Made responses to git-annex requests be listed under each request.
This did lead to a little duplication since some replies are used for 2
requests, but it also makes it much clearer and easier to see how the
protocol works.
And, it makes each request self-contained, so they can be split out into
separate pages.
Avoid a warning message when renameExport is not supported, and just
fallback to deleting with a subsequent re-upload. Especially needed for
importtree remotes, where renameExport needs to be disabled.
This changes the external special remote protocol, but in a
backwards-compatible way. A reply of UNSUPPORTED-REQUEST to an older
version of git-annex will cause it to make renameExport return False.
Note that I tried an evil remote that lists ImportLocations with
../../../ in them and indeed this resulted in git blowing up and the
import failing, and not writing outside the repo.
Had to add two more API calls to override export APIs that are not safe
for use in combination with import.
It's unfortunate that removeExportDirectory is documented to be allowed
to remove non-empty directories. I'm not entirely sure why it's that
way, my best guess is it was intended to make it easy to implement with
just rm -rf.
Finishes the start made in 983c9d5a53, by
handling the case where `transfer` fails for some other reason, and so the
ReadContent callback does not get run. I don't know of a case where
`transfer` does fail other than the locking dealt with in that commit, but
it's good to have a guarantee.
StoreContent and StoreContentTo had a similar problem.
Things like `getViaTmp` may decide not to run the transfer action.
And `transfer` could certianly fail, if another transfer of the same
object was in progress. (Or a different object when annex.pidlock is set.)
If the transfer action was not run, the content of the object would
not all get consumed, and so would get interpreted as protocol commands,
which would not go well.
My approach to fixing all of these things is to set a TVar only
once all the data in the transfer is known to have been read/written.
This way the internals of `transfer`, `getViaTmp` etc don't matter.
So in ReadContent, it checks if the transfer completed.
If not, as long as it didn't throw an exception, send empty and Invalid
data to the callback. On an exception the state of the protocol is unknown
so it has to raise ProtoFailureException and close the connection,
same as before.
In StoreContent, if the transfer did not complete
some portion of the DATA has been read, so the protocol is in an unknown
state and it has to close the conection as well.
(The ProtoFailureMessage used here matches the one in Annex.Transfer, which
is the most likely reason. Not ideal to duplicate it..)
StoreContent did not ever close the protocol connection before. So this is
a protocol change, but only in an exceptional circumstance, and it's not
going to break anything, because clients already need to deal with the
connection breaking at any point.
The way this new behavior looks (here origin has annex.pidlock = true so will
only accept one upload to it at a time):
git annex copy --to origin -J2
copy x (to origin...) ok
copy y (to origin...)
Lost connection (fd:25: hGetChar: end of file)
