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.
Pass subcommand as a regular param, which allows passing git parameters
like -c before it. This was already done in the pipeing set of functions,
but not the command running set.
Two fixes. First, and most importantly, relax the isLinkToAnnex check
to only look for /annex/objects/, not [^|/].git/annex/objects. If
GIT_DIR is used with a detached work tree, the git directory is
not necessarily named .git.
There are important caveats with doing that at all, since git-annex will
make symlinks that point at GIT_DIR, which means that the relative path
between GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE needs to remain stable across all clones
of the repository.
----
The other fix is just fixing crazy and wrong code that, when GIT_DIR is
set, expects to still find a git repository in the path below the work
tree, and uses some of its configuration, and some of GIT_DIR. What was I
thinking, and why can't I seem to get this code right?
Making the pre-commit hook look at git diff-index to find changed direct
mode files and update the mappings works pretty well.
One case where it does not work is when a file is git annex added, and then
git rmed, and then this is committed. That's a no-op commit, so the hook
probably doesn't even run, and it certianly never notices that the file
was deleted, so the mapping will still have the original filename in it.
For this and other reasons, it's important that the mappings still be
treated as possibly inconsistent.
Also, the assistant now allows the pre-commit hook to run when in direct
mode, so the mappings also get updated there.
New setting, can be used to disable autocommit of changed files by the
assistant, while it still does data syncing and other tasks.
Also wired into webapp UI
Union merges involving two or more repositories could sometimes result in
data from one repository getting lost. This could result in the location
log data becoming wrong, and fsck being needed to fix it.
NB: I audited for any other occurrences of this problem. There are other
places than union merge where multiple changes are fed into update-index
in a stream, but they all involve working copy files being staged, or their
deletion being staged, and in this case it's fine for the later changes
to override the earlier ones.
git add --update cannot be used, because it'll stage typechanged direct
mode files. Intead, use ls-files to find deleted files, and stage them
ourselves.
It seems that no commit was made before when the scan staged deleted files.
(Probably masked since if files were added, a commit happened then..)
Now that I'm doing the staging, I was also able to fix that bug.
Wrote a better git remote name sanitizer. Git blows up on lots of weird
stuff, especially if it starts the remote name, but I managed to get
some common punctuation working.
Monitors git-annex branch for changes, which are noticed by the Merger
thread whenever the branch ref is changed (either due to an incoming push,
or a local change), and refreshes cached config values for modified config
files.
Rate limited to run no more often than once per minute. This is important
because frequent git-annex branch changes happen when files are being
added, or transferred, etc.
A primary use case is that, when preferred content changes are made,
and get pushed to remotes, the remotes start honoring those settings.
Other use cases include propigating repository description and trust
changes to remotes, and learning when a remote has added a new special
remote, so the webapp can present the GUI to enable that special remote
locally.
Also added a uuid.log cache. All other config files already had caches.
