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.
Rather than limiting it to PerformStage and CleanupStage, this opens it
up so any number of stages can be added as needed by commands.
Each concurrent command has a set of stages that it uses, and only
transitions between those can block waiting for a free slot in the
worker pool. Calling enteringStage for some other stage does not block,
and has very little overhead.
Note that while before the Annex state was duplicated on the first call
to commandAction, this now happens earlier, in startConcurrency.
That means that seek stage actions should that use startConcurrency
and then modify Annex state won't modify the state of worker threads
they then start. I audited all of them, and only Command.Seek
did so; prepMerge changes the working directory and so has to come
before startConcurrency.
Also, the remote list is built before duplicating the state, which means
that it gets built earlier now than it used to. This would only have an
effect of making commands that end up not needing to perform any actions
unncessary build the remote list (only when they're run with concurrency
enable), but that's a minor overhead compared to commands seeking
through the work tree and determining they don't need to do anything.
The goal is to be able to run CommandStart in the main thread when -J is
used, rather than unncessarily passing it off to a worker thread, which
incurs overhead that is signficant when the CommandStart is going to
quickly decide to stop.
To do that, the message it displays needs to be displayed in the worker
thread, after the CommandStart has run.
Also, the change will mean that CommandStart will no longer necessarily
run with the same Annex state as CommandPerform. While its docs already
said it should avoid modifying Annex state, I audited all the
CommandStart code as part of the conversion. (Note that CommandSeek
already sometimes runs with a different Annex state, and that has not been
a source of any problems, so I am not too worried that this change will
lead to breakage going forward.)
The only modification of Annex state I found was it calling
allowMessages in some Commands that default to noMessages. Dealt with
that by adding a startCustomOutput and a startingUsualMessages.
This lets a command start with noMessages and then select the output it
wants for each CommandStart.
One bit of breakage: onlyActionOn has been removed from commands that used it.
The plan is that, since a StartMessage contains an ActionItem,
when a Key can be extracted from that, the parallel job runner can
run onlyActionOn' automatically. Then commands won't need to worry about
this detail. Future work.
Otherwise, this was a fairly straightforward process of making each
CommandStart compile again. Hopefully other behavior changes were mostly
avoided.
In a few cases, a command had a CommandStart that called a CommandPerform
that then called showStart multiple times. I have collapsed those
down to a single start action. The main command to perhaps suffer from it
is Command.Direct, which used to show a start for each file, and no
longer does.
Another minor behavior change is that some commands used showStart
before, but had an associated file and a Key available, so were changed
to ShowStart with an ActionItemAssociatedFile. That will not change the
normal output or behavior, but --json output will now include the key.
This should not break it for anyone using a real json parser.
Fixes bug that caused git-annex to fail to add a file when another
git-annex process cleaned up the temp directory it was using.
Solution is just to push withOtherTmp out to a higher level, so that
the whole ingest process can be completed inside it.
But in the assistant, that was not practical to do, since withOtherTmp runs
in the Annex monad and the assistant does not. Worked around by introducing
a separate temp directory that only the assistant uses for lockdown.
Since only one assistant can run at a time, it's easy to clean up that
directory of old cruft at startup.
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.)
What these generate is not really suitable to be used as a filename,
which is why keyFile and fileKey further escape it. These are just
serializing Keys.
Also removed a quickcheck test that was very unlikely to test anything
useful, since it relied on random chance creating something that looks
like a serialized key. The other test is sufficient for testing what
that was intended to test anyway.
This is groundwork for nested seek loops, eg seeking over all files and
then performing commandActions on a list of remotes, which can be done
concurrently.

Added -z option to git-annex commands that use --batch, useful for
supporting filenames containing newlines.
It only controls input to --batch, the output will still be line delimited
unless --json or etc is used to get some other output. While git often
makes -z affect both input and output, I don't like trying them together,
and making it affect output would have been a significant complication,
and also git-annex output is generally not intended to be machine parsed,
unless using --json or a format option.
Commands that take pairs like "file key" still separate them with a space
in --batch mode. All such commands take care to support filenames with
spaces when parsing that, so there was no need to change it, and it would
have needed significant changes to the batch machinery to separate tose
with a null.
To make fromkey and registerurl support -z, I had to give them a --batch
option. The implicit batch mode they enter when not provided with input
parameters does not support -z as that would have complicated option
parsing. Seemed better to move these toward using the same --batch as
everything else, though the implicit batch mode can still be used.

The new second pass sees the file as type changed because the first
pass's changes have typically not reached git yet. So, have to
explicitly check for unmodified files in the second pass.
Note that, if the file has been touched but not really modified,
the first pass will handle it, and so the second pass does nothing.

v6: When a file is unlocked but has not been modified, and the unlocking is
only staged, git-annex add did not lock it. Now it will, for consistency
with how modified files are handled and with v5.
Note the removal of the sameInodeCache check. Otherwise it would see
that the unmodified file is unmodified and stop there. That check seems to have
been copied from the direct mode branch. But, direct mode had a specific
reason to check for unmodified content, that does not apply to v6.
The second pass means there is potential for a race, eg the unlocked
file could be modified in between the first and second passes.
No problem with that, since both passes do the same thing.

When --batch is used with matching options like --in, --metadata, etc, only
operate on the provided files when they match those options. Otherwise, a
blank line is output in the batch protocol.
Affected commands: find, add, whereis, drop, copy, move, get
In the case of find, the documentation for --batch already said it honored
the matching options. The docs for the rest didn't, but it makes sense to
have them honor them. While this is a behavior change, why specify the
matching options with --batch if you didn't want them to apply?
Note that the batch output for all of the affected commands could
already output a blank line in other cases, so batch users should
already be prepared to deal with it.
git-annex metadata didn't seem worth making support the matching options,
since all it does is output metadata or set metadata, the use cases for
using it in combination with the martching options seem small. Made it
refuse to run when they're combined, leaving open the possibility for later
support if a use case develops.

Added --json-error-messages option, which includes error messages in the
json output, rather than outputting them to stderr.
The actual rediretion of errors is not implemented yet, this is only
the docs and option plumbing.

git annex add, git annex lock etc make multiple seek passes,
and each seek pass checked that files existed. That was unncessary
redundant work.
Fixed by adding a new WorkTreeItem type, make seek actions use it,
and check that the files exist when constructing it.

Unlike git add -u, git annex add -u does not update the index for files
removed from the working tree. But then, "git add ." stages removals,
and "git annex add ." does not, so that's an existing divergence.
Seems that --update --batch would need to run git ls-files once per line of
batch input, which would surely be too slow, so just throw an error for
that.

Keeping Text.JSON use for now, because it seems a better fit for most of
the commands, which don't use very structured JSON objects, but just output
whatever fields suites them. But this lets Aeson be used when a more
structured data type is available to serialize to JSON.
* add, addurl, import, importfeed: When in a v6 repository on a crippled
filesystem, add files unlocked.
* annex.addunlocked: New configuration setting, makes files always be
added unlocked. (v6 only)
Linking the file to the tmp dir was not necessary in the clean
filter, and it caused the ctime to change, which caused git to think
the file was changed. This caused git status to get slow as it kept
re-cleaning unchanged files.
importfeed just calls addurl functions, so inherits this from it.
Note that addurl still generates a temp file, and uses that key to download
the file. It just adds it to the work tree at the end when the file is small.
This is a work in progress. It compiles and is able to do basic command
dispatch, including git autocorrection, while using optparse-applicative
for the core commandline parsing.
* Many commands are temporarily disabled before conversion.
* Options are not wired in yet.
* cmdnorepo actions don't work yet.
Also, removed the [Command] list, which was only used in one place.
* init: Repository tuning parameters can now be passed when initializing a
repository for the first time. For details, see
http://git-annex.branchable.com/tuning/
* merge: Refuse to merge changes from a git-annex branch of a repo
that has been tuned in incompatable ways.
This is necessary for interop between inode caches created on unix and
windows. Which is more important than supporting inodecaches for large keys
with the wrong size, which are broken anyway.
There should be no slowdown from this change, except on Windows.
