Improve disk free space checking when transferring unsized keys to
local git remotes. Since the size of the object file is known, can
check that instead.
Getting unsized keys from local git remotes does not check the actual
object size. It would be harder to handle that direction because the size
check is run locally, before anything involving the remote is done. So it
doesn't know the size of the file on the remote.
Also, transferring unsized keys to other remotes, including ssh remotes and
p2p remotes don't do disk size checking for unsized keys. This would need a
change in protocol.
(It does seem like it would be possible to implement the same thing for
directory special remotes though.)
In some sense, it might be better to not ever do disk free checking for
unsized keys, than to do it only sometimes. A user might notice this
direction working and consider it a bug that the other direction does not.
On the other hand, disk reserve checking is not implemented for most
special remotes at all, and yet it is implemented for a few, which is also
inconsistent, but best effort. And so doing this best effort seems to make
some sense. Fundamentally, if the user wants the size to always be checked,
they should not use unsized keys.

This does, as a side effect, make long notes in json output not
be indented. The indentation is only needed to offset them
underneath the display of the file they apply to, so that's ok.

Converted warning and similar to use StringContainingQuotedPath. Most
warnings are static strings, some do refer to filepaths that need to be
quoted, and others don't need quoting.
Note that, since quote filters out control characters of even
UnquotedString, this makes all warnings safe, even when an attacker
sneaks in a control character in some other way.
When json is being output, no quoting is done, since json gets its own
quoting.
This does, as a side effect, make warning messages in json output not
be indented. The indentation is only needed to offset warning messages
underneath the display of the file they apply to, so that's ok.

The temporary URL key used for the download, before the real key is
generated, was blocked by annex.securehashesonly.
Fixed by passing the Backend that will be used for the final key into
runTransfer. When a Backend is provided, have preCheckSecureHashes
check that, rather than the key being transferred.

Use separate stages for download and upload. In the common case where
it downloads the file from one remote and then uploads to the other,
those are by far the most expensive operations, and there's a decent
chance the two remotes bottleneck on different resources.
Suppose it's being run with -J2 and a bunch of 10 mb files. Two threads
will be started both downloading from the src remote. They will probably
finish at the same time. Then two threads will be started uploading to
the dst remote. They will probably take the same time as well. Before
this change, it would alternate back and forth, bottlenecking on src and dst.
With this change, as soon as the two threads start uploading to dst, two
more threads are able to start, downloading from src. So bandwidth to
both remotes is saturated more often.
Other commands that use transferStages only send in one direction at a
time. So the worker threads for the other direction will sit idle, and
there will be no change in their behavior.

Prep for move --to --from, which needs to download from a src repo
without updating the location log for the local repo, before sending the
content on to the dest repo.
Note that caller of download' already update the log themselves.

This makes it be displayed in the error-messages field with
--json-error-messages. And with --quiet, it will let it be displayed,
which makes sense because it's telling the user why what they requested
to do has failed to happen.
RemoteGitConfig parsing looks for annex.stalldetection when a remote
does not have a per-remote config for it, so no need for a separate

When stall detection is enabled, and a transfer is in progress,
it would display a doubled message:
(transfer already in progress, or unable to take transfer lock) (transfer already in progress, or unable to take transfer lock)
That happened because the forward retry decider had a start size of 0,
and an end size of whatever amount of the object the other process had
downloaded. So it incorrectly thought that the transferrer process had
made progress, when it had in fact immediately given up with that
message.
Instead, use the reported value from the progress meter. If a remote
does not report progress, this will mean it doesn't forward retry, in a
situation where it used to. But most remotes do report progress, and any
remote that does not can be fixed to, by using watchFileSize when
downloading. Also, some remotes might preallocate the temp file (eg
bittorrent), so relying on statting its size at this level to get
progress is dubious.
The same change was made to Annex/Transfer.hs, although only
Annex/TransferrerPool.hs needed to be changed to avoid the duplicate
message.
(An alternate fix would have been to start the retry decider with the
size of the object file before downloading begins, rather than 0.)

Values in AnnexRead can be read more efficiently, without MVar overhead.
Only a few things have been moved into there, and the performance
increase so far is not likely to be noticable.
This is groundwork for putting more stuff in there, particularly a value
that indicates if debugging is enabled.
The obvious next step is to change option parsing to not run in the
Annex monad to set values in AnnexState, and instead return a pure value
that gets stored in AnnexRead.
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.

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.
Rather than using Read/Show, which would force me to preserve data types
into the future.
I considered just deriving json and sending that, but I don't much like
deriving json with data types that have named constructors (like Key
does) because again it locks in data type details.
So instead, used SimpleProtocol, with a fairly complex and unreadable
protocol. But it is as efficient as the p2p protocol at least, and as
future proof.
(Writing my own custom json instances would have worked but I thought
of it too late and don't want to do all the work twice. The only real
benefit might be that aeson could be faster.)
Note that, when a new protocol request type is added later, git-annex
trying to use it will cause the git-annex transferrer to display a
protocol error message. That seems ok; it would only happen if a new
git-annex found an old version of itself in PATH or the program
file. So it's unlikely, and all it can do anyway is display an error.
(The error message could perhaps be improved..)

transferkeys had to be made to operate in different modes for the

This is groundwork for using git-annex transferkeys to run transfers,
in order to allow stalled transfers to be interrupted and retried.
The new upload and download are closer to what git-annex transferkeys
does, so the plan is to make them use it.
Then things that were left using upload' and download' won't recover
from stalls. Notably, that includes import and export. But
at least get/move/copy will be able to. (Also the assistant hopefully,
but not yet.)

One reason is, 5 is an arbitrary number so ought to be configurable.
The real reason though, is I wanted to make the man page explain when
forward retry can override annex.retry, and having a config made the
man page easier to write.
This fixes the problem that, if forwardRetry was checked for the first 5
and decided to retry, the 6th would go to configuredRetry which would
see the counter was 6 and so wait retry-delay*2^5 seconds (default 32).
Now, it waits for retry-delay before each retry, even when forwardRetry
initiated the retry.
This is groundwork for external backends, but also makes sense to keep
this information with the rest of a Backend's implementation.
Also, removed isVerifiable. I noticed that the same information is
encoded by whether a Backend implements verifyKeyContent or not.
This does mean that RemoteDaemon.Transport.Tor's call runs it, otherwise
no change, but this is groundwork for doing more such expensive actions
in dupState.
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.
Previously attempted in 4536c93bb2
and reverted in 96aba8eff7.
The problems mentioned in the latter commit are addressed now:
Read/Show of KeyData is backwards-compatible with Read/Show of Key from before
this change, so Types.Distribution will keep working.
The Eq instance is fixed.
Also, Key has smart constructors, avoiding needing to remember to update
the cached serialization.
Used git-annex benchmark:
find is 7% faster
whereis is 3% faster
get when all files are already present is 5% faster
Generally, the benchmarks are running 0.1 seconds faster per 2000 files,
on a ram disk in my laptop.
This means that Command.Move and Command.Get don't need to
manually set the stage, and is a lot cleaner conceptually.
Also, this makes Command.Sync.syncFile use the worker pool better.
In the scenario where it first downloads content and then uploads it to
some other remotes, it will start in TransferStage, then enter VerifyStage
and then go back to TransferStage for each transfer to the remotes.
Before, it entered CleanupStage after the download, and stayed in it for
the upload, so too many transfer jobs could run at the same time.
Note that, in Remote.Git, it uses runTransfer and also verifyKeyContent
inside onLocal. That has a Annex state for the remote, with no worker pool.
So the resulting calls to enteringStage won't block in there.
While Remote.Git.copyToRemote does do checksum verification, I
realized that should not use a verification slot in the WorkerPool
to do it. Because, it's reading back from eg, a removable disk to checksum.
That will contend with other writes to that disk. It's best to treat
that checksum verification as just part of the transer. So, removed the todo
item about that, as there's nothing needing to be done.
Added the ability to run one job per CPU (core), by setting annex.jobs=cpus,
or using option --jobs=cpus or -Jcpus.
Built with future expansion in mind, including not defaulting matching on
Concurrency so more constructors can later be added, and using "cpu"
instead of "0".
This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
Fix hang when transferring the same objects to two different clients at the
same time. (Or when annex.pidlock is used, two different objects to the
same or different clients.)
Could also potentially occur if a client was downloading an object and
somehow lost connection but that git-annex-shell was still running and
holding the transfer lock.
This does not guarantee that, if `transfer` fails for some other reason,
a DATA response will be made.

* Display error message when http download fails.
There's nothing in the http-client library to nicely format a http

* Avoid forward retry when 0 bytes were received.
forwardRetry was comparing Nothing to Just 0, and so thought there had
been progress made when 0 bytes were received.
This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
I think this used to be the case, but it was accidentially lost way back in
commit 3887432c54. Normally, transfers do not
throw exceptions, so probably forward retrying was rarely done due to that
oversight.
This also affects the new annex.retry etc configuration. If a transfer
fails, without making any progress, eg because the file is not present on
the remote or the remote is not accessible, it will now retry when
configuration calls for it. In some cases such a retry is not desirable,
for example the remote could be accessible and not have a copy of the file
that the local repo thinks it has. I see no way to distinguish such cases
from cases where a retry should really be done. So, it'll be up to the user
to configure it to work for them.
Added annex.retry, annex.retry-delay, and per-remote versions to configure
transfer retries.

Avoid creating transfer info file before transfer lock is created and
locked.
The wrong order for one thing caused transfer info to be overwritten
when a transfer was already in progress.
But worse, it caused checkTransfer to see the transfer info,
and so lock the transfer lock in order to verify the transfer was not in
progress. Which in a concurrent situation, prevented the transferrer
from locking the transfer lock, so it failed with "transfer already in
progress".
Note that the transferinfo command does not lock the transfer lock
before creating the transfer info. But, that's only run after
recvkey is running, and recvkey does lock the transfer lock, so that
seems more or less ok. (Other than being a super complicated legacy mess
that the P2P code has mostly obsoleted now.)

This avoids all the complication about redundant work discussed in
the previous try at fixing this. At the expense of needing each command
that could have the problem to be patched to simply wrap the action in
onlyActionOn once the key is known. But there do not seem to be many
such commands.
onlyActionOn' should not be used with a CommandStart (or CommandPerform),
although the types do allow it. onlyActionOn handles running the whole
CommandStart chain. I couldn't immediately see a way to avoid mistken
use of onlyActionOn'.
