The assistant's commit code also always avoids git commit, for simplicity.
Indirect mode sync still does a git commit -a to catch unstaged changes.
Note that this means that direct mode sync no longer runs the pre-commit
hook or any other hooks git commit might call. The git annex pre-commit
hook action for direct mode is however explicitly run. (The assistant
already ran git commit with hooks disabled, so no change there.)
Option parsing for commands that run outside git repos is still screwy,
as there is no Annex monad and so the flags cannot be passed in. But,
any remaining parameters can be, which is enough for this fix.
Because that allowed writing to symlinks of files that are not present,
which followed the link and put bad content in an object location.
fsck: Fix up .git/annex/object directory permissions.

Complicated by such repositories potentially being repos that should have
an annex.uuid, but it failed to be gotten, perhaps due to the past ssh repo
setup bugs. This is handled now by an Upgrade Repository button.
Adding the file moved it to the annex, and then tried to set the mode.
Error unwind then moved the file back, and so the watcher saw the file get
deleted and then added back, and so tried again..
This works for both direct and indirect mode.
It may need some performance tuning.
Note that unlike git status, it only shows the status of the work tree, not
the status of the index. So only one status letter, not two .. and since
files that have been added and not yet committed do not differ between the
work tree and the index, they are not shown. Might want to add display of
the index vs the last commit eventually.

Now that direct mode sets core.bare=true, git's normal prohibition about
pushing into the currently checked out branch doesn't work.
A simple fix for this would be an update hook which blocks the pushes..
but git hooks must be executable, and git-annex needs to be usable on eg,
FAT, which lacks x bits.
Instead, enabling direct mode switches the branch (eg master) to a special
purpose branch (eg annex/direct/master). This branch is not pushed when
syncing; instead any changes that git annex sync commits get written to
master, and it's pushed (along with synced/master) to the remote.
Note that initialization has been changed to always call setDirect,
even if it's just setDirect False for indirect mode. This is needed because
if the user has just cloned a direct mode repo, that nothing has synced
with before, it may have no master branch, and only a annex/direct/master.
Resulting in that branch being checked out locally too. Calling setDirect False
for indirect mode moves back out of this branch, to a new master branch,
and ensures that a manual "git push" doesn't push changes directly to
the annex/direct/master of the remote. (It's possible that the user
makes a commit w/o using git-annex and pushes it, but nothing I can do
about that really.)

Copies files out of the annex. This avoids an unannex of one file breaking
other files that link to the same content. Also, it means that the content
remains in the annex using up space until cleaned up with "git annex
unused".
(The behavior of unannex --fast has not changed; it still hard
links to content in the annex. --fast was not made the default because it
is potentially unsafe; editing such a hard linked file can unexpectedly
change content stored in the annex.)
This used to work, but now hsc2hs is failing with a usage message.
Since I have not changed my windows build environment at all, it must be
some change due to a change in the cabal file. Perhaps too make flags are
causing it to hit a windows command line length limit?
Anyway, these hsc files did nothing on Windows, so can be omitted and not
built to work around yet another epic windows weirdness.
This actually fixes a bug; if pre-commit was run in a subdir, it would pass
relative files when updating the associated file maps, and so the maps
wouldn't update.
I don't think this bug happened in practice, due to the way pre-commit is
called by the hook. It happened to chdir to the top of the work tree.
Note that this case is only fully automatically resolved in direct mode.
In indirect mode, git merge moves the file to file~HEAD, and replaces it
with the directory, and leaves the file in unmerged state, and sync doesn't
yet change that.
addurl: Improve message when adding url with wrong size to existing file.
Before the message suggested the url didn't exist.
Fixed handling of URL keys that have no recorded size. Before, if the key
has no size, the url also had to not declare any size, which was unlikely
and wrong, or it was taken to not exist. This probably would mostly affect
keys that were added to the annex with addurl --relaxed.
Thought was that this would be faster than a map, since a vector can be
updated more efficiently. It turns out to not seem to matter; runtime and
memory usage are basically identical.
recvkey was told it was receiving a HMAC key from a direct mode repo,
and that confused it into rejecting the transfer, since it has no way to
verify a key using that backend, since there is no HMAC backend.
I considered making recvkey skip verification in the case of an unknown
backend. However, that could lead to bad results; a key can legitimately be
in the annex with a backend that the remote git-annex-shell doesn't know
about. Better to keep it rejecting if it cannot verify.
Instead, made the gcrypt special remote not set the direct mode flag when
sending (and receiving) files.
Also, added some recvkey messages when its checks fail, since otherwise
all that is shown is a confusing error message from rsync when the remote
git-annex-shell exits nonzero.
Overridable with --user-agent option.
Not yet done for S3 or WebDAV due to limitations of libraries used --

Done using a mode witness, which ensures it's fixed everywhere.
Fixing catFileKey was a bear, because git cat-file does not provide a
nice way to query for the mode of a file and there is no other efficient
way to do it. Oh, for libgit2..
Note that I am looking at tree objects from HEAD, rather than the index.
Because I cat-file cannot show a tree object for the index.
So this fix is technically incomplete. The only cases where it matters
are:
1. A new large file has been directly staged in git, but not committed.
2. A file that was committed to HEAD as a symlink has been staged
directly in the index.
This could be fixed a lot better using libgit2.
Note that it would be possible to extend the display to show all
repositories. But there can be a lot of repositories that are not set up as
remotes, and it would significantly clutter the display to show them all.
Since we're not showing all repositories, it's not worth trying to show
numcopies count either.
I decided to embrace these limitations and call the command remotes.
This is a git-remote-gcrypt encrypted special remote. Only sending files
in to the remote works, and only for local repositories.
Most of the work so far has involved making initremote work. A particular
problem is that remote setup in this case needs to generate its own uuid,
derivied from the gcrypt-id. That required some larger changes in the code
to support.
For ssh remotes, this will probably just reuse Remote.Rsync's code, so
should be easy enough. And for downloading from a web remote, I will need
to factor out the part of Remote.Git that does that.
One particular thing that will need work is supporting hot-swapping a local
gcrypt remote. I think it needs to store the gcrypt-id in the git config of the
local remote, so that it can check it every time, and compare with the
cached annex-uuid for the remote. If there is a mismatch, it can change
both the cached annex-uuid and the gcrypt-id. That should work, and I laid
some groundwork for it by already reading the remote's config when it's
local. (Also needed for other reasons.)

The second commit had some bad refs which resulted in the race detection
code running. But that commit was unnecessary anyway, it only was there to
merge in the other refs.
Wrote nice pure transition calculator, and ugly code to stage its results
into the git-annex branch. Also had to split up several Log modules
that Annex.Branch needed to use, but that themselves used Annex.Branch.
The transition calculator is limited to looking at and changing one file at
a time. While this made the implementation relatively easy, it precludes
transitions that do stuff like deleting old url log files for keys that are
being removed because they are no longer present anywhere.
Having one module that knows about all the filenames used on the branch
allows working back from an arbitrary filename to enough information about
it to implement dropping dead remotes and doing other log file compacting
as part of a forget transition.
Works, more or less. --dead is not implemented, and so far a new branch
is made, but keys no longer present anywhere are not scrubbed.
git annex sync fails to push the synced/git-annex branch after a forget,
because it's not a fast-forward of the existing synced branch. Could be
fixed by making git-annex sync use assistant-style sync branches.
The reversion was that, if a file was git rm'd, but still in branches, it
would not be seen as used. Looking at both the added and the removed (or
changed) files from the diff-index is a cheap way to fix that.
Instead of populating the second-level Bloom filter with every key
referenced in every Git reference, consider only those which differ
from what's referenced in the index.
Incidentaly, unlike with its old behavior, staged
modifications/deletion/... will now be detected by 'unused'.
Credits to joeyh for the algorithm. :-)
When quvi is installed, git-annex addurl automatically uses it to detect
when an page is a video, and downloads the video file.
web special remote: Also support using quvi, for getting files,
or checking if files exist in the web.

This is a simple approach for setting up a mirroring repository.
It will work with any type of remotes.
Mirror --from is more expensive than mirror --to in general.
OTOH, mirror --from will get the file from any remote that has it, not only
the named mirror remote. And if the named mirror remote is not the fastest
available remote with a file, that can speed things up.
It would be possible to make the assistant or watch command do a more
dynamic mirroring, that didn't need to scan every time.
Note that --deduplicate currently checksums each file twice,
once to see if it's a known key, and once when importing it.
Perhaps this could be revisited and the extra checksum gotten rid of,
at the cost of not locking down the file when adding it.
Started with a problem when running addurl on a really long url,
because the whole url is munged into the filename. Ended up doing
a fairly extensive review for places where filenames could get too large,
although it's hard to say I'm not missed any..
Backend.Url had a 128 character limit, which is fine when the limit is 255,
but not if it's a lot shorter on some systems. So check the pathconf()
limit. Note that this could result in fromUrl creating different keys
for the same url, if run on systems with different limits. I don't see
this is likely to cause any problems. That can already happen when using
addurl --fast, or if the content of an url changes.
Both Command.AddUrl and Backend.Url assumed that urls don't contain a
lot of multi-byte unicode, and would fail to truncate an url that did
properly.
A few places use a filename as the template to make a temp file.
While that's nice in that the temp file name can be easily related back to
the original filename, it could lead to `git annex add` failing to add a
filename that was at or close to the maximum length.
Note that in Command.Add.lockdown, the template is still derived from the
filename, just with enough space left to turn it into a temp file.
This is an important optimisation, because the assistant may lock down
a bunch of files all at once, and using the same template for all of them
would cause openTempFile to iterate through the same set of names,
looking for an unused temp file. I'm not very happy with the relatedTemplate
hack, but it avoids that slowdown.
Backend.WORM does not limit the filename stored in the key.
I have not tried to change that; so git annex add will fail on really long
filenames when using the WORM backend. It seems better to preserve the
invariant that a WORM key always contains the complete filename, since
the filename is the only unique material in the key, other than mtime and
size. Since nobody has complained about add failing (I think I saw it
once?) on WORM, probably it's ok, or nobody but me uses it.
There may be compatability problems if using git annex addurl --fast
or the WORM backend on a system with the 255 limit and then trying to use
that repo in a system with a smaller limit. I have not tried to deal with
those.

When there's no extension, don't use "none", but "".
When there is an extension, it starts with a dot, so don't put a redundant
dot in the default format.
This was the last place in git-annex that could remove data referred to by
the git history, without being forced.
Like drop, dropunused checks remotes, and honors the global annex.numcopies
setting. (However, .gitattributes settings cannot apply to unused files.)
In direct mode, it's best to whenever possible not move direct mode files
out of the way, and so I made unannex avoid touching the direct mode file at
all.
That actually turns out to be easy, because in direct mode, unlike indirect
mode, the pre-commit hook won't get confused if the unannexed file later
gets added back by git add. So there's no need to commit the unannex right
away; it can be staged for the user to commit later. This also means that
unannex in direct mode is a lot faster than in indirect mode!
Another subtle bit is the bookkeeping that is done when unannexing a direct
mode file. The inode cache needs to be removed so that when uninit runs
getKeysPresent, it doesn't see the cache and think the key is still
present and crash when it's not.
This commit is sponsored by Douglas Butts. Thanks!
A common failure mode for direct mode has been for files to end up still
stored in indirect mode. While I hope that doesn't happen anymore, fsck
should deal with it.
This write permission frobbing is very appropriate in indirect mode,
since annexed objects are stored as immutably as can be managed. But not
in direct mode, where files should be able to be modified at any time.
There are already sufficient guards that there's no need to prevent a file
being written to while it's being ingested, in direct mode. The inode cache
will detect (most) types of modifications, and the add will fail. Then a
re-add should be done. The assistant should get another inotify change
event, and automatically add the new version of the file.
Ie, when there'a a conflicted merge we may get foo.variant-xxxx
created in a merge. If a second merge conflict occurs on that new file,
it was not falling back to putting in the whole key (which should stop
the merge conflicts happening for good, but is ugly).
As seen in this bug report, the lifted exception handling using the StateT
monad throws away state changes when an action throws an exception.
http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/git_annex_fork_bombs_on_gpg_file/
.. Which can result in cached values being redundantly calculated, or other
possibly worse bugs when the annex state gets out of sync with reality.
This switches from a StateT AnnexState to a ReaderT (MVar AnnexState).
All changes to the state go via the MVar. So when an Annex action is
running inside an exception handler, and it makes some changes, they
immediately go into affect in the MVar. If it then throws an exception
(or even crashes its thread!), the state changes are still in effect.
The MonadCatchIO-transformers change is actually only incidental.
I could have kept on using lifted-base for the exception handling.
However, I'd have needed to write a new instance of MonadBaseControl
for the new monad.. and I didn't write the old instance.. I begged Bas
and he kindly sent it to me. Happily, MonadCatchIO-transformers is
able to derive a MonadCatchIO instance for my monad.
This is a deep level change. It passes the test suite! What could it break?
Well.. The most likely breakage would be to code that runs an Annex action
in an exception handler, and *wants* state changes to be thrown away.
Perhaps the state changes leaves the state inconsistent, or wrong. Since
there are relatively few places in git-annex that catch exceptions in the
Annex monad, and the AnnexState is generally just used to cache calculated
data, this is unlikely to be a problem.
Oh yeah, this change also makes Assistant.Types.ThreadedMonad a bit
redundant. It's now entirely possible to run concurrent Annex actions in
different threads, all sharing access to the same state! The ThreadedMonad
just adds some extra work on top of that, with its own MVar, and avoids
such actions possibly stepping on one-another's toes. I have not gotten
rid of it, but might try that later. Being able to run concurrent Annex
actions would simplify parts of the Assistant code.
This fixes a bug with git annex add in direct mode. If some files already
existed in the tree pointing at the same key as a file that was just added,
and their content was not present, add neglected to copy the content to
those files.
I also changed the behavior of moveAnnex slightly: When content is moved
into the annex in direct mode, it does not overwrite any content already
present in direct mode files. That content may be modified after all.
That's needed in files used to build the configure program.
For the other files, I'm keeping my __WINDOWS__ define, as I find that much easier to type.
I may search and replace it to use the mingw32_HOST_OS thing later.
A content directory can be frozen in direct mode. One way this can happen
is if the content is transferred before direct mode has a mapping for it,
so it's stored in the content directory.
So, we need to thaw the content directory before doing things with it.
Due to add using withFilesMaybeModified, it will get files that have been
deleted but are still in the index. So catch the IO error that results when
trying to stat such a file.
There may be already staged changes from a prior `git annex add`,
so always commit.
Also, suppressed the commit output, since it contains noise due to
typechanged files in direct mode.
