Split out an author parameter, will make it easier to add authors and
reads better.
Got rid of the function without the copyright year, because an adversary
could have mechanically changed the function with a copyright year to
the one without, and so bypassed the protection of LLM copyright
year hallucination.

This is intended to guard against LLM code theft, which is the current
bubble technology de jour.
Note that authorJoeyHess' with a year older than the year I began
developing git-annex will behave badly, by intention. Eg, it will spin
and eventually crash.
This is not the first anti-LLM protection in git-annex. For example see
9562da790f. That method, while much harder
for an adversary to detect and remove, also complicates code somewhat
significantly, and needs extensions to be enabled. There are also
probably significantly fewer ways to implement that method in Haskell.
This new approach, by contrast, will be easy to add throughout the code
base, with very little effort, and without complicating reading or
maintaining it any more than noticing that yes, I am the author of this
code.
An adversary could of course remove all calls to these functions
before feeding code into their LLM-based laundry facility. I think this
would need to be done manually, or with the help of some fairly advanced
Haskell parsing though. In some cases, authorJoeyHess needs to be
removed, while in other places it needs to be replaced with a value.
Also a monadic use of authorJoeyHess' may involve other added monadic
machinery which would need to be eliminated to keep the code compiling.
Alternatively, an adversary could replace my name with something
innocuous. This would be clear intent to remove author attribution
from my code, even more than running it through an LLM laundry is.
If you work for a large company that is laundering my code through an
LLM, please do us a favor and use your immense privilege to quit and go
do something socially beneficial. I will not explain further
developments of this code in such detail, and you have better things to
do than playing cat and mouse with me as I explore directions such as
extending this approach to the type level.

view: Support annex.maxextensionlength when generating filenames for the
view branch.
Note that refining an existing view will reuse the extension length that was
configured when initially constructing the view. This is necessarily the case
because it reuses the filenames.
Also view files used to have all extensions at the end, no matter how
many there were. Since annex.maxextensionlength's documentation includes
that it's limited to 2 extensions, I made it consistent with that.

Caused by dirContains ".." "foo" being incorrectly False.
Also added a test of dirContains, which includes all the previous bug fixes
I could find and some obvious cases.
Reversion in version 8.20211011

dirContains ".." "../.." was incorrectly True.
This does not seem to be an exploitable security hole, at least
as dirContains is used in git-annex.

it would be a problem. See comment for analysis of this windows drive

Note this does find things in PATH that are not executable.
Like searchPath use, the executable bit is not checked. Thing is,
there does not seem to be a binding for access(), which would be the
right way to check that the right execute bit is set. Anyway, if it's in
PATH and it's a file, it's probably fine to treat it as something that
was intended to be executable.

This was not a good test, it broke the requirement that
relPathDirToFileAbs take absolute paths. And it failed when the two
input paths were eg, the same but differently normalized.
Replaced with some tests of the real basics of that function.
All properties changed to use them, except for
prop_encode_c_decode_c_roundtrip, which already filtered to ascii
for other reasons.
A few modules had to be split out, because Setup does not build-depend
on QuickCheck.
instance Arbitrary [Char] allows that, and it's not a legal part of a
filename so can break processing them.
Noticed when prop_view_roundtrips failed.
The instance Arbitrary AssociatedFile avoids this problem.

Had to split out some modules because getWorkingDirectory needs unix,
which is not a build-dep of configure.

This will break a lot of stuff that uses it, but once fixed should lead
to better performance.
Mostly mechanical.
Changes of note:
* upFrom now uses isPathSeparator, which is better on Windows where
there is not just one
* splitShortExtensions used to take the length of a string,
which would count wide unicode characters as a single character.
Changing to B.length changes that. Note that, git-annex's
annexMaxExtensionLength already changed to the length in bytes
before this change. This function is only used in generating views,
and the small behavior change should not be a problem.
* relHome still uses FilePath because it didn't seem worth changing(?)

The problem was this line:
cleanup = and <$> sequence (map snd v)
That caused all of v to be held onto until the end, when the cleanup action
was run.
I could not seem to find a bang pattern that avoided the leak, so I
resorted to a IORef, rather clunky, but not a performance problem because
it will only be written once per git ls-files, so typically just 1 time.

This was the last one marked as a zombie. There might be others I don't
know about, but except for in the hypothetical case of a thread dying
due to an async exception before it can wait on a process it started, I
don't know of any.
It would probably be safe to remove the reapZombies now, but let's wait
and so that in its own commit in case it turns out to cause problems.

No behavior changes (hopefully), just adding SeekInput and plumbing it
through to the JSON display code for later use.
Over the course of 2 grueling days.
withFilesNotInGit reimplemented in terms of seekHelper
should be the only possible behavior change. It seems to test as
behaving the same.
Note that seekHelper dummies up the SeekInput in the case where
segmentPaths' gives up on sorting the expanded paths because there are
too many input paths. When SeekInput later gets exposed as a json field,
that will result in it being a little bit wrong in the case where
100 or more paths are passed to a git-annex command. I think this is a
subtle enough problem to not matter. If it does turn out to be a
problem, fixing it would require splitting up the input
parameters into groups of < 100, which would make git ls-files run
perhaps more than is necessary. May want to revisit this, because that
fix seems fairly low-impact.
This is only implemented for git-annex get so far. It makes git-annex
get nearly twice as fast in a repo with 10k files, all of them present!
But, see the TODO for some caveats.
This relicates git's behavior. It adds a few stat calls for the command
line parameters, so there is some minor slowdown, but even with thousands
of parameters it will not be very noticable, and git does the same statting
in similar circumstances.
Note that this does not prevent eg "git annex add symlink"; the symlink
will be added to git as usual. And "git annex find symlink" will silently
list nothing as well. It's only "symlink/foo" or "subdir/symlink/foo" that
triggers the warning.
* addurl --preserve-filename: New option, uses server-provided filename
without any sanitization, but with some security checking.
Not yet implemented for remotes other than the web.
* addurl, importfeed: Avoid adding filenames with leading '.', instead
it will be replaced with '_'.
This might be considered a security fix, but a CVE seems unwattanted.
It was possible for addurl to create a dotfile, which could change
behavior of some program. It was also possible for a web server to say
the file name was ".git" or "foo/.git". That would not overrwrite the
.git directory, but would cause addurl to fail; of course git won't
add "foo/.git".
sanitizeFilePath is too opinionated to remain in Utility, so moved it.
The changes to mkSafeFilePath are because it used sanitizeFilePath.
In particular:
isDrive will never succeed, because "c:" gets munged to "c_"
".." gets sanitized now
".git" gets sanitized now
It will never be null, because sanitizeFilePath keeps the length
the same, and splitDirectories never returns a null path.
Also, on the off chance a web server suggests a filename of "",
ignore that, rather than trying to save to such a filename, which would
fail in some way.
Noticed that it gets the CWD unncessarily when the path is absolute.
I have not benchmarked this, but I guess that the small overhead of
isAbsolute is so tiny compared to the system call that it's worth
it even if most of the time relative paths are passed to absPath.
eg, `git-annex get . ..` used to order the files strangly, because it
did not realize that when git ls-files output eg "foo", that should be
grouped with the first set of files and not the second set.
Fixed by making dirContains "." "./foo" = True
which makes sense, because dirContains ".." "../foo" = True
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.
Eliminated some dead code. In other cases, exported a currently unused
function, since it was a logical part of the API.
Of course this improves the API documentation. It may also sometimes
let ghc optimize code better, since it can know a function is internal
to a module.
364 modules still to go, according to
git grep -E 'module [A-Za-z.]+ where'
Fourth or fifth try at this and finally found a way to make it work.
Absurd amount of busy-work forced on me by change in cabal's behavior.
Split up Utility modules that need posix stuff out of ones used by
Setup. Various other hacks around inability for Setup to use anything
that ifdefs a use of unix.
Probably lost a full day of my life to this.
This is how build systems make their users hate them. Just saying.
Windows: Fix reversion that caused the path used to link to annexed
content include the drive letter and full path, rather than being
relative. (`git annex fix` will fix up after this problem).
I've not identified the commit that brought the reversion (probably it
happened this spring when I was removing MisingH and last touched
Utility.Path). Likely commit 18b9a4b8024115db67ae309fdaf54e1553037529?
The problem is that relPathDirToFile got called two paths that had the
slashes different ways around. Since takeDrive includes the first slash,
this made two paths on the same drive seem different and it bailed.
(ifdefs around this to avoid doing extra work on non-windows)
This commit was sponsored by Jack Hill on Patreon.
Removed dependency on MissingH, instead depending on the split
library.
After laying groundwork for this since 2015, it
was mostly straightforward. Added Utility.Tuple and
Utility.Split. Eyeballed System.Path.WildMatch while implementing
the same thing.
Since MissingH's progress meter display was being used, I re-implemented
my own. Bonus: Now progress is displayed for transfers of files of
unknown size.

Moving toward dropping MissingH dep.
I think I've addressed the problem identified earlier in
09a66f702d. On Windows,
absPathFrom "/tmp/repo/xxx" "y/bar" would be "/tmp/repo/xxx\\y/bar",
which then confuses relPathDirToFile. Fixed by converting to unix (git)
style paths.
Also, relPathDirToFile was splitting only on \\ on windows and not /
which broke the example in 09a66f702d of
relPathDirToFile (absPathFrom "/tmp/repo/xxx" "y/bar") "/tmp/repo/.git/annex/objects/xxx"
Now, on windows, that will yield "..\\..\\..\\.git/annex/objects/xxx"
which once converted to unix style paths is what we want.
findShellCommand needs a full path to a file in order to check it for a
shebang on Windows. It was being run with only the base name of the external
special remote program, which would only work when it was in the current
directory.
This is why users in
https://github.com/DanielDent/git-annex-remote-rclone/pull/10 and elsewhere
were complaining that the previous improvements to git-annex didn't make
git-remote-rclone work on Windows.
Also, reworked checkearlytermination, which while it worked, seemed
to rely on a race condition. And, improved its error messages.
This commit was sponsored by Shane-o on Patreon.
It started exporting a isSymbolicLink which supports windows. But,
git-annex does no use symlinks on windows yet and this conflicts with the
function by the same name from unix-compat, so hide it.
The repo path is typically relative, not absolute, so
providing it to absPathFrom doesn't yield an absolute path.
This is not a bug, just unclear documentation.
Indeed, there seem to be no reason to simplifyPath here, which absPathFrom
does, so instead just combine the repo path and the TopFilePath.
Also, removed an export of the TopFilePath constructor; asTopFilePath
is provided to construct one as-is.
This fixes a reversion introduced by relative path changes back last winter.
The root cause is simplifyPath "../foo" was incorrectly yielding "foo".
absPathFrom seems quite horrible. Probably most things that use it should
use </> instead.
This is certianly a cabal bug for not passing the build options in the
cabal file when building Setup.hs.
And, why oh why did ghc enable this warning by default? So unhappy with
this choice.
Since we started using this for git repos, when a remote was on another
drive, it resulted in a bogus relative path to it being used by git-annex,
which didn't work.
New approach is to do it the expensive way for the first 100 paths
on the command line, but then assume the user doesn't care about order too
much and fall back to the cheap way that does not preserve order.
