Continue using the key name as bup ref name, to preserve backwards
compatability, unless it is an illegal git ref. In that case, use a sha256
of the key name instead.
getConfig got a remote-specific config, and this confusing name caused it
to be used a couple of places that only were interested in global configs.
Rename to getRemoteConfig and make getConfig only get global configs.
There are no behavior changes here, but remote.<name>.annex-web-options
never actually worked (and per-remote web options is a very unlikely to be
useful case so I didn't make it work), so fix the documentation for it.
openSUSE patches rsync with a patch adding SIP protocol support.
https://gist.github.com/2026167
With this patch, running rsync with no hostname parameter is apparently
supposed to list SIP hosts on the network. Practically, it does nothing
and exits 0.
git-annex uses rsync in a very special way to allow git-annex-shell to be
run on the remote host, and so did not need to specify a hostname, or a
file to transfer as a rsync parameter. So it sent ":", a degenerate case of
"host:file".
But the patch cannot differentiate ":" with no host parameter
(a bug in the SIP patch surely).
Results were that getting files failed, as rsync seemed to succeed, but the
requested file failed to arrive. Also I think that sending files will
make git-annex think a file has been transferred to the remote when
really rsync does nothing.
The workaround for this buggy rsync patch is to use "dummy:" as the
hostname.
Locking is used, so that, if there are multiple git-annex processes
using a remote concurrently, the stop hook is only run by the last
process that uses it.
That was actually really easy. But, when getting a file from an encrypted
directory special remote, no meter can be shown, because the total file
size is not known.
Avoiding writing files larger than a specified size is useful on certian
things. For example, box.com has a file size limit of 100 mb. Could also
be useful on really crappy removable media.
Added Annex.cleanup, which is a general purpose interface for adding
actions to run at the end.
Remotes with the old git-annex-shell will commit every time, and have no
commit command, so hide stderr when running the commit command.
Now gitattributes are looked up, efficiently, in only the places that
really need them, using the same approach used for cat-file.
The old CheckAttr code seemed very fragile, in the way it streamed files
through git check-attr.
I actually found that cad8824852
was still deadlocking with ghc 7.4, at the end of adding a lot of files.
This should fix that problem, and avoid future ones.
The best part is that this removes withAttrFilesInGit and withNumCopies,
which were complicated Seek methods, as well as simplfying the types
for several other Seek methods that had a Backend tupled in.
If there's no Content-Length, or the key has no size, this check is not
done, but it should happen most of the time, and protect against web
content that has changed.
Done by adding a oneshot mode, in which location log changes are written to
the journal, but not committed. Taking advantage of git-annex's existing
ability to recover in this situation.
This is used by git-annex-shell and other places where changes are made to
a remote's location log.
This reverts commit 6da40100c9.
On closer examinaton, this change is wrong. The bup special remote
can be configured with "buprepo=", which makes it use the default
~/.bup repo. This change makes it use a different temp dir each time,
which I'm sure would not be appreciated by anyone with that
configuration.
Bup insisting in creating ~/.bup even when using a different repo
does seem like a bug in *something*, but I'm leaning toward the bug
being in bup itself.
This drops the >>! and >>? with the nice low fixity. IfElse does have
undocumented >>=>>! and >>=>>? operators, but I deem that too fishy.
Anyway, using whenM and unlessM is easier; I sometimes mixed the operators
up.
Ssh connection caching is now enabled automatically by git-annex. Only one
ssh connection is made to each host per git-annex run, which can speed some
things up a lot, as well as avoiding repeated password prompts. Concurrent
git-annex processes also share ssh connections. Cached ssh connections are
shut down when git-annex exits.
Note: The rsync special remote does not yet participate in the ssh
connection caching.
For a local git remote, can symlink the file.
For a git remote using rsync, can preseed any local content.
There are a few reasons to use fsck --from on a normal git remote.
One is if it's using gitosis or similar, and you don't have shell access
to run git annex locally. Another reason could be if you just want to
fsck certian files of a bare remote.
When moving a file to the remote failed, and partially transferred content
was left behind in the directory, re-running the same move would think it
succeeded and delete the local copy.
I reproduced data loss when moving files to a partition that was almost
full. Interrupting a transfer could have similar results.
Easily fixed by using a temp file which is then moved atomically into place
once the transfer completes.
I've audited other calls to copyFileExternal, and other special remote
file transfer code; everything else seems to use temp files correctly
(rsync, git), or otherwise use atomic transfers (bup, S3).
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:
http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/fails_to_handle_lot_of_files/
Although I still see unreaped git processes piling up when doing a copy --to.
Only one place need to filter the list of remotes for ignored remotes:
keyPossibilities. Make the full list available to everything else.
This allows getting rid of the special case handing for --from and --to
to make ignored remotes not be ignored with those options.
