This fixes the recent reversion that annex.verify is not honored,
because retrieveChunks was passed RemoteVerify baser, but baser
did not have export/import set up.

Now it's run in VerifyStage.
I thought about keeping the file handle open, and resuming reading where
tailVerify left off. But that risks leaking open file handles, until the
GC closes them, if the deferred verification does not get resumed. Since
that could perhaps happen if there's an exception somewhere, I decided
that was too unsafe.
Instead, re-open the file, seek, and resume.

It uses tailVerify to hash the file while it's being written.
This is able to sometimes avoid a separate checksum step. Although
if the file gets written quickly enough, tailVerify may not see it
get created before the write finishes, and the checksum still happens.
Testing with the directory special remote, incremental checksumming did
not happen. But then I disabled the copy CoW probing, and it did work.
What's going on with that is the CoW probe creates an empty file on
failure, then deletes it, and then the file is created again. tailVerify
will open the first, empty file, and so fails to read the content that
gets written to the file that replaces it.
The directory special remote really ought to be able to avoid needing to
use tailVerify, and while other special remotes could do things that
cause similar problems, they probably don't. And if they do, it just
means the checksum doesn't get done incrementally.

Several special remotes verify content while it is being retrieved,
avoiding a separate checksum pass. They are: S3, bup, ddar, and
gcrypt (with a local repository).
Not done when using chunking, yet.
Complicated by Retriever needing to change to be polymorphic. Which in turn
meant RankNTypes is needed, and also needed some code changes. The
change in Remote.External does not change behavior at all but avoids
the type checking failing because of a "rigid, skolem type" which
"would escape its scope". So I refactored slightly to make the type
checker's job easier there.
Unfortunately, directory uses fileRetriever (except when chunked),
so it is not amoung the improved ones. Fixing that would need a way for
FileRetriever to return a Verification. But, since the file retrieved
may be encrypted or chunked, it would be extra work to always
incrementally checksum the file while retrieving it. Hm.
Some other special remotes use fileRetriever, and so don't get incremental
verification, but could be converted to byteRetriever later. One is
GitLFS, which uses downloadConduit, which writes to the file, so could
verify as it goes. Other special remotes like web could too, but don't
use Remote.Helper.Special and so will need to be addressed separately.

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.

Freeze first sets the file perms, and then runs
freezecontent-command. Thaw runs thawcontent-command before
restoring file permissions. This is in case the freeze command
prevents changing file perms, as eg setting a file immutable does.
Also, changing file perms tends to mess up previously set ACLs.
git-annex init's probe for crippled filesystem uses them, so if file perms
don't work, but freezecontent-command manages to prevent write to a file,
it won't treat the filesystem as crippled.
When the the filesystem has been probed as crippled, the hooks are not
used, because there seems to be no point then; git-annex won't be relying
on locking annex objects down. Also, this avoids them being run when the
file perms have not been changed, in case they somehow rely on
git-annex's setting of the file perms in order to work.

fromkey: Create an unlocked file when used in an adjusted branch where the
file should be unlocked, or when configured by annex.addunlocked.
There is some overlap with code in Annex.Ingest, however it's not quite the
same because ingesting has a temp file with the content, where here the
content, if any, is in the annex object file. So it eg, makes sense for
Annex.Ingest to copy the execute mode of the content file, but it does not make
sense for fromkey to do that.
Also changed in passing to stage the file in git directly, rather than
using git add. One consequence of that is that if the file is gitignored,
it will still get added, rather than the old behavior:
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
ignored
hint: Use -f if you really want to add them.
hint: Turn this message off by running
hint: "git config advice.addIgnoredFile false"
git-annex: user error (xargs ["-0","git","--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","add","--"] exited 123)
That old behavior was a surprise to me, and so I consider it a bug, and doubt
anyone would have relied on it.
Note that, when on an --hide-missing branch, it is possible to fromkey a key
that is not present (needs --force). The annex link or pointer file still gets
written in this case. It doesn't seem to make any sense not to write it,
because then fromkey would not do anything useful in this case, and this way
the file can be committed and synced to master, and the branch re-adjusted to
hide the new missing file.

I had been assuming that numcopies would be a larger or at most equal to
mincopies, so no need to check both. But users get confused and use configs
that don't really make sense, so make sure to handle mincopies being larger
than numcopies.
Also add something to the mincopies man page to discourage this
misconfiguration.

Which has otherwise been supported since 2019, but was missing from the
list of allowed repo-global configs.
Reordered the list to match the order in the git-annex-config man page, to
make them easy to cross-compare.
This commit was sponsored by Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. on Patreon.
The slightly unusual parsing in Types.GitConfig avoids the need to look
at the remote list to get configs of remotes. annexPrivateRepos combines
all the configs, and will only be calculated once, so it's nice and
fast.
privateUUIDsKnown and regardingPrivateUUID now need to read from the
annex mvar, so are not entirely free. But that overhead can be optimised
away, as seen in getJournalFileStale. The other call sites didn't seem
worth optimising to save a single MVar access. The feature should have
impreceptable speed overhead when not being used.
Most of the changes here involve global option parsing: GlobalSetter
changed so it can both run an Annex action to set state, but can also
change the AnnexRead value, which is immutable once the Annex monad is
running.
That allowed a debugselector value to be added to AnnexRead, seeded
from the git config. The --debugfilter option's GlobalSetter then updates
the AnnexRead.
This improved GlobalSetter can later be used to move more stuff to
AnnexRead. Things that don't involve a git config will be easier to
move, and probably a *lot* of things can be moved eventually.
fastDebug, while implemented, is not used anywhere yet. But it should be
fast..
Can beet to false to avoid some expensive things needed to support unlocked
files.
See my comment for why this only controls what init sets up, and not other
behavior.
I didn't bother with making the v5 upgrade code path look at this, though
it easily could, because the docs say to run git-annex init after setting
it to make it take effect.
box.com already had a special case, since its renaming was known buggy.
In its case, renaming to the temp file succeeds, but then renaming the temp
file to final destination fails.
Then this 4shared server has buggy handling of renames across directories.
While already worked around with for the temp files when storing exports
now being in the same directory as the final filename, that also affected
renameExport when the file moves between directories.
I'm not entirely clear what happens on the 4shared server when it fails
this way. It kind of looks like it may rename the file to destination and
then still fail.
To handle both, when rename fails, delete both the source and the
destination, and fall back to uploading the content again. In the box.com
case, the temp file is the source, and deleting it makes sure the temp file
gets cleaned up. In the 4shared case, the file may have been renamed to the
destination and so cleaning that up avoids any interference with the
re-upload to the destination.
When autoenabling special remotes of type S3, weddav, or glacier, do not
take login credentials from environment variables, as the user may not be
expecting the autoenable to happen, and may have those set for other
purposes.
Like import was using ActionItemWorkTreeFile, it's ok to use it for export,
even though it might not correspond with a file in the work tree.
And renamed it to ActionItemTreeFile to make that clearer.
Note that when an export has to rename files, it still uses
ActionItemOther, so file will still be null in that case, but as no file is
being transferred, that seems ok.
Added LinkType to ProvidedInfo, and unified MatchingKey with
ProvidedInfo. They're both used in the same way, so there was no real
reason to keep separate.
Note that addLocked and addUnlocked still set matchNeedsFileName,
because to handle MatchingFile, they do need it. However, they
don't use it when MatchingInfo is provided. This should be ok,
the --branch case will be able skip checking matchNeedsFileName,
since it will provide a filename in any case.
As yet unused.
Backend.External could perhaps implement it too, although that would
involve sending chunks of data to it via a pipe or something, so likely
to be slow.
See my comment in the next commit for some details about why
Verified needs a hash with preimage resistance. As far as tahoe goes,
it's fully cryptographically secure.
I think that bup could also return Verified. However, the Retriever
interface does not currenly support that.
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.

Seems only fair, that, like git runs git-annex, git-annex runs
git-annex-foo.
Implementation relies on O.forwardOptions, so that any options are passed
through to the addon program. Note that this includes options before the
subcommand, eg: git-annex -cx=y foo
Unfortunately, git-annex eats the --help/-h options.
This is because it uses O.hsubparser, which injects that option into each
subcommand. Seems like this should be possible to avoid somehow, to let
commands display their own --help, instead of the dummy one git-annex
displays.
The two step searching mirrors how git works, it makes finding
git-annex-foo fast when "git annex foo" is run, but will also support fuzzy
matching, once findAllAddonCommands gets implemented.

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 is to support, eg a borg repo as a special remote, which is
populated not by running git-annex commands, but by using borg. Then
git-annex sync lists the content of the remote, learns which files are
annex objects, and treats those as present in the remote.
So, most of the import machinery is reused, to a new purpose. While
normally importtree maintains a remote tracking branch, this does not,
because the files stored in the remote are annex object files, not
user-visible filenames. But, internally, a git tree is still generated,
of the files on the remote that are annex objects. This tree is used
by retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier, etc. As with other import/export
remotes, that the tree is recorded in the export log, and gets grafted
into the git-annex branch.
importKey changed to be able to return Nothing, to indicate when an
ImportLocation is not an annex object and so should be skipped from
being included in the tree.
It did not seem to make sense to have git-annex import do this, since
from the user's perspective, it's not like other imports. So only
git-annex sync does it.
Note that, git-annex sync does not yet download objects from such
remotes that are preferred content. importKeys is run with
content downloading disabled, to avoid getting the content of all
objects. Perhaps what's needed is for seekSyncContent to be run with these
remotes, but I don't know if it will just work (in particular, it needs
to avoid trying to transfer objects to them), so I skipped that for now.
(Untested and unused as of yet.)

And vice-versa, but it's better to use '/' for portability.
Notably, standardPreferredContent contains "archive/*" and that might not
match if the filename ends up coming in with the slashes the other way
around.
MatchingKey is not the thing to use when matching on actual worktreee
files.
Fix reversion in 8.20201116 that made include= and exclude= in
preferred/required content expressions match a path relative to the current
directory, rather than the path from the top of the repository.
Done on unix, could not implement it on windows quite.
The signal library gets part of the way needed for windows.
But I had to open https://github.com/pmlodawski/signal/issues/1 because
it lacks raiseSignal.
Also, I don't know what the equivilant of getProcessGroupIDOf is on
windows. And System.Process does not provide a way to send any signal to
a process group except for SIGINT.

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..)
