Of course, it wasn't used much in those modes, because normal output is
avoided. But it was still initialized and used in a few places,
including a call to hideRegionsWhile.
That could cause git-annex to get confused about whether a locked file's
content was present, when the object file got touched.
Unfortunately this means more work sometimes when annex.thin is set,
since it has to checksum the file to tell if it's still got the right
content.
Had to suppress output when inAnnex calls isUnmodified, otherwise
"(checksum...)" would be printed in places it ought not to be,
eg "git annex get" could turn out not need to get anything, and
so only display that.

It's left up to the special remote to detect when git-annex is new enough
to support the message; an old git-annex will blow up.

Clean up some uses of showStart with "" for the file,
or in some cases, a non-filename description string. That would
generate bad json, although none of the commands doing that
supported --json.
Using "" for the file resulted in output like "foo rest";
now the extra space is eliminated.

When built with concurrent-output 1.9, ssh password prompts will no longer
interfere with the -J display.
To avoid flicker, only done when ssh actually does need to prompt;
ssh is first run in batch mode and if that succeeds the connection is up
and no need to clear regions.

When ssh connection caching is enabled (and when GIT_ANNEX_USE_GIT_SSH is
not set), only one ssh password prompt will be made per host, and only one
ssh password prompt will be made at a time.
This also fixes a race in prepSocket's stale ssh connection stopping
when run with -J. It was possible for one thread to start a cached ssh
connection, and another thread to immediately stop it, resulting in excess
connections being made.

This gets rid of quite a lot of ugly hacks around json generation.
I doubt that any real-world json parsers can parse incomplete objects, so
while it's not as nice to need to wait for the complete object, especially
for commands like `git annex info` that take a while, it doesn't seem worth
the added complexity.
This also causes the order of fields within the json objects to be
reordered. Since any real json parser shouldn't care, the only possible
problem would be with ad-hoc parsers of the old json output.
Avoid threads emitting json at the same time and scrambling, which was
still possible even with the buffering, just less likely.
Converted json IO actions to JSONChunk data too.
This makes -Jn work with --json and --quiet, where before
setting -Jn disabled those options.
Concurrent json output is currently a mess though since threads output
chunks over top of one-another.
Note that get --from foo --failed will get things that a previous get --from bar
tried and failed to get, etc. I considered making --failed only retry
transfers from the same remote, but it was easier, and seems more useful,
to not have the same remote requirement.
Noisy due to some refactoring into Types/
Keeping Text.JSON use for now, because it seems a better fit for most of
the commands, which don't use very structured JSON objects, but just output
whatever fields suites them. But this lets Aeson be used when a more
structured data type is available to serialize to JSON.
Show branch:file that is being operated on.
I had to make ActionItem a type and not a type class because
withKeyOptions' passed two different types of values when using the type
class, and I could not get the type checker to accept that.
Instead -J will behave as if it was built without concurrent-output support
in this situation. Ie, it will be mostly quiet, except when there's an
error.
Note that it's not a problem for a filename to contain invalid utf-8 when
in a utf-8 locale. That is handled ok by concurrent-output. It's only
displaying unicode characters in a non-unicode locale that doesn't work.
This allows things like Command.Find to use noMessages and generate their
own complete json objects. Previouly, Command.Find managed that only via a
hack, which wasn't compatable with batch mode.
Only Command.Find, Command.Smudge, and Commange.Status use noMessages
currently, and none except for Command.Find are impacted by this change.
Fixes find --json --batch output
Writes are optimised by queueing up multiple writes when possible.
The queue is flushed after the Annex monad action finishes. That makes it
happen on program termination, and also whenever a nested Annex monad action
finishes.
Reads are optimised by checking once (per AnnexState) if the database
exists. If the database doesn't exist yet, all reads return mempty.
Reads also cause queued writes to be flushed, so reads will always be
consistent with writes (as long as they're made inside the same Annex monad).
A future optimisation path would be to determine when that's not necessary,
which is probably most of the time, and avoid flushing unncessarily.
Design notes for this commit:
- separate reads from writes
- reuse a handle which is left open until program
exit or until the MVar goes out of scope (and autoclosed then)
- writes are queued
- queue is flushed periodically
- immediate queue flush before any read
- auto-flush queue when database handle is garbage collected
- flush queue on exit from Annex monad
(Note that this may happen repeatedly for a single database connection;
or a connection may be reused for multiple Annex monad actions,
possibly even concurrent ones.)
- if database does not exist (or is empty) the handle
is not opened by reads; reads instead return empty results
- writes open the handle if it was not open previously
Came up with a generic way to filter out progress messages while keeping
errors, for commands that use stderr for both.
--json mode will disable command outputs too.
Removed old extensible-exceptions, only needed for very old ghc.
Made webdav use Utility.Exception, to work after some changes in DAV's
exception handling.
Removed Annex.Exception. Mostly this was trivial, but note that
tryAnnex is replaced with tryNonAsync and catchAnnex replaced with
catchNonAsync. In theory that could be a behavior change, since the former
caught all exceptions, and the latter don't catch async exceptions.
However, in practice, nothing in the Annex monad uses async exceptions.
Grepping for throwTo and killThread only find stuff in the assistant,
which does not seem related.
Command.Add.undo is changed to accept a SomeException, and things
that use it for rollback now catch non-async exceptions, rather than
only IOExceptions.
Turns out that a lot of the time spent in a bulk add was just updating the
add alert to rotate through each file that was added. Showing one alert
makes for a significant speedup.
Also, when the webapp is open, this makes it take quite a lot less cpu
during bulk adds.
Also, it lets the user know when a bulk add happened, which is sorta
nice..
There was confusion in different parts of the progress bar code about
whether an update contained the total number of bytes transferred, or the
number of bytes transferred since the last update. One way this bug
showed up was progress bars that seemed to stick at zero for a long time.
In order to fix it comprehensively, I add a new BytesProcessed data type,
that is explicitly a total quantity of bytes, not a delta.
Note that this doesn't necessarily fix every problem with progress bars.
Particularly, buffering can now cause progress bars to seem to run ahead
of transfers, reaching 100% when data is still being uploaded.
