With --fast, unavailable local remotes are filtered out of the fast set.
This way, if there are local remotes, --fast always acts only on them,
and if none are mounted, acts on nothing. This consistency is better
than --fast acting on different remotes depending on what's mounted.
Rsync is only run once, with include / exclude rules used to specify
exactly what to delete. This is faster, and avoids ugly error messages
from rsync, and doesn't fail if the content already got deleted somehow.
A crash on parsing was fixed a while ago. This adds support for fully
correctly parsing multiline git config values, using git config --null.
Since git-annex-shell configlist uses normal git config output, I left in
support for that too; the two forms of config output can be easily
identified by the parser. Since configlist only prints the annex.uuid
config, there's no risk of multiline values there, so no need to change it.
Needed due to this scenario: Bare repo origin is made, foo is cloned from it;
foo is initalized; a file is added to foo's annex; git annex move --to origin
Since the git-annex branch has not yet been pushed to origin, it doesn't
auto-initialize. When the content is sent to it, it's stored, but
the remote has NoUUID, and so nothing is logged in the location log.
Then the content is removed from the local repo, and git-annex has lost
track of it.
git annex fsck in origin will find the lost content, but let's not let this
happen. Content should only be sent to initalized remotes.
This cannot happen for non-local remotes, since git-annex-shell always
checks that the repo is initialized.
Directory special remotes will now always store keys in the lowercase name,
which avoids the complication of catching failures to create the mixed case
name.
Git remotes using http will now try the lowercase name first.
Supporting multiple directory hash types will allow converting to a
different one, without a flag day.
gitAnnexLocation now checks which of the possible locations have a file.
This means more statting of files. Several places currently use
gitAnnexLocation and immediately check if the returned file exists;
those need to be optimised.
This is actually tricky, 45bbf210a1 added
the escaping because it's needed for rsync that does go over ssh.
So I had to detect whether the remote's rsync url will use ssh or not,
and vary the escaping.
git-annex-shell inannex now returns always 0, 1, or 100 (the last when
it's unclear if content is currently in the index due to it currently being
moved or dropped).
(Actual locking code still not yet written.)
Many functions took the repo as their first parameter. Changing it
consistently to be the last parameter allows doing some useful things with
currying, that reduce boilerplate.
In particular, g <- gitRepo is almost never needed now, instead
use inRepo to run an IO action in the repo, and fromRepo to get
a value from the repo.
This also provides more opportunities to use monadic and applicative
combinators.
Avoid ever using read to parse a non-haskell formatted input string.
show :: Key is arguably still show abuse, but displaying Keys as filenames
is just too useful to give up.
Before the config was read each time onLocal was called, and entirely
redundantly since it's read for same-host remotes on startup.
Also a minor bug fix: When rsyncing to a same-host remote, use the
rsync-options from the repository that the user ran git-annex in, not those of
the receiving repository.
Specifically, disabled trying to update the git-annex branch on the remote,
since that data is never used by operations that act on such remotes.
Also, when copying content to such a remote, skip committing the presence
information changes to its git-annex branch. Leaving it in the journal there
is ok: Any command run on the remote that needs the info will flush the
journal.
This may partially solve this bug:

Although I still see unreaped git processes piling up when doing a copy --to.
