options make it easier to override annex.largefiles configuration
(and potentially safer as it avoids bugs like the smudge bug fixed
in the last release)
Deleted some old comments that were posted to the man page discussing such
options.
Updated docs that used -c annex.largefiles to use the options.
Note that addSmallOverridden was needed to avoid the clean filter running
on the file. It would be possible to make addFile also update the index
directly, rather than going via git add. However, it was not necessary,
and I want to avoid breaking on some edge case, particularly if the code in
addSmallOverridden has some oversight.
Also, when annex.addunlocked is set and annex.largefiles does not match a file,
git annex add --force-large works, but git status will then show the file
as added, with a unstaged modification. The unstaged modification adds the
file to git. This is identical behavior to using -c annex.largefiles=nothing
when annex.addunlocked is set. This does not prevent committing what was
intended to be added. I have not gotten to the bottom of why git thinks
the file is modified and runs it through the clean filter in this case.
prop_encode_decode_roundtrip failed on "\175" in C locale.
This may be a new problem after the switch to RawFilePath, but it
already had filtering for high chars, so changed to only test ascii
chars.
Test case has been intermittently failing, with an AssociatedFile that
somehow contains a NUL despite it being filtered out. My guess is
something to do with locales. This new approach should prevent any NUL
at all, although it does weigh the distribution a bit more toward
Nothing.
smudge: When annex.largefiles=anything, files that were already stored in
git, and have not been modified could sometimes be converted to being
stored in the annex. Changes in 7.20191024 made this more of a problem.
This case is now detected and prevented.
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
* annex.addunlocked can be set to an expression with the same format used by
annex.largefiles, in case you want to default to unlocking some files but
not others.
* annex.addunlocked can be configured by git-annex config.
Added a git-annex-matching-expression man page, broken out from
tips/largefiles.
A tricky consequence of this is that git-annex add --relaxed
honors annex.addunlocked, but an expression might want to know the size
or content of an url, which it's not going to download. I decided it was
better not to fail, and just dummy up some plausible data in that case.
Performance impact should be negligible. The global config is already
loaded for annex.largefiles. The expression only has to be parsed once,
and in the simple true/false case, it should not do any additional work
matching it.
