This can happen when ingesting a new file in either locked or unlocked
mode, when some unlocked files in the repo use the same key, and the
content was not locally available before.
There should be no behavior changes in this commit, it just adds a more
expressive data type and adjusts code that had been passing around a [UUID]
or sometimes a Maybe Remote to instead use [VerifiedCopy].
Although, since some functions were taking two different [UUID] lists,
there's some potential for me to have gotten it horribly wrong.
Note that while the assistant detects changes made to remote names, I left
the commit message fixed rather than calculating it after every commit. It
doesn't seem worth the CPU to do the latter.
* init: Repository tuning parameters can now be passed when initializing a
repository for the first time. For details, see

* merge: Refuse to merge changes from a git-annex branch of a repo
that has been tuned in incompatable ways.
This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
Removed old extensible-exceptions, only needed for very old ghc.
Made webdav use Utility.Exception, to work after some changes in DAV's
exception handling.
Removed Annex.Exception. Mostly this was trivial, but note that
tryAnnex is replaced with tryNonAsync and catchAnnex replaced with
catchNonAsync. In theory that could be a behavior change, since the former
caught all exceptions, and the latter don't catch async exceptions.
However, in practice, nothing in the Annex monad uses async exceptions.
Grepping for throwTo and killThread only find stuff in the assistant,
which does not seem related.
Command.Add.undo is changed to accept a SomeException, and things
that use it for rollback now catch non-async exceptions, rather than
only IOExceptions.
Support users who have set commit.gpgsign, by disabling gpg signatures for
git-annex branch commits and commits made by the assistant.
The thinking here is that a user sets commit.gpgsign intending the commits
that they manually initiate to be gpg signed. But not commits made in the
background, whether by a deamon or implicitly to the git-annex branch.
gpg signing those would be at best a waste of CPU and at worst would fail,
or flood the user with gpg passphrase prompts, or put their signature on
changes they did not directly do.
See Debian bug #753720.
Also makes all commits done by git-annex go through a few central control
points, to make such changes easier in future.
Also disables commit.gpgsign in the test suite.

When in direct mode, update the master branch after committing to the
annex/direct/master branch. Also, update the synced/master branch.
This fixes a topology A->B where both A and B are in direct mode and
running the assistant, and a change is made to B. Before this fix, A pulled
the changes from B, but since they were only on the annex/direct/master
branch, it did not merge them.
Note that I considered making the assistant merge the
remotes/B/annex/direct/master, but decided to keep it simple and only merge
the sync branches as before.
On Windows, changing the time zone causes the apparent mtime of files to
change. This confuses git-annex, which natually thinks this means the files
have actually been modified (since THAT'S WHAT A MTIME IS FOR, BILL <sheesh>).
Work around this stupidity, by using the inode sentinal file to detect if
the timezone has changed, and calculate a TSDelta, which will be applied
when generating InodeCaches.
This should add no overhead at all on unix. Indeed, I sped up a few
things slightly in the refactoring.
Seems to basically work! But it has a big known problem:
If the timezone changes while the assistant (or a long-running command)
runs, it won't notice, since it only checks the inode cache once, and
so will use the old delta for all new inode caches it generates for new
files it's added. Which will result in them seeming changed the next time
it runs.

This allows eg, putting .git/annex/tmp on a ram disk, if the disk IO
of temp object files is too annoying (and if you don't want to keep
partially transferred objects across reboots).
.git/annex/misctmp must be on the same filesystem as the git work tree,
since files are moved to there in a way that will not work cross-device,
as well as symlinked into there.
I first wanted to put the tmp objects in .git/annex/objects/tmp, but
that would pose transition problems on upgrade when partially transferred
objects existed.
git annex info does not currently show the size of .git/annex/misctemp,
since it should stay small. It would also be ok to make something clean it
out, periodically.
Batch detection is heuristic, so can sometimes fail. I observed one such
failure while starting up in a repository with 87000 files. After the first
several batches of ~5000 files, it fell out of batch mode, and never
re-entered it, and so made many more commits of a few files at a time
than necessary.
So, let's always use batch mode when in the startup scan. This avoids the
heuristic there, at least.
There is clearly also room to improve the heuristic. Possibly 10 files is
too high a bar to be found during a commit, on a system that can commit
quickly.
The assistant's commit code also always avoids git commit, for simplicity.
Indirect mode sync still does a git commit -a to catch unstaged changes.
Note that this means that direct mode sync no longer runs the pre-commit
hook or any other hooks git commit might call. The git annex pre-commit
hook action for direct mode is however explicitly run. (The assistant
already ran git commit with hooks disabled, so no change there.)
This bug was introduced in 82a6db8fe8,
which improved handling of adding very large numbers of files by ensuring
that a minimum number of max size commits (5000 files each) were done.
I accidentially made it wait for another change to appear after such a max
size commit, even if a lot of queued changes were already accumulated.
That resulted in a stall when it got to the end. Now fixed to not wait
any longer than necessary to ensure the watcher has had time to wake back
up after the max size commit.

This is a laziness problem. Despite the bang pattern on newfiles, the list
was not being fully evaluated before cleanup was called. Moving cleanup out
to after the list is actually used fixes this.
More evidence that I should be using ResourceT or pipes, if any was needed.
Without this, a very large batch add has commits of sizes approx
5000, 2500, 1250, etc down to 10, and then starts over at 5000.
This fixes it so it's 5000+ every time.
That hook updates associated file bookkeeping info for direct mode.
But, everything already called addAssociatedFile when adding/changing a
file. It only needed to also call removeAssociatedFile when deleting a file,
or a directory.
This should make bulk adds faster, by some possibly significant amount.
Bulk removals may be a little slower, since it has to use catKeyFile now
on each removed file, but will still be faster than adds.
There's a tradeoff between making less frequent commits, and
needing to use memory to store all the changes that are coming
in. At 10 thousand, it needs 150 mb of memory. 5 thousand drops
that down to 90 mb or so.
This also turns out to have significant imact on total run time.
I benchmarked 10k changes taking 27 minutes. But two 5k batches
took only 21 minutes.
If an add failed, we should lose the KeySource, since it, presumably,
differs due to a change that was made to the file.
(The locked down file is already deleted.)
Turns out that a lot of the time spent in a bulk add was just updating the
add alert to rotate through each file that was added. Showing one alert
makes for a significant speedup.
Also, when the webapp is open, this makes it take quite a lot less cpu
during bulk adds.
Also, it lets the user know when a bulk add happened, which is sorta
nice..
Fixed by storing a list of cached inodes for a key, instead of just one.
Backwards compatability note: An old git-annex version will fail to parse
an inode cache file that has been written by a new version, and has
multiple items. It will succees if just one. So old git-annexes will have
even worse behavior when there are duplicated files, if that is possible.
I don't think it will be a problem. (Famous last words.)
Also, note that it doesn't expire old and unused inode caches for a key.
It would be possible to add this if needed; just look through the
associated files for a key and if there are more cached inodes, throw out
any not corresponding to associated files. Unless a file is being copied
repeatedly and the old copy deleted, this lack of expiry should not be a
problem.
* since this is a crippled filesystem anyway, git-annex doesn't use
symlinks on it
* so there's no reason to use the mixed case hash directories that we're
stuck using to avoid breaking everyone's symlinks to the content
* so we can do what is already done for all bare repos, and make non-bare
repos on crippled filesystems use the all-lower case hash directories
* which are, happily, all 3 letters long, so they cannot conflict with
mixed case hash directories
* so I was able to 100% fix this and even resuming `git annex add` in the
test case will recover and it will all just work.
Rather than wait a full second, which may be longer than needed, or too
short to get all the rename events, we start a mode where we wait 1/10th of
a second, and if there are Changes received, wait again. Basically we're
back in batch mode when this happens.
This cleaned up the code quite a bit; now the committer just looks at the
Change to see if it's a change that needs to have a transfer queued for it.
If I later want to add dropping keys for files that were removed, or
something like that, this should make it straightforward.
This also fixes a bug. In direct mode, moving a file out of an archive
directory failed to start a transfer to get its content. The problem
was that the file had not been committed to git yet, and so the transfer
code didn't want to touch it, since fileKey failed to get its key.
Only starting transfers after a commit avoids this problem.
