So that importing does not replace them with plain files.
This works similarly to how the previous handling of submodules and
matchers did, except that annexed symlinks still get exported as plain
files of course, it's only non-annexed symlinks that it does not make sense
to export.
When symlinks have previously been exported, updating the export will
unexport them after upgrading to this commit.

Improved support for using git-annex in a read-only repository, git-annex
branch information from remotes that cannot be merged into the git-annex
branch will now not crash it, but will be merged in memory.
To avoid this making git-annex behave one way in a read-only repository,
and another way when it can write, it's important that Annex.Branch.get
return the same thing (modulo log file compaction) in both cases.
This manages that mostly. There are some exceptions:
- When there is a transition in one of the remote git-annex branches
that has not yet been applied to the local or other git-annex branches.
Transitions are not handled.
- `git-annex log` runs git log on the git-annex branch, and so
it will not be able to show information coming from the other, not yet
merged branches.
- Annex.Branch.files only looks at files in the git-annex branch and not
unmerged branches. This affects git-annex info output.
- Annex.Branch.hs.overBranchFileContents ditto. Affects --all and
also importfeed (but importfeed cannot work in a read-only repo
anyway).
- CmdLine.Seek.seekFilteredKeys when precaching location logs.
Note use of Annex.Branch.fullname
- Database.ContentIdentifier.needsUpdateFromLog and updateFromLog
These warts make this not suitable to be merged yet.
This readonly code path is more expensive, since it has to query several
branches. The value does get cached, but still large queries will be
slower in a read-only repository when there are unmerged git-annex
branches.
When annex.merge-annex-branches=false, updateTo skips doing anything,
and so the read-only repository code does not get triggered. So a user who
is bothered by the extra work can set that.
Other writes to the repository can still result in permissions errors.
This includes the initial creation of the git-annex branch, and of course
any writes to the git-annex branch.

sync: Better error message when unable to export to a remote because
remote.name.annex-tracking-branch is configured to a ref that does not
exist.
It does not suggest how to fix the problem because there are several
possible solutions: Change the git config to point to something that does
exist, git add some files, or put files on the special remote that will be
imported and so populate the ref.
I considered just silently not doing anything, which is what it does
when annex-tracking-branch = master and nothing has been committed to
master yet. But it seems better to be explicit about it, since this is a
fairly confusing situation to find yourself in.

So that eg, addurl of several large files that take time to download will
update the index for each file, rather than deferring the index updates to
the end.
In cases like an add of many smallish files, where a new file is being
added every few seconds. In that case, the queue will still build up a
lot of changes which are flushed at once, for best performance. Since
the default queue size is 10240, often it only gets flushed once at the
end, same as before. (Notice that updateQueue updated _lastchanged
when adding a new item to the queue without flushing it; that is
necessary to avoid it flushing the queue every 5 minutes in this case.)
But, when it takes more than a 5 minutes to add a file, the overhead of
updating the index immediately is probably small, so do it after each
file. This avoids git-annex potentially taking a very very long time
indeed to stage newly added files, which can be annoying to the user who
would like to get on with doing something with the files it's already
added, eg using git mv to rename them to a better name.
This is only likely to cause a problem if it takes say, 30 seconds to
update the index; doing an extra 30 seconds of work after every 5
minute file add would be less optimal. Normally, updating the index takes
significantly less time than that. On a SSD with 100k files it takes
less than 1 second, and the index write time is bound by disk read and
write so is not too much worse on a hard drive. So I hope this will not
impact users, although if it does turn out to, the time limit could be
made configurable.
A perhaps better way to do it would be to have a background worker
thread that wakes up every 60 seconds or so and flushes the queue.
That is made somewhat difficult because the queue can contain Annex
actions and so this would add a new source of concurrency issues.
So I'm trying to avoid that approach if possible.

This reverts commit 66b2536ea0.
I misunderstood commit ac56a5c2a0
and caused a FD leak when pid locking is not used.
A LockHandle contains an action that will close the underlying lock
file, and that action is run when it is closed. In the case of a shared
lock, the lock file is opened once for each LockHandle, and only
the one for the LockHandle that is being closed will be closed.
Seem there are several races that happen when 2 threads run PidLock.tryLock
at the same time. One involves checkSaneLock of the side lock file, which may
be deleted by another process that is dropping the lock, causing checkSaneLock
to fail. And even with the deletion disabled, it can still fail, Probably due
to linkToLock failing when a second thread overwrites the lock file.
The same can happen when 2 processes do, but then one process just fails
to take the lock, which is fine. But with 2 threads, some actions where failing
even though the process as a whole had the pid lock held.
Utility.LockPool.PidLock already maintains a STM lock, and since it uses
LockShared, 2 threads can hold the pidlock at the same time, and when
the first thread drops the lock, it will remain held by the second
thread, and so the pid lock file should not get deleted until the last
thread to hold it drops the lock. Which is the right behavior, and why a
LockShared STM lock is used in the first place.
The problem is that each time it takes the STM lock, it then also calls
PidLock.tryLock. So that was getting called repeatedly and concurrently.
Fixed by noticing when the shared lock is already held, and stop calling
PidLock.tryLock again, just use the pid lock that already exists then.
Also, LockFile.PidLock.tryLock was deleting the pid lock when it failed
to take the lock, which was entirely wrong. It should only drop the side
lock.

This fixes a reversion introduced in commit
ac56a5c2a0.
I didn't notice there that it was handling the case of a shared lock
file that was still open elsewhere by not running the close action.
This was especially deadly when annex.pidlock is set, as it caused early
deletion of the pid lock file.

This version of git -- or its new default "ort" resolver -- handles such
a conflict by staging two files, one with the original name and the other
named file~ref. Use unmergedSiblingFile when the latter is detected.
(It doesn't do that when the conflict is between a directory and a file
or symlink though, so see previous commit for how that case is handled.)
The sibling file has to be deleted separately, because cleanConflictCruft
may not delete it -- that only handles files that are annex links,
but the sibling file may be the non-annexed file side of the conflict.
The graftin code had assumed that, when the other side of a conclict
is a symlink, the file in the work tree will contain the non-annexed
content that we want it to contain. But that is not the case with the new
git; the file may be the annex link and needs to be replaced with the
content, while the annex link will be written as a -variant file.
(The weird doesDirectoryExist check in graftin turns out to still be
needed, test suite failed when I tried to remove it.)
Test suite passes with new git with ort resolver default. Have not tried it
with old git or other defaults.

This bug mostly would happen when the downloads ran very fast or were
all failing (how I reproduced it), because there have to be two
downloads that finish very close to the same time to trigger the race.
So most users of -J probably would not see much impact from the bug.
Bugfix: When -J was enabled, getting files leaked a ever-growing number of
git cat-file processes.
(Since commit dd39e9e255)
The leak happened when mergeState called stopNonConcurrentSafeCoProcesses.
While stopNonConcurrentSafeCoProcesses usually manages to stop everything,
there was a race condition where cat-file processes were leaked. Because
catFileStop modifies Annex.catfilehandles in a non-concurrency safe way,
and could clobber modifications made in between. Which should have been ok,
since originally catFileStop was only used at shutdown.
Note the comment on catFileStop saying it should only be used when nothing
else is using the handles. It would be possible to make catFileStop
race-safe, but it should just not be used in a situation where a race is
possible. So I didn't bother.
Instead, the fix is just not to stop any processes in mergeState. Because
in order for mergeState to be called, dupState must have been run, and it
enables concurrency mode, stops any non-concurrent processes, and so all
processes that are running are concurrency safea. So there is no need to
stop them when merging state. Indeed, stopping them would be extra work,
even if there was not this bug.

See comment for analysis.
At first I thought I'd need to convert all T.unpack in git-annex, but
luckily not -- so long as the Text is read from a file, the filesystem
encoding is applied and T.unpack is fine. It's only when using Feed
that the filesystem encoding is not applied.
While this fixes the crash, it does result in some mojibake, eg:
itemid=http://www.manager-tools.com/2014/01/choosing-a-company-work-chapter-7-���-questions/
Have not tracked that down, but it must be unrelated, because
I've verified that it roundtrips when using encodeUf8:

ghci> useFileSystemEncoding
ghci> Just f <- Text.Feed.Import.parseFeedFromFile "/home/joey/tmp/career_tools_podcasts.xml"

While intended for converting URL keys added by addurl --fast to be
as if added by addurl --relaxed, it can also be used to remove size
from other types of keys. Although that is not likely to be useful
for checksummed keys, I suppose it could be used for WORM or other
non-checksum keys.
Specifying the --remove-size option does not prevent other migrations
from taking effect if there's a key upgrade to perform, or if the
backend has changed. So --backend=URL needs to be used to prevent
migrating an URL key to the default backend.
Note that it's not possible to use git-annex migrate to convert from a
non-URL key to an URL key, as URL keys cannot be generated, except by
addurl. So while this can get the same effect as --relaxed would have
when addurl --fast was used, when --fast was not used, it won't work, or
if --backend=URL is not used will remove the size but not prevent
checksum verification, which is not useful. Due to this complexity, I
decided not to mention it in the git-annex addurl man page.

metadata --batch --json: Reject input whose "fields" does not consist of
arrays of strings. Such invalid input used to be silently ignored.
Used to be that parseJSON for a JSONActionItem ran parseJSON separately
for the itemAdded, and if that failed, did not propagate the error. That
allowed different items with differently named fields to be parsed.
But it was actually only used to parse "fields" for metadata, so that
flexability is not needed.
The fix is just to parse "fields" as-is. AddJSONActionItemFields is needed
only because of the wonky way Command.MetaData adds onto the started json
object.
Note that this line got a dummy type signature added,
just because the type checker needs it to be some type.
itemFields = Nothing :: Maybe Bool
Since it's Nothing, it doesn't really matter what type it is,
and the value gets turned into json and is then thrown away.

Turns out that CommandStart actions do not have their exceptions caught,
which is why the giveup was causing a crash. Mostly these actions
do not do very much work on their own, but it does seem possible there
are other commands whose CommandStart also throws an exception.
So, my first attempt at a fix was to catch those exceptions. But,
--json-error-messages then causes a difficulty, because in order to output
a json error message, an action needs to have been started; that sets up
the json object that the error message will be included in a field of.
While it would be possible to output an object with just an error field,
this would be json output of a format that the user has no reason to
expect, that happens only in an exceptional circumstance. That is something
I have always wanted to avoid with the json output; while git-annex man
pages don't document what the json looks like, the output has always
been made to be self-describing. Eg, it includes "error-messages":[]
even when there's no errors.
With that ruled out, it doesn't seem a good idea to catch CommandStart
exceptions and display the error to stderr when --json-error-messages
is set. And so I don't know if it makes sense to catch exceptions from that
at all. Maybe I'd have a different opinion if --json-error-messages did not
exist though.
So instead, output a blank line like other batch commands do.
This also leaves open the possibility of implementing support for matching
object with metadata --json, which would also want to output a blank line
when the input didn't match.

This removes a messy caveat that was easy to forget and caused at least one
bug. The price paid is that, after a write to a MultiWriter db, it has to
close the db connection that it had been using to read, and open a new
connection. So it might be a little bit slower. But, writes are usually
batched together, so there's often only a single write, and so there should
not be much of a slowdown. Notice that SingleWriter already closed the db
connection after a write, so paid the same overhead.
This is the second try at fixing a bug: git-annex get when run as the first
git-annex command in a new repo did not populate all unlocked files.

git does not crash when there's a remote configured for a user who does
not exist, and this prevents git-annex from crashing too. Consider that
a user might exist on one system but not another, and the git repo be
moved between systems. So not crashing is desirable.
Note that git fetch seems to mishandle a remote path like ~foo/bar
when the user does not exist. While it does access ./~foo/bar,
and gets as far as running git-upload-pack on the path,
it then complains there is no such repo. So different parts of git seem
to be doing different things in that edge case. Anyway, git-annex does
not need to be bug-for-bug compatible with git.

test: Put gpg temp home directory in system temp directory, not filesystem
being tested.
Since I've found indications gpg can fail talking to the agent when the
socket ends up on eg, fat. And to hopefully fix this bug report I've
followed up on.
The main risk in using the system temp dir is that TMPDIR could be set to a
long directory path, which is too long to put a unix socket in. To
partially amelorate that risk, it uses either an absolute or a relative
path, whichever is shorter. (Hopefully gpg will not convert it to a longer
form of the path..)
If the user sets TMPDIR to something so long a path to it +
"S.gpg-agent" is too long, I suppose that's their issue to deal with.

This negotiation is not supported by versions of git-annex older
than 6.20180312. Well, maybe really 6.20180227 or so, but using that in
the changelog simplifies things since it was the version for the other
changes as well.
See commit c81768d425 for the back story.
As well as allowing for future protocol improvements, this will result
in negoatiating protocol version 1, which is an improvement over default
version 0.
In fact, it looks like no supported version of git-annex will use
protocol version 0, since version 1 was introduced in 6.20180227.
Still, removing the code for version 0 seems unncessary.

* Removed support for accessing git remotes that use versions of
git-annex older than 6.20180312.
* git-annex-shell: Removed several commands that were only needed to
support git-annex versions older than 6.20180312.
(lockcontent, recvkey, sendkey, transferinfo, commit)
The P2P protocol was added in that version, and used ever since, so
this code was only needed for interop with older versions.
"git-annex-shell commit" is used by newer git-annex versions, though
unnecessarily so, because the p2pstdio command makes a single commit at
shutdown. Luckily, it was run with stderr and stdout sent to /dev/null,
and non-zero exit status or other exceptions are caught and ignored. So,
that was able to be removed from git-annex-shell too.
git-annex-shell inannex, recvkey, sendkey, and dropkey are still used by
gcrypt special remotes accessed over ssh, so those had to be kept.
It would probably be possible to convert that to using the P2P protocol,
but it would be another multi-year transition.
Some git-annex-shell fields were able to be removed. I hoped to remove
all of them, and the very concept of them, but unfortunately autoinit
is used by git-annex sync, and gcrypt uses remoteuuid.
The main win here is really in Remote.Git, removing piles of hairy fallback
code.

This improves the borg special remote memory usage, by
letting it only load one archive's worth of filenames into memory at a
time, and building up a larger tree out of the chunks.
When a borg repository has many archives, git-annex could easily OOM
before. Now, it will use only memory proportional to the number of
annexed keys in an archive.
Minor implementation wart: Each new chunk re-opens the content
identifier database, and also a new vector clock is used for each chunk.
This is a minor innefficiency only; the use of continuations makes
it hard to avoid, although putting the database handle into a Reader
monad would be one way to fix it.
It may later be possible to extend the ImportableContentsChunkable
interface to remotes that are not third-party populated. However, that
would perhaps need an interface that does not use continuations.
The ImportableContentsChunkable interface currently does not allow
populating the top of the tree with anything other than subtrees. It
would be easy to extend it to allow putting files in that tree, but borg
doesn't need that so I left it out for now.

Commit 4bf7940d6b introduced this
problem, but was otherwise doing a good thing. Problem being
that fileRef "/foo" used to return ":./foo", which was actually wrong,
but as long as there was no foo in the local repository, catKey
could operate on it without crashing. After that fix though, fileRef
would return eg "../../foo", resulting in fileRef returning
":./../../foo", which will make git cat-file crash since that's
not a valid path in the repo.
Fix is simply to make fileRef detect paths outside the repo and return
Nothing. Then catKey can be skipped. This needed several bugfixes to
dirContains as well, in previous commits.
In Command.Smudge, this led to needing to check for Nothing. That case
should actually never happen, because the fileoutsiderepo check will
detect it earlier.

sync --content: Avoid a redundant checksum of a file that was

When sync has just gotten the content, it does not need to check inAnnex a
second time. On NTFS, for some reason the write of the inode cache after
it gets the content is not immediately able to be read, and with an
empty/non-matching inode cache due to that stale data, inAnnex falls back
to hashing the whole object to determine if it's present.

This method avoids breaking test_readonly. Just check if the dest file
exists, and avoid CoW probing when it does, so when CoW probing fails,
it can resume where the previous non-CoW copy left off.
If CoW has been probed already to work, delete the dest file
since a CoW copy will presumably work. It seems like it would be almost
as good to just skip CoW copying in this case too, but consider that the
dest file might have started to be copied from some other remote, not
using CoW, but CoW has been probed to work to copy from the current
