Accept arbitrarily encoded repository filepaths etc when reading git config
output. This fixes support for remotes with unusual characters in their
names.
For example, a remote with a url of /tmp/çüş was previously
skipped, because the filename wasn't encoded right so it didn't think it
was available. And when setting the annex-uuid of a remote named "çüş",
it used to add it under a mis-encoded form of the remote's name. Both these
cases now work ok in my testing.
While I was in there, I noticed and fixed a bug in the queue size
calculations. It was never encountered only because Queue.add was
only ever run with 1 file in the list.
This allows the queue to be used in a single process for multiple possibly
conflicting commands, like add and rm, without running them out of order.
This assumes that running the same git subcommand with different parameters
cannot itself conflict.
Avoid more expensive code path when no core.worktree is configured.
Don't change worktree when reading config if one is already set.
This could happen if GIT_CORE_WORKTREE is set, and the repo also has
core.worktree, and the config is reread. Now GIT_CORE_WORKTREE will
prevail.
The environment needs to override git-config. Changed when git config is
read, and avoid rereading it once it's been read.
chdir for both worktree settings.
Baked into the code was an assumption that a repository's git directory
could be determined by adding ".git" to its work tree (or nothing for bare
repos). That fails when core.worktree, or GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are
used to separate the two.
This was attacked at the type level, by storing the gitdir and worktree
separately, so Nothing for the worktree means a bare repo.
A complication arose because we don't learn where a repository is bare
until its configuration is read. So another Location type handles
repositories that have not had their config read yet. I am not entirely
happy with this being a Location type, rather than representing them
entirely separate from the Git type. The new code is not worse than the
old, but better types could enforce more safety.
Added support for core.worktree. Overriding it with -c isn't supported
because it's not really clear what to do if a git repo's config is read, is
not bare, and is then overridden to bare. What is the right git directory
in this case? I will worry about this if/when someone has a use case for
overriding core.worktree with -c. (See Git.Config.updateLocation)
Also removed and renamed some functions like gitDir and workTree that
misused git's terminology.
One minor regression is known: git annex add in a bare repository does not
print a nice error message, but runs git ls-files in a way that fails
earlier with a less nice error message. This is because before --work-tree
was always passed to git commands, even in a bare repo, while now it's not.
This is incomplete, it does not honor it yet for hash directories
and other annex bookkeeping files. Some of that is not needed for a bare
repo; some of it may be.
git-annex (but not git-annex-shell) supports the git help.autocorrect
configuration setting, doing fuzzy matching using the restricted
Damerau-Levenshtein edit distance, just as git does. This adds a build
dependency on the haskell edit-distance library.
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.
The filename sent to git cat-file needs to be sent on a File encoded handle.
Also set the read handle to use the File encoding, so that any error
message mentioning the filename is received properly.
The actual file content is read using Data.ByteString.Char8, which
will ignore the read handle's encoding, so this won't change that.
(Whether that is entirely correct remains to be seen.)
useful when adding hundreds of thousands of files on a system with plenty
of memory.
git add gets quite slow in such a large repository, so if the system has
more than the ~32 mb of memory the queue can use by default, it's a useful
optimisation to increase the queue size, in order to decrease the number
of times git add is run.
The list of files had to be retained until the end so it could be deleted.
Also, a list of update-index lines was generated and only then fed into it.
Now everything streams in constant space.
When hashing the files, the entire list of shas was read strictly.
That was entirely unnecessary, since there's a cleanup action run
after they're consumed.
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.
Under ghc 7.4, this seems to be able to handle all filename encodings
again. Including filename encodings that do not match the LANG setting.
I think this will not work with earlier versions of ghc, it uses some ghc
internals.
Turns out that ghc 7.4 has a special filesystem encoding that it uses when
reading/writing filenames (as FilePaths). This encoding is documented
to allow "arbitrary undecodable bytes to be round-tripped through it".
So, to get FilePaths from eg, git ls-files, set the Handle that is reading
from git to use this encoding. Then things basically just work.
However, I have not found a way to make Text read using this encoding.
Text really does assume unicode. So I had to switch back to using String
when reading/writing data to git. Which is a pity, because it's some
percent slower, but at least it works.
Note that stdout and stderr also have to be set to this encoding, or
printing out filenames that contain undecodable bytes causes a crash.
IMHO this is a misfeature in ghc, that the user can pass you a filename,
which you can readFile, etc, but that default, putStr of filename may
cause a crash!
Git.CheckAttr gave me special trouble, because the filenames I got back
from git, after feeding them in, had further encoding breakage.
Rather than try to deal with that, I just zip up the input filenames
with the attributes. Which must be returned in the same order queried
for this to work.
Also of note is an apparent GHC bug I worked around in Git.CheckAttr. It
used to forkProcess and feed git from the child process. Unfortunatly,
after this forkProcess, accessing the `files` variable from the parent
returns []. Not the value that was passed into the function. This screams
of a bad bug, that's clobbering a variable, but for now I just avoid
forkProcess there to work around it. That forkProcess was itself only added
because of a ghc bug, #624389. I've confirmed that the test case for that
bug doesn't reproduce it with ghc 7.4. So that's ok, except for the new ghc
bug I have not isolated and reported. Why does this simple bit of code
magnet the ghc bugs? :)
Also, the symlink touching code is currently broken, when used on utf-8
filenames in a non-utf-8 locale, or probably on any filename containing
undecodable bytes, and I temporarily commented it out.
I had not realized what a memory leak the lazy state monad could be,
although I have not seen much evidence of actual leaking in git-annex.
However, if running git-annex on a great many files, this could matter.
The additional Utility.State.changeState adds even more strictness,
avoiding a problem I saw in github-backup where repeatedly modifying
state built up a huge pile of thunks.
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.
This overrides the trust.log, and is overridden by the command-line trust
parameters.
It would have been nicer to have Logs.Trust.trustMap just look up the
configuration for all remotes, but a dependency loop prevented that
(Remotes depends on Logs.Trust in several ways). So instead, look up
the configuration when building remotes, storing it in the same forcetrust
field used for the command-line trust parameters.
Turns out that git will accept a .git/config containing an url with eg,
spaces in its name. Handle this by escaping the url if it's not valid.
This also fixes support for urls containing escaped characters like %20
for space. Before, the path from the url was not unescaped properly.
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.
The describe function was only intended to generate a human-visible
description of a branch, but taking the base of a branch is a useful
operation to be able to do no matter the human-visible representation.
Converting a branch like refs/heads/master to refs/heads/origin/master
is also a useful operation, and under can do that.
Consider this git config --list case:
url.git+ssh://git@example.com/.insteadOf=gl
url.git+ssh://git@example.com/.insteadOf=shared
Since config is stored in a Map, only the last of the values for this key
was stored and available for use by the insteadOf code. But that
is wrong; git allows either "gl" or "shared" to be used in an url and
the insteadOf value to be substituted in.
To support this, it seems best to keep the existing config map as-is,
and add a second map that accumulates a list of multiple values for
config keys. This new fullconfig map can be used in the rare places where
multiple values for a key make sense, without needing to complicate
everything else.
Haskell's laziness and data sharing keep the overhead of adding
this second map low.
I was happily able to repurpose some code from Git.Filename to handle this.
I remember writing that code... a whole afternoon at a coffee shop, after
which I felt I'd struggled with Haskell and git, and sorta lost, in needing
to write this nasty peice of code. But was also pleased at the use of a
pair of functions and quickcheck that allowed me to get it 100% right.
So, turns out I not only got it right, but the code wasn't as special-purpose
as I'd feared. Yay!
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.
Could have just used hGetContentsStrict here, but that would require
storing all the shas in memory. Since this is called at the end of a
git-annex run, it may have created a *lot* of shas, so I avoid that memory
use and stream them out like before.
Testing b9ac585454, it didn't find the
optimal union merge, the second sha was the one to use, at least in
the case I tried. Let's just try all shas to see if any can be reused.
I stopped using the expensive nub, so despite the use of sets to
sort/uniq file contents, this is probably as fast or faster than it
was before.
Tries to avoid generating a new object when the merged content has the same
lines that were in the old object.
I've noticed some merge commits that only move lines around, like this:
- 1323478057.181191s 1 be23c3ac-0ee5-11e0-b185-3b0f9b5b00c5
1323204972.062151s 1 87e06c7a-7388-11e0-ba07-03cdf300bd87
++1323478057.181191s 1 be23c3ac-0ee5-11e0-b185-3b0f9b5b00c5
Unsure if this will really save anything in practice, since it only looks
at one of the two old objects, and maybe I didn't pick the best one.
In git, a Ref can be a Sha, or a Branch, or a Tag. I added type aliases for
those. Note that this does not prevent mixing up of eg, refs and branches
at the type level. Since git really doesn't care, except rare cases like
git update-ref, or git tag -d, that seems ok for now.
There's also a tree-ish, but let's just use Ref for it. A given Sha or Ref
may or may not be a tree-ish, depending on the object type, so there seems
no point in trying to represent it at the type level.
