This avoids cp -a overriding the default mode acls that the user might have
set in a git repository.
With GNU cp, this behavior change should not be a breaking change, because
git-anex also uses rsync sometimes in the same situation, and has only ever
preserved timestamps when using rsync.
Systems without GNU cp will no longer use cp -a, but instead just cp.
So, timestamps will no longer be preserved. Preserving timestamps when
copying between repos is not guaranteed anyway.
Closes: #729757
The webapp will check twice a day, when the network is connected, to see if
it can download a distributon upgrade file. If a newer version is found,
display an upgrade alert.
This will need the autobuilders to set UPGRADE_LOCATION to the url
it can be downloaded from when building git-annex. Only builds with that
set need automatic upgrade alerts.
Currently, the upgrade page just requests the user manually download
and upgrade it. But, all the info is provided to do automated upgrades
in the future.
Note that urls used will need to all be https.

I probably need to improve handling of the PleaseTerminate exception to
kill the fsck process. Also, if fsck finds bad files, something needs
to requeue downloads of them. Otherwise, this should work, but is probably
quite buggy since I have only tested the pure code over the past 2 days.
When quvi is installed, git-annex addurl automatically uses it to detect
when an page is a video, and downloads the video file.
web special remote: Also support using quvi, for getting files,
or checking if files exist in the web.

Run the same code git-annex used to get the sha, including its sanity
checking. Much better than old grep. Should detect FreeBSD systems with
sha commands that output in stange format.
Been meaning to do this for some time; Android port was last straw.
Note that newer versions of the uuid library have a Data.UUID.V4 that
generates random UUIDs slightly more cleanly, but Debian has an old version
of the library, so I do it slightly round-about.
This allows it to use Build.SysConfig to always install the programs
configure detected. Amoung other fixes, this ensures the right uuid
generator and checksum programs are installed.
I also cleaned up the handling of lsof's path; configure now checks for
it in PATH, but falls back to looking for it in sbin directories.
This uses the ADNS library, if available. Otherwise, the host program.
I anticipate that cabal users won't easily get hsdns installed, since
it's a Haskell binding to a C library. And using host is just fine, as
long as the system has it.
So, it might be called sha1sum, or on some other OS, it might be called
sha1. It might be hidden away off of PATH on that OS. That's just expected
insanity; UNIX has been this way since 1980's. And these days, nobody even
gives the flying flip about standards that we briefly did in the 90's
after the first round of unix wars.
But it's the 2010's now, and we've certainly learned something.
So, let's make it so sometimes sha1 is a crazy program that wants to run as
root so it can lock memory while prompting for a passphrase, and outputting
binary garbage. Yes, that'd be wise. Let's package that in major Linux
distros, too, so users can stumble over it.
