When a file is changed in direct mode, the old content is probably lost
(at least from the local repo), and bookeeping needs to be updated to
reflect this.
Also, synthetic add events are generated at assistant startup, so
make it detect when the file has not really changed, and avoid re-adding
it.
This does add the overhead of querying the runing git cat-file for the
key that's recorded in git for the file, each time a file is added or
modified in direct mode.
git add --update cannot be used, because it'll stage typechanged direct
mode files. Intead, use ls-files to find deleted files, and stage them
ourselves.
It seems that no commit was made before when the scan staged deleted files.
(Probably masked since if files were added, a commit happened then..)
Now that I'm doing the staging, I was also able to fix that bug.
This allows it to use Build.SysConfig to always install the programs
configure detected. Amoung other fixes, this ensures the right uuid
generator and checksum programs are installed.
I also cleaned up the handling of lsof's path; configure now checks for
it in PATH, but falls back to looking for it in sbin directories.
* get/copy --auto: Transfer data even if it would exceed numcopies,
when preferred content settings want it.
* drop --auto: Fix dropping content when there are no preferred content
settings.
It was doubly broken; both missing a slash, and containing
"runshell git-annex", while some parts of the code expected it to be a
simple path to a program. This appears to include the transfer queue
runner, and the code that starts a new assistant process when switching to
another repository in the webapp.
For no apparent reason, this version removes all useful instances of
ToJavaScript, leavind behind only an instance for Aeson.Value. Argh. Pissed
off at this arbitrary breaking change, and seriously considering dropping
this library.
