git add will fail if the file got deleted in the meantime. And since it was
queued, there was a window until the queue flushed where a deletion of the
file would cause a crash.
Instead, reuse Command.Add.addFile, which sha1 hashes the file itself
immediately, and then queues the index update. Ignore exceptions that will
happen if the file got deleted already.

Optimise database to further speed up importing large trees from special
remotes.
See comment for details of why the other index didn't help cid queries.
It would probably be better to manually create an index on only cid, rather
than adding a second uniqueness constraint that is a larger index. But
persitent does not support creating indexes, and an attempt to manually add
it to the migration failed.

This avoids bottlenecking on git check-ignore in a particular situation.
Also, there may have been a correctness issue with it not having updated it.
When the exportdb is already up-to-date, this is not expensive. And the
exportdb is updated elsewhere, so usually it is up-to-date.

Speeds up eg git-annex sync --content by up to 50%. When it does not need
to transfer or drop anything, it now noops a lot more quickly.
I didn't see anything else in sync --content noop loop that could really
be sped up. It has to cat git objects to keys, stat object files, etc.

Speed up importing trees from special remotes somewhat by avoiding
redundant writes to sqlite database.
Before, import would write to both the git-annex branch and also to the
sqlite database. But then the next time it was run, needsUpdateFromLog
would see the branch had changed, so run updateFromLog, which would make
the same writes to the sqlite database a second time.
Now import writes only to the git-annex branch. The next time it's run,
needsUpdateFromLog sees that the branch has changed and so calls
updateFromLog, which updates the sqlite database.
Why defer the write to the sqlite database like this? It seems that it
could write to the database as it goes, and at the end call
recordAnnexBranchTree to indicate that the information in the git-annex
branch has all been written to the cidsdb. That would avoid the second
import doing extra work.
But, there could be other processes running at the same time, and one of
them may update the git-annex branch, eg merging a remote git-annex branch
into it. Any cids logs on that merged git-annex branch would not be
reflected in the cidsdb yet. If the import then called
recordAnnexBranchTree, the cidsdb would never get updated with that merged
information.
I don't think there's a good way to prevent, or to detect that situation.
So, it can't call recordAnnexBranchTree at the end. So it might as well
wait until the next run and do updateFromLog then. It could instead do
updateFromLog at the end, but it's going to check needsUpdateFromLog
at the beginning anyway.
Note that the database writes were queued, so there is already a cidmap
that is used to remember changes that the current process has made.
So, omitting database writes can't change the behavior of the current
process.
Also note that thirdpartypopulatedimport uses recordcidkeyindb, which
reflects what it already did. That code path does not use the cidmap,
but does not need to query it either. It might be possible to make that
code path also only update the git-annex branch and not the db, but I
haven't checked.

The obvious way to fix this would be to adapt lines to split on null.
However, it's actually nontrivial to rewrite lines. In particular it has a
weird implementation to avoid a space leak. See:
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/4334
Also, while that is a small amount of code, it's covered by a rather
complex copyright and I'd have to include that copyright in git-annex.
So, I opted to filter out the trailing empty string instead.

enableremote: Support enableremote of a git remote (that was previously set
up with initremote) when additional parameters such as autoenable= are
passed.
The enableremote special case for regular git repos is intended to handle
ones that don't have a UUID probed, and the user wants git-annex to
re-probe. So, that special case is still needed. But, in that special
case, the user is not passing any extra parameters. So, when there are
parameters, instead run the special remote setup code. That requires there
to be a uuid known already, and it allows changing things like autoenable=
Remote.Git.enableRemote changed to be a no-op if a git remote with the name
already exists. Which it generally will in this case.

registerurl: When an url is claimed by a special remote other than the web,
update location tracking for that special remote.
registerurl's behavior was changed in commit
451171b7c1, apparently accidentially to not
update location tracking except for the web.
This makes registerurl followed by unregisterurl not be a no-op, when the
url happens to be claimed by a remote other than the web. It is a noop when
the url is unclaimed except by the web. I don't like the inconsistency,
and wish that registerurl and unregisterurl never updated location
tracking, which would be more in keeping with them being plumbing.
But there is the fact that it used to behave this way, and also it was
inconsistent that it updated location tracking for the web but not for
other remotes, unlike addurl. And there's an argument that the user might
not know what remote to expect to claim an url, so would be considerably in
the dark when using registerurl. (Although they have to know what content
gets downloaded, since they specify a key..)

This serves two purposes. --remote=web bypasses other special remotes that
claim the url, same as addurl --raw. And, specifying some other remote
allows making sure that an url is claimed by the remote you expect,
which makes then using setpresentkey not be fragile.

Remote.Directory makes a temp file, then calls this, and since the temp
file exists, it prevented probing if CoW works.
Note that deleting the empty file does mean there's a small window for a
race. If another process is also exporting to the remote, that could let it
make the same temp file. However, the temp filename actually has the
processes's pid in it, which avoids that being a problem.
This may have been a reversion caused by commits around
63d508e885, but I haven't gone back and
tested to be sure. The directory special remote had supposedly supported
CoW for this going back to about half a year before that.

Fixed by passing the Backend that will be used for the final key into

Such an url is not valid; parseURI will fail on it. But git-annex doesn't
actually need to parse the url, because all it needs to do to support
syncing with it is know that it's not a local path, and use git pull and
push.
(Note that there is no good reason for the user to use such an url. An
absolute url is valid and I patched git-remote-gcrypt to support them
years ago. Still, users gonna do anything that tools allow, and
git-remote-gcrypt still supports them.)

A repository can have a newline in its description due to being in a
directory containing a newline, or due to git-annex describe being
passed a string with a newline in it for some reason. Putting that
newline in uuid.log breaks its format.
So, escape the newline when it enters uuid.log, to \n
This is a one-way escaping, it is not converted back to a newline
when reading the log. If it were, commands like git-annex info and
whereis would display a multi-line description, which could be confusing
to read.
And, implementing roundtripping would necessarily cause problems if an
old version of git-annex were used to set a description that contained
whatever special character is used to escape the \n. Eg, a \ or if
it used the ! prefix before base64 data that is used in some other logs,
the ! character. Then the description set by the old git-annex would not
roundtrip.
There just doesn't seem to be any benefit of roundtripping newlines through,
so why bother? And, git often displays \n for newline when a filename
contains a newline, so git-annex doing it in this case seems sorta ok
by analogy to git.
(Some other git-annex logs can also have newlines put into them if the
user really wants to break git-annex. For example:
git-annex config annex.largefiles "foo
bar"
The full list is probably config.log, remote.log, group.log,
preferred-content.log, required-content.log,
group-preferred-content.log, schedule.log. Probably there is no
good reason to use a newline in any of these, and the breakage is
probably limited to the bad data the user put in not coming back out.
And users can write any garbage to log files themselves manually in any
case. So, I am not going to address all of those at this time. If a
problem such as this one with the newline in the repository path comes
up, it can be dealt with on a case by case basis.)

git hash-object --stdin-paths is a newline protocol so it cannot
support them. It would help to not use absPath, when the problem
is that the repository itself is in a path with a newline. But,
there's a reason it used absPath, which is that
git hash-object --stdin-paths actually chdirs to the top of the
repository on startup! That is not documented, and I think is a bug
in git.
I considered making the path relative to the top of the repo, but
then what if this is a git bug and gets fixed? git-annex would break
horribly.
So instead, keep the absPath, but when the path contains a newline,
fall back to running git hash-object once per file, which avoids
the problem with newlines and --stdin-paths. It will be slower,
but this is an edge case. (Similar slow code paths are already used
elsewhere when dealing with filenames with newlines and other parts
of git that use line-based protocols.)
