Fourth or fifth try at this and finally found a way to make it work.
Absurd amount of busy-work forced on me by change in cabal's behavior.
Split up Utility modules that need posix stuff out of ones used by
Setup. Various other hacks around inability for Setup to use anything
that ifdefs a use of unix.
Probably lost a full day of my life to this.
This is how build systems make their users hate them. Just saying.
This avoids warnings from stack about the module not being listed in the
cabal file. So, the generated file is also renamed to Build/SysConfig.
Note that the setup program seems to be cached despite these changes; I
had to cabal clean to get cabal to update it so that Build/SysConfig was
written.

They need unix on non-windows, for Utility.Env, which Build.Configure uses,
but cabal can't express that in a custom-setup stanza.
To avoid this problem, Utility.Env would need to be moved into
unix-compat..
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.
This was originally done in a7ef05a9, but got lost in some change to the
Makefile. Use CROSS_COMPILE=Android to tell configure that it's configuring
for android instead of passing it a parameter.
It started exporting a isSymbolicLink which supports windows. But,
git-annex does no use symlinks on windows yet and this conflicts with the
function by the same name from unix-compat, so hide it.
This avoids cp -a overriding the default mode acls that the user might have
set in a git repository.
With GNU cp, this behavior change should not be a breaking change, because
git-anex also uses rsync sometimes in the same situation, and has only ever
preserved timestamps when using rsync.
Systems without GNU cp will no longer use cp -a, but instead just cp.
So, timestamps will no longer be preserved. Preserving timestamps when
copying between repos is not guaranteed anyway.
Closes: #729757
The webapp will check twice a day, when the network is connected, to see if
it can download a distributon upgrade file. If a newer version is found,
display an upgrade alert.
This will need the autobuilders to set UPGRADE_LOCATION to the url
it can be downloaded from when building git-annex. Only builds with that
set need automatic upgrade alerts.
Currently, the upgrade page just requests the user manually download
and upgrade it. But, all the info is provided to do automated upgrades
in the future.
Note that urls used will need to all be https.

I probably need to improve handling of the PleaseTerminate exception to
kill the fsck process. Also, if fsck finds bad files, something needs
to requeue downloads of them. Otherwise, this should work, but is probably
quite buggy since I have only tested the pure code over the past 2 days.
When quvi is installed, git-annex addurl automatically uses it to detect
when an page is a video, and downloads the video file.
web special remote: Also support using quvi, for getting files,
or checking if files exist in the web.

Run the same code git-annex used to get the sha, including its sanity
checking. Much better than old grep. Should detect FreeBSD systems with
sha commands that output in stange format.
