The upgrade from V9 uses this to avoid an automatic upgrade until 1 year
after the V9 update. It can also be used in future such situations.

Capstone to this feature. Any transitions that have been performed on an
unmerged remote ref but not on the local git-annex branch, or vice-versa
have to be applied on the fly when reading files.

It would be difficult to make Annex.Branch.files query the unmerged
git-annex branches. Might be possible, similar to what was discussed in
7f6b2ca49c but again I decided to make it
not do anything in that situation to start with before adding such a
complicated thing.
git-annex info uses it when getting info about a repostory. The choices
were to make that fail with an error, or display the info it can, and
change the output slightly for the bits of info it cannot access. While
that is a behavior change, and I want to avoid any behavior changes due
to unmerged git-annex branches in a read-only repo, displaying a message
that is not a number seems unlikely to break anything that was consuming
a number, any worse than throwing an exception would. Probably.
Also git-annex unused --from origin is made to throw an error, but
it would fail later anyway when trying to write to the unused log files.

This eliminates the distinction between decodeBS and decodeBS', encodeBS
and encodeBS', etc. The old implementation truncated at NUL, and the
primed versions had to do extra work to avoid that problem. The new
implementation does not truncate at NUL, and is also a lot faster.
(Benchmarked at 2x faster for decodeBS and 3x for encodeBS; more for the
primed versions.)
Note that filepath-bytestring 1.4.2.1.8 contains the same optimisation,
and upgrading to it will speed up to/fromRawFilePath.
AFAIK, nothing relied on the old behavior of truncating at NUL. Some
code used the faster versions in places where I was sure there would not
be a NUL. So this change is unlikely to break anything.
Also, moved s2w8 and w82s out of the module, as they do not involve
filesystem encoding really.

* Deal with clock skew, both forwards and backwards, when logging
information to the git-annex branch.
* GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK can now be set to a fixed value (eg 1)
rather than needing to be advanced each time a new change is made.
* Misuse of GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK will no longer confuse git-annex.
When changing a file in the git-annex branch, the vector clock to use is now
determined by first looking at the current time (or GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK
when set), and comparing it to the newest vector clock already in use in
that file. If a newer time stamp was already in use, advance it forward by
a second instead.
When the clock is set to a time in the past, this avoids logging with
an old timestamp, which would risk that log line later being ignored in favor
of "newer" line that is really not newer.
When a log entry has been made with a clock that was set far ahead in the
future, this avoids newer information being logged with an older timestamp
and so being ignored in favor of that future-timestamped information.
Once all clocks get fixed, this will result in the vector clocks being
incremented, until finally enough time has passed that time gets back ahead
of the vector clock value, and then it will return to usual operation.
(This latter situation is not ideal, but it seems the best that can be done.
The issue with it is, since all writers will be incrementing the last
vector clock they saw, there's no way to tell when one writer made a write
significantly later in time than another, so the earlier write might
arbitrarily be picked when merging. This problem is why git-annex uses
timestamps in the first place, rather than pure vector clocks.)
Advancing forward by 1 second is somewhat arbitrary. setDead
advances a timestamp by just 1 picosecond, and the vector clock could
too. But then it would interfere with setDead, which wants to be
overrulled by any change. So it could use 2 picoseconds or something,
but that seems weird. It could just as well advance it forward by a
minute or whatever, but then it would be harder for real time to catch
up with the vector clock when forward clock slew had happened.
A complication is that many log files contain several different peices of
information, and it may be best to only use vector clocks for the same peice
of information. For example, a key's location log file contains
InfoPresent/InfoMissing for each UUID, and it only looks at the vector
clocks for the UUID that is being changed, and not other UUIDs.
Although exactly where the dividing line is can be hard to determine.
Consider metadata logs, where a field "tag" can have multiple values set
at different times. Should it advance forward past the last tag?
Probably. What about when a different field is set, should it look at
the clocks of other fields? Perhaps not, but currently it does, and
this does not seems like it will cause any problems.
Another one I'm not entirely sure about is the export log, which is
keyed by (fromuuid, touuid). So if multiple repos are exporting to the
same remote, different vector clocks can be used for that remote.
It looks like that's probably ok, because it does not try to determine
what order things occurred when there was an export conflict.

When the log has an activity that is not known, eg added by a future
version of git-annex, it used to be treated as no activity at all,
which would make git-annex expire think it should expire the repository,
despite it having some kind of recent activity.
Hopefully there will be no reason to add a new activity until enough
time has passed that this commit is in use everywhere.

When two files have the same content, and a required content expression
matches one but not the other, dropping the latter file will fail as it
would also remove the content of the required file.
This will slow down drop (w/o --auto), dropunused, mirror, and move, by one
keys db lookup per file. But I did include an optimisation to avoid a
double db lookup in the drop --auto / sync --content case. I suspect that
dropunused could also use PreferredContentChecked True, but haven't
entirely thought it through and it's rarely used with enough files for the
optimisation to matter.

This only partly fixes importfeed to see journalled files, since it
separately cats metadata directly from the branch. Held off on a
changelog for a bug fix until that's dealt with.
This adds a separate journal, which does not currently get committed to
an index, but is planned to be committed to .git/annex/index-private.
Changes that are regarding a UUID that is private will get written to
this journal, and so will not be published into the git-annex branch.
All log writing should have been made to indicate the UUID it's
regarding, though I've not verified this yet.
Currently, no UUIDs are treated as private yet, a way to configure that
is needed.
The implementation is careful to not add any additional IO work when
privateUUIDsKnown is False. It will skip looking at the private journal
at all. So this should be free, or nearly so, unless the feature is
used. When it is used, all branch reads will be about twice as expensive.
It is very lucky -- or very prudent design -- that Annex.Branch.change
and maybeChange are the only ways to change a file on the branch,
and Annex.Branch.set is only internal use. That let Annex.Branch.get
always yield any private information that has been recorded, without
the risk that Annex.Branch.set might be called, with a non-private UUID,
and end up leaking the private information into the git-annex branch.
And, this relies on the way git-annex union merges the git-annex branch.
When reading a file, there can be a public and a private version, and
they are just concacenated together. That will be handled the same as if
there were two diverged git-annex branches that got union merged.
It changed parseOnly in the ByteString.Lazy module to take a lazy, not
strict ByteString. In all these cases though, we actually had a strict
ByteString, so the most efficient fix, which also happens to avoid needing
ifdefs, is to use the non-lazy module instead.

Not yet used, but allows getting the size of items in the tree fairly
cheaply.
I noticed that CmdLine.Seek uses ls-tree and the feeds the files into
another long-running process to check their size. That would be an
example of a place that might be sped up by using this. Although in that
particular case, it only needs to know the size of unlocked files, not
locked. And since enabling --long probably doubles the ls-tree runtime
or more, the overhead of using it there may outwweigh the benefit.
* rmurl: When youtube-dl was used for an url, it no longer needs to be
prefixed with "yt:" in order to be removed.
* rmurl: If an url is both used by the web and also claimed by another
special remote, fix a bug that caused the url to to not be removed.
The youtube-dl change is a consequence of how the bug fix is implemented.
But I also think it's the right thing to do. Consider that, before,
git-annex addurl $url followed by git-annex rmurl $url would not remove the
url in the case where youtube-dl was used. That was surprising behavior.
In the unlikely case where a special remote claims an url, and it's been
added using OtherDownloader, but it was also added already as a web url,
it seems better for rmurl to remove both than to arbitrarily remove only one.
And in the case the bug report was filed for, when an url was added as a
web url, but a special remote now claims it, that should not prevent rmurl
removing the web url.
Calling setUrlMissing lets other callers of it behave differently.
Probably the calls to it in eg, Remote.External and Remote.BitTorrent are
fine, since they don't mangle the url and just remove what was provided,
and the OtherDownloader form of a bittorrent url, respectively.
I suspect unregisterurl needs to have a similar change made to rmurl, for
similar reasons.
When annex.stalldetection is not enabled, and a likely stall is detected,
display a suggestion to enable it.
Note that the progress meter display is not taken down when displaying
the message, so it will display like this:
0% 8 B 0 B/s
Transfer seems to have stalled. To handle stalling transfers, configure annex.stalldetection
0% 10 B 0 B/s
Although of course if it's really stalled, it will never update
again after the message. Taking down the progress meter and starting
a new one doesn't seem too necessary given how unusual this is,
also this does help show the state it was at when it stalled.
Use of uninterruptibleCancel here is ok, the thread it's canceling
only does STM transactions and sleeps. The annex thread that gets
forked off is separate to avoid it being canceled, so that it
can be joined back at the end.
A module cycle required moving from dupState the precaching of the
remote list. Doing it at startConcurrency should cover all the cases
where the remote list is used in concurrent actions.

Fixed that, and made parserLsTree accept the space as well as tab.
Fixes a reversion that made import of a tree from a special remote result in
a merge that deleted files that were not preferred content of that special
remote.
This is conceptually very simple, just making a 1 that was hard coded be
exposed as a config option. The hard part was plumbing all that, and
dealing with complexities like reading it from git attributes at the
same time that numcopies is read.
Behavior change: When numcopies is set to 0, git-annex used to drop
content without requiring any copies. Now to get that (highly unsafe)
behavior, mincopies also needs to be set to 0. It seemed better to
remove that edge case, than complicate mincopies by ignoring it when
numcopies is 0.

Especially from borg, where the content identifier logs
all end up being the same identical file!
But also, for other imports, the location tracking logs can,
in some cases, be identical files.
Bonus optimisation: Avoid looking up (and parsing when set)
GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK env var every time a log is written to.
Although the lookup does happen at startup even when no
log will be written now.
This makes sync a lot faster in the common case where there's no new
backup.
There's still room for it to be faster. Currently the old imported tree
has to be traversed, to generate the ImportableContents. Which then
gets turned around to generate the new imported tree, which is
identical. So, it would be possible to just return a "no new imports",
or an ImportableContents that has a way to graft in a tree. The latter
is probably too far to go to optimise this, unless other things need it.
The former might be worth it, but it's already pretty fast, since git
ls-tree is pretty fast.
Importtree only remotes are new; importtree remotes used to always also be
exporttree, so were untrusted.
Since an import remote is one that can be edited by something other than
git-annex, it's clearly not trustworthy at all.
All callers adjusted to update it themselves.
In Command.ReKey, and Command.SetKey, the cleanup action already did,
so it was updating the log twice before.
This fixes a bug when annex.stalldetection is set, as now
Command.Transferrer can skip updating the location log, and let it be
updated by the calling process.
All properties changed to use them, except for
prop_encode_c_decode_c_roundtrip, which already filtered to ascii
for other reasons.
A few modules had to be split out, because Setup does not build-depend
on QuickCheck.
nukeFile replaced with removeWhenExistsWith removeLink, which allows
using RawFilePath. Utility.Directory cannot use RawFilePath since setup
does not depend on posix.

Eliminate a zombie that was only cleaned up by the later zombie cleanup
code.
This is still not ideal, it would be cleaner if it used conduit or
something, and if the thread gets killed before waiting, it won't stop
the process.
Only remaining zombies are in CmdLine.Seek
Sped up seeking to around twice as fast, by avoiding a pass over the
worktree files when preferred content expressions of the local repo and
remotes don't use include=/exclude=.
Thanks to Lukey for identifying the optimisation.

This was a bit disappointing, I was hoping for a 2x speedup. But, I think
the metadata lookup is wasting a lot of time and also needs to be made to
stream.
The changes to catObjectStreamLsTree were benchmarked to not also speed
up --all around 3% more. Seems I managed to make it polymorphic after all.
planned to use for an optimisation
most things using stagedDetails were not expecting to get dup files in a
conflicted merge and deal with them, so converted them to use
inRepoDetails.
And convert parser to attoparsec, probably faster.
Before, a parse failure threw the whole --stage output line in to the
filename, which was certianly a bad idea, so fixed that.
When the required content is set to "groupwanted", use whatever expression
has been set in groupwanted as the required content of the repo, similar to
how setting required content to "standard" already worked.
A couple of these were probably actual bugs in edge cases. Most of the
changes I'm fine with. The fact that aeson's object returns sometihng
that we know will be an Object, but the type checker does not know is
kind of annoying.
