the P2P protocol
seeing DATA 0. When reading 0 bytes, getting an empty string does
not mean the handle has reached EOF.
I verified there was in fact a bug, where get of an empty file followed
by another file would get the empty file and then fail
with "handle is closed". This fixes it.

import System.PosixCompat.Files hiding removeLink
This commit was sponsored by Ethan Aubin.
It does use it on both stdout and stderr. It seems unlikely the problem
could really affect stdout, but the unix implementation of it combines
both into a single handle in any case.
It had lost the hAcceptEncoding header that is set as part of the
overriding of http-client's default decompression of compressed files.
Seems likely that would have caused resuming of compressed files to fail
in some cases.

Fix a bug that could make resuming a download from the web fail when the

What a mess that Request can throw exceptions or not, depending on how
it's configured. Makes it very hard if you need to handle some specific
http status codes in a function like this! Implementing everything two
ways did not seem appealing, if possible at all, so I decided to
override the Request if it did come configured to throw exception on
non-2xx http status. Other exceptions, like from http-client-restricted,
or due to a redirect to a non-http url, still get thrown.

This removeLink was introduced in commit
e505c03bcc, which replaced code
that used removeFile on Windows. So, I know git-annex did not used to do
anything other than removeFile on Windows. If there were symlinks it
wanted to remove, this would not work on windows, but of course it does
not use symlinks on windows.
Unfortunately, there is no hGetNewLineMode. This seems like an oversight
that should be fixed in ghc, but for now, I paper over it with a windows
hack.
The problem with the old version seemed to be that hWaitForInput blocks
rather than timing out when being run concurrently with hGetLine on the
same handle.
This passes the bench test, and also works when run concurrently on
different handles.
This seems to show that hWaitForInput does not seem to behave as
documented. It does not time out, so blocks forever in this situation.
This is with a 0 timeout and with larger timeouts. Unsure why, it looked
like it should work.
All properties changed to use them, except for
prop_encode_c_decode_c_roundtrip, which already filtered to ascii
for other reasons.
A few modules had to be split out, because Setup does not build-depend
on QuickCheck.
instance Arbitrary [Char] allows that, and it's not a legal part of a
filename so can break processing them.
Noticed when prop_view_roundtrips failed.
The instance Arbitrary AssociatedFile avoids this problem.

Mostly mechanical.
Changes of note:
* upFrom now uses isPathSeparator, which is better on Windows where
there is not just one
* splitShortExtensions used to take the length of a string,
which would count wide unicode characters as a single character.
Changing to B.length changes that. Note that, git-annex's
annexMaxExtensionLength already changed to the length in bytes
before this change. This function is only used in generating views,
and the small behavior change should not be a problem.
* relHome still uses FilePath because it didn't seem worth changing(?)

The problem was this line:
cleanup = and <$> sequence (map snd v)
That caused all of v to be held onto until the end, when the cleanup action
was run.
I could not seem to find a bang pattern that avoided the leak, so I
resorted to a IORef, rather clunky, but not a performance problem because
it will only be written once per git ls-files, so typically just 1 time.

This was the last one marked as a zombie. There might be others I don't

getPid returns Nothing if the process has already been stopped, and in that
case, the pid will not be displayed. I think that would only happen if
waitForProcess or similar gets called more than once on the same process
handle though.
getPid on unix has an overhead of only a MVar read. On Windows it needs to
make a syscall, so will be probably more expensive. While the added expense
happens even when debug logging is disabled, it should be small enough
compared with the overhead of starting a process that it's not a problem.
(It does occur to me that a debugM that took an IO String could only run it
when debugging is really enabled, which would improve performance. It does
not seem possible to use the current hslogger interface to do that though;
it does not expose the information that would be needed.)
No behavior changes (hopefully), just adding SeekInput and plumbing it
through to the JSON display code for later use.
Over the course of 2 grueling days.
withFilesNotInGit reimplemented in terms of seekHelper
should be the only possible behavior change. It seems to test as
behaving the same.
Note that seekHelper dummies up the SeekInput in the case where
segmentPaths' gives up on sorting the expanded paths because there are
too many input paths. When SeekInput later gets exposed as a json field,
that will result in it being a little bit wrong in the case where
100 or more paths are passed to a git-annex command. I think this is a
subtle enough problem to not matter. If it does turn out to be a
problem, fixing it would require splitting up the input
parameters into groups of < 100, which would make git ls-files run
perhaps more than is necessary. May want to revisit this, because that
fix seems fairly low-impact.
Potentially fixes https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/concurrent_git-annex-copy_to_s3_special_remote_fails/
although I don't know if it does.
My thinking is, ResourceT may allocate a resource and then free it,
and a unforced thunk to that resource could result in reading memory
that has since been overwritten by something else, or in a SEGV,
depending. While that seems kind of like a bug in ResourceT to me, if it
is what's happening, this will avoid it. If it's not, this doesn't
really hurt much since the values are all smallish.

That made Utility.FileMode depend on unix, but Utility.Tmp now depends
on it, and is used by Setup, which does not. So it was easiest to remove
this, especially since it's not used.
Fixed several cases where files were created without file mode bits that
the umask would usually set. This included exports to the directory special
remote, torrent files used by the bittorrent special remote, hooks written
by git-annex init, and some log files in .git/annex/
Audited all calls, looking for ones that didn't want the umask bits to be
set. All such turned out to already set the specific restrictive file mode
they wanted.
Also audited for other calls to openTempFile, and all are ok,
except for viaTmp which will need further work.
Remote.Directory fixed to set umask mode when writing to an export,
although it has another one using viaTmp that's not fixed.
Will make exports that are published via a http server running as
another user work, for example.
Remote.BitTorrent fixed to set umask mode when downloading the torrent
file. Normally this does not matter as that file does not hang around
after the download, but if a bittorrent download were started by one user,
got interrupted and then another user ran it, this will let them access
the torrent file created by the first user.
Also tested what happens if the other special remote has importtree=yes
and exporttree=yes, and in that case, download via httpalso works too,
without needing to implement any importtree methods here.
It might be possible to make it automatically set exporttree=yes if the
--sameas does. Didn't try, will probably be layering issues.
Or perhaps it should be inherited by sameas like some
other configs? But then, wouldn't it also make sense to inherit
importree=yes? But as shown here, it's not needed by this kind of
remote.
They normally shutdown when the GNUPGHOME directory is deleted, but on
NFS they keep the directory from being deleted. And also, this avoids
a number of them piling up while the test suite is running.
Fixes reversion in 8.20200617 that made annex.pidlock being enabled result
in some commands stalling, particularly those needing to autoinit.
Renamed runsGitAnnexChildProcess to make clearer where it should be
used.
Arguably, it would be better to have a way to make any process git-annex
runs have the env var set. But then it would need to take the pid lock
when running any and all processes, and that would be a problem when
git-annex runs two processes concurrently. So, I'm left doing it ad-hoc
in places where git-annex really does run a child process, directly
or indirectly via a particular git command.
This probably avoids the situation that caused the exception to be
thrown. It also makes sure that both threads end up canceled in the end,
while before the exception from wait outt could have caused errt to
never be waited on.
Since there's a race here, and since Kyle saw an exception leak out,
which I have not been able to reproduce that. See my comment for what
I think might be going on.
Note that, I used tryNonAsync, because it seems a later tryNonAsync
caught the exception. I don't actually understand how it did, as I
understand exception classification, it's the data type, not the way it
was thrown. One possibility is that the async exception may have been wrapped
in some other, non-async exception, and Show displayed it the same way.
Reduce the number of directories listed in libdirs, which makes the linker
check a lot less dead ends looking for directories.
Eliminated some directories that didn't really contain shared libraries,
or only contained the linker.
That left only 2, one in lib and one in usr/lib, so consolidate those two.
Doing it this way, rather than just consolidating all libs that might exist
into a single directory means that, if there are optimised versions of some
libs, eg in lib/subarch/foo.so, and lib/subarch2/foo.so, they don't get
moved around in a way that would make the linker pick the wrong one.
This is only implemented for git-annex get so far. It makes git-annex
get nearly twice as fast in a repo with 10k files, all of them present!
But, see the TODO for some caveats.
Turns out the %(rest) trick was not needed. Instead, just maintain a
list of files we've asked for, and each cat-file response is for the
next file in the list.
This actually benchmarks 25% faster than before! Very surprising, but it
must be due to needing to shove less data through the pipe, and parse
less.
Otherwise use the vendored copy as before.
The library is in Debian testing but not stable. Once it reaches

Network.HTTP.Client exports makeConnection since 0.5.3.
Debian stable has a newer version than 0.5.3, so bumping the

That made eg git-annex get of an unlocked file hang until the
annex.pidlocktimeout and then fail.
This fix should be fully thread safe no matter what else git-annex is
doing.
Only using runsGitAnnexChildProcess in the one place it's known to be a
problem. Could audit for all places where git-annex runs itself as a child
and add it to all of them, later.
Some recent changes to use mask missed that async exceptions can still
be thrown inside it. The goal is to make sure a block of cleanup code
runs entirely, w/o being interrupted by an async exception, so use
uninterruptibleMask.
Also, converted a few to bracket, which is nicer.
Tested the forcerestart code path and it works.
The hairy part is, what if an async exception is caught when it's in
restart?
If it's in the part that stops the old process, the old process
is left in the handle. The next attempt to use the CoProcessHandle
will then throw an IO exception, which will result in restart getting
run again. So I think this will work, but have not actually tested it.
The use of withMVarMasked lets it start the new process and fill the
mvar with it, even if there's an async exception at that point.
Note that exceptions are masked while running forcerestart, so
do not need to worry about an async exception being thrown while it's
recovering from an async exception.
Audited for openFile and openFd, and this fixes all the ones I found
where an async exception could prevent the file getting closed.
Except for the lock pool, which is a whole other can of worms.
Remove old code that can be trivially implemented using async in a much
nicer way (that is async exception safe).
I've audited all forkOS calls (except for ones in the assistant),
and this was the last remaining one that is not async exception safe.
The rest look ok to me.
This handles all createProcessSuccess callers, and aside from process
pools, the complete conversion of all process running to async exception
safety should be complete now.
Also, was able to remove from Utility.Process the old API that I now
know was not a good idea. And proof it was bad: The code size went *down*,
despite there being a fair bit of boilerplate for some future API to
reduce.
This handles all sites where checkSuccessProcess/ignoreFailureProcess
is used, except for one: Git.Command.pipeReadLazy
That one will be significantly more work to convert to bracketing.
(Also skipped Command.Assistant.autoStart, but it does not need to
shut down the processes it started on exception because they are
git-annex assistant daemons..)
forceSuccessProcess is done, except for createProcessSuccess.
All call sites of createProcessSuccess will need to be converted
to bracketing.
(process pools still todo also)
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.
Makes it stop the command if the consumer gets killed.
Also, it seems that the old version expected bracketOnError to return
the False from the error handler, but it does not, it would have thrown
the exception and ignored the False. That's fixed, it will now return
False when there is an exception.
This was a pre-withCreateProcess attempt at doing the same thing, so can
just call boolSystem now that it uses withCreateProcess.
There's a slight behavior change, since it used to wait, after an async
exception, for the command to finish, before re-throwing the exception.
Now, it rethrows the exception right away. I don't think that impact any
of the users of this.
This relicates git's behavior. It adds a few stat calls for the command
line parameters, so there is some minor slowdown, but even with thousands
of parameters it will not be very noticable, and git does the same statting
in similar circumstances.
Note that this does not prevent eg "git annex add symlink"; the symlink
will be added to git as usual. And "git annex find symlink" will silently
list nothing as well. It's only "symlink/foo" or "subdir/symlink/foo" that
triggers the warning.
* addurl --preserve-filename: New option, uses server-provided filename
without any sanitization, but with some security checking.
Not yet implemented for remotes other than the web.
* addurl, importfeed: Avoid adding filenames with leading '.', instead
it will be replaced with '_'.
This might be considered a security fix, but a CVE seems unwattanted.
It was possible for addurl to create a dotfile, which could change
behavior of some program. It was also possible for a web server to say
the file name was ".git" or "foo/.git". That would not overrwrite the
.git directory, but would cause addurl to fail; of course git won't
add "foo/.git".
sanitizeFilePath is too opinionated to remain in Utility, so moved it.
The changes to mkSafeFilePath are because it used sanitizeFilePath.
In particular:
isDrive will never succeed, because "c:" gets munged to "c_"
".." gets sanitized now
".git" gets sanitized now
It will never be null, because sanitizeFilePath keeps the length
the same, and splitDirectories never returns a null path.
Also, on the off chance a web server suggests a filename of "",
ignore that, rather than trying to save to such a filename, which would
fail in some way.
Due to eg, too long a path to the agent socket, caused by running gpg in a
container where /run is not mounted, and/or some other gpg behavior like
unnecessarily making relative paths to its home directory absolute.
addurl: When run with --fast on an url that
annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses prevents accessing, display a more
useful message.
(Also importfeed --fast potentially.)
Limited to min of -JN or number of CPU cores, because it will often be
CPU bound, once it's read the gitignore file for a directory.
In some situations it's more disk bound, but in any case it's unlikely
to be the main bottleneck that -J is used to avoid. Eg, when dropping,
this is used for numcopies checks, but the main bottleneck will be
accessing the remotes to verify presence. So the user might decide to
-J32 that, but having 32 check-attr processes would just waste however
many filehandles they open, and probably worsen their performance due to
CPU contention.
Note that, I first tried just letting up to the -JN be started. However,
even when it's no bottleneck at all, that still results in all of them
being started. Why? Well, all the worker threads start up nearly
simulantaneously, so there's a thundering herd..
Avoid running a large number of git cat-file child processes when run with
a large -J value.
This implementation takes care to avoid adding any overhead to git-annex
when run without -J. When run with -J, there is a small bit of added
overhead, to manipulate the resource pool. That optimisation added a
fair bit of complexity.
Attoparsec parser for diff-tree.
Changed fromRef back to producing a String, to avoid needing to convert
every use of it. However, this does mean I'm going to miss some
opportunities where fromRef is used and the result converted back to a
ByteString. Would be worth revisiting that at some point maybe.
It will create foo/.git/annex/, but not foo/.git/ and not foo/.
This will avoid it creating an empty path to a repo when a drive is
yanked out and the mount point goes away, for example.
Noticed that it gets the CWD unncessarily when the path is absolute.
I have not benchmarked this, but I guess that the small overhead of
isAbsolute is so tiny compared to the system call that it's worth
it even if most of the time relative paths are passed to absPath.
The 'fail' method has been moved to the 'MonadFail' class. I made the changes
so that the code still compiles with previous versions of 'base' that don't
have the new MonadFail class exported by Prelude yet.
If git-credential has it cached and does not prompt, this will
unfortunately result in a brief flicker, as the displayed console
regions are hidden while running it and then re-displayed. Better than a
corrupted display.
Actually, I tried it and don't see a visible flicker, so probably only
over a slow ssh will it be apparent.
using git credential to get the password
One thing this doesn't do is wrap the password prompting inside the prompt
action. So with -J, the output can be a bit garbled.
prop_encode_decode_roundtrip failed on "\175" in C locale.
This may be a new problem after the switch to RawFilePath, but it
already had filtering for high chars, so changed to only test ascii
chars.
eg, `git-annex get . ..` used to order the files strangly, because it
did not realize that when git ls-files output eg "foo", that should be
grouped with the first set of files and not the second set.
Fixed by making dirContains "." "./foo" = True
which makes sense, because dirContains ".." "../foo" = True
the encode' and decode' functions on Windows should not apply the
filesystem encoding, which does not work there. Instead, convert to and
from UTF-8.
Also, avoid exporting encodeW8 and decodeW8. Both use the filesystem
encoding, so won't work as expected on windows.
git-annex find is now RawFilePath end to end, no string conversions.
So is git-annex get when it does not need to get anything.
So this is a major milestone on optimisation.
Benchmarks indicate around 30% speedup in both commands.
Probably many other performance improvements. All or nearly all places
where a file is statted use RawFilePath now.
Since the sqlite branch uses blobs extensively, there are some
performance benefits, ByteStrings now get stored and retrieved w/o
conversion in some cases like in Database.Export.
Only done on those calls to getFileStatus that had a RawFilePath, not a
FilePath. The others would probably be just as fast if converted to use
it with toRawFilePath, but I'm not 100% sure.
Note that genInodeCache' uses fromRawFilePath, but that value only gets
used on Windows, so on unix the thunk will never be evaluated.
File mode is octal not decimal. This broke in the conversion to
attoparsec.
(I've submitted the content of Utility.Attoparsec to the attoparsec
developers.)
Test suite passes 100% now.
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.
Goal is to make git-annex faster by using ByteString for all the
worktree traversal. For now, this is focusing on Command.Find,
in order to benchmark how much it helps. (All other commands are
temporarily disabled)
Currently in a very bad unbuildable in-between state.
This will speed up the common case where a Key is deserialized from
disk, but is then serialized to build eg, the path to the annex object.
Previously attempted in 4536c93bb2
and reverted in 96aba8eff7.
The problems mentioned in the latter commit are addressed now:
Read/Show of KeyData is backwards-compatible with Read/Show of Key from before
this change, so Types.Distribution will keep working.
The Eq instance is fixed.
Also, Key has smart constructors, avoiding needing to remember to update
the cached serialization.
Used git-annex benchmark:
find is 7% faster
whereis is 3% faster
get when all files are already present is 5% faster
Generally, the benchmarks are running 0.1 seconds faster per 2000 files,
on a ram disk in my laptop.
Used to work but was broken in version 7.20181031, specifically commit
5ab0f48ffb.
That this was not noticed over at least 1 daylight savings time zone
changes makes me wonder if the TSDelta stuff is still needed.
Perhaps the mtime on Windows no longer changes when the time zone is changed?
(cherry picked from commit 09ee6b0ccb)
Eliminated some dead code. In other cases, exported a currently unused
function, since it was a logical part of the API.
Of course this improves the API documentation. It may also sometimes
let ghc optimize code better, since it can know a function is internal
to a module.
364 modules still to go, according to
git grep -E 'module [A-Za-z.]+ where'
Convert Utility.Url to return Either String so the error message can be
displated in the annex monad and so captured.
(When curl is used, its errors are still not caught.)

The only good thing about it is it does not require a major version bump
to improve the database. That will need to happen at some point though.
Potentially very very slow in a large repository.
Ugly use of raw sql.
gksu is no longer in debian, even stable
kdesu in debian is not installed in PATH any longer, though the executable
is still present under /usr/lib
pkexec is packagekit's replacement for those older commands.
