When git-annex-shell p2pstdio fails with 255, it's because the ssh
server is not reachable. Avoid running the fallback action in this case,
since it would just try a second time to connect, and presumably fail.
Note that the closed P2PSshConnection will not be stored in the pool,
so the next request tries again to connect. This is just the right
behavior; when the remote becomes reachable again, the same git-annex
process will start using it.

Unfortunately ReceiveMessage didn't handle unknown messages the way it
was documented to; client sending VERSION would cause the server to
return an ERROR and hang up. Fixed that, but old releases of git-annex
use the P2P protocol for tor and will still have that behavior.
So, version is not negotiated for Remote.P2P connections, only for
Remote.Git connections, which will support VERSION from their first
release. There will need to be a later flag day to change Remote.P2P;
left a commented out line that is the only thing that will need to be
changed then.
Version 1 of the P2P protocol is not implemented yet, but updated
the docs for the DATA change that will be allowed by that version.

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.

Not yet used for everything else, but this is enough to
verify that it works, and do some benchmarking.
Some bugfixes included, which got it working. Also fallback to old
actions has been verified to work correctly.
Benchmarked dropping one thousand files from a ssh remote on localhost.
Using the old git-annex 40.867 seconds.
With the P2P protocol 9.905 seconds!

Not yet used by git-annex, but this will allow faster transfers etc than
using individual ssh connections and rsync.
Not called git-annex-shell p2p, because git-annex p2p does something
else and I don't want two subcommands with the same name between the two
for sanity reasons.

Renaming is not supported; it might be possible to use --fuzzy to get rsync
to notice the file is being renamed, but that is a bit ..fuzzy.
On the other hand, interrupted transfers of an exported file are resumed,
since rsync is great at that. Had to adjust the exporttree docs, which
said interrupted transfers would restart.
Note that remove no longer makes the empty directory dummy, instead
sending the top-level empty directory. This works just as well and I
noticed the dummy was unncessary when refactoring it into removeGeneric.
Verified that behavior of remove is not changed, and git annex
testremote does pass.

A top-level .noannex file will prevent git-annex init from being used in a
repository. This is useful for repositories that have a policy reason not
to use git-annex. The content of the file will be displayed to the user who
tries to run git-annex init.
This also affects git annex reinit and initialization via the webapp.
It does not affect automatic inits, when there's a sibling git-annex branch

This will be used in youtube-dl integration, to tell when a html page has
been downloaded by addurl, in which case it is worth running youtube-dl
to see if it can extract media from it.
tagsoup is an almost free dependency, because yesod depends on it.
So, this only really adds a dep when git-annex is built without the
webapp.
I'd like this to as closely as possible match how browsers decide if a
page is html or not. Unfortunately, that is fairly heuristic, in order
to support malformed html. And, we don't want to falsely detect
something as html just because it has something that looks like a html
tag embedded somewhere in it. Probably any major video hosting site is
going to be serving html documents that at least start with a <html>
tag, so requiring that or a DOCTYPE should be good enough.

This is similar to the pusher thread, but a separate thread because git
pushes can be done in parallel with exports, and updating a big export
should not prevent other git pushes going out in the meantime.
The exportThread only runs at most every 30 seconds, since updating an
export is more expensive than pushing. This may need to be tuned.
Added a separate channel for export commits; the committer records a
commit in that channel.
Also, reconnectRemotes records a dummy commit, to make the exporter
thread wake up and make sure all exports are up-to-date. So,
connecting a drive with a directory special remote export will
immediately update it, and getting online will automatically
update S3 and WebDAV exports.
The transfer queue is not involved in exports. Instead, failed
exports are retried much like failed pushes.

The bug occurred when closeDb was not called, and garbage collection of

Apparently box.com renaming is just buggy. I tried a couple of fixes:
* In case the http Manager was opening multiple connections and reaching
different backend servers, I tried limiting the number of connections
to 1. Didn't help.
* To make sure it was not a http connection reuse problem, I tried
rewriting how exportAction works, so that the same http connection
is clearly open. Didn't help.
So, disable renaming of exports for box.com. It would be good to test it
with some other webdav server.

Don't allow "exporttree=yes" to be set when the special remote
does not support exports. That would be confusing since the user would

The export database has writes made to it and then expects to read back
the same data immediately. But, the way that Database.Handle does
writes, in order to support multiple writers, makes that not work, due
to caching issues. This resulted in export re-uploading files it had
already successfully renamed into place.
Fixed by allowing databases to be opened in MultiWriter or SingleWriter
mode. The export database only needs to support a single writer; it does
not make sense for multiple exports to run at the same time to the same
special remote.
All other databases still use MultiWriter mode. And by inspection,
nothing else in git-annex seems to be relying on being able to
immediately query for changes that were just written to the database.

Straightforward enough, except for the needed belt-and-suspenders sanity
checks to avoid foot shooting due to exports not being key/value stores.
* Even when annex.verify=false, always verify from exports.
* Only get files from exports that use a backend that supports
checksum verification.
* Never trust exports, even if the user says to, because then
`git annex drop` would drop content if the export seemed to contain
a copy.

Removed uncorrect UniqueKey key in db schema; a key can appear multiple
times with different files.
The database has to be flushed after each removal. But when adding files
to the export, lots of changes are able to be queued up w/o flushing.
So it's still fairly efficient.
If large removals of files from exports are too slow, an alternative
would be to make two passes over the diff, one pass queueing deletions
from the database, then a flush and the a second pass updating the
location log. But that would use more memory, and need to look up
exportKey twice per removed file, so I've avoided such optimisation yet.

Unlike git add -u, git annex add -u does not update the index for files

Yesterday's SHA1 collision attack could be used to generate eg:
SHA256-sfoo--whatever.good
SHA256-sfoo--whatever.bad
Such that they collide. A repository with the good one could have the
bad one swapped in and signed commits would still verify.
I've already mitigated this.
I am not happy that I had to put backend-specific code in file2key. But
it would be very difficult to avoid this layering violation.
Most of the time, when parsing a Key from a symlink target, git-annex
never looks up its Backend at all, so adding this check to a method of
the Backend object would not work.
The Key could be made to contain the appropriate
Backend, but since Backend is parameterized on an "a" that is fixed to
the Annex monad later, that would need Key to change to "Key a".
The only way to clean this up that I can see would be to have the Key
contain a LowlevelBackend, and put the validation in LowlevelBackend.
Perhaps later, but that would be an extensive change, so let's not do
it in this commit which may want to cherry-pick to backports.

* Run curl with -S, so HTTP errors are displayed, even when
it's otherwise silent.
* When downloading in --json or --quiet mode, use curl in preference
to wget, since curl is able to display only errors to stderr, unlike
wget.
This does mean that downloadQuiet is only silent on stdout, not necessarily
on stderr, which affects a couple other calls of it. For example,
downloading the .git/config of a http remote may show an error message now,
perhaps with slightly suboptimal formatting due to other output.
This adds one extra line of output when a download is successful,
after the progress bar. I don't much like that, but wget does not provide a
way to show HTTP errors without it.
I've seen this thing, whatever it is, mentioned in spam links before,
so even if it's valid for some OS (probably not the one being asked

This is the same as running git annex reinject --known, followed by

... to control the default behavior in all clones of a repository.
This includes a new Configurable data type, so the GitConfig type indicates
which values can be configured this way.
The implementation should be quite efficient; the config log is only read
once, and only when a Configurable value has not already been set by
git-config.
Indeed, it would be nice in the future to extend this, so that git-config
is itself only read on demand. Some commands may not need to look at the
git configuration at all.

This way we know that after enable-tor, the tor hidden service is fully
published and working, and so there should be no problems with it at
pairing time.
It has to start up its own temporary listener on the hidden service. It
would be nice to have it start the remotedaemon running, so that extra
step is not needed afterwards. But, there may already be a remotedaemon
running, in communication with the assistant and we don't want to start
another one. I thought about trying to HUP any running remotedaemon, but
Windows does not make it easy to do that. In any case, having the user
start the remotedaemon themselves lets them know it needs to be running
to serve the hidden service.

Multiple external special remote processes for the same remote will be
started as needed when using -J.
This should not beak any existing external special remotes, because running
multiple git-annex commands at the same time could already start multiple
processes for the same external special remotes.
Only done in -J mode because only if there's concurrency can downloading
from two remotes be faster. Without concurrency, it's likely the case that
sequential downloads from the same remote are faster than switching back
and forth between two remotes.

--failed also uses them.
Remove the failure log files after successful transfers. Should avoid
most of the clutter problems.
Commit 61ccf95004 mentions a subtle behavior
change, which has now been reverted:
There is one behavior change from this. If glacier is being used, and a
manual git annex get --from glacier fails because the file isn't available
yet, the assistant will no longer later see that failed transfer file and
retry the get.
Note that get --from foo --failed will get things that a previous get --from bar
tried and failed to get, etc. I considered making --failed only retry
transfers from the same remote, but it was easier, and seems more useful,
to not have the same remote requirement.
Noisy due to some refactoring into Types/
Show branch:file that is being operated on.
I had to make ActionItem a type and not a type class because
withKeyOptions' passed two different types of values when using the type
class, and I could not get the type checker to accept that.
Added --branch option to copy, drop, fsck, get, metadata, mirror, move, and
whereis commands. This option makes git-annex operate on files that are
included in a specified branch (or other treeish).
The names of the files from the branch that are being operated on are not
displayed yet; only the keys. Displaying the filenames will need changes
to every affected command.
Also, note that --branch can be specified repeatedly. This is not really
documented, but seemed worth supporting, especially since we may later want
the ability to operate on all branches matching a refspec. However, when
operating on two branches that contain the same key, that key will be
operated on twice.
This is useful for makking a special remote that anyone with a clone of the
repo and your public keys can upload files to, but only you can decrypt the
files stored in it.
git 2.8.1 (or perhaps 2.9.0) is going to prevent git merge from merging in
unrelated branches. Since the webapp's pairing etc features often combine
together repositories with unrelated histories, work around this behavior
change by setting GIT_MERGE_ALLOW_UNRELATED_HISTORIES when the assistant
merges.
Note though that this is not done for git annex sync's merges, so
it will follow git's default or configured behavior.

This lets readonly repos be used. If a repo is readonly, we can ignore the
keys database, because nothing that we can do will change the state of the
repo anyway.
The benchmark shows that the database access is quite fast indeed!
And, it scales linearly to the number of keys, with one exception,
getAssociatedKey.
Based on this benchmark, I don't think I need worry about optimising
for cases where all files are locked and the database is mostly empty.
In those cases, database access will be misses, and according to this
benchmark, should add only 50 milliseconds to runtime.
(NB: There may be some overhead to getting the database opened and locking
the handle that this benchmark doesn't see.)

Several tricky parts:
* When the conflict is just between the same key being locked and unlocked,
the unlocked version wins, and the file is not renamed in this case.
* Need to update associated file map when conflict resolution renames
an unlocked file.
* git merge runs the smudge filter on the conflicting file, and actually
overwrites the file with the same content it had before, and so
invalidates its inode cache. This makes it difficult to know when it's
safe to remove such files as conflict cruft, without going so far as to
compare their entire contents.
Dealt with this by preventing the smudge filter from populating the file
when a merge is run. However, that also prevents the smudge filter being
run for non-conflicting files, so eg moving a file won't put its new
content into place.
* Ideally, if a merge or a merge conflict resolution renames an unlocked
file, the file in the work tree can just be moved, rather than copying
the content to a new worktree file.
This is attempted to be done in merge conflict resolution, but
due to git merge's behavior of running smudge filters, what actually
seems to happen is the old worktree file with the content is deleted and
rewritten as a pointer file, so doesn't get reused.
So, this is probably not as efficient as it optimally could be.
If that becomes a problem, could look into running the merge in a separate
worktree and updating the real worktree more efficiently, similarly to the
direct mode merge. However, the direct mode merge had a lot of bugs, and
I'd rather not use that more error-prone method unless really needed.
Decided it's too scary to make v6 unlocked files have 1 copy by default,
but that should be available to those who need it. This is consistent with
git-annex not dropping unused content without --force, etc.
* Added annex.thin setting, which makes unlocked files in v6 repositories
be hard linked to their content, instead of a copy. This saves disk
space but means any modification of an unlocked file will lose the local
(and possibly only) copy of the old version.
* Enable annex.thin by default on upgrade from direct mode to v6, since
direct mode made the same tradeoff.
* fix: Adjusts unlocked files as configured by annex.thin.
Writes are optimised by queueing up multiple writes when possible.
The queue is flushed after the Annex monad action finishes. That makes it
happen on program termination, and also whenever a nested Annex monad action
finishes.
Reads are optimised by checking once (per AnnexState) if the database
exists. If the database doesn't exist yet, all reads return mempty.
Reads also cause queued writes to be flushed, so reads will always be
consistent with writes (as long as they're made inside the same Annex monad).
A future optimisation path would be to determine when that's not necessary,
which is probably most of the time, and avoid flushing unncessarily.
Design notes for this commit:
- separate reads from writes
- reuse a handle which is left open until program
exit or until the MVar goes out of scope (and autoclosed then)
- writes are queued
- queue is flushed periodically
- immediate queue flush before any read
- auto-flush queue when database handle is garbage collected
- flush queue on exit from Annex monad
(Note that this may happen repeatedly for a single database connection;
or a connection may be reused for multiple Annex monad actions,
possibly even concurrent ones.)
- if database does not exist (or is empty) the handle
is not opened by reads; reads instead return empty results
- writes open the handle if it was not open previously
The annex object for it may have been modified due to hard link, and
that should be cleaned up when the new version is added. If another
associated file has the old key's content, that's linked into the annex
object. Otherwise, update location log to reflect that content has been
lost.
When a v6 unlocked files is removed from the work tree,
unused doesn't show it. When it gets removed from the index,
unused does show it. This is the same as a locked file.
This only adds 1 stat to each file fscked for locked files, so
added overhead is minimal.
For unlocked files it has to access the database to see if a file
is modified.
If multiple files point to the same annex object, the user may want to
modify them independently, so don't use a hard link.
Also, check diskreserve when copying.
Note that the implementation uses replaceFile, so that the actual
replacement of the work tree file is atomic. This seems a good property to
have!
It would be possible for unlock in v6 mode to be run on files that do not
have their content present. However, that would be a behavior change from
before, and I don't see any immediate need to support it, so I didn't
implement it.
This avoids querying the database when the content file doen't exist
(or otherwise fails the provided check). However, it does add overhead of
querying the database, and will certianly impact performance.
The Keys database can hold multiple inode caches for a given key. One for
the annex object, and one for each pointer file, which may not be hard
linked to it.
Inode caches for a key are recorded when its content is added to the annex,
but only if it has known pointer files. This is to avoid the overhead of
maintaining the database when not needed.
When the smudge filter outputs a file's content, the inode cache is not
updated, because git's smudge interface doesn't let us write the file. So,
dropping will fall back to doing an expensive verification then. Ideally,
git's interface would be improved, and then the inode cache could be
updated then too.
This removes ambiguity, because while someone might have "WORM--foo" in a
file that's not intended to be a git-annex pointer file,
"annex/objects/WORM--foo" is less likely.
Also, 664cc987e8 had a caveat about symlink
targets being parsed as pointer files, and now the same parser is used for
both.
I did not include any hash directories before the key in the pointer file,
as they're not needed. However, if they were included, the parser would
still work ok.
Note that this changes the default behavior of git add in a newly
initialized repository; it will add files to the annex.
Don't like that this could break workflows, but it's necessary in order for
any pointer files in the repo to be handled by git-annex.
Since all places where a repo is used in direct mode need to have git-annex
upgraded before the repo can safely be converted to v6, the upgrade needs
to be manual for now.
I suppose that at some point I'll want to drop all the direct mode support
code. At that point, will stop supporting v5, and will need to auto-upgrade
any remaining v5 repos. If possible, I'd like to carry the direct mode
support for say, a year or so, to give people plenty of time to upgrade and
avoid disruption.
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.
Implemented with no additional overhead of compares etc.
This is safe to do for presence logs because of their locality of change;
a given repo's presence logs are only ever changed in that repo, or in a
repo that has just been actively changing the content of that repo.
So, we don't need to worry about a split-brain situation where there'd
be disagreement about the location of a key in a repo. And so, it's ok to
not update the timestamp when that's the only change that would be made
due to logging presence info.
* When annex objects are received into git repositories, their checksums are
verified then too.
* To get the old, faster, behavior of not verifying checksums, set
annex.verify=false, or remote.<name>.annex-verify=false.
* setkey, rekey: These commands also now verify that the provided file
matches the key, unless annex.verify=false.
* reinject: Already verified content; this can now be disabled by
setting annex.verify=false.
recvkey and reinject already did verification, so removed now duplicate
code from them. fsck still does its own verification, which is ok since it
does not use getViaTmp, so verification doesn't happen twice when using fsck
--from.
Seems easy, but git ls-files can't list the right subset of files.
So, I wrote a whole new parser for git status output, and converted the
status command to use that.
There are a few other small behavior changes. The order changed. Unlocked
files show as T. In indirect mode, deleted files were not shown before, and
that's fixed. Regular files checked directly into git and modified
were not shown before, and are now.
