untested
This won't be super slow, but it does need to diff two likely large
trees, and since the git-annex branch rarely sits still, it will most
likely be run at the beginning of every import.
A possible speed improvement would be to only run this when the database
did not contain a ContentIdentifier. But that would only speed up
imports when there is no new version of a file on the special remote,
at most renames of existing files being imported.
A better speed improvement would be to record something in the git-annex
branch that indicates when an import has been run, and only do the diff
if the git-annex branch has record of a newer import than we've seen
before. Then, it would only run when there is in fact new
ContentIdentifier information available from a remote. Certianly doable,
but didn't want to complicate things yet.
For now, it's only allowed when exporttree=yes is also set.
That simplified the implementation, but could later be changed if
there's a remote that makes sense to be an import but not an export.
However, it may work just as well to make a remote be readonly to
prevent export to it while still allowing import.
This does not avoid all possible races, but it does avoid all likely
ones, and is demonstratably better than git's own handling of races
where files get modified at the same time as it's updating the working
tree.
The main thing this won't detect are not unlikely races where part
of a file gets changed while it's being copied and then the file is
restored to its original condition before the modification check.
No, it's more likely that the limitations of checking inode, size,
and mtime won't detect certian modifications, involving eg mmapped
files.
Made some api changes.
listImportableContents needs to provide the size
of the data, so the downloader can check disk free space.
retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier is passed the filepath to write to
Use temporary "CID" key during download of a ContentIdentifier from a
remote, so withTmp can be used and then move the content to the real key
once it's known.
Added graftTree but it's buggy.
Should use graftTree in Annex.Branch.graftTreeish; it will be faster
than the current implementation there.
Started Annex.Import, but untested and it doesn't yet handle tree
grafting.
Does not yet have a way to update with new information from the
git-annex branch, which will be needed when multiple repos are importing
from the same remote.
Avoid performing repository fixups for submodules and git-worktrees
when there's a .noannex file that will prevent git-annex from being
used in the repository.
This change is ok as long as the .noannex file is really going to prevent
git-annex from being used. But, init --force could override the file.
Which would result in the repo being initialized without the fixups
having run.
To avoid that situation decided to change init, to not let --force be used
to override a .noannex file. Instead the user can just delete the file.
If the worktree file already exists, and is annexed and uses the same
key, avoid failing, nothing needs to be done.
Had to add lookupFileNotHidden to handle the case where an adjust --hide-missing
is in use, and the worktree file was hidden due to the object content
being missing. lookupFile would return the key of the hidden file,
but it makes sense that after fromkey succeeds, the worktree must
contain the file it was supposed to set up.
Need to create the directory after the lock is held, not before.
The other racing process would need to shut down at just the wrong time,
running cleanupOtherTmp.

I am very doubtful that commit 613e747d91
was right about this doing anything, and I've verified that without it,
ctrl-c sends sigINT to child processes, and git-annex get does not
continue to the next item.
It seems likely that the real problem back then was something catching
the async exception.
Hard to see how installing a default signal handler could cause any
change from default behavior either.
One reason to want to get rid of this cruft now is that tasty has a
sigINT handler of its own, and this would override it.
(Tasty is not currently setting that handler up the way git-annex uses
it, due to a problem in tasty, but that will hopefully change.)
* Switch to using .git/annex/othertmp for tmp files other than partial
downloads, and make stale files left in that directory when git-annex
is interrupted be cleaned up promptly by subsequent git-annex processes.
* The .git/annex/misctmp directory is no longer used and git-annex will
delete anything lingering in there after it's 1 week old.
Also, in Annex.Ingest, made the filename it uses in the tmp dir be
prefixed with "ingest-" to avoid potentially using a filename used by
some other code.
Adding that field broke the Read/Show serialization back-compat,
and also the Eq and Ord instances were not blinded to it, which broke
git annex fsck and probably more.
I think that the new approach used in formatKeyVariety will be nearly
as fast, but have not benchmarked it.
This reverts commit 4536c93bb2.
That broke Read/Show of a Key, and unfortunately Key is read in at least
one place; the GitAnnexDistribution data type.
It would be worth bringing this optimisation back, but it would need
either a custom Read/Show instance that preserves back-compat, or
wrapping Key in a data type that contains the serialization, or changing
how GitAnnexDistribution is serialized.
Also, the Eq instance would need to compare keys with and without a
cached seralization the same.
The builder produces a lazy ByteString, and L.toStrict has to copy it,
but needing to use the builder is no longer to common case; the
serialization will normally be cached already as a strict ByteString,
and this avoids keyFile' needing to use L.toStrict . serializeKey'
This will speed up the common case where a Key is deserialized from
disk, but is then serialized to build eg, the path to the annex object.
It means that every place a Key has any of its fields changed, the cache
has to be dropped. I've grepped and found them all. But, it would be
better to avoid that gotcha somehow..
Now there's a ByteString used all the way from disk to Key.
The main complication in this conversion was the use of fromInternalGitPath
in several places to munge things on Windows. The things that used that
were changed to parse the ByteString using either path separator.
Also some code that had read from files to a String lazily was changed
to read a minimal strict ByteString.
A keyName could contain "/", though this is unlikely and certianly only
ever could happen with WORM keys.
The change to addunused to escape that is no problem at all.
The change to VariantFile to escape it means that different versions of
git-annex could resolve a merge conflict differently in this case, which
is unfortunate. There would be different .variant files used, so the two
resolutions would themselves merge together without additional
conflicts, but the user would have to clean up the extra .variant
files.
What these generate is not really suitable to be used as a filename,
which is why keyFile and fileKey further escape it. These are just
serializing Keys.
Also removed a quickcheck test that was very unlikely to test anything
useful, since it relied on random chance creating something that looks
like a serialized key. The other test is sufficient for testing what
that was intended to test anyway.
