Backend.lookupFile is changed to always fall back to catKey when
operating on a file that's not a symlink.
catKey is changed to understand pointer files, as well as annex symlinks.
Before, catKey needed a file mode witness, to be sure it was looking at a
symlink. That was complicated stuff. Now, it doesn't actually care if a
file in git is a symlink or not; in either case asking git for the content
of the file will get the pointer to the key.
This does mean that git-annex will treat a link
foo -> WORM--bar as a git-annex file, and also treats
a regular file containing annex/objects/WORM--bar as a git-annex file.
Calling catKey could make git-annex commands need to do more work than
before. This would especially be the case if a repo contained many regular
files, and only a few annexed files, as now git-annex will need to ask
git about the contents of the regular files.
The git filter config can be used to map the single git-annex command to
the 2 actions, and this avoids "git annex clean" being used for this thing,
it might have a better use for that name later.
Commands that want to use it have to run their seek action inside
allowConcurrentOutput. Which seems reasonable; perhaps some future command
will want to support the -J flag but not use regions.
The region state moved from Annex to MessageState. This makes sense
organizationally, and note that some uses of onLocal use a different Annex
state, but pass the MessageState into it, which is what is needed.
This was potentially a hole in the readonly mode armor even before my last
commit. If the user could push a git-annex branch to a repo, they could get
git-annex-shell to initialize the repo. After my last commit, the user
didn't even need to be allowed to push a branch to init the repo, so
this hole certianly needs to be closed now.
Now it suffices to run git remote add, followed by git-annex sync. Now the
remote is automatically initialized for use by git-annex, where before the
git-annex branch had to manually be pushed before using git-annex sync.
Note that this involved changes to git-annex-shell, so if the remote is
using an old version, the manual push is still needed.
Implementation required git-annex-shell be changed, so configlist can
autoinit a repository even when no git-annex branch has been pushed yet.
Unfortunate because we'll have to wait for it to get deployed to servers
before being able to rely on this change in the documentation.
Did consider making git-annex sync push the git-annex branch to repos that
didn't have a uuid, but this seemed difficult to do without complicating it
in messy ways.
It would be cleaner to split a command out from configlist to handle
the initialization. But this is difficult without sacrificing backwards
compatability, for users of old git-annex versions which would not use the
new command.
Work around https://github.com/pcapriotti/optparse-applicative/issues/146
by not using action "file" and instead passing -o bashdefault -o default
to complete. This way, when optparse fails to complete a filename, bash
will fall back to regular filename completion.
Unfortunately, optparse-applicative does not provide a way to control the
options passed to complete, so I had to modify its generated completion script.
Note that for "git annex" command completion, git's completion script already
used -o bashdefault -o default, so that works too.
Note that I ran into a problem where parsing the global options looped
forever, eating memory. It was somehow caused by stacking
combineGlobalSetters inside a combineGlobalSetters. Maybe due to both
using "many"? Anyway, changed things to avoid that.
This is a work in progress. It compiles and is able to do basic command
dispatch, including git autocorrection, while using optparse-applicative
for the core commandline parsing.
* Many commands are temporarily disabled before conversion.
* Options are not wired in yet.
* cmdnorepo actions don't work yet.
Also, removed the [Command] list, which was only used in one place.
This works, and seems fairly robust. Clean get of 20 files at -J3. At -J10,
there are some messages about ssh multiplexing, probably due to a race
spinning up the ssh connection cacher. But, it manages to get all the files
ok regardless.
The progress bars are a scrambled mess though, due to bugs in
ascii-progress, which I've already filed. Particularly this one:
https://github.com/yamadapc/haskell-ascii-progress/issues/8
This will only ever result in a few more git-ls-files being run than were run
before. (Only 1 more is really needed, but around 10 more are currently run
for a max length command line.)
So, no need to worry about the extra zombie, or lost laziness due to concat.
* sync: Use the ssh-options git config when doing git pull and push.
* remotedaemon: Use the ssh-options git config.
Note that the rename env var means that if a new git-annex calls an old one
for git-annex ssh, or a new calls an old, nothing much will go wrong;
just ssh caching won't happen.

Unfortunately, this caused breakage on Windows, and possibly elsewhere,
because parentDir and takeDirectory do not behave the same when there is a
trailing directory separator.
parentDir is less safe than takeDirectory, especially when working
with relative FilePaths. It's really only useful in loops that
want to terminate at /

This allows bypassing the direct mode guard in a safe way to do all sorts

I had hoped that the git devs could change git's handling of partial
commits to not use a false index file, but seems not.
So, this relies on some git internals to detect that case. The test suite
has a test case added to catch it if changes to git break it.

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.
Removed old extensible-exceptions, only needed for very old ghc.
Made webdav use Utility.Exception, to work after some changes in DAV's
exception handling.
Removed Annex.Exception. Mostly this was trivial, but note that
tryAnnex is replaced with tryNonAsync and catchAnnex replaced with
catchNonAsync. In theory that could be a behavior change, since the former
caught all exceptions, and the latter don't catch async exceptions.
However, in practice, nothing in the Annex monad uses async exceptions.
Grepping for throwTo and killThread only find stuff in the assistant,
which does not seem related.
Command.Add.undo is changed to accept a SomeException, and things
that use it for rollback now catch non-async exceptions, rather than
only IOExceptions.
This only performs some basic tests so far; no testing of chunking or
resuming. Also, the existing encryption type of the remote is used; it
would be good later to derive an encrypted and a non-encrypted version of
the remote and test them both.

To use, set GIT_ANNEX_SSHASKPASS to point to a fifo or regular file
(FIFO is better, avoids touching disk or multiple readers) that contains
the password. Then set SSH_ASKPASS=git-annex, and when ssh runs it, it will
tell ssh the password.
This is not yet used..
For sync, saves 1 ssh connection per remote. For remotedaemon, the same
ssh connection that is already open to run git-annex-shell notifychanges
is reused to pull from the remote.
Only potential problem is that this also enables connection caching
when the assistant syncs with a ssh remote. Including the sync it does
when a network connection has just come up. In that case, cached ssh
connections are likely to be stale, and so using them would hang.
Until I'm sure such problems have been dealt with, this commit needs to
stay on the remotecontrol branch, and not be merged to master.

So far, handling connecting to git-annex-shell notifychanges, and
pulling immediately when a change is pushed to a remote.
A little bit buggy (crashes after the first pull), but it already works!

This will be used by the remote-daemon to quickly tell when changes have
been pushed from some other repository into a ssh remote.
Adjusted the remote-daemon protocol to communicate changed shas, rather
than git branch refs. This way, it can easily check if a sha is new.

While writing this documentation, I realized that there needed to be a way
to stay in a view like tag=* while adding a filter like tag=work that
applies to the same field.
So, there are really two ways a view can be refined. It can have a new
"field=explicitvalue" filter added to it, which does not change the
"shape" of the view, but narrows the files it shows.
Or, it can have a new view added, which adds another level of
subdirectories.
So, added a vfilter command, which takes explicit values to add to the
filter, and rejects changes that would change the shape of the view.
And, made vadd only accept changes that change the shape of the view.
And, changed the View data type slightly; now components that can match
multiple metadata values can be visible, or not visible.
This commit was sponsored by Stelian Iancu.
(And a vpop command, which is still a bit buggy.)
Still need to do vadd and vrm, though this also adds their documentation.
Currently not very happy with the view log data serialization. I had to
lose the TDFA regexps temporarily, so I can have Read/Show instances of
View. I expect the view log format will change in some incompatable way
later, probably adding last known refs for the parent branch to View
or something like that.
Anyway, it basically works, although it's a bit slow looking up the
metadata. The actual git branch construction is about as fast as it can be
using the current git plumbing.

Adds metadata log, and command.
Note that unsetting field values seems to currently be broken.
And in general this has had all of 2 minutes worth of testing.

Note that on Windows a remote with a path like /home/foo/bar
is interpreted by git as being some screwy relative path (relative to what
exactly seems ill-defined -- it seemed relative to C:\Program Files\Git\ in
my tests!) So no attempt has been made to handle such a path sanely, just not
to crash when encountering it.
Note that "C:\\foo" </> "/home/foo/bar" yields /home/foo/bar even though
that is not absolute! I don't know what to make of all this,
except that I will be very happy when this crock of **** vanishes from
the face of the earth.
