This only partly fixes importfeed to see journalled files, since it
separately cats metadata directly from the branch. Held off on a
changelog for a bug fix until that's dealt with.
Not yet used, but allows getting the size of items in the tree fairly
cheaply.
I noticed that CmdLine.Seek uses ls-tree and the feeds the files into
another long-running process to check their size. That would be an
example of a place that might be sped up by using this. Although in that
particular case, it only needs to know the size of unlocked files, not
locked. And since enabling --long probably doubles the ls-tree runtime
or more, the overhead of using it there may outwweigh the benefit.
* rmurl: When youtube-dl was used for an url, it no longer needs to be
prefixed with "yt:" in order to be removed.
* rmurl: If an url is both used by the web and also claimed by another
special remote, fix a bug that caused the url to to not be removed.
The youtube-dl change is a consequence of how the bug fix is implemented.
But I also think it's the right thing to do. Consider that, before,
git-annex addurl $url followed by git-annex rmurl $url would not remove the
url in the case where youtube-dl was used. That was surprising behavior.
In the unlikely case where a special remote claims an url, and it's been
added using OtherDownloader, but it was also added already as a web url,
it seems better for rmurl to remove both than to arbitrarily remove only one.
And in the case the bug report was filed for, when an url was added as a
web url, but a special remote now claims it, that should not prevent rmurl
removing the web url.
Calling setUrlMissing lets other callers of it behave differently.
Probably the calls to it in eg, Remote.External and Remote.BitTorrent are
fine, since they don't mangle the url and just remove what was provided,
and the OtherDownloader form of a bittorrent url, respectively.
I suspect unregisterurl needs to have a similar change made to rmurl, for
similar reasons.
This was a bit disappointing, I was hoping for a 2x speedup. But, I think
the metadata lookup is wasting a lot of time and also needs to be made to
stream.
The changes to catObjectStreamLsTree were benchmarked to not also speed
up --all around 3% more. Seems I managed to make it polymorphic after all.
planned to use for an optimisation
most things using stagedDetails were not expecting to get dup files in a
conflicted merge and deal with them, so converted them to use
inRepoDetails.
And convert parser to attoparsec, probably faster.
Before, a parse failure threw the whole --stage output line in to the
filename, which was certianly a bad idea, so fixed that.
The only price paid is one additional MVar read per write to the journal.
Presumably writing a journal file dominiates over a MVar read time by
several orders of magnitude.
--batch does not get the speedup because then it needs to notice when
another process has made a change. Also made the assistant and other damon
modes bypass the optimisation, which would not help them anyway.
Adds a dependency on filepath-bytestring, an as yet unreleased fork of
filepath that operates on RawFilePath.
Git.Repo also changed to use RawFilePath for the path to the repo.
This does eliminate some RawFilePath -> FilePath -> RawFilePath
conversions. And filepath-bytestring's </> is probably faster.
But I don't expect a major performance improvement from this.
This is mostly groundwork for making Annex.Location use RawFilePath,
which will allow for a conversion-free pipleline.
Finally builds (oh the agoncy of making it build), but still very
unmergable, only Command.Find is included and lots of stuff is badly
hacked to make it compile.
Benchmarking vs master, this git-annex find is significantly faster!
Specifically:
num files old new speedup
48500 4.77 3.73 28%
12500 1.36 1.02 66%
20 0.075 0.074 0% (so startup time is unchanged)
That's without really finishing the optimization. Things still to do:
* Eliminate all the fromRawFilePath, toRawFilePath, encodeBS,
decodeBS conversions.
* Use versions of IO actions like getFileStatus that take a RawFilePath.
* Eliminate some Data.ByteString.Lazy.toStrict, which is a slow copy.
* Use ByteString for parsing git config to speed up startup.
It's likely several of those will speed up git-annex find further.
And other commands will certianly benefit even more.
This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
Most of the individual logs are not converted yet, only presense logs
have an efficient ByteString Builder implemented so far. The rest
convert to and from String.
* rmurl: Fix a case where removing the last url left git-annex thinking
content was still present in the web special remote.
* SETURLPRESENT, SETURIPRESENT, SETURLMISSING, and SETURIMISSING
used to update the presence information of the external special remote
that called them; this was not documented behavior and is no longer done.
Done by making setUrlPresent and setUrlMissing only update presence info
for the web, and only when the url is a web url. See the comment for
reasoning about why that's the right thing to do.
In AddUrl, had to make it update location tracking, to handle the
non-web-url case.

Added annex.commitmessage config that can specify a commit message for the
git-annex branch instead of the usual "update".
This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
Useful for things like ipfs that don't use regular urls.
An external special remote can add a regular url to a key, and then
git-annex get will download it from the web. But for ipfs, we want to
instead tell git-annex that the uri uses OtherDownloader. Before this
change, the external special remote protocol lacked a way to do that.
I hope this doesn't impact speed much -- it does have to pull out a value
from Annex state every time it accesses the branch now.
The test case I dropped has never caught any problems that I can remember,
and would have been rather difficult to convert.
The url log could have an url for a key, while the location log thinks it's
not present in the web. In this case, addurl --file url would not do
anything. Fixed it to re-add the web as a location.
I don't know how this situation could arise, but I saw it in the wild in
the conference_proceedings repo, affecting key
URL-s17806003--http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2014/Wednesday/53-Building_Effective_Alliances_around_the_Trans-Pacific_Partnershi-c0505b631127ccc67e38e637344d988e
Investigating the presence log, it looked like that key
was originally listed as present in the web, then in commit
56abf9e9f3e691ed9d83513037d4019313321ca3 someone else's git-annex
set it and some other things to not present in the web. It would be
interesting to know what that user did, but I doubt I'll be able to find
out. All I can tell from this investigation is that the inconsistency was
not introduced when originally addurl-ing the url.
This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
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.
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 commit includes a paydown on technical debt incurred two years ago,
when I didn't know that it was bad to make custom Read and Show instances
for types. As the routes need Read and Show for Transfer, which includes a
Key, and deriving my own Read instance of key was not practical,
I had to finally clean that up.
So the compact Key read and show functions are now file2key and key2file,
and Read and Show are now derived instances.
Changed all code that used the old instances, compiler checked.
(There were a few places, particularly in Command.Unused, and the test
suite where the Show instance continue to be used for legitimate
comparisons; ie show key_x == show key_y (though really in a bloom filter))
storing it in remotes/web/xx/yy/foo.log meant lots of extra directory
objects in git. Now I use xx/yy/foo.log.web, which is just as unique, but
more efficient since foo.log is there anyway.
Of course, it still looks in the old location too.
