Dropping from a cluster drops from every node of the cluster.
Including nodes that the cluster does not think have the content.
This is different from GET and CHECKPRESENT, which do trust the
cluster's location log. The difference is that removing from a cluster
should make 100% the content is gone from every node. So doing extra
work is ok. Compare with CHECKPRESENT where checking every node could
make it very expensive, and the worst that can happen in a false
negative is extra work being done.
Extended the P2P protocol with FAILURE-PLUS to handle the case where a
drop from one node succeeds, but a drop from another node fails. In that
case the entire cluster drop has failed.
Note that SUCCESS-PLUS is returned when dropping from a proxied remote
that is not a cluster, when the protocol version supports it. This is
because P2P.Proxy does not know when it's proxying for a single node
cluster vs for a remote that is not a cluster.
This is slightly belt and suspenders, but nothing guarantees that the
peer avoids including its uuid in the SUCCESS-PLUS list as it's supposed
to. And while it probably doesn't matter if the location log is updated
redundantly, let's not find out.
Client side support for SUCCESS-PLUS and ALREADY-HAVE-PLUS
is complete, when a PUT stores to additional repositories
than the expected on, the location log is updated with the
additional UUIDs that contain the content.
Started implementing PUT fanout to multiple remotes for clusters.
It is untested, and I fear fencepost errors in the relative
offset calculations. And it is missing proxying for the protocol
after DATA.
Improve disk free space checking when transferring unsized keys to
local git remotes. Since the size of the object file is known, can
check that instead.
Getting unsized keys from local git remotes does not check the actual
object size. It would be harder to handle that direction because the size
check is run locally, before anything involving the remote is done. So it
doesn't know the size of the file on the remote.
Also, transferring unsized keys to other remotes, including ssh remotes and
p2p remotes don't do disk size checking for unsized keys. This would need a
change in protocol.
(It does seem like it would be possible to implement the same thing for
directory special remotes though.)
In some sense, it might be better to not ever do disk free checking for
unsized keys, than to do it only sometimes. A user might notice this
direction working and consider it a bug that the other direction does not.
On the other hand, disk reserve checking is not implemented for most
special remotes at all, and yet it is implemented for a few, which is also
inconsistent, but best effort. And so doing this best effort seems to make
some sense. Fundamentally, if the user wants the size to always be checked,
they should not use unsized keys.

* Removed support for accessing git remotes that use versions of
git-annex older than 6.20180312.
* git-annex-shell: Removed several commands that were only needed to
support git-annex versions older than 6.20180312.
(lockcontent, recvkey, sendkey, transferinfo, commit)
The P2P protocol was added in that version, and used ever since, so
this code was only needed for interop with older versions.
"git-annex-shell commit" is used by newer git-annex versions, though
unnecessarily so, because the p2pstdio command makes a single commit at
shutdown. Luckily, it was run with stderr and stdout sent to /dev/null,
and non-zero exit status or other exceptions are caught and ignored. So,
that was able to be removed from git-annex-shell too.
git-annex-shell inannex, recvkey, sendkey, and dropkey are still used by
gcrypt special remotes accessed over ssh, so those had to be kept.
It would probably be possible to convert that to using the P2P protocol,
but it would be another multi-year transition.
Some git-annex-shell fields were able to be removed. I hoped to remove
all of them, and the very concept of them, but unfortunately autoinit
is used by git-annex sync, and gcrypt uses remoteuuid.
The main win here is really in Remote.Git, removing piles of hairy fallback
code.

RemoteGitConfig parsing looks for annex.bwlimit when a remote
does not have a per-remote config for it, so no need for a separate
gobal config.
Sponsored-by: Svenne Krap on Patreon
Added annex.bwlimit and remote.name.annex-bwlimit config that works for git
remotes and many but not all special remotes.
This nearly works, at least for a git remote on the same disk. With it set
to 100kb/1s, the meter displays an actual bandwidth of 128 kb/s, with
occasional spikes to 160 kb/s. So it needs to delay just a bit longer...
I'm unsure why.
However, at the beginning a lot of data flows before it determines the
right bandwidth limit. A granularity of less than 1s would probably improve
that.
And, I don't know yet if it makes sense to have it be 100ks/1s rather than
100kb/s. Is there a situation where the user would want a larger
granularity? Does granulatity need to be configurable at all? I only used that
format for the config really in order to reuse an existing parser.
This can't support for external special remotes, or for ones that
themselves shell out to an external command. (Well, it could, but it
would involve pausing and resuming the child process tree, which seems
very hard to implement and very strange besides.) There could also be some
built-in special remotes that it still doesn't work for, due to them not
having a progress meter whose displays blocks the bandwidth using thread.
But I don't think there are actually any that run a separate thread for
downloads than the thread that displays the progress meter.

This fixes the recent reversion that annex.verify is not honored,
because retrieveChunks was passed RemoteVerify baser, but baser
did not have export/import set up.
Sponsored-by: Dartmouth College's DANDI project
The goal is that Database.Keys be able to use it; it can't use
Annex.Content.Presence due to an import loop.
Several other things also needed to be moved to Annex.Verify as a
conseqence.
Checksum as content is received from a remote git-annex repository, rather
than doing it in a second pass.
Not tested at all yet, but I imagine it will work!
Not implemented for any special remotes, and also not implemented for
copies from local remotes. It may be that, for local remotes, it will
suffice to use rsync, rely on its checksumming, and simply return Verified.
(It would still make a checksumming pass when cp is used for COW, I guess.)
Lots of nice wins from this in avoiding unncessary work, and I think
nothing got slower.

When storing content on remote fails, always display a reason why.
Since the Storer used by special remotes already did, this mostly affects
git remotes, but not entirely. For example, if git-lfs failed to connect to
the endpoint, it used to silently return False.
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.)
P2P protocol version 1 adds VALID|INVALID after DATA; INVALID means the
file was detected to change content while it was being sent and so we
may not have received the valid content of the file.
Added new MustVerify constructor for Verification, which forces
verification even when annex.verify=false etc. This is used when INVALID
and in protocol version 0.
As well as changing git-annex-shell p2psdio, this makes git-annex tor
remotes always force verification, since they don't yet use protocol
version 1. Previously, annex.verify=false could skip verification when
using tor remotes, and let bad data into the repository.

Noticed that getting a key whose size is not known resulted in a
progress display that didn't include the percent complete.
Fixed for P2P by making the size sent with DATA be used to update the
meter's total size.
In order for rateLimitMeterUpdate to also learn the total size,
had to make it be passed the Meter, and some other reorg in
Utility.Metered was also done so that --json-progress can construct a
Meter to pass to rateLimitMeterUpdate.
When the fallback rsync is done, the progress display still doesn't
include the percent complete. Only way to fix that seems to be to let rsync
display its output again, but that would conflict with git-annex's
own progress meter, which is also being displayed.

Note that, due to not using rsync to transfer files to ssh remotes
any longer, permissions and other file metadata of annexed files
will no longer be preserved when copying them to ssh remotes.
Other remotes never supported preserving that information, so
this is not considered a regression. Added NEWS item about this.
Another significant side effect of this is that, even when rsync is run to
retrieve a file, its progress display will no longer be shown, and
instead the native git-annex progress display will appear. It would be
possible to use the rsync process display when rsync is used (old
git-annex-shell and also retrieval from a local repository), but it
would have complicated the code unncessarily, and been inconsistent
behavior.
(I'd been thinking for a while about eliminating the rsync progress
display, since it's got some annoying verbosities, including display of
the key and the "(xfr#1, to-chk=0/1)" bit and was already somewhat
inconsistent.)
retrieveKeyFileCheap still uses rsync, since that ensures that it gets
the actual file content from the remote. Using the P2P protocol would
use the local content, as long as the local and remote size are the
same.

Still a couple bugs:
* Closing the connection to the server leaves git upload-pack /
receive-pack running, which could be used to DOS.
* Sometimes the data is transferred, but it fails at the end, sometimes
with:
git-remote-tor-annex: <socket: 10>: commitBuffer: resource vanished (Broken pipe)
Must be a race condition around shutdown.
Almost working, but there's a bug in the relaying.
Also, made tor hidden service setup pick a random port, to make it harder
to port scan.

This is most of the way to having the p2p protocol working over tor
hidden services, at least enough to do git push/pull.
The free monad was split into two, one for network operations and the
other for local (Annex) operations. This will allow git-remote-tor-annex
to run only an IO action, not needing the Annex monad.

A bit tricky since Proto doesn't support threads. Rather than adding
threading support to it, ended up using a callback that waits for both
data on a Handle, and incoming messages at the same time.

Is content locking needed in the P2P protocol? Based on re-reading
bugs/concurrent_drop--from_presence_checking_failures.mdwn,
I think so: Peers can form cycles, and multiple peers can all be trying
to drop the same content.
So, added content locking to the protocol, with some difficulty.
The implementation is fine as far as it goes, but note the warning
comment for lockContentWhile -- if the connection to the peer is dropped
unexpectedly, the peer will then unlock the content, and yet the local
side will still think it's locked.
To be honest I'm not sure if Remote.Git's lockKey for ssh remotes
doesn't have the same problem. It checks that the
"ssh remote git-annex-shell lockcontent"
process has not exited, but if the connection closes afer that check,
the lockcontent command will unlock it, and yet the local side will
still think it's locked.
Probably this needs to be fixed by eg, making lockcontent catch any
execptions due to the connection closing, and in that case, wait a
significantly long time before dropping the lock.

For use with tor hidden services, and perhaps other transports later.
Based on Utility.SimpleProtocol, it's a line-based protocol,
interspersed with transfers of bytestrings of a specified size.
Implementation of the local and remote sides of the protocol is done
using a free monad. This lets monadic code be included here, without
tying it to any particular way to get bytes peer-to-peer.
This adds a dependency on the haskell package "free", although that
was probably pulled in transitively from other dependencies already.
