Reading from the cidsdb is responsible for about 25% of the runtime of
an import. Since the cidmap is used to store the same information in
ram, the cidsdb is not written to during an import any longer. And so,
if it started off empty (and updateFromLog wasn't needed), those reads
can just be skipped.
This is kind of a cheesy optimisation, since after any import from any
special remote, the database will no longer be empty, so it's a single
use optimisation. But it's probably not uncommon to start by importing a
lot of files, and it can save a lot of time then.

Combined with commit 0ffc59d341, this
fixes the case where there are duplicate files on the special remote,
and the first gets modified/deleted, while the second is still present.
directory, adb: Fixed a bug when importtree=yes, and multiple files in the
special remote have the same content, that caused it to refuse to get a
file from the special remote, incorrectly complaining that it had changed,
due to only accepting the inode+mtime of one file (that was since modified
or deleted) and not accepting the inode+mtime of other duplicate files.

This partly fixes an issue where there are duplicate files in the
special remote, and the first file gets swapped with another duplicate,
or deleted. The swap case is fixed by this, the deleted case will need
other changes.
This makes retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier take a list of allowed
ContentIdentifier, same as storeExportWithContentIdentifier,
removeExportWithContentIdentifier, and
checkPresentExportWithContentIdentifier.
Of the special remotes that support importtree, borg is a special case
and does not use content identifiers, S3 I assume can't get mixed up
like this, directory certainly has the problem, and adb also appears to
have had the problem.

WIP: This is mostly complete, but there is a problem: createDirectoryUnder
throws an error when annex.dbdir is set to outside the git repo.
annex.dbdir is a workaround for filesystems where sqlite does not work,
due to eg, the filesystem not properly supporting locking.
It's intended to be set before initializing the repository. Changing it
in an existing repository can be done, but would be the same as making a
new repository and moving all the annexed objects into it. While the
databases get recreated from the git-annex branch in that situation, any
information that is in the databases but not stored in the branch gets
lost. It may be that no information ever gets stored in the databases
that cannot be reconstructed from the branch, but I have not verified
that.

Commit 36133f27c0 had a boolean flip in it,
aaargh.
Special remotes with importtree=yes or exporttree=yes are once again
treated as untrusted, since files stored in them can be deleted or modified
at any time.

None of the special remotes do it yet, but this lays the groundwork.
Added MustFinishIncompleteVerify so that, when an incremental verify is
started but not complete, it can be forced to finish it. Otherwise, it
would have skipped doing it when verification is disabled, but
verification must always be done when retrievin from export remotes
since files can be modified during retrieval.
Note that retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier doesn't support incremental
verification yet. And I'm not sure if it can -- it doesn't know the Key
before it downloads the content. It seems a new API call would need to
be split out of that, which is provided with the key.

This fixes the recent reversion that annex.verify is not honored,
because retrieveChunks was passed RemoteVerify baser, but baser
did not have export/import set up.

The goal is that Database.Keys be able to use it; it can't use
Annex.Content.Presence due to an import loop.
Several other things also needed to be moved to Annex.Verify as a
conseqence.
When autoenabling special remotes of type S3, weddav, or glacier, do not
take login credentials from environment variables, as the user may not be
expecting the autoenable to happen, and may have those set for other
purposes.
This code I'm reverting works. But it has a problem: The export db and
log and the ContentIdentifier db and log still list the content as being
stored in the remote. So when I ran borg create again and stored the
content in borg again in a new archive, git-annex sync noticed that, but
since it didn't update the tree for the old archives, it then thought
the content that had been removed from them was still in them, and so
git-annex get failed in an ugly way:
Include pattern 'tmp/x/.git/annex/objects/pX/ZJ/SHA256E-s0--e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855/SHA256E-s0--e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855' never matched.

It does not seem worth it to update the git tree for the export when dropping
content, that would make drop of many files very expensive in git tree objects
created. So, let's not support this I suppose..
This is to support, eg a borg repo as a special remote, which is
populated not by running git-annex commands, but by using borg. Then
git-annex sync lists the content of the remote, learns which files are
annex objects, and treats those as present in the remote.
So, most of the import machinery is reused, to a new purpose. While
normally importtree maintains a remote tracking branch, this does not,
because the files stored in the remote are annex object files, not
user-visible filenames. But, internally, a git tree is still generated,
of the files on the remote that are annex objects. This tree is used
by retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier, etc. As with other import/export
remotes, that the tree is recorded in the export log, and gets grafted
into the git-annex branch.
importKey changed to be able to return Nothing, to indicate when an
ImportLocation is not an annex object and so should be skipped from
being included in the tree.
It did not seem to make sense to have git-annex import do this, since
from the user's perspective, it's not like other imports. So only
git-annex sync does it.
Note that, git-annex sync does not yet download objects from such
remotes that are preferred content. importKeys is run with
content downloading disabled, to avoid getting the content of all
objects. Perhaps what's needed is for seekSyncContent to be run with these
remotes, but I don't know if it will just work (in particular, it needs
to avoid trying to transfer objects to them), so I skipped that for now.
(Untested and unused as of yet.)

This is better than using the equivilant actions for export remotes,
especially for getting content, since the ContentIdentifier checking
means we can be sure (enough) that the content is valid to not force
verification of content. Which allows getting keys of types that cannot
be verified.
Also, reorganized the internals of adjustExportImport which was becoming
very hard to follow. Now it's clear what each method does in each case.
Ah, it seemed too easy before when I was implementing importrree only,
and it was because all the key-based actions needed to be handled too.
Mostly copied from isexport, and this works. It does seem that
an import remote could use retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier
rather than retrieveExport, and checkPresentExportWithContentIdentifier
rather than checkPresentExport, which would both be more accurate.
I do think this was a reversion, but I have not tracked back to what
version. While involving the remote config, it's not the same class of
problems that I kept having to chase down for a while after the remote
config parser reworking.
There was no particular reason not to support this, other than maybe a lack
of a use case. One use case would of course be a remote that you want to
avoid overwriting content on. A new use case is the idea of importing from
backups, eg borg, where exporting is not necessarily supported at all.

I need to check the rest and they're currently missing methods until I do.

retrieveExport is part of ongoing transition to make remote methods

getKey very rarely fails, and when it does it's always for the same reason
(user configured annex.backend to url for some reason). So, this will
avoid dealing with Nothing everywhere it's used.

When storing content on remote fails, always display a reason why.
Since the Storer used by special remotes already did, this mostly affects
git remotes, but not entirely. For example, if git-lfs failed to connect to
the endpoint, it used to silently return False.
Fix serious regression in gcrypt and encrypted git-lfs remotes.
Since version 7.20200202.7, git-annex incorrectly stored content
on those remotes without encrypting it.
Problem was, Remote.Git enumerates all git remotes, including git-lfs
and gcrypt. It then dispatches to those. So, Remote.List used the
RemoteConfigParser from Remote.Git, instead of from git-lfs or gcrypt,
and that parser does not know about encryption fields, so did not
include them in the ParsedRemoteConfig. (Also didn't include other
fields specific to those remotes, perhaps chunking etc also didn't
get through.)
To fix, had to move RemoteConfig parsing down into the generate methods
of each remote, rather than doing it in Remote.List.
And a consequence of that was that ParsedRemoteConfig had to change to
include the RemoteConfig that got parsed, so that testremote can
generate a new remote based on an existing remote.
(I would have rather fixed this just inside Remote.Git, but that was not
practical, at least not w/o re-doing work that Remote.List already did.
Big ugly mostly mechanical patch seemed preferable to making git-annex
slower.)
Special remote programs that use GETCONFIG/SETCONFIG are recommended
to implement it.
The description is not yet used, but will be useful later when adding a way
to make initremote list all accepted configs.
configParser now takes a RemoteConfig parameter. Normally, that's not
needed, because configParser returns a parter, it does not parse it
itself. But, it's needed to look at externaltype and work out what
external remote program to run for LISTCONFIGS.
Note that, while externalUUID is changed to a Maybe UUID, checkExportSupported
used to use NoUUID. The code that now checks for Nothing used to behave
in some undefined way if the external program made requests that
triggered it.
Also, note that in externalSetup, once it generates external,
it parses the RemoteConfig strictly. That generates a
ParsedRemoteConfig, which is thrown away. The reason it's ok to throw
that away, is that, if the strict parse succeeded, the result must be
the same as the earlier, lenient parse.
initremote of an external special remote now runs the program three
times. First for LISTCONFIGS, then EXPORTSUPPORTED, and again
LISTCONFIGS+INITREMOTE. It would not be hard to eliminate at least
one of those, and it should be possible to only run the program once.
Needed so Remote.External can query the external program for its
configs. When the external program does not support the query,
the passthrough option will make all input fields be available.
This is a first step toward that goal, using the ProposedAccepted type
in RemoteConfig lets initremote/enableremote reject bad parameters that
were passed in a remote's configuration, while avoiding enableremote
rejecting bad parameters that have already been stored in remote.log
This does not eliminate every place where a remote config is parsed and a
default value is used if the parse false. But, I did fix several
things that expected foo=yes/no and so confusingly accepted foo=true but
treated it like foo=no. There are still some fields that are parsed with
yesNo but not not checked when initializing a remote, and there are other
fields that are parsed in other ways and not checked when initializing a
remote.
This also lays groundwork for rejecting unknown/typoed config keys.
This will speed up the common case where a Key is deserialized from
disk, but is then serialized to build eg, the path to the annex object.
Previously attempted in 4536c93bb2
and reverted in 96aba8eff7.
The problems mentioned in the latter commit are addressed now:
Read/Show of KeyData is backwards-compatible with Read/Show of Key from before
this change, so Types.Distribution will keep working.
The Eq instance is fixed.
Also, Key has smart constructors, avoiding needing to remember to update
the cached serialization.
Used git-annex benchmark:
find is 7% faster
whereis is 3% faster
get when all files are already present is 5% faster
Generally, the benchmarks are running 0.1 seconds faster per 2000 files,
on a ram disk in my laptop.
This solves the problem of sameas remotes trampling over per-remote
state. Used for:
* per-remote state, of course
* per-remote metadata, also of course
* per-remote content identifiers, because two remote implementations
could in theory generate the same content identifier for two different
peices of content
While chunk logs are per-remote data, they don't use this, because the
number and size of chunks stored is a common property across sameas
remotes.
External special remote had a complication, where it was theoretically
possible for a remote to send SETSTATE or GETSTATE during INITREMOTE or
EXPORTSUPPORTED. Since the uuid of the remote is typically generate in
Remote.setup, it would only be possible to pass a Maybe
RemoteStateHandle into it, and it would otherwise have to construct its
own. Rather than go that route, I decided to send an ERROR in this case.
It seems unlikely that any existing external special remote will be
affected. They would have to make up a git-annex key, and set state for
some reason during INITREMOTE. I can imagine such a hack, but it doesn't
seem worth complicating the code in such an ugly way to support it.
Unfortunately, both TestRemote and Annex.Import needed the Remote
to have a new field added that holds its RemoteStateHandle.
Prompted by the test suite on windows failing to with "export foo failed"
and no information about what went wrong.
Note that only storeExportWithContentIdentifier has been converted.
storeExport still returns a Bool and so exceptions may be hidden.
However, storeExportWithContentIdentifier has many more failure modes,
since it needs to avoid overwriting modified files. So it's more
important it have better error display.
