Which uses yt-dlp to screen scrape the equivilant of an RSS feed.
Note that youtubedlscraped is a speed optimisation. Since yt-dlp found
the urls, we know it can download them. That avoids calling
youtubeDlSupported on each url, which makes --fast a lot faster.
Almost all the same metadata fields and file formatting fields are
populated, when yt-dlp is able to get the data. Note that yt-dlp has some
additional useful metadata that could be exposed. But, much of it is
specific to particular websites, and it would be hard to document on the
git-annex importfeed man page.

This is groundwork for using watchFileSize for downloads from external
special remotes.
In Annex.Content.downloadUrl, this potentially avoids jitter in the
progress meter. When downloading with conduit, the meter gets updated based
on both the size of the file, and on the data flowing through conduit.
If that has not yet been flushed to the file, it seems possible for the
meter to run backwards when meter is updated with the file size.
It's probably only a few kb of jitter, so may not be visible.

Refactored to allow offline experimentation, and ended up changing the
allowedvariation (aka fudge factor) to 3. 10 seems too high, and 1.5 too low.
Scale earlier, so even if the first chunk takes less than the configured
time period, allowance is made that later chunks might transfer slower.
Decided to use the same allowedvariation to decide when to start
scaling.
Smoothed the scaling out.
Some examples:
ghci> upscale (BwRate 10 (Duration 60)) 25
BwRate 13 (Duration {durationSeconds = 75})
-- A small scaling upwards after 1/3rd the time. Not noticable.
ghci> upscale (BwRate 10 (Duration 60)) 60
BwRate 30 (Duration {durationSeconds = 180})
-- At the configured time, 3x scaling.
ghci> upscale (BwRate 10 (Duration 60)) 120
BwRate 60 (Duration {durationSeconds = 360})
-- A typical upscaling, here a 1 minute duration became 6 minutes
-- due to the first chunk taking 2 minutes to transfer.
ghci> upscale (BwRate 10 (Duration 60)) 600
BwRate 300 (Duration {durationSeconds = 1800})
-- Here the first chunk took 10 minutes to transfer, so it will
-- take 30 minutes to detect a stall.

Improve annex.stalldetection to handle remotes that update progress less
frequently than the configured time period.
In particular, this makes remotes that don't report progress but are
chunked work when transferring a single chunk takes longer than the
specified time period.
Any remotes that just have very low update granulatity would also be
handled by this.
The change to Remote.Helper.Chunked avoids an extra progress update when
resuming an interrupted upload. In that case, the code saw first Nothing
and then Just the already transferred number of bytes, which defeated this
new heuristic. This change will mean that, when resuming an interrupted
upload to a chunked remote that does not do its own progress reporting, the
progress display does not start out displaying the amount sent so far,
until after the first chunk is sent. This behavior change does not seem
like a major problem.
About the scalefudgefactor, it seems reasonable to expect subsequent chunks
to take no more than 1.5 times as long as the first chunk to transfer.
Could set it to 1, but then any chunk taking a little longer would be
treated as a stall. 2 also seems a likely value. Even 10 might be fine?

Improve disk free space checking when transferring unsized keys to
local git remotes. Since the size of the object file is known, can
check that instead.
Getting unsized keys from local git remotes does not check the actual
object size. It would be harder to handle that direction because the size
check is run locally, before anything involving the remote is done. So it
doesn't know the size of the file on the remote.
Also, transferring unsized keys to other remotes, including ssh remotes and
p2p remotes don't do disk size checking for unsized keys. This would need a
change in protocol.
(It does seem like it would be possible to implement the same thing for
directory special remotes though.)
In some sense, it might be better to not ever do disk free checking for
unsized keys, than to do it only sometimes. A user might notice this
direction working and consider it a bug that the other direction does not.
On the other hand, disk reserve checking is not implemented for most
special remotes at all, and yet it is implemented for a few, which is also
inconsistent, but best effort. And so doing this best effort seems to make
some sense. Fundamentally, if the user wants the size to always be checked,
they should not use unsized keys.

I saw a nearly 2 minute speed up from this, in a repo with 56000 files some
of which are preferred content of the special remote and others not. In
such a case, addBackExportExcluded has to do a lot of work, which is
unncessary when the tree is unchanged.
When using sync --content, preferred content checking of that many files
takes about 1 minute. So this speeds up sync --content by 3x.
When using git-annex import, the speed up is much larger.

When importing from a special remote, support preferred content expressions
that use terms that match on keys (eg "present", "copies=1"). Such terms
are ignored when importing, since the key is not known yet.
When "standard" or "groupwanted" is used, the terms in those
expressions also get pruned accordingly.
This does allow setting preferred content to "not (copies=1)" to make a
special remote into a "source" type of repository. Importing from it will
import all files. Then exporting to it will drop all files from it.
In the case of setting preferred content to "present", it's pruned on
import, so everything gets imported from it. Then on export, it's applied,
and everything in it is left on it, and no new content is exported to it.
Since the old behavior on these preferred content expressions was for
importtree to error out, there's no backwards compatability to worry about.
Except that sync/pull/etc will now import where before it errored out.
This can reduce the size of the branch by up to 8%. My test was
running git-annex add 1000 times on one file each.
Lots of different high-resolution timestamps were recorded before
and eliminating those, after packing, the git repo was 8% smaller.
Due to the use of vector clocks, high resolution timestamps are
not necessary to make clear which information is most recent when
eg, a value is changed repeatedly in the same second. In such a
case, the vector clock will be advanced to the next second after
the last modification. For example, running
git-annex numcopies 1; git-annex numcopies 2
The first will record the current second, while the next records
the second after that even if it runs in the same second.
As for conflicting information written to two different clones of the
repository, this will make git-annex sometimes pick information that
was written earlier in a second over information written later in the
same second. Usually git-annex does not write conflicting information,
but there are some cases where it could. Eg, storing an object on a remote
can update the remote state log with some state. If two repos both store the
same object, and end up storing different remote state for some reason,
this can result in one that ran a tiny bit later winning. Such a situation
seems unlikely to be user visible. And a small amount of clock skew could
already result in such things.
The only case I can think of where this might be a user visible change
is if a configuration command like git-annex numcopies is being run
in 2 clones of a repository on the same machine at very
close to the same time. Then the user will know which they ran last,
and git-annex won't.
If that did become a problem, this could be dialed back to eg log
milliseconds with still some space saving.
migrate: Support adding size to URL keys that were added with --relaxed, by
running eg: git-annex migrate --backend=URL foo
Since url keys cannot be generated, that used to fail. Make it notice that
the backend is not changed, and just get the size of the content.

This is most of the way there, but not quite working.
The layout of migrate.tree/ needs to be changed to follow this approach.
git log will list all the files in tree order, so the new layout needs
to alternate old and new keys. Can that be done? git may not document
tree order, or may not preserve it here.
Alternatively, change to using git log --format=raw and extract
the tree header from that, then use
git diff --raw $tree:migrate.tree/old $tree:migrate.tree/new
That will be a little more expensive, but only when there are lots of
migrations.

This will allow distributed migration: Start a migration in one clone of
a repo, and then update other clones.
commitMigration is a bit of a bear.. There is some inversion of control
that needs some TMVars. Also streamLogFile's finalizer does not handle
recording the trees, so an interrupt at just the wrong time can cause
migration.log to be emptied but the git-annex branch not updated.

Make git-annex get/copy/move --from foo override configuration of
remote.foo.annex-ignore, as documented.
This already worked for remotes supporting hasKeyCheap. For others though,
git-annex copy --from foo would silently not do anything, while
git-annex copy --to foo would use the annex-ignored remote.
Also improved the annex-ignore docs, to reflect that `git-annex get`
without --from will skip using annex-ignored remotes, for example.

Noticed that Semigroup instance of Map is not suitable to use
for MapLog. For example, it behaved like this:
ghci> parseTrustLog "foo 1 timestamp=10\nfoo 2 timestamp=11" <> parseTrustLog "foo X timestamp=12"
fromList [(UUID "foo",LogEntry {changed = VectorClock 11s, value = SemiTrusted})]
Which was wrong, it lost the newer DeadTrusted value.
Luckily, nothing used that Semigroup when operating on a MapLog. And this
provides a safe instance.

In particular, the mergedrefs file was written with CR added to each line,
but read without CRLF handling. This resulted in each update of the file
adding CR to each line in it, growing the number of lines, while also
preventing the optimisation from working, so it remerged unncessarily.
writeFile and readFile do NewlineMode translation on Windows. But the
ByteString conversion prevented that from happening any longer.
I've audited for other cases of this, and found three more
(.git/annex/index.lck, .git/annex/ignoredrefs, and .git/annex/import/). All
of those also only prevent optimisations from working. Some other files are
currently both read and written with ByteString, but old git-annex may have
written them with NewlineMode translation. Other files are at risk for
breakage later if the reader gets converted to ByteString.
This is a minimal fix, but should be enough, as long as I remember to use
fileLines when splitting a ByteString into lines. This leaves files written
using ByteString without CR added, but that's ok because old git-annex has
no difficulty reading such files.
When the mergedrefs file has gotten lines that end with "\r\r\r\n", this
will eventually clean it up. Each update will remove a single trailing CR.
Note that S8.lines is still used in eg Command.Unused, where it is parsing
git show-ref, and similar in Git/*. git commands don't include CR in their
output so that's ok.

Minor optimisation, but a win in every case, except for a couple where
it's a wash.
Note that replaceFile still takes a FilePath, because it needs to
operate on Chars to truncate unicode filenames properly.
Note that the use of s2w8 in genUUIDInNameSpace made it truncate unicode
characters. Luckily, genUUIDInNameSpace is only ever used on ASCII
strings as far as I can determine. In particular, git-remote-gcrypt's
gcrypt-id is an ASCII string.
Note the use of fromString and toString from Data.ByteString.UTF8 dated
back to commit 9b93278e8a. Back then it
was using the dataenc package for base64, which operated on Word8 and
String. But with the switch to sandi, it uses ByteString, and indeed
fromB64' and toB64' were already using ByteString without that
complication. So I think there is no risk of such an encoding related
breakage.
I also tested the case that 9b93278e8a
fixed:
git-annex metadata -s foo='a …' x
git-annex metadata x
metadata x
foo=a …
In Remote.Helper.Encryptable, it was avoiding using Utility.Base64
because of that UTF8 conversion. Since that's no longer done, it can
just use it now.
This does not improve Annex.Branch.files at all, since it still uses ++ to
combine the lists, so forcing all but the last one.
But when there are a lot of files in the private journal, it does avoid
--all (or a bare repo) from buffering the filenames in memory.
See commit 653b719472 for prior discussion of
this buffering.

importfeed: Use caching database to avoid needing to list urls on every
run, and avoid using too much memory.
Benchmarking in my podcasts repo, importfeed got 1.42 seconds faster,
and memory use dropped from 203000k to 59408k.
Database.ImportFeed is Database.ContentIdentifier with the serial number
filed off. There is a bit of code duplication I would like to avoid,
particularly recordAnnexBranchTree, and getAnnexBranchTree. But these use
the persistent sqlite tables, so despite the code being the same, they
cannot be factored out.
Since this database includes the contentidentifier metadata, it will be
slightly redundant if a sqlite database is ever added for metadata. I
did consider making such a generic database and using it for this. But,
that would then need importfeed to update both the url database and the
metadata database, which is twice as much work diffing the git-annex
branch trees. Or would entagle updating two databases in a complex way.
So instead it seems better to optimise the database that
importfeed needs, and if the metadata database is used by another command,
use a little more disk space and do a little bit of redundant work to
update it.

git-annex only writes regular files there, but other things may drop junk
like empty .DAV directories around the tree. And trying to hash such things

Fix behavior when importing a tree from a directory remote when the
directory does not exist. An empty tree was imported, rather than the
import failing. Merging that tree would delete every file in the
branch, if those files had been exported to the directory before.
The problem was that dirContentsRecursive returned [] when the directory
did not exist. Better for it to throw an exception. But in commit
74f0d67aa3 back in 2012, I made it never
theow exceptions, because exceptions throw inside unsafeInterleaveIO become
untrappable when the list is being traversed.
So, changed it to list the contents of the directory before entering
unsafeInterleaveIO. So exceptions are thrown for the directory. But still
not if it's unable to list the contents of a subdirectory. That's less of a
problem, because the subdirectory does exist (or if not, it got removed
after being listed, and it's ok to not include it in the list). A
subdirectory that has permissions that don't allow listing it will have its
contents omitted from the list still.
(Might be better to have it return a type that includes indications of
errors listing contents of subdirectories?)
The rest of the changes are making callers of dirContentsRecursive
use emptyWhenDoesNotExist when they relied on the behavior of it not
throwing an exception when the directory does not exist. Note that
it's possible some callers of dirContentsRecursive that used to ignore
permissions problems listing a directory will now start throwing exceptions
on them.
The fix to the directory special remote consisted of not making its
call in listImportableContentsM use emptyWhenDoesNotExist. So it will
throw an exception as desired.

Significant startup speed increase by avoiding repeatedly checking if some
remote git-annex branch refs need to be merged when it is not newer.
One way this could happen is when there are 2 remotes that are themselves
connected. The git-annex branch on the first remote gets updated. Then the
second remote pulls from the first, and merges in its git-annex branch.
Then the local repo pulls from the second remote, and merges its git-annex
branch. At this point, a pull from the first remote will get a git-annex
branch that is not newer, but is not on the merged refs list.
In my big repo, git-annex startup time dropped from 4 seconds to 0.1 seconds.
There were 5 to 10 such remote refs out of 18 remotes.

git-annex test hang when running git-annex add in an adjusted unlocked
branch. I couldn't seem to reproduce the hang outside the test suite.
Seems that the code added in 26a9ea12d1
was buggy, and as that commit was made without testing it, building with
unix-2.8 exposed the bug.
I don't fully understand the bug, which involves fdToHandle
and then closing the fd, vs closing the handle. May somehow involve
laziness or forcing around the S.hGet? Using hClose solved it
in any case.
(Also eliminated checkcontentfollowssymlinks to fix a build warning
when it's not used.)
And annex.largefiles and annex.addunlocked.
Also git-annex matchexpression --explain explains why its input
expression matches or fails to match.
When there is no limit, avoid explaining why the lack of limit
matches. This is also done when no preferred content expression is set,
although in a few cases it defaults to a non-empty matcher, which will
be explained.

Currently it only displays explanations of options like --in and --copies.
In the future, it should explain preferred content expression evaluation
and other decisions.
The explanations of a few things could be better. In particular,
"standard" will just appear as-is (or as "!standard" if it doesn't
match), rather than explaining why the standard preferred content expression
for the group matches or not.
Currently as implemented, it goes to stdout, and so commands like
git-annex find that have custom output will not display --explain
information. Perhaps that should change, dunno.

yt-dlp when resumed was observed having written the same filename twice

This causes changes to the original branch to get merged with a single

Bug fix: Re-running git-annex adjust or sync when in an adjusted branch
would overwrite the original branch, losing any commits that had been made

When git-annex adjust is run in this situation, it will display a warning

When git-annex sync is run in this situation, mergeToAdjustedBranch

So it does not need to display the divergence warning.
Note that for some reason, I'm needing to run sync twice for that to
happen. The first run does not do the merge and the second does. I'm unsure
why and so am not fully done with this bug.

Fixes a crash by git-annex repair when .git/annex/journal/ does not exist.
Normally the journal directory is created before withJournalHandle gets
run, but git-annex repair can be run in a situation where it does not
exist.
Rather than after it, which can leave one wondering what file it's
downloading.
youtubeDl should not ever return Right Nothing in normal operation,
becaause it's already asked youtube-dl if it supports the url. So it
would have to succeed at that, then not download any file, but also
exit successfully, in order for the new error message to display.
Also display the name of yt-dlp when using it.
Sometimes resuming an interrupted download will fail to resume and download
more files with different names. That resulted in the workdir having
multiple files at the end, which causes git-annex to give up because it
does not know what was downloaded.
To fix this, use a yt-dlp feature, which appends to a file the name of each
file after it's finished downloading it. So the presence of other cruft in
the workdir will not confuse git-annex.
* config: Added the --show-origin and --for-file options.
* config: Support annex.numcopies and annex.mincopies.
There is a little bit of redundancy here with other code elsewhere that
combines the various configs and selects which to use. But really only
for the special case of annex.numcopies, which is a git config that does
not override the annex branch setting and for annex.mincopies, which does
not have a git config but does have gitattributes settings as well as the
annex branch setting.
That seems small enough, and unlikely enough to grow into a mess that it was
worth supporting annex.numcopies and annex.mincopies in git-annex config
--show-origin. Because these settings are a prime thing that someone might
get confused about and want to know where they were configured.
And, it followed that git-annex config might as well support those two
for --set and --get as well. While this is redundant with the speclialized
commands, it's only a little code and it makes it more consistent.
Note that --set does not have as nice output as numcopies/mincopies
commands in some special cases like setting to 0 or a negative number.
It does avoid setting to a bad value thanks to the smart
constructors (eg configuredNumCopies).
As for other git-annex branch configurations that are not set by git-annex
config, things like trust and wanted that are specific to a repository
don't map to a git config name, so don't really fit into git-annex config.
And they are only configured in the git-annex branch with no local override
(at least so far), so --show-origin would not be useful for them.
