Added Maybe POSIXTime to SafeDropProof, which gets set when the proof is
based on a LockedCopy. If there are several LockedCopies, it uses the
closest expiry time. That is not optimal, it may be that the proof
expires based on one LockedCopy but another one has not expired. But
that seems unlikely to really happen, and anyway the user can just
re-run a drop if it fails due to expiry.
Pass the SafeDropProof to removeKey, which is responsible for checking
it for expiry in situations where that could be a problem. Which really
only means in Remote.Git.
Made Remote.Git check expiry when dropping from a local remote.
Checking expiry when dropping from a P2P remote is not yet implemented.
P2P.Protocol.remove has SafeDropProof plumbed through to it for that
purpose.
Fixing the remaining 2 build warnings should complete this work.
Note that the use of a POSIXTime here means that if the clock gets set
forward while git-annex is in the middle of a drop, it may say that
dropping took too long. That seems ok. Less ok is that if the clock gets
turned back a sufficient amount (eg 5 minutes), proof expiry won't be
noticed. It might be better to use the Monotonic clock, but that doesn't
advance when a laptop is suspended, and while there is the linux
Boottime clock, that is not available on other systems. Perhaps a
combination of POSIXTime and the Monotonic clock could detect laptop
suspension and also detect clock being turned back?
There is a potential future flag day where
p2pDefaultLockContentRetentionDuration is not assumed, but is probed
using the P2P protocol, and peers that don't support it can no longer
produce a LockedCopy. Until that happens, when git-annex is
communicating with older peers there is a risk of data loss when
a ssh connection closes during LOCKCONTENT.
This allows lockContentShared to lock content for eg, 10 minutes and
if the process then gets terminated before it can unlock, the content
will remain locked for that amount of time.
The Windows implementation is not yet tested.
In P2P.Annex, a duration of 10 minutes is used. This way, when p2pstdio
or remotedaemon is serving the P2P protocol, and is asked to
LOCKCONTENT, and that process gets killed, the content will not be
subject to deletion. This is not a perfect solution to
doc/todo/P2P_locking_connection_drop_safety.mdwn yet, but it gets most
of the way there, without needing any P2P protocol changes.
This is only done in v10 and higher repositories (or on Windows). It
might be possible to backport it to v8 or earlier, but it would
complicate locking even further, and without a separate lock file, might
be hard. I think that by the time this fix reaches a given user, they
will probably have been running git-annex 10.x long enough that their v8
repositories will have upgraded to v10 after the 1 year wait. And it's
not as if git-annex hasn't already been subject to this problem (though
I have not heard of any data loss caused by it) for 6 years already, so
waiting another fraction of a year on top of however long it takes this
fix to reach users is unlikely to be a problem.
Dropping from a cluster drops from every node of the cluster.
Including nodes that the cluster does not think have the content.
This is different from GET and CHECKPRESENT, which do trust the
cluster's location log. The difference is that removing from a cluster
should make 100% the content is gone from every node. So doing extra
work is ok. Compare with CHECKPRESENT where checking every node could
make it very expensive, and the worst that can happen in a false
negative is extra work being done.
Extended the P2P protocol with FAILURE-PLUS to handle the case where a
drop from one node succeeds, but a drop from another node fails. In that
case the entire cluster drop has failed.
Note that SUCCESS-PLUS is returned when dropping from a proxied remote
that is not a cluster, when the protocol version supports it. This is
because P2P.Proxy does not know when it's proxying for a single node
cluster vs for a remote that is not a cluster.
This is obviously necessary in order for dropping from a cluster to be able to
drop from all nodes.
It also avoids violating numcopies when a cluster node is a special remote.
If it were used in the drop proof, nothing would prevent the cluster from
dropping from it.
Handled limitCopies, as well as everything using fromNumCopies and
fromMinCopies.
This should be everything, probably.
Note that, git-annex info displays a count of repositories, which still
includes cluster. I think that's ok. It would be possible to filter out
clusters there, but to the user they're pretty much just another
repository. The numcopies displayed by eg `git-annex info .` does not
include clusters.
Since the cluster UUID is inserted into the location log when the
location log lists a node as containing content.
Also avoid trying to lock content on cluster remotes. The cluster nodes
are also proxied, so that content can be locked on individual nodes, and
locking content on a cluster as a whole probably won't be implemented.
And made git-annex whereis use numcopies machinery for displaying its
count, so it won't count cluster UUIDs redundantly to nodes.
Other commands, like git-annex info that also display numcopies
information already used the numcopies machinery.
There is more to be done, fromNumCopies is sometimes used to get a
number that is compared with a list of UUIDs. And limitCopies doesn't
use numcopies machinery.
"Could only verify the existence of 0 out of 1 necessary copy"
does not sound right, but neither does it with "copies".
Kept the "1" rather than "only" or such since numcopies is mentioned.

Make git-annex get/copy/move --from foo override configuration of
remote.foo.annex-ignore, as documented.
This already worked for remotes supporting hasKeyCheap. For others though,
git-annex copy --from foo would silently not do anything, while
git-annex copy --to foo would use the annex-ignored remote.
Also improved the annex-ignore docs, to reflect that `git-annex get`
without --from will skip using annex-ignored remotes, for example.

This does, as a side effect, make long notes in json output not
be indented. The indentation is only needed to offset them
underneath the display of the file they apply to, so that's ok.

Ignore annex.numcopies set to 0 in gitattributes or git config, or by
git-annex numcopies or by --numcopies, since that configuration would make
git-annex easily lose data. Same for mincopies.
This is a continuation of the work to make data only be able to be lost
when --force is used. It earlier led to the --trust option being disabled,
and similar reasoning applies here.
Most numcopies configs had docs that strongly discouraged setting it to 0
anyway. And I can't imagine a use case for setting to 0. Not that there
might not be one, but it's just so far from the intended use case of
git-annex, of managing and storing your data, that it does not seem like
it makes sense to cater to such a hypothetical use case, where any
git-annex drop can lose your data at any time.
Using a smart constructor makes sure every place avoids 0. Note that this
does mean that NumCopies is for the configured desired values, and not the
actual existing number of copies, which of course can be 0. The name
configuredNumCopies is used to make that clear.

Eg, before with a .gitattributes like:
*.2 annex.numcopies=2
*.1 annex.numcopies=1
And foo.1 and foo.2 having the same content and key, git-annex drop foo.1 foo.2
would succeed, leaving just 1 copy, despite foo.2 needing 2 copies.
It dropped foo.1 first and then skipped foo.2 since its content was gone.
Now that the keys database includes locked files, this longstanding wart
can be fixed.

Most of this is just refactoring. But, handleDropsFrom
did not verify that associated files from the keys db were still
accurate, and has now been fixed to.
A minor improvement to this would be to avoid calling catKeyFile
twice on the same file, when getting the numcopies and mincopies value,
in the common case where the same file has the highest value for both.
But, it avoids checking every associated file, so it will scale well to
lots of dups already.

This is conceptually very simple, just making a 1 that was hard coded be
exposed as a config option. The hard part was plumbing all that, and
dealing with complexities like reading it from git attributes at the
same time that numcopies is read.
Behavior change: When numcopies is set to 0, git-annex used to drop
content without requiring any copies. Now to get that (highly unsafe)
behavior, mincopies also needs to be set to 0. It seemed better to
remove that edge case, than complicate mincopies by ignoring it when
numcopies is 0.

This is a fairly hard to understand situation for the user. Listing the
remotes should help them understand it a bit better.

Finally builds (oh the agoncy of making it build), but still very
unmergable, only Command.Find is included and lots of stuff is badly
hacked to make it compile.
Benchmarking vs master, this git-annex find is significantly faster!
Specifically:
num files old new speedup
48500 4.77 3.73 28%
12500 1.36 1.02 66%
20 0.075 0.074 0% (so startup time is unchanged)
That's without really finishing the optimization. Things still to do:
* Eliminate all the fromRawFilePath, toRawFilePath, encodeBS,
decodeBS conversions.
* Use versions of IO actions like getFileStatus that take a RawFilePath.
* Eliminate some Data.ByteString.Lazy.toStrict, which is a slow copy.
* Use ByteString for parsing git config to speed up startup.
It's likely several of those will speed up git-annex find further.
And other commands will certianly benefit even more.
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.)
Running git-annex linux builds in termux seems to work well enough that the
only reason to keep the Android app would be to support Android 4-5, which
the old Android app supported, and which I don't know if the termux method
works on (although I see no reason why it would not).
According to [1], Android 4-5 remains on around 29% of devices, down from
51% one year ago.

This is a rather large commit, but mostly very straightfoward removal of
android ifdefs and patches and associated cruft.
Also, removed support for building with very old ghc < 8.0.1, and with
yesod < 1.4.3, and without concurrent-output, which were only being used
by the cross build.
Some documentation specific to the Android app (screenshots etc) needs
to be updated still.

move: Added --safe option, which makes move honor numcopies settings.
Also --unsafe enables the default behavior, anticipating that the
default may one day change.

By definition, a trusted repository is trusted to always have its location
tracking log accurate. Thus, it should never be in a position where content
is being dropped from it concurrently, as that would result in the location
tracking log not being accurate.
This avoids a failure where eg, we start with RecentlyVerifiedCopies
for all remotes, and so didn't do any active verification, which is
required.
Also, dedup the list of VerifiedCopies when checking if we have enough,
in case 2 copies of a UUID slip in.
See doc/bugs/concurrent_drop--from_presence_checking_failures.mdwn for
discussion about why 1 locked copy is all we can require, and how this
fixes concurrent dropping bugs.
Note that, since nothing yet generates a VerifiedCopyLock yet, this commit
breaks dropping temporarily.
There should be no behavior changes in this commit, it just adds a more
expressive data type and adjusts code that had been passing around a [UUID]
or sometimes a Maybe Remote to instead use [VerifiedCopy].
Although, since some functions were taking two different [UUID] lists,
there's some potential for me to have gotten it horribly wrong.
