When a v6 unlocked files is removed from the work tree,
unused doesn't show it. When it gets removed from the index,
unused does show it. This is the same as a locked file.
This only adds 1 stat to each file fscked for locked files, so
added overhead is minimal.
For unlocked files it has to access the database to see if a file
is modified.
If multiple files point to the same annex object, the user may want to
modify them independently, so don't use a hard link.
Also, check diskreserve when copying.
Note that the implementation uses replaceFile, so that the actual
replacement of the work tree file is atomic. This seems a good property to
have!
It would be possible for unlock in v6 mode to be run on files that do not
have their content present. However, that would be a behavior change from
before, and I don't see any immediate need to support it, so I didn't
implement it.
This avoids querying the database when the content file doen't exist
(or otherwise fails the provided check). However, it does add overhead of
querying the database, and will certianly impact performance.
The Keys database can hold multiple inode caches for a given key. One for
the annex object, and one for each pointer file, which may not be hard
linked to it.
Inode caches for a key are recorded when its content is added to the annex,
but only if it has known pointer files. This is to avoid the overhead of
maintaining the database when not needed.
When the smudge filter outputs a file's content, the inode cache is not
updated, because git's smudge interface doesn't let us write the file. So,
dropping will fall back to doing an expensive verification then. Ideally,
git's interface would be improved, and then the inode cache could be
updated then too.
This removes ambiguity, because while someone might have "WORM--foo" in a
file that's not intended to be a git-annex pointer file,
"annex/objects/WORM--foo" is less likely.
Also, 664cc987e8 had a caveat about symlink
targets being parsed as pointer files, and now the same parser is used for
both.
I did not include any hash directories before the key in the pointer file,
as they're not needed. However, if they were included, the parser would
still work ok.
