gcrypt needs to be able to fast-forward the master branch. If a git
repository is set up with git init --shared --bare, it gets that set, and
pushing to it will then fail, even when it's up-to-date.
This pulls off quite a nice trick: When given a path on rsync.net, it
determines if it is an encrypted git repository that the user has
the key to decrypt, and merges with it. This is works even when
the local repository had no idea that the gcrypt remote exists!
(As previously done with local drives.)

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
Now that this is handled correctly, git-annex can be used in git submodules.
Also, fixed infelicity where Git.CurrentRepo and Git.Config.updateLocation
were both dealing with core.worktree. Now updateLocation handles it for
Local as well as for LocalUnknown repos.
Make Utility.Process wrap the parts of System.Process that I use,
and add debug logging to them.
Also wrote some higher-level code that allows running an action
with handles to a processes stdin or stdout (or both), and checking
its exit status, all in a single function call.
As a bonus, the debug logging now indicates whether the process
is being run to read from it, feed it data, chat with it (writing and
reading), or just call it for its side effect.
Test suite now passes with -threaded!
I traced back all the hangs with -threaded to System.Cmd.Utils. It seems
it's just crappy/unsafe/outdated, and should not be used. System.Process
seems to be the cool new thing, so converted all the code to use it
instead.
In the process, --debug stopped printing commands it runs. I may try to
bring that back later.
Note that even SafeSystem was switched to use System.Process. Since that
was a modified version of code from System.Cmd.Utils, it needed to be
converted too. I also got rid of nearly all calls to forkProcess,
and all calls to executeFile, which I'm also doubtful about working
well with -threaded.
Accept arbitrarily encoded repository filepaths etc when reading git config
output. This fixes support for remotes with unusual characters in their
names.
For example, a remote with a url of /tmp/çüş was previously
skipped, because the filename wasn't encoded right so it didn't think it
was available. And when setting the annex-uuid of a remote named "çüş",
it used to add it under a mis-encoded form of the remote's name. Both these
cases now work ok in my testing.
Avoid more expensive code path when no core.worktree is configured.
Don't change worktree when reading config if one is already set.
This could happen if GIT_CORE_WORKTREE is set, and the repo also has
core.worktree, and the config is reread. Now GIT_CORE_WORKTREE will
prevail.
The environment needs to override git-config. Changed when git config is
read, and avoid rereading it once it's been read.
chdir for both worktree settings.
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.
This overrides the trust.log, and is overridden by the command-line trust
parameters.
It would have been nicer to have Logs.Trust.trustMap just look up the
configuration for all remotes, but a dependency loop prevented that
(Remotes depends on Logs.Trust in several ways). So instead, look up
the configuration when building remotes, storing it in the same forcetrust
field used for the command-line trust parameters.
With --fast, unavailable local remotes are filtered out of the fast set.
This way, if there are local remotes, --fast always acts only on them,
and if none are mounted, acts on nothing. This consistency is better
than --fast acting on different remotes depending on what's mounted.
Consider this git config --list case:
url.git+ssh://git@example.com/.insteadOf=gl
url.git+ssh://git@example.com/.insteadOf=shared
Since config is stored in a Map, only the last of the values for this key
was stored and available for use by the insteadOf code. But that
is wrong; git allows either "gl" or "shared" to be used in an url and
the insteadOf value to be substituted in.
To support this, it seems best to keep the existing config map as-is,
and add a second map that accumulates a list of multiple values for
config keys. This new fullconfig map can be used in the rare places where
multiple values for a key make sense, without needing to complicate
everything else.
Haskell's laziness and data sharing keep the overhead of adding
this second map low.
A crash on parsing was fixed a while ago. This adds support for fully
correctly parsing multiline git config values, using git config --null.
Since git-annex-shell configlist uses normal git config output, I left in
support for that too; the two forms of config output can be easily
identified by the parser. Since configlist only prints the annex.uuid
config, there's no risk of multiline values there, so no need to change it.
