This reserves annex.ignore for repos that should not be visible at all;
repos with syncing disabled are now skipped by the assistant, but are
displayed in the list and can be configured.
I noticed this while offline (so that lack of solar power is good for something).
Apparently it tries to bind multicast to lo, and that fails.
If this happens, catch it, and retry until a real network interface becomes
available.
It may be that this should tie into the NetWatcher, and rebind whenever
an interface comes up. Needs testing..
I'm using transfer for most things, both removable drives and cloud
storage, because it's the safest choice. We'll see if it makes sense
to prompt for the group when setting this up, or let the user pick
something else after the fact.
webapp: Adds newly created repositories to one of these groups:
clients, drives, servers
This is heuristic, but it's a pretty good heuristic, and can always be
configured.
Both when queueing downloads, and uploads, consults the preferred content
settings.
I didn't make it check yet when requeing failed transfers or queuing
deferred downloads; dealing with the preferred content settings (or indeed,
other settings) changing while the assistant is running still needs work.
Makes it safe to use git annex unlock with the watcher/assistant.
And also to mix use of the watcher/assistant with regular files stored in git.
Long ago, I had avoided doing this check, except during the startup scan,
because it would be slow to run ls-files repeatedly.
But then I added the lsof check, and to make that fast, got it to detect
batch file adds. So let's move the ls-files check to also occur when it'll
have a batch, and can check them all with one call.
This does slow down adding a single file by just a bit, but really only
a little bit. (The lsof check is probably more expensive.) It also
speeds up the startup scan, especially when there are lots of new files
found by the scan.
Also, fixed the sleep for annex.delayadd to not run while the threadstate
lock is held, so it doesn't unnecessarily freeze everything else.
Also, --force no longer makes it skip the lsof check, which was not
documented, and seems never a good idea.
This was needed for the OSX self-contained app, but is a generally good
idea. It avoids needing perl; is probably faster; and could eventually
be replaced by something faster yet.
I put it in ~/.ssh/ because there's no reliable way to get it into PATH,
and OSX ssh doesn't even honor user's PATH by default.
authorized_keys generators will need to check if it's there. Not done yet.
This means that anyone serving up the webapp to users as a service
(ie, without providing any git-annex binary at all to the user) still needs
to provide a link to the source code for it, including any modifications
they may make.
This may make git-annex be covered by the AGPL as a whole when it is built
with the webapp. If in doubt, you should ask a lawyer.
When git-annex is built with the webapp disabled, no AGPLed code is used.
Even building in the assistant does not pull in AGPLed code.
This is handled differently for inotify, which can track modifications of
existing files, and kqueue, which cannot (TTBOMK). On the inotify side,
the TransferWatcher just waits for the file to be updated and reads the new
bytesComplete. On the kqueue side, the TransferPoller has to re-read the
file every update (currently 0.5 seconds, might need to increase that).
I did think about working around kqueue's limitations by somehow creating
a new file each time the size changed. But cleaning up all the files that
would result seemed difficult. And really, this is not a lot worse than
the TransferWatcher's behavior for downloads, which stats a file every 0.5
seconds. As long as the OS has decent file caching behavior..
cp is used here, but we can just watch the size of the destination file
