They are handled close the same as they are by git. However, unlike git,
git-annex sometimes needs to pass the -n parameter when using these.
So, this has the potential for breaking some setup, and perhaps there ought
to be a ANNEX_USE_GIT_SSH=1 needed to use these. But I'd rather avoid that
if possible, so let's see if anyone complains.
Almost all places where "ssh" was run have been changed to support the env
vars. Anything still calling sshOptions does not support them. In
particular, rsync special remotes don't. Seems that annex-rsync-transport
already gives sufficient control there.
(Fixed in passing: Remote.Helper.Ssh.toRepo used to extract
remoteAnnexSshOptions and pass them to sshOptions, which was redundant
since sshOptions also extracts those.)

Fix bug when used with a recently cloned repository, where
"merging" messages were included in the output of configlist (and perhaps
other commands) and caused a "Failed to get annex.uuid configuration"
error.
This does not seem to have been a reversion.
I saw this with configlist, but it seems possible for other commands to be
effected, and it might not always happen only after a fresh clone. Eg, if a
foo/git-annex branch is pushed to the remote, the next git-annex-shell will
auto-merge it and display the message.
Decided to run all git-annex-shell commands with noMessages,
even ones that don't currently use stdout for structured communication.
Better to keep open the possibility for using stdout in the future.

The bug was that withFile closes the handle afterwards, but the content
of the file was not read due to laziness. Using readFile avoids it.

findShellCommand needs a full path to a file in order to check it for a
shebang on Windows. It was being run with only the base name of the external
special remote program, which would only work when it was in the current
directory.
This is why users in
https://github.com/DanielDent/git-annex-remote-rclone/pull/10 and elsewhere
were complaining that the previous improvements to git-annex didn't make
git-remote-rclone work on Windows.
Also, reworked checkearlytermination, which while it worked, seemed
to rely on a race condition. And, improved its error messages.

It was distributing jobs to remotes that were not being used by any other
job. But, suppose that there are only 2 remotes, and -J10. In such a case,
the first 2 downloads would be distributed amoung the 2 remotes, but
the other 8 would all go to remote #1. Improved by keeping a counter
of how many jobs are assigned to a remote, and prefer remotes with fewer
jobs.
Note use of Data.Map.Strict to avoid blowing up space. I kept the
bang-patterns as-is, although probably not needed with Data.Map.Strict.

The slowdown is not going to be large in typical small-ish repos.
And it does not seem to matter if the assistant reacts a little bit slower
in situations involving the expensive scan, since:
a) Those situations typically involve getting back in sync after something
has changed on a remote, often after a disconnect of some duration.
So taking a few seconds more is not noticable.
b) If the scan finds things that it needs to do, it will start
blocking anyway after 10 transfers are queued (due to use of
queueTransferWhenSmall). So, only the speed of finding the first 10
transfers will be impacted by this change.

It was relying on segmentPaths to work correctly, so when it didn't,
sometimes the file that did not exist got matched up with a non-null
list of results. Fixed by always checking if each parameter exists.
There are two reason segmentPaths might not work correctly.
For one, it assumes that when the original list of paths
has more than 100 paths, it's not worth paying the CPU cost to
preserve input orders.
And then, it fails when a directory such as "." or ".." or
/path/to/repo is in the input list, and the list of found paths
does not start with that same thing. It should probably not be using
dirContains, but something else.
But, it's not clear how to handle this fully. Consider
when [".", "subdir"] has been expanded by git ls-files to
["subdir/1", "subdir/2"]
-- Both of the inputs contained those results, so there's
no one right answer for segmentPaths. All these would be equally valid:
[["subdir/1", "subdir/2"], []]
[[], ["subdir/1", "subdir/2"]]
[["subdir/1"], [""subdir/2"]]
So I've not tried to improve segmentPaths.
* init: When annex.securehashesonly has been set with git-annex config,
copy that value to the annex.securehashesonly git config.
* config --set: As well as setting value in git-annex branch,
set local gitconfig. This is needed especially for
annex.securehashesonly, which is read only from local gitconfig and not
the git-annex branch.
doc/todo/sha1_collision_embedding_in_git-annex_keys.mdwn has the
rationalle for doing it this way. There's no perfect solution; this
seems to be the least-bad one.

Added --securehash option to match files using a secure hash function, and
corresponding securehash preferred content expression.
This commit was sponsored by Ethan Aubin.
Cryptographically secure hashes can be forced to be used in a repository,
by setting annex.securehashesonly. This does not prevent the git repository
from containing files with insecure hashes, but it does prevent the content
of such files from being pulled into .git/annex/objects from another
repository.
We want to make sure that at no point does git-annex accept content into
.git/annex/objects that is hashed with an insecure key. Here's how it
was done:
* .git/annex/objects/xx/yy/KEY/ is kept frozen, so nothing can be
written to it normally
* So every place that writes content must call, thawContent or modifyContent.
We can audit for these, and be sure we've considered all cases.
* The main functions are moveAnnex, and linkToAnnex; these were made to
check annex.securehashesonly, and are the main security boundary
for annex.securehashesonly.
* Most other calls to modifyContent deal with other files in the KEY
directory (inode cache etc). The other ones that mess with the content
are:
- Annex.Direct.toDirectGen, in which content already in the
annex directory is moved to the direct mode file, so not relevant.
- fix and lock, which don't add new content
- Command.ReKey.linkKey, which manually unlocks it to make a
copy.
* All other calls to thawContent appear safe.
Made moveAnnex return a Bool, so checked all callsites and made them
deal with a failure in appropriate ways.
linkToAnnex simply returns LinkAnnexFailed; all callsites already deal
with it failing in appropriate ways.

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.
sync: When syncing with a local repository located on a crippled
filesystem, run the post-receive hook there, since it wouldn't get run
otherwise. This makes pushing to repos on FAT-formatted removable drives
update them when receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead.
Made Remote.Git export onLocal, which was cleaned up to not have so many
caveats about its use.

config group groupwanted numcopies schedule wanted required: Avoid
displaying extraneous messages about repository auto-init, git-annex branch
merging, etc, when being used to get information.
By displaying error messages from the remote then it fails to update
its checked out branch.
Error messages in the default receive.denyCurrentBranch are still
suppressed, which matches user expectations.

... to avoid it consuming stdin that it shouldn't.
This fixes git-annex-checkpresentkey --batch remote, which didn't output
results for all keys passed into it.
Other git-annex commands that communicate with a remote over ssh may also
have been consuming stdin that they shouldn't have, which could have
impacted using them in eg, shell scripts. For example, a shell script
reading files from stdin and passing them to git annex drop would be
impacted by this bug, whenever git annex drop ran git-annex-shell
checkpresent, it would consume part/all of the stdin that the shell script
was supposed to consume.
Fixed by adding a ConsumeStdin parameter to Annex.Ssh.sshOptions, which
is used throughout git-annex to run ssh (in order for ssh connection
caching to work). Every call site was checked to see if it used
CreatePipe for stdin, and if not was marked NoConsumeStdin.
At first I wanted to make it go ahead and merge into the newborn branch,
so made it use Git.Branch.currentUnsafe to get the current branch. But that
failed:
fatal: ambiguous argument 'refs/heads/master..refs/heads/synced/master':
unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
A whole nother code path to handle merging into newborn branches seemed
excessive, so went with displaying a warning and propigating failure
status.

Refactored some common code into initDb.
This only deals with the problem when creating new databases. If a repo
got bad permissions into it, it's up to the user to deal with it.

The check was broken in two ways.. First, nowhere did it error out when
checkUUIDFile found a different UUID already in the file. Instead,
it overwrote the uuid file.
And, checkUUIDFile's implementation was for some reason always failing with
a ConnectionClosed exception. Apparently something to do with using two
different runResourceT's and a response getting GCed inbetween. I'm pretty
sure that used to work, but changed to a more obviously correct
implementation.
