When in a subdir, both the normal filepath, and the filepath relative to
the top of the git repo are needed for matching. The former for key lookup,
and the latter for include/exclude to match against. Previously, key lookup
didn't work in this situation.
The old code was just wrong in taking fromPath of GIT_DIR -- that made an
localUnknown location with the GIT_DIR in it, which only worked by
accident, and failed in submodules.
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.
Aka solve the github problem.
Note that it's possible the initial configlist will fail for some network
reason etc, and then the fetch succeeds. In this case, a usable remote gets
disabled. But it does print a message, and this only happens once per
remote, so that seems ok.
There was one forkProcess lurking in test.hs, and that seems to be
responsible for recent buildd failures on amd64 and armhf. I was able to
reproduce it pretty easily on amd64, and even once on i386, and it was
clearly that same bad old threaded runtime hang. So removing this
forkProcess should fix it. Odd that it lurked for some months before
popping up.
Setting GIT_INDEX_FILE clobbers the rest of the environment, making git
not read ~/.gitconfig, and blow up if GECOS didn't have a name for the
user.
I'm not entirely happy with getEnvironment being run every time now,
that's somewhat expensive. It may make sense to just set GIT_COMMITTER_*
and GIT_AUTHOR_*, but I worry that clobbering the rest could break PATH,
or GIT_PATH, or something else that might be used by a command run in here.
And caching the environment is not a good idea either; it can change..
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.
Incomplete; I need to finish parsing and saving. This will also be used
for editing transfer control expresssions.
Removed the group display from the status output, I didn't really
like that format, and vicfg can be used to see as well as edit rempository
group membership.
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.
At recommends it causes avahi-daemon to be pulled in on upgrade, which is
just too annoying to deal with avoiding on servers. MDNS is needed for
robust peering, but probably most desktop systems have it anyway; it's in
task-desktop.
