Reading from the cidsdb is responsible for about 25% of the runtime of
an import. Since the cidmap is used to store the same information in
ram, the cidsdb is not written to during an import any longer. And so,
if it started off empty (and updateFromLog wasn't needed), those reads
can just be skipped.
This is kind of a cheesy optimisation, since after any import from any
special remote, the database will no longer be empty, so it's a single
use optimisation. But it's probably not uncommon to start by importing a
lot of files, and it can save a lot of time then.

Propagate Annex.force into the remote's Annex state.
Fixes this problem:
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxxx>git-annex copy mmm --to origin --force
copy mmm (to origin...)
not enough free space, need 908.72 MB more (use --force to override this check or adjust annex.diskreserve)
failed to send content to remote
failed
Does beg the question if anything else should be propagated.
Some things like Annex.forcenumcopies certianly not; using --numcopies
overrides the number of copies the current repo wants, not all of them.

enableremote: Support enableremote of a git remote (that was previously set
up with initremote) when additional parameters such as autoenable= are
passed.
The enableremote special case for regular git repos is intended to handle
ones that don't have a UUID probed, and the user wants git-annex to
re-probe. So, that special case is still needed. But, in that special
case, the user is not passing any extra parameters. So, when there are
parameters, instead run the special remote setup code. That requires there
to be a uuid known already, and it allows changing things like autoenable=
Remote.Git.enableRemote changed to be a no-op if a git remote with the name
already exists. Which it generally will in this case.

Converted warning and similar to use StringContainingQuotedPath. Most
warnings are static strings, some do refer to filepaths that need to be
quoted, and others don't need quoting.
Note that, since quote filters out control characters of even
UnquotedString, this makes all warnings safe, even when an attacker
sneaks in a control character in some other way.
When json is being output, no quoting is done, since json gets its own
quoting.
This does, as a side effect, make warning messages in json output not

error still does not, but it should only be used for internal errors,
where the message is not attacker-controlled.
Changed a lot of existing error to giveup when it is not strictly an
internal error.
Of course, other exceptions can still be thrown, either by code in
git-annex, or a library, that include some attacker-controlled value.
This does not guard against those.

That is a legal url, but parseUrl parses it to "/c:/path"
which is not a valid path on Windows. So as a workaround, use
parseURIPortable everywhere, which removes the leading slash when
run on windows.
Note that if an url is parsed like this and then serialized back
to a string, it will be different from the input. Which could
potentially be a problem, but is probably not in practice.
An alternative way to do it would be to have an uriPathPortable
that fixes up the path after parsing. But it would be harder to
make sure that is used everywhere, since uriPath is also used
when constructing an URI.
It's also worth noting that System.FilePath.normalize "/c:/path"
yields "c:/path". The reason I didn't use it is that it also
may change "/" to "\" in the path and I wanted to keep the url
changes minimal. Also noticed that convertToWindowsNativeNamespace
handles "/c:/path" the same as "c:/path".

Such an url is not valid; parseURI will fail on it. But git-annex doesn't
actually need to parse the url, because all it needs to do to support
syncing with it is know that it's not a local path, and use git pull and
push.
(Note that there is no good reason for the user to use such an url. An
absolute url is valid and I patched git-remote-gcrypt to support them
years ago. Still, users gonna do anything that tools allow, and
git-remote-gcrypt still supports them.)

Works around this bug in unix-compat:
https://github.com/jacobstanley/unix-compat/issues/56
getFileStatus and other FilePath using functions in unix-compat do not do
UNC conversion on Windows.
Made Utility.RawFilePath use convertToWindowsNativeNamespace to do the
necessary conversion on windows to support long filenames.
Audited all imports of System.PosixCompat.Files to make sure that no
functions that operate on FilePath were imported from it. Instead, use
the equvilants from Utility.RawFilePath. In particular the
re-export of that module in Common had to be removed, which led to lots
of other changes throughout the code.
The changes to Build.Configure, Build.DesktopFile, and Build.TestConfig
make Utility.Directory not be needed to build setup. And so let it use
Utility.RawFilePath, which depends on unix, which cannot be in
setup-depends.

path to a bare repo when git config is not allowed to list the configs
due to the CVE-2022-24765 fix.
That resulted in a confusing error message, and prevented the nice
message that explains how to mark the repo as safe to use.
Made isBare a tristate so that the case where core.bare is not returned can
be handled.
The handling in updateLocation is to check if the directory
contains config and objects and if so assume it's bare.
Note that if that heuristic is somehow wrong, it would construct a repo
that thinks it's bare but is not. That could cause follow-on problems,
but since git-annex then checks checkRepoConfigInaccessible, and skips
using the repo anyway, a wrong guess should not be a problem.

When a web special remote does not have urlinclude/urlexclude
configured, make it respect the configuration of other web special
remotes and avoid using urls that match the config of another.
Note that the other web special remote does not have to be enabled.
That seems ok, it would have been extra work to check for only ones that
are enabled.
The implementation does mean that the web special remote re-parses
its own config once at startup, as well as re-parsing the configs of any
other web special remotes. This should be a very small slowdown
unless there are lots of web special remotes.

AFAICS all git-annex builds are using the git-lfs library not the vendored
copy.
Debian stable does have a too old haskell-git-lfs package to be able to
build git-annex from source, but there is not currently a backport of a
recent git-annex to Debian stable. And if they update the backport at some
point, they should be able to backport the library too.

The only one of these that I've confirmed to be a problem is in the
bittorrent special remote when .git/annex/tmp and .git/annex/othertmp are
on different filesystems.
As well as auditing for renameFile, also audited for createLink, all of
those are ok as are the other remaining renameFile calls. Also audited all
code paths that use .git/annex/othertmp, and did not find any other
cross-device problems. So, removing mention of othertmp needing to be on

The flush was only done Annex.run' to make sure that the queue was flushed
before git-annex exits. But, doing it there means that as soon as one
change gets queued, it gets flushed soon after, which contributes to
excessive writes to the database, slowing git-annex down.
(This does not yet speed git-annex up, but it is a stepping stone to
doing so.)
Database queues do not autoflush when garbage collected, so have to
be flushed explicitly. I don't think it's possible to make them
autoflush (except perhaps if git-annex sqitched to using ResourceT..).
The comment in Database.Keys.closeDb used to be accurate, since the
automatic flushing did mean that all writes reached the database even
when closeDb was not called. But now, closeDb or flushDb needs to be
called before stopping using an Annex state. So, removed that comment.
In Remote.Git, change to using quiesce everywhere that it used to use
stopCoProcesses. This means that uses on onLocal in there are just as
slow as before. I considered only calling closeDb on the local git remotes
when git-annex exits. But, the reason that Remote.Git calls stopCoProcesses
in each onLocal is so as not to leave git processes running that have files
open on the remote repo, when it's on removable media. So, it seemed to make
sense to also closeDb after each one, since sqlite may also keep files
open. Although that has not seemed to cause problems with removable
media so far. It was also just easier to quiesce in each onLocal than
once at the end. This does likely leave performance on the floor, so
could be revisited.
In Annex.Content.saveState, there was no reason to close the db,
flushing it is enough.
The rest of the changes are from auditing for Annex.new, and making
sure that quiesce is called, after any action that might possibly need
it.
After that audit, I'm pretty sure that the change to Annex.run' is
safe. The only concern might be that this does let more changes get
queued for write to the db, and if git-annex is interrupted, those will be
lost. But interrupting git-annex can obviously already prevent it from
writing the most recent change to the db, so it must recover from such
lost data... right?

Improve handling of directory special remotes with importtree=yes whose
ignoreinode setting has been changed. (By either enableremote or by
upgrading to commit 3e2f1f73cbc5fc10475745b3c3133267bd1850a7.)
When getting a file from such a remote, accept the content that would have
been accepted with the previous ignoreinode setting.
After a change to ignoreinode, importing a tree from the remote will
re-import and generate new content identifiers using the new config. So
when ignoreinode has changed to no, the inodes will be learned, and after
that point, a change in an inode will be detected as a change. Before
re-importing, a change in an inode will be ignored, as it was before the
ignoreinode change. This seems acceptble, because the user can re-import
immediately if they urgently need to add inodes. And if not, they'll
do it sometime, presumably, and the change will take effect then.

autoEnableSpecialRemotes runs a subprocess, and if the uuid for a git
remote has not been probed yet, that will do a http get that will prompt
for a password. And then the parent process will subsequently prompt
for a password when getting annexed files from the remote.
So the solution is for autoEnableSpecialRemotes to run remoteList before
the subprocess, which will probe for the uuid for the git remote in the
same process that will later be used to get annexed files.
But, Remote.Git imports Annex.Init, and Remote.List imports Remote.Git,
so Annex.Init cannot import Remote.List. Had to pass remoteList into
functions in Annex.Init to get around this dependency loop.
Fix crash importing from a directory special remote that contains a broken
symlink.
The crash was in listImportableContentsM but some other places in
Remote.Directory also seemed like they could have the same problem.
Also audited for other places that have such a problem. Not all calls
to getFileStatus are bad, in some cases it's better to crash on something
unexpected. For example, `git-annex import path` when the path is a broken
symlink should crash, the same as when it does not exist. Many of the
getFileStatus calls are like that, particularly when they involve
.git/annex/objects which should never have a broken symlink in it.
Fixed a few other possible cases of the problem.
