This removes versionedExport, which was only used by the S3 special
remote. Instead, versionedexport=yes is a common way for remotes to
indicate that they are versioned.
This is not perfect because it does not handle versioned special
remotes, which should not be untrustworthy, but now are when proxied.
The implementation turned out to be easy, because the exporttree field
is a default field, so is available in RemoteConfig even for git
remotes.
This allows git-annex post-receive, on the first push to
the remote to see that it is able to get a key from it in
order to upload it back.
Also avoided actively checking if the source remote contains a key.
The location log is good enough. If the location log is wrong,
the export of that file will fail with an informative message.
This handles cases where a single key is used by multiple files in the
exported tree. When using `git-annex push`, the key's content gets
stored in the annexobjects location, and then when the branch is pushed,
it gets renamed from the annexobjects location to the first exported
file. For subsequent exported files, a copy of the content needs to be
made. This causes it to download the key from the remote in order to
upload another copy to it.
This is not needed when using `git push` followed by `git-annex copy --to`
the proxied remote, because the received key is stored at all export
locations then.
Also, fixed handling of the synced branch push, it was exporting master
when synced/master was pushed.
Note that currently, the first push to the remote does not see that it
is able to get a key from it in order to upload it back. It displays
"(not available)". The second push is able to. Since git-annex push
pushes first the synced branch and then the branch, this does end up
with a full export being made, but it is not quite right.
This is similar to git-annex copy --from --to, in that it downloads a
local copy, locks it for removal, uploads it, and drops it. Removal of
the temporary local copy is done without verifying numcopies for the
same reason as that command.
I do wonder, looking at this, if there's a race where the local copy
gets used as a copy to allow some other drop in the narrow window after
it is downloaded and before it gets locked for removal. That would need
some other repository to have an out of date location log that says the
repository contains a copy of the key, in order for it to try to use it
as a copy. If there is such a race, git-annex copy/move would also be
vulnerable to it. It would be better to lock it for removal before
starting to download it! That is possible in v10 repositories, which do
use a separate content lock file.
Note that, when the exported tree contains several files that use the
same key, it will be downloaded repeatedly, once per time needed to
upload it. It would be possible to avoid that extra work, but it would
complicate this since the local copy would need to be preserved, locked
for removal, until the end. Also, that would mean that interrupting the
export would leave possibly a lot of temporarily downloaded keys in the
local repository, while currently it can only leave one.
When a file never got exported to the remote, and is now being removed
from the exported tree, it tried to rename, which failed, and displayed
an ugly warning:
unexport d m8
rename failed (/home/joey/tmp/bench2/d/m8: renameFile:renamePath:rename: does not exist (No such file or directory)); deleting instead
ok
Since git-annex sync sends the sync branch first, and only displays the
output of the push to the sync branch, this makes git-annex
post-retrieve's output when updating the exported tree be visible when
syncing.
This also makes syncing with a non-bare repository still update the
exported tree, even when the checked out branch is not able to be
updated. The sync branch gets sent regardless.
