Accept arbitrarily encoded repository filepaths etc when reading git config
output. This fixes support for remotes with unusual characters in their
names.
For example, a remote with a url of /tmp/çüş was previously
skipped, because the filename wasn't encoded right so it didn't think it
was available. And when setting the annex-uuid of a remote named "çüş",
it used to add it under a mis-encoded form of the remote's name. Both these
cases now work ok in my testing.
While I was in there, I noticed and fixed a bug in the queue size
calculations. It was never encountered only because Queue.add was
only ever run with 1 file in the list.
This allows the queue to be used in a single process for multiple possibly
conflicting commands, like add and rm, without running them out of order.
This assumes that running the same git subcommand with different parameters
cannot itself conflict.
Avoid more expensive code path when no core.worktree is configured.
Don't change worktree when reading config if one is already set.
This could happen if GIT_CORE_WORKTREE is set, and the repo also has
core.worktree, and the config is reread. Now GIT_CORE_WORKTREE will
prevail.
The environment needs to override git-config. Changed when git config is
read, and avoid rereading it once it's been read.
chdir for both worktree settings.
Baked into the code was an assumption that a repository's git directory
could be determined by adding ".git" to its work tree (or nothing for bare
repos). That fails when core.worktree, or GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are
used to separate the two.
This was attacked at the type level, by storing the gitdir and worktree
separately, so Nothing for the worktree means a bare repo.
A complication arose because we don't learn where a repository is bare
until its configuration is read. So another Location type handles
repositories that have not had their config read yet. I am not entirely
happy with this being a Location type, rather than representing them
entirely separate from the Git type. The new code is not worse than the
old, but better types could enforce more safety.
Added support for core.worktree. Overriding it with -c isn't supported
because it's not really clear what to do if a git repo's config is read, is
not bare, and is then overridden to bare. What is the right git directory
in this case? I will worry about this if/when someone has a use case for
overriding core.worktree with -c. (See Git.Config.updateLocation)
Also removed and renamed some functions like gitDir and workTree that
misused git's terminology.
One minor regression is known: git annex add in a bare repository does not
print a nice error message, but runs git ls-files in a way that fails
earlier with a less nice error message. This is because before --work-tree
was always passed to git commands, even in a bare repo, while now it's not.
This is incomplete, it does not honor it yet for hash directories
and other annex bookkeeping files. Some of that is not needed for a bare
repo; some of it may be.
git-annex (but not git-annex-shell) supports the git help.autocorrect
configuration setting, doing fuzzy matching using the restricted
Damerau-Levenshtein edit distance, just as git does. This adds a build
dependency on the haskell edit-distance library.
Continue using the key name as bup ref name, to preserve backwards
compatability, unless it is an illegal git ref. In that case, use a sha256
of the key name instead.
The filename sent to git cat-file needs to be sent on a File encoded handle.
Also set the read handle to use the File encoding, so that any error
message mentioning the filename is received properly.
The actual file content is read using Data.ByteString.Char8, which
will ignore the read handle's encoding, so this won't change that.
(Whether that is entirely correct remains to be seen.)
useful when adding hundreds of thousands of files on a system with plenty
of memory.
git add gets quite slow in such a large repository, so if the system has
more than the ~32 mb of memory the queue can use by default, it's a useful
optimisation to increase the queue size, in order to decrease the number
of times git add is run.
The list of files had to be retained until the end so it could be deleted.
Also, a list of update-index lines was generated and only then fed into it.
Now everything streams in constant space.
When hashing the files, the entire list of shas was read strictly.
That was entirely unnecessary, since there's a cleanup action run
after they're consumed.
Now gitattributes are looked up, efficiently, in only the places that
really need them, using the same approach used for cat-file.
The old CheckAttr code seemed very fragile, in the way it streamed files
through git check-attr.
I actually found that cad8824852
was still deadlocking with ghc 7.4, at the end of adding a lot of files.
This should fix that problem, and avoid future ones.
The best part is that this removes withAttrFilesInGit and withNumCopies,
which were complicated Seek methods, as well as simplfying the types
for several other Seek methods that had a Backend tupled in.
