the encode' and decode' functions on Windows should not apply the
filesystem encoding, which does not work there. Instead, convert to and
from UTF-8.
Also, avoid exporting encodeW8 and decodeW8. Both use the filesystem
encoding, so won't work as expected on windows.
Adds a dependency on filepath-bytestring, an as yet unreleased fork of
filepath that operates on RawFilePath.
Git.Repo also changed to use RawFilePath for the path to the repo.
This does eliminate some RawFilePath -> FilePath -> RawFilePath
conversions. And filepath-bytestring's </> is probably faster.
But I don't expect a major performance improvement from this.
This is mostly groundwork for making Annex.Location use RawFilePath,
which will allow for a conversion-free pipleline.
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 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.
using a blake2 variant optimised for 4-way CPUs
This had been deferred because the Debian package of cryptonite, and
possibly other builds, was broken for blake2bp, but I've confirmed #892855
is fixed.

Drop support for building with ghc older than 8.4.4, and with older
versions of serveral haskell libraries than will be included in Debian 10.
The only remaining version ifdefs in the entire code base are now a couple
for aws!
This commit should only be merged after the Debian 10 release.
And perhaps it will need to wait longer than that; it would make
backporting new versions of git-annex to Debian 9 (stretch) which
has been actively happening as recently as this year.

The hash was actually not being fully evaluated before, used rnf to fix
that.
The added dependency on deepseq is a free dependency, because eg text
depends on it.
No behavior changes, but this shows everywhere that a progress meter
could be displayed when hashing a file to add to the annex.
Many of the places don't make sense to display a progress meter though,
eg when importing the copy of the file probably swamps the hashing of
the file.
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.)
Adding that field broke the Read/Show serialization back-compat,
and also the Eq and Ord instances were not blinded to it, which broke
git annex fsck and probably more.
I think that the new approach used in formatKeyVariety will be nearly
as fast, but have not benchmarked it.
This reverts commit 4536c93bb2.
That broke Read/Show of a Key, and unfortunately Key is read in at least
one place; the GitAnnexDistribution data type.
It would be worth bringing this optimisation back, but it would need
either a custom Read/Show instance that preserves back-compat, or
wrapping Key in a data type that contains the serialization, or changing
how GitAnnexDistribution is serialized.
Also, the Eq instance would need to compare keys with and without a
cached seralization the same.
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.
It means that every place a Key has any of its fields changed, the cache
has to be dropped. I've grepped and found them all. But, it would be
better to avoid that gotcha somehow..
Added annex.maxextensionlength for use cases where extensions longer than 4
characters are needed.

In 2013, I wrote "Cryptohash benchmarks 90 to 101% faster than external
hashers". Re-benchmarking today, I found cryptonite's sha256 consistently
outperformed coreutils by 10% for large files. Tested 10 mb, 100 mb, 1 gb
files with both sha256 and sha512. And for smaller files, the external
process startup time swamps the hash time.
Perhaps cryptonite has improved. Or it could just do better on my
current CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU 4410Y @ 1.50GHz). Anyway, even if cryptonite
is slower in some situations, seems likely it would only be marginally slower;
it's got the same class of highly optimised C code under the hood as coreutils.
The main difference between the two sha256 implementations seems to be
how much of the inner loop they unroll..

* migrate: Fix bug in migration between eg SHA256 and SHA256E,
that caused the extension to be included in SHA256 keys,
and omitted from SHA256E keys.
(Bug introduced in version 6.20170214)
* migrate: Check for above bug when migrating from SHA256 to SHA256
(and same for SHA1 to SHA1 etc), and remove the extension that should
not be in the SHA256 key.
* fsck: Detect and warn when keys need an upgrade, either to fix up
from the above migrate bug, or to add missing size information
(a long ago transition), or because of a few other past key related
bugs.

Some blake hash varieties were not yet available in that version.
Rather than tracking exact details of what cryptonite supported when,
disable blake unless using a current cryptonite.
There are a lot of different variants and sizes, I suppose we might as well
export all the common ones.
Bump dep to cryptonite to 0.16, earlier versions lacked BLAKE2 support.
Even android has 0.16 or newer.
On Debian, Blake2bp_512 is buggy, so I have omitted it for now.

Do not treat parts of the filename that contain punctuation or other
non-alphanumeric characters as extensions. Before, such characters were
filtered out.
Note that in 45308ec78b "foo.ba__________r"
was munged to ".bar" and so incorrectly treated as an extension. That was
fixed by changing the filter order, but not allowing punctuation seems a
better fix.
This assumes that extensions containing punctuation are rare. "_" seems the
most likely character; I used it in ikiwiki "._comment" files. But I can't
recall seeing it anywhere else. It certianly seems that no commonly used
extensions contain punctuation. If git-annex doesn't treat "._comment"
as an extension, it's not likely to break software that expects to see that
extension like some software expects to see .epub or .mp3.

This avoids warnings from stack about the module not being listed in the
cabal file. So, the generated file is also renamed to Build/SysConfig.
Note that the setup program seems to be cached despite these changes; I
had to cabal clean to get cabal to update it so that Build/SysConfig was
written.

Cryptonite is faster and allocates less, and I want to get rid of
MissingH use.
Note that the new dependency on memory is free; it's a dependency of
cryptonite.
This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
Where before the "name" of a key and a backend was a string, this makes
it a concrete data type.
This is groundwork for allowing some varieties of keys to be disabled
in file2key, so git-annex won't use them at all.
Benchmarks ran in my big repo:
old git-annex info:
real 0m3.338s
user 0m3.124s
sys 0m0.244s
new git-annex info:
real 0m3.216s
user 0m3.024s
sys 0m0.220s
new git-annex find:
real 0m7.138s
user 0m6.924s
sys 0m0.252s
old git-annex find:
real 0m7.433s
user 0m7.240s
sys 0m0.232s
Surprising result; I'd have expected it to be slower since it now parses
all the key varieties. But, the parser is very simple and perhaps
sharing KeyVarieties uses less memory or something like that.

Turns out that Data.List.Utils.split is slow and makes a lot of
allocations. Here's a much simpler single character splitter that behaves
the same (even in wacky corner cases) while running in half the time and
75% the allocations.
As well as being an optimisation, this helps move toward eliminating use of
missingh.
(Data.List.Split.splitOn is nearly as slow as Data.List.Utils.split and
allocates even more.)
I have not benchmarked the effect on git-annex, but would not be surprised
to see some parsing of eg, large streams from git commands run twice as
fast, and possibly in less memory.

Fixes a minor fd leak, never more than 1 in normal use,
which broke the test suite when I tried to write to
a file that was still open for a previous hashing.
sideAction is for things not generally related to the current action being
performed. And, it adds a newline after the side action. This was not the
right thing to use for stuff like "checksum", where doing a checksum is
part of the git annex get process, and indeed we want it to display
"(checksum...) ok"
While cryptohash has SHA3 support, it has not been updated for the final
version of the spec. Note that cryptonite has not been ported to all arches
that cryptohash builds on yet.
This way, if a system's sha1sum etc is broken, it will be tried if
git-annex was built to use it, but at least it will fall back to using
internal hashing when it fails.
A side benefit of this is that hashFile consistently throws an IOError if
the file is unable to be read. In particular, if the disk is failing with
IO errors, and external hash command is used, it used to throw a user error
with the error message from externalSHA. Now, the external hash command
will fail, that message will be printed as a warning, and it'll fall back
to the internal hash command. If the disk IO error is not intermittent, it
will re-occur, and so an IOError will be thrown.
Of course, this can mean it reads a file twice, but only in edge cases.
This is especially useful because the caller doesn't need to generate valid
url keys, which involves some escaping of characters, and may involve
taking a md5sum of the url if it's too long.
