Optimised git-annex branch log file timestamp parsing. 10% speedup
This sped up git annex find --not --in web from 6.64s to 5.69s.
The optimised parser is probably more like 50% faster than the general one
it replaced.

get, move, copy, mirror: Added --failed switch which retries failed copies/moves
Note that get --from foo --failed will get things that a previous get --from bar
tried and failed to get, etc. I considered making --failed only retry
transfers from the same remote, but it was easier, and seems more useful,
to not have the same remote requirement.

Noisy due to some refactoring into Types/

Split lines in the git-annex branch on \r as well as \n, to deal with \r\n terminated lines written by some versions of git-annex on Windows.
This fixes strange displays in some cases, including whereis showing
many duplicate locations, and showing more total copies than actually
exist.

It's unknown if that lead to data loss when eg, dropping. At the moment,
it seems unlikely it could, since the UUID with \r's appended is not the
same as a UUID without, and so no remote matches it.

It's also unknown if \r's can leak in on windows, perhaps when merging the
git-annex branch.

Avoid unncessary write to the location log when a file is unlocked and then added back with unchanged content.
Implemented with no additional overhead of compares etc.

This is safe to do for presence logs because of their locality of change;
a given repo's presence logs are only ever changed in that repo, or in a
repo that has just been actively changing the content of that repo.

So, we don't need to worry about a split-brain situation where there'd
be disagreement about the location of a key in a repo. And so, it's ok to
not update the timestamp when that's the only change that would be made
due to logging presence info.

5c960601aa 4 ns optimisation of repeated calls to hasDifference on the same Differences
I want this as fast as possible, so it can be added to code paths without
slowing them down.

Avoid the set lookup, and rely on laziness,
drops runtime from 14.37 ns to 11.03 ns according to this criterion benchmark:

import Criterion.Main
import qualified Types.Difference as New
import qualified Types.DifferenceOld as Old

main :: IO ()
main = defaultMain
	[ bgroup "hasDifference"
		[ bench "new" $ whnf (New.hasDifference New.OneLevelObjectHash) new
		, bench "old" $ whnf (Old.hasDifference Old.OneLevelObjectHash) old
		]
	]
  where
	s = "fromList [ObjectHashLower, OneLevelObjectHash, OneLevelBranchHash]"
	new = New.readDifferences s
	old = Old.readDifferences s

A little bit of added boilerplate, but I suppose it's worth it to not
need to worry about set lookup overhead. Note that adding more differences
would slow down the old implementation; the new implementation will run
the same speed.

53ede1a10e parse X in location log file as indicating a dead key
A dead key is both not present at the location that thinks it has a copy,
and also is assumed to probably not be present anywhere else. Although
there may be lurking disconnected repos that somehow still have a copy.

Suprisingly few changes needed for this! This is because the presence log
code only really concerns itself with keys that are present, and dead keys
are not present.

Note that both the location and web log can be parsed as having a dead key.
I don't see any value to having keys listed as dead in the web log, but
since it doesn't change any behavior, there was no point in not parsing it.

ecb0d5c087 use lock pools throughout git-annex
The one exception is in Utility.Daemon. As long as a process only
daemonizes once, which seems reasonable, and as long as it avoids calling
checkDaemon once it's already running as a daemon, the fcntl locking
gotchas won't be a problem there.

Annex.LockFile has it's own separate lock pool layer, which has been
renamed to LockCache. This is a persistent cache of locks that persist
until closed.

This is not quite done; lockContent stil needs to be converted.

643b233860 an optimization that also fixes a reversion
This is a little optimisation; avoid loading the info file for the
download of the current key when checking for other downloads.

The reversion it fixes is sorta strange.
a812d598ef broke checking for transfers
that were already in progress. Indeed, the transfer lock was not held
after getTransfers was called.

Why? I think it's magic in ghc's handling of getLock and setLock,
although it's hard to tell since those functions are almost entirely
undocumented as to their semantics.

Something, either the RTS (or maybe it's linux?) notices that the
same process has taken a lock and is now calling getLock on a FD attached
to the same file. So, it drops the lock.

So, this optimisation avoids that problematic behavior.

6045406deb Added SETURIPRESENT and SETURIMISSING to external special remote protocol
Useful for things like ipfs that don't use regular urls.

An external special remote can add a regular url to a key, and then
git-annex get will download it from the web. But for ipfs, we want to
instead tell git-annex that the uri uses OtherDownloader. Before this
change, the external special remote protocol lacked a way to do that.

ba3825441c rework Differences data type
Eliminated complexity and future proofed. The most important change is that
all functions over Difference are now total; any Difference that can be
expressed should be handled. Avoids needs for sanity checking of inputs,
and version skew with the future.

Also, the difference.log now serializes a [Difference], not a Differences.
This saves space and keeps it simpler.

Note that [Difference] might contain conflicting differences (eg,
[Version5, Version6]. In this case, one of them needs to consistently win
over the others, probably based on Ord.

589a048a7d fix addurl behavior when location and url logs are inconsistent
The url log could have an url for a key, while the location log thinks it's
not present in the web. In this case, addurl --file url would not do
anything. Fixed it to re-add the web as a location.

I don't know how this situation could arise, but I saw it in the wild in
the conference_proceedings repo, affecting key
URL-s17806003--http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2014/Wednesday/53-Building_Effective_Alliances_around_the_Trans-Pacific_Partnershi-c0505b631127ccc67e38e637344d988e
Investigating the presence log, it looked like that key
was originally listed as present in the web, then in commit
56abf9e9f3e691ed9d83513037d4019313321ca3 someone else's git-annex
set it and some other things to not present in the web. It would be
interesting to know what that user did, but I doubt I'll be able to find
out. All I can tell from this investigation is that the inconsistency was
not introduced when originally addurl-ing the url.

59eae904b1 final scary locking refactoring (for now)
Note that while before checkTransfer this called getLock with WriteLock,
getLockStatus's use of ReadLock will also notice any exclusive locks.

there is no behavior change.

c784ef4586 unify exception handling into Utility.Exception
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.

d0c1a22e7c import metadata from feeds
When annex.genmetadata is set, metadata from the feed is added to files
that are imported from it.

Reused the same feedtitle and itemtitle, feedauthor, itemauthor, etc names
that are used in --template.

Also added title and author, which are the item title/author if available,
falling back to the feed title/author. These are more likely to be common
metadata fields.

(There is a small bit of dupication here, but once git gets
around to packing the object, it will compress it away.)

The itempubdate field is not included in the metadata as a string; instead
it is used to generate year and month fields, same as is done when adding
files with annex.genmetadata set.

c00b459f3a unused: Avoid checking view branches for unused files.
This avoids a potential slowdown when using lots of views.

I think that it makes sense for unused to ignore (local) view branches,
since these are by definition supposed to be views of an existing branch,
so looking at the branch should be sufficient (and if the view is out of
date and has files that have since been deleted from the branch, the user's
intent is not to preserve those from unused reaping).

9eaabf0382 webapp: avoid overwriting remote configs when enabling it
Avoid stomping on existing group and preferred content settings
when enabling or combining with an already existing remote.

Two level fix. First, use defaultStandardGroup rather than
setStandardGroup, so if there is an existing configuration in the git-annex
branch, it's not overwritten.

To handle pre-existing ssh remotes (including gcrypt), a second level is
needed, because before syncing with the remote, it's configuration won't be
available locally. (And syncing could take a long time.) So, in this case,
keep track of whether the remote is being created or enabled, and only set
configs when creating it.

caa97d1271 Each for each metadata field, there's now an automatically maintained "$field-lastchanged" that gives the timestamp of the last change to that field.
Note that this is a nearly entirely free feature. The data was already

parsed to a time when parsing the log. The generation of the metadata
fields may even be done lazily, although probably not entirely (the map
has to be evaulated to when queried).

431d805a96 factored out a generic MapLog from uuid-based logs
UUIDBased is just a MapLog with a UUID for the field.

3551d40b05 "standard" can now be used as a first-class keyword in preferred content expressions.
For example "standard or (include=otherdir/*)" or even "not standard"

Note that the implementation avoids any potential for loops (if a
standard preferred content expression itself mentioned standard).

Not very well tested, but I'm sure it doesn't eg, loop forever.

c2e8c21ca6 view, vfilter: Add support for filtering tags and values out of a view, using !tag and field!=value.
Note that negated globs are not supported. Would have complicated the code
to add them, without changing the data type serialization in a
non-backwards-compatable way.

a1432bce2f Put non-object tmp files in .git/annex/misctmp, leaving .git/annex/tmp for only partially transferred objects.
This allows eg, putting .git/annex/tmp on a ram disk, if the disk IO
of temp object files is too annoying (and if you don't want to keep
partially transferred objects across reboots).

.git/annex/misctmp must be on the same filesystem as the git work tree,
since files are moved to there in a way that will not work cross-device,
as well as symlinked into there.

I first wanted to put the tmp objects in .git/annex/objects/tmp, but
that would pose transition problems on upgrade when partially transferred
objects existed.

git annex info does not currently show the size of .git/annex/misctemp,
since it should stay small. It would also be ok to make something clean it
out, periodically.

8d5158fa31 Preserve metadata when staging a new version of an annexed file.
Performance impact: When adding a large tree of new files, this needs
to do some git cat-file queries to check if any of the files already
existed and might need a metadata copy. I tried a benchmark in a copy
of my sound repository (so there was already a significant git tree
to check against.

Adding 10000 small files, with a cold cache:
  before: 1m48.539s
  after:  1m52.791s

So, impact is 0.0004 seconds per file added. Which seems acceptable, so did
not add some kind of configuration to enable/disable this.

Just having "_" for tags=* turned out to be too hard to understand.

Note that this invalidaes all current views.

dd7b99c860 add tip about metadata driven views (and more flexible view filtering)
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.

39ebfa1a2e pre-commit: Update metadata when committing changes to annexed files within a view.
So the user can now switch to a view and then move files around within it
to manage metadata. For example, moving a file into a new directory
when in the tags=* view adds a tag to it.

Implementation is fairly efficient. One diff-index, which is no more
expensive than the first stage of a git commit, followed by possibly
some cat-file --batch traffic to find the key (when deleting a file).
Very similar to what's done in direct mode when committing. And like
direct mode when updating the WC after a merge, it has to buffer the
diff-tree values in order to make 2 passes over them.

When not in a view, pre-commit now does one extra git symbolic-ref,
which is tiny overhead.

4e0be2792b remove Read instance for Ref
Removed instance, got it all to build using fromRef. (With a few things
that really need to show something using a ref for debugging stubbed out.)

Then added back Read instance, and made Logs.View use it for serialization.
This changes the view log format.
