--backend is no longer a global option, and is only accepted by commands
that actually need it.
Three commands that used to support backend but don't any longer are
watch, webapp, and assistant. It would be possible to make them support it,
but I doubt anyone used the option with these. And in the case of webapp
and assistant, the option was handled inconsistently, only taking affect
when the command is run with an existing git-annex repo, not when it
creates a new one.
Also, renamed GlobalOption etc to AnnexOption. Because there are many
options of this type that are not actually global (any more) and get
added to commands that need them.

Adds a dependency on filepath-bytestring, an as yet unreleased fork of
filepath that operates on RawFilePath.
Git.Repo also changed to use RawFilePath for the path to the repo.
This does eliminate some RawFilePath -> FilePath -> RawFilePath
conversions. And filepath-bytestring's </> is probably faster.
But I don't expect a major performance improvement from this.
This is mostly groundwork for making Annex.Location use RawFilePath,
which will allow for a conversion-free pipleline.
This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
This is groundwork for nested seek loops, eg seeking over all files and
then performing commandActions on a list of remotes, which can be done
concurrently.

In some cases, unstaged changes are safe, eg dotfiles in the top which
are not affected by a view. Or non-annexed files in general which would
prevent view branch checkout from proceeding. But in other cases,
particularly unstaged changes to annexed files, entering a view would wipe
out those changes! And so don't allow entering a view with any unstaged
changes.
Staged changes are not safe when entering a view, because the changes get
committed to the view branch, and so the user is unlikely to remember them
when they exit the view, and so will effectively lose them, even if they're
still present in the view branch.
Also, improved the git status parser, although the improvement turned out
to not really be needed.

Added --json-error-messages option, which includes error messages in the
json output, rather than outputting them to stderr.
The actual rediretion of errors is not implemented yet, this is only
the docs and option plumbing.
This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
Keeping Text.JSON use for now, because it seems a better fit for most of
the commands, which don't use very structured JSON objects, but just output
whatever fields suites them. But this lets Aeson be used when a more
structured data type is available to serialize to JSON.
This allows things like Command.Find to use noMessages and generate their
own complete json objects. Previouly, Command.Find managed that only via a
hack, which wasn't compatable with batch mode.
Only Command.Find, Command.Smudge, and Commange.Status use noMessages
currently, and none except for Command.Find are impacted by this change.
Fixes find --json --batch output
Seems easy, but git ls-files can't list the right subset of files.
So, I wrote a whole new parser for git status output, and converted the
status command to use that.
There are a few other small behavior changes. The order changed. Unlocked
files show as T. In indirect mode, deleted files were not shown before, and
that's fixed. Regular files checked directly into git and modified
were not shown before, and are now.
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 is necessary for interop between inode caches created on unix and
windows. Which is more important than supporting inodecaches for large keys
with the wrong size, which are broken anyway.
There should be no slowdown from this change, except on Windows.
This allows the git repository to be moved while git-annex is running in
it, with fewer problems.
On Windows, this avoids some of the problems with the absurdly small
MAX_PATH of 260 bytes. In particular, git-annex repositories should
work in deeper/longer directory structures than before. See
http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/__34__git-annex:_direct:_1_failed__34___on_Windows/
There are several possible ways this change could break git-annex:
1. If it changes its working directory while it's running, that would
be Bad News. Good news everyone! git-annex never does so. It would also
break thread safety, so all such things were stomped out long ago.
2. parentDir "." -> "" which is not a valid path. I had to fix one
instace of this, and I should probably wipe all calls to parentDir out
of the git-annex code base; it was never a good idea.
3. Things like relPathDirToFile require absolute input paths,
and code assumes that the git repo path is absolute and passes it to it
as-is. In the case of relPathDirToFile, I converted it to not make
this assumption.
Currently, the test suite has 16 failures.
I've been disliking how the command seek actions were written for some
time, with their inversion of control and ugly workarounds.
The last straw to fix it was sync --content, which didn't fit the
Annex [CommandStart] interface well at all. I have not yet made it take
advantage of the changed interface though.
The crucial change, and probably why I didn't do it this way from the
beginning, is to make each CommandStart action be run with exceptions
caught, and if it fails, increment a failure counter in annex state.
So I finally remove the very first code I wrote for git-annex, which
was before I had exception handling in the Annex monad, and so ran outside
that monad, passing state explicitly as it ran each CommandStart action.
This was a real slog from 1 to 5 am.
Test suite passes.
Memory usage is lower than before, sometimes by a couple of megabytes, and
remains constant, even when running in a large repo, and even when
repeatedly failing and incrementing the error counter. So no accidental
laziness space leaks.
Wall clock speed is identical, even in large repos.

This works for both direct and indirect mode.
It may need some performance tuning.
Note that unlike git status, it only shows the status of the work tree, not
the status of the index. So only one status letter, not two .. and since
files that have been added and not yet committed do not differ between the
work tree and the index, they are not shown. Might want to add display of
the index vs the last commit eventually.

Thought was that this would be faster than a map, since a vector can be
updated more efficiently. It turns out to not seem to matter; runtime and
memory usage are basically identical.
