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. :-)
Clean up from 9769235d6b.
In some cases, looking up a remote by name even though it has no UUID is
desirable. This includes git annex sync, which can operate on remotes
without an annex, and XMPP pairing, which runs addRemote (with calls
byName) before the UUID of the XMPP remote has been configured in git.
Now there's a Config type, that's extracted from the git config at startup.
Note that laziness means that individual config values are only looked up
and parsed on demand, and so we get implicit memoization for all of them.
So this is not only prettier and more type safe, it optimises several
places that didn't have explicit memoization before. As well as getting rid
of the ugly explicit memoization code.
Not yet done for annex.<remote>.* configuration settings.
Nearly everything that's reading from git is operating on a small
amount of output and has been switched to use that. Only pipeNullSplit
stuff continues using the lazy version that yields zombies.
Don't expose these as branches in refs/heads/. Instead hide them away in
refs/synced/ where only show-ref will find them.
Make unused only look at branches and tags, not these other things,
so it won't care if some stale sync ref used to use a file.
This means they don't need to be deleted, which could have
led to an incoming sync being missed.
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))
Was decoding the git-cat-file of the symlink target as utf8, but that can't
do, unix filenames are from the 70's and need this shiny disco
fileSystemEncoding.
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.
annex.ssh-options, annex.rsync-options, annex.bup-split-options.
And adjust types to avoid the bugs that broke several config settings
recently. Now "annex." prefixing is enforced at the type level.
Add tuning, docs, etc.
Not sure if status is the right place to remote size.. perhaps unused
should report the size and also warn if it sees more keys than the bloom
filter allows?
Stale and bad files are rare, so it's more efficient to use inAnnex to see
if they can be deleted, rather than keeping the list of all present keys
around for them.
Before, it leaked space due to caching lists of keys. Now all necessary
data about keys is calculated as they stream in.
The "nearly constant" is due to getKeysPresent, which builds up a lot
of [] thunks as it traverses .git/annex/objects/. Will deal with it later.
Much of the memory bloat turned out to be due to getKeysReferenced
containing a mapM, which is strict and buffered the whole list
rather than streaming it.
The other half of the bloat was due to building a temporary Set
in order to call S.difference. While that is more cpu efficient,
I switched to successive S.delete, since with it, I can run a whole
git annex unused in less than 8 mb of memory.
The whole Set of keys with content available is still stored in memory,
so running unused in a repo with a whole lot of file content will still
use more memory. In a repo containing 6000 files, it needed 40 mb.
Note that the status command still uses the bloatful getKeysReferenced.
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.
Made --from and --to command-specific options.
Added generic storage for values of command-specific options,
which allows removing some of the special case fields in AnnexState.
(Also added generic storage for command-specific flags, although there are
not yet any.)
Note that this storage uses a Map, so repeatedly looking up the same value
is slightly more expensive than looking up an AnnexState field. But, the
value can be looked up once in the seek stage, transformed as necessary,
and passed in a closure to the start stage, and this avoids that overhead.
Still, I'm hesitant to use this for things like force or fast flags.
It's probably best to reserve it for flags that are only used by a few
commands, or options like --from and --to that it's important only be
allowed to be used with commands that implement them, to avoid user
confusion.
