It's important that it be clear that it overrides a config, such that
reloading the git config won't change it, and in particular, setConfig
won't change it.
Most of the calls to changeGitConfig were actually after setConfig,
which was redundant and unncessary. So removed those.
The only remaining one, besides --debug, is in the handling of
repository-global config values. That one's ok, because the
way mergeGitConfig is implemented, it does not override any value that
is set in git config. If a value with a repo-global setting was passed
to setConfig, it would set it in the git config, reload the git config,
re-apply mergeGitConfig, and use the newly set value, which is the right
thing.
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.)
