May actually work now.
Note that, importKey now has to add the size to the key if it's supposed
to have size. Remote.Directory relied on the importer adding the size,
which is no longer done, so it was changed; it was the only one.
This way, importKey does not need to behave differently between regular
and thirdpartypopulated imports.
These don't have importTree in their config, because they don't support
tree import, but they do still support import, and do not support export
or key/value modification.
This is to support, eg a borg repo as a special remote, which is
populated not by running git-annex commands, but by using borg. Then
git-annex sync lists the content of the remote, learns which files are
annex objects, and treats those as present in the remote.
So, most of the import machinery is reused, to a new purpose. While
normally importtree maintains a remote tracking branch, this does not,
because the files stored in the remote are annex object files, not
user-visible filenames. But, internally, a git tree is still generated,
of the files on the remote that are annex objects. This tree is used
by retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier, etc. As with other import/export
remotes, that the tree is recorded in the export log, and gets grafted
into the git-annex branch.
importKey changed to be able to return Nothing, to indicate when an
ImportLocation is not an annex object and so should be skipped from
being included in the tree.
It did not seem to make sense to have git-annex import do this, since
from the user's perspective, it's not like other imports. So only
git-annex sync does it.
Note that, git-annex sync does not yet download objects from such
remotes that are preferred content. importKeys is run with
content downloading disabled, to avoid getting the content of all
objects. Perhaps what's needed is for seekSyncContent to be run with these
remotes, but I don't know if it will just work (in particular, it needs
to avoid trying to transfer objects to them), so I skipped that for now.
(Untested and unused as of yet.)

Don't want to try to use these remotes as key/value remotes, which will
surely fail. It only recently became possible for importtree to be set
w/o exporttree, so before this code was ok.
(cherry picked from commit 97599cb0f7f4115aa5a3e81a91ee3d1d6c52dc84)
Added annex.adjustedbranchrefresh git config to update adjusted branches
set up by git-annex adjust --unlock-present/--hide-missing.
Note, in a few cases, I was not able to make the adjusted branch
be updated in calls to moveAnnex, because information about what
file corresponds to a key is not available. They are:
* If two files point to one file, then eg, `git annex get foo` will
update the branch to unlock foo, but will not unlock bar, because it
does not know about it. Might be fixable by making `git annex get
bar` do something besides skipping bar?
* git-annex-shell recvkey likewise (so sends over ssh from old versions
of git-annex)
* git-annex setkey
* git-annex transferkey if the user does not use --file
* git-annex multicast sends keys with no associated file info
Doing a single full refresh at the end, after any incremental refresh,
will deal with those edge cases.
It seemed best to do this, for consistency with every other way files can
get into a git-annex repo. Although it's just a bit strange that a local
.gitignore file affects the pseudo-commits made for the remote that's
imported from.

sync: When run without --content, import without copying from
importtree=yes directory special remotes. (Other special remotes may
support this later as well.)
This commit was sponsored by Svenne Krap on Patreon.
This avoids import with --no-content and with --content potentially
generating two different trees, leading to a merge conflict when run in
two different clones of a repo. And it's necessary groundwork to make
git-annex sync --no-content import from special remotes that support
importKey.
Only the directory special remote currently supports importKey, and it
generates the same key as git-annex usually does, so there is no
behavior change for it.
Future special remotes will need to take care when adding importKey,
if it generates different keys. Added some warnings about that to
comments.

This was the last one marked as a zombie. There might be others I don't
know about, but except for in the hypothetical case of a thread dying
due to an async exception before it can wait on a process it started, I
don't know of any.
It would probably be safe to remove the reapZombies now, but let's wait
and so that in its own commit in case it turns out to cause problems.

Sped up seeking to around twice as fast, by avoiding a pass over the
worktree files when preferred content expressions of the local repo and
remotes don't use include=/exclude=.
Thanks to Lukey for identifying the optimisation.

Otherwise the bloom filter may not be fully populated when the second
pass starts, which could have led to incorrect behavior with --all -J,
probably in very rare circumstances.
No behavior changes (hopefully), just adding SeekInput and plumbing it
through to the JSON display code for later use.
Over the course of 2 grueling days.
withFilesNotInGit reimplemented in terms of seekHelper
should be the only possible behavior change. It seems to test as
behaving the same.
Note that seekHelper dummies up the SeekInput in the case where
segmentPaths' gives up on sorting the expanded paths because there are
too many input paths. When SeekInput later gets exposed as a json field,
that will result in it being a little bit wrong in the case where
100 or more paths are passed to a git-annex command. I think this is a
subtle enough problem to not matter. If it does turn out to be a
problem, fixing it would require splitting up the input
parameters into groups of < 100, which would make git ls-files run
perhaps more than is necessary. May want to revisit this, because that
fix seems fairly low-impact.
Make all calls to git merge go through autoMergeFrom, in preparation

Fixes reversion in 8.20200617 that made annex.pidlock being enabled result
in some commands stalling, particularly those needing to autoinit.
Renamed runsGitAnnexChildProcess to make clearer where it should be
used.
Arguably, it would be better to have a way to make any process git-annex
runs have the env var set. But then it would need to take the pid lock
when running any and all processes, and that would be a problem when
git-annex runs two processes concurrently. So, I'm left doing it ad-hoc
in places where git-annex really does run a child process, directly
or indirectly via a particular git command.
Part of workTreeItems is trying detect a case
where git porcelain refuses to process a file, and where
git ls-files silently outputs nothing. But, it's hard to perfectly
replicate git's behavior, and besides, git's behavior could change.
So it could be that we warn, but then git ls-files does not skip over
it, and so git-annex also processes it after warning about it.
So, if we think we have a problem with a parameter, display the warning,
and skip processing it at all.
Implementing this was complicated by needing to handle the case where
all command-line parameters get filtered out this way. Which is
different than the case where there are none, because we don't want to
operate on all files in this new case..
This is only implemented for git-annex get so far. It makes git-annex
get nearly twice as fast in a repo with 10k files, all of them present!
But, see the TODO for some caveats.
Only supported by some special remotes: directory
I need to check the rest and they're currently missing methods until I do.
git-annex sync --no-content does not yet use this to do imports
Added annex.skipunknown git config, that can be set to false to change the
behavior of commands like `git annex get foo*`, to not skip over files/dirs
that are not checked into git and are explicitly listed in the command
line.
Significant complexity was needed to handle git-annex add, which uses some
git ls-files calls, but needs to not use --error-unmatch because of course
the files are not known to git.
annex.skipunknown is planned to change to default to false in a
git-annex release in early 2022. There's a todo for that.
move --to, copy --to, mirror --to: When concurrency is enabled, run cleanup
actions in separate job pool from uploads.
transferStages was confusingly named, it's only useful when doing downloads
as then the verify actions can be run concurrently with other downloads.
For commands that upload, there will be more concurrency from running
cleanup actions in a separate job pool.
As for sync, I left it using downloadStages although that's not optimal
for the part of a sync that uploads. Perhaps it should use the union of
both?
Now the warning gets displayed, which is better than an arcane git error.
The warning is still kind of ugly, especially when the pull later in the
sync will clear up what it warns about. But, this is an unusual situation
not likely to happen, and if there is no remote to pull from, the warning
message is needed or the sync will seem to succeed despite not merging the
synced master branch.
Would still be better if it could merge the synced master branch in this
situation, making an empty commit to master to do it seems wrong, and
otherwise it would need a whole separate code path, and would bypass using
git merge in favor of say, setting master to the syned branch. Which would
bypass git configs like arguably merge.ff and certianly
merge.verifySignatures. So don't want to do that.
Do not sync with a faster remote that was not specified.
That old behavior was only documented in the changelog, and was certianly
surprising. It also meant adding --fast made it slower..
Avoid repeatedly opening keys db when accessing a local git remote and -J
is used.
What was happening was that Remote.Git.onLocal created a new annex state
as each thread started up. The way the MVar was used did not prevent that.
And that, in turn, led to repeated opening of the keys db, as well as
probably other extra work or resource use.
Also managed to get rid of Annex.remoteannexstate, and it turned out there
was an unncessary Maybe in the keysdbhandle, since the handle starts out
closed.
Improve git-annex's ability to find the path to its program, especially
when it needs to run itself in another repo to upgrade it.
Some parts of the code used readProgramFile, probably because I forgot that
programPath exists.
I noticed this when a git-annex auto-upgrade failed because it was running
git-annex upgrade --autoonly, but the code to run git-annex used
readProgramFile, which happened to point to an older build of git-annex.
remoteAnnexConfig will avoid bugs like

Use now more generic remoteConfig in a couple places that built
non-annex config settings manually before.
That was added back in 2013 commit 2af652e1b8
and I'm a bit unclear about the reasons.
It seemed that, at the time, receive.denyNonFastforwards=true, which is
the default in a repo created by git init --shared --bare (but not
without --shared), which the assistant did, caused problems syncing.
But even at the time the bug report showed an error message clearly
explaining that it was a non-fast-forward push being denied.
I tried it with the current version, and since git-annex sync pulls
from the bare repo and merges, it pushes a fast-forward. So there's no
failure to push. (There could be one if another push happened after the
pull, but you'd want it to fail then presumably.)
I'm not 100% sure what changed to make it not be a problem, but I know
I've seen this message in many circumstances and I can't ever recall it
having anything to do with any issue that prevented a push.
Based on doc/forum/non_fast_forward_error_with_git_annex_sync.mdwn,
which showed the problem when syncing from a direct mode repo,
and on doc/forum/receiving_indirect_renames_on_direct_repo___63__/comment_3_0246fff6c7c75f6be45bd257ec3872a5._comment
which seems to show the problem was actually a problem pulling,
I think there's a good chance that the problem actually involved direct
mode.
* Added sync --only-annex, which syncs the git-annex branch and annexed
content but leaves managing the other git branches up to you.
* Added annex.synconlyannex git config setting, which can also be set with
git-annex config to configure sync in all clones of the repo.
Use case is then the user has their own git workflow, and wants to use
git-annex without disrupting that, so they sync --only-annex to get the
git-annex stuff in sync in addition to their usual git workflow.
When annex.synconlyannex is set, --not-only-annex can be used to override
it.
It's not entirely clear what --only-annex --commit or --only-annex
--push should do, and I left that combination not documented because I
don't know if I might want to change the current behavior, which is that
such options do not override the --only-annex. My gut feeling is that
there is no good reasons to use such combinations; if you want to use
your own git workflow, you'll be doing your own committing and pulling
and pushing.
A subtle question is, how should import/export special remotes be handled?
Importing updates their remote tracking branch and merges it into master.
If --only-annex prevented that git branch stuff, then it would prevent
exporting to the special remote, in the case where it has changes that
were not imported yet, because there would be a unresolved conflict.
I decided that it's best to treat the fact that there's a remote tracking
branch for import/export as an implementation detail in this case. The more
important thing is that an import/export special remote is entirely annexed
content, and so it makes a lot of sense that --only-annex will still sync
with it.
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.
The code is only needed because for a long time, git-annex didn't
install hooks in repos on crippled filesystems. Now it does, and they
work at least on FAT (where all files are executable) and Windows.
It would be possible to remove this code in v8 simply by re-installing
the hooks.
