Commit 4bf7940d6b introduced this
problem, but was otherwise doing a good thing. Problem being
that fileRef "/foo" used to return ":./foo", which was actually wrong,
but as long as there was no foo in the local repository, catKey
could operate on it without crashing. After that fix though, fileRef
would return eg "../../foo", resulting in fileRef returning
":./../../foo", which will make git cat-file crash since that's
not a valid path in the repo.
Fix is simply to make fileRef detect paths outside the repo and return
Nothing. Then catKey can be skipped. This needed several bugfixes to
dirContains as well, in previous commits.
In Command.Smudge, this led to needing to check for Nothing. That case
should actually never happen, because the fileoutsiderepo check will
detect it earlier.

I first saw this getting with -J2 over ssh, but later saw it also
without the -J2. It was resuming, and the calulated unboundDelay was
many minutes. The first update of the meter jumped to some large value,
because of the resuming, and so it thought the BW was super fast.
Avoid by waiting until the second meter update.
Might be a good idea to also guard for the delay being many seconds
and avoid waiting. But how many? If BW is legitimately super fast, and a
remote happens to read more than a 32kb or so chunk at a time, it could
in theory download megabytes or gigabytes of data before the first meter
update. It would actually be appropriate then to delay for a long time,
if the desired BW was low. Could make up some numbers that are sane now,
but tech may improve.
(BTW, pleased to see bwlimit does work with -J. I had worried that
it might not, if the meter update happened in a different thread than
the downloading, but it's done in the same thread.)

* When downloading urls fail, explain which urls failed for which
reasons.
* web: Avoid displaying a warning when downloading one url failed
but another url later succeeded.
Some other uses of downloadUrl use urls that are effectively internal use,
and should not all be displayed to the user on failure. Eg, Remote.Git
tries different urls where content could be located depending on how the
remote repo is set up. Exposing those urls to the user would lead to wild
goose chases. So had to parameterize it to control whether it displays urls
or not.
A side effect of this change is that when there are some youtube urls
and some regular urls, it will try regular urls first, even if the
youtube urls are listed first. This seems like an improvement if
anything, but in any case there's no defined order of urls that it's
supposed to use.

Except when configuration makes curl be used. It did not seem worth
trying to tail the file when curl is downloading.
But when an interrupted download is resumed, it does not read the whole
existing file to hash it. Same reason discussed in
commit 7eb3742e4b76d1d7a487c2c53bf25cda4ee5df43; that could take a long
time with no progress being displayed. And also there's an open http
request, which needs to be consumed; taking a long time to hash the file
might cause it to time out.
Also in passing implemented it for git and external special remotes when
downloading from the web. Several others like S3 are within striking
distance now as well.

Added fileRetriever', which will let the remaining special remotes
eventually also support incremental verify.
Sponsored-by: Dartmouth College's DANDI project
Simply feed each chunk in turn to the incremental verifier.
When resuming an interrupted retrieve, it does not do incremental
verification. That would need to read the file, up to the resume point,
and feed it to the incremental verifier. That seems easy to get wrong.
Also it would mean extra work done before the transfer can start. Which
would complicate displaying progress, and would perhaps not appear to the
user as if it was resuming from where it left off. Instead, in that
situation, return UnVerified, and let the verification be done in a
separate pass.
Granted, Annex.CopyFile does manage all that, but it's not complicated
by dealing with chunks too.

I'm now reasonably sure I've identified both cases where this can
happen. v8 upgrades and certian filesystems eg NFS. Both are handled as
well as can be, though it may involve some extra checksumming work.
Dropping an object with drop --unused or dropunused will mark it as
dead, preventing fsck --all from complaining about it after it's been
dropped from all repositories.
If another repository still has a copy, it won't be treated as dead
until it's also dropped from there.
The drop has to use --unused, can't be --key or something else, because
this indicates that the user has recently ran git-annex unused. If it
checked the unused log on every drop, bad things would happen when the
unused log was out of date, eg a file used to be unused but then got
re-added. Marking such a file as dead could be confusing. When the user
uses --unused/dropunused, they must consider the unused information to be
up-to-date.
The particular workflow this enables is:
git annex add foo
git annex unannex foo
git annex unused
git annex drop --unused / dropunused
git annex fsck --all # no warnings
The docs for git-annex unannex say to use git-annex unused and dropunused,
so the user should be pointed in this direction when they want to undo an
accidental add.

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.

*.1 annex.numcopies=1
And foo.1 and foo.2 having the same content and key, git-annex drop foo.1 foo.2
would succeed, leaving just 1 copy, despite foo.2 needing 2 copies.
It dropped foo.1 first and then skipped foo.2 since its content was gone.

Most of this is just refactoring. But, handleDropsFrom
did not verify that associated files from the keys db were still
accurate, and has now been fixed to.
A minor improvement to this would be to avoid calling catKeyFile
twice on the same file, when getting the numcopies and mincopies value,
in the common case where the same file has the highest value for both.
But, it avoids checking every associated file, so it will scale well to
lots of dups already.

When the log has an activity that is not known, eg added by a future

This will mostly just avoid a DB lookup, so things get marginally
faster. But in cases where there are many files using the same key, it
can be a more significant speedup.
Added overhead is one MVar lookup per call, which should be small
enough, since this happens after transferring or ingesting a file,
which is always a lot more work than that. It would be nice, though,
to move getGitConfig to AnnexRead, which there is an open todo about.

When this option is not used, there should be effectively no added

b3cd0cc6ba.
When an action fails on a file, the size of the file still counts toward
the size limit. This was necessary to support concurrency, but also
generally seems like the right choice.
Most commands that operate on annexed files support the option.
export and import do not, and I don't know if it would make sense for
export to.. Why would you want an incomplete export? sync doesn't, and
while it would be easy to make it support it for transferring files,
it's not clear if dropping files should also take the size limit into
account. Commands like add that don't operate on annexed files don't
support the option either.

showSideActionAfter has some ugly caveats, since it has to display in

There seems to be no reason to check the time here. I think it was

The normalisation of filenames turns out to be the tricky part here,
because the associated files coming out of the keys db may look like
"./foo/bar" or "../bar". For the former to match a glob like "foo/*",
it needs to be normalised.
Note that, on windows, normalise "./foo/bar" = "foo\\bar"
which a glob like "foo/*" won't match. So the glob is matched a second
time, on the toInternalGitPath, so allowing the user to provide a glob
with the slashes in either direction. However, this still won't support
some wacky edge cases like the user providing a glob of "foo/bar\\*"

Before only unlocked files were included.
The initial scan now scans for locked as well as unlocked files. This
does mean it gets a little bit slower, although I optimised it as well
as I think it can be.
reconcileStaged changed to diff from the current index to the tree of
the previous index. This lets it handle deletions as well, removing
associated files for both locked and unlocked files, which did not
always happen before.
On upgrade, there will be no recorded previous tree, so it will diff
from the empty tree to current index, and so will fully populate the
associated files, as well as removing any stale associated files
that were present due to them not being removed before.
reconcileStaged now does a bit more work. Most of the time, this will
just be due to running more often, after some change is made to the
index, and since there will be few changes since the last time, it will
not be a noticable overhead. What may turn out to be a noticable
slowdown is after changing to a branch, it has to go through the diff
from the previous index to the new one, and if there are lots of
changes, that could take a long time. Also, after adding a lot of files,
or deleting a lot of files, or moving a large subdirectory, etc.
Command.Lock used removeAssociatedFile, but now that's wrong because a
newly locked file still needs to have its associated file tracked.
Command.Rekey used removeAssociatedFile when the file was unlocked.
It could remove it also when it's locked, but it is not really
necessary, because it changes the index, and so the next time git-annex
run and accesses the keys db, reconcileStaged will run and update it.
There are probably several other places that use addAssociatedFile and
don't need to any more for similar reasons. But there's no harm in
keeping them, and it probably is a good idea to, if only to support
mixing this with older versions of git-annex.
However, mixing this and older versions does risk reconcileStaged not
running, if the older version already ran it on a given index state. So
it's not a good idea to mix versions. This problem could be dealt with
by changing the name of the gitAnnexKeysDbIndexCache, but that would
leave the old file dangling, or it would need to keep trying to remove
it.
Sometimes users would get confused because an option they were looking
for was not mentioned on a subcommand's man page, and they had not
noticed that the main git-annex man page had a list of common options.
This change lets each subcommand mention the common options, similarly
to how the matching options are handled.
This commit was sponsored by Svenne Krap 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.
* Fix bug that could make git-annex importfeed not see recently recorded
state when configured with annex.alwayscommit=false.
* importfeed: Made "checking known urls" phase run 12 times faster.
The massive speedup is because it no longer queries for metadata
accompanying each url. Instead it processes the whole git-annex branch and
checks all metadata files for feed item ids, and uses any it finds.
This could result in a behavior change, in an unlikely situation: If a feed
id is recorded in a key's metadata, but the url gets removed, the old code
would not see that item id and would re-download it if it finds an url for
it in a feed, while the new code will see the item id. I don't think
the old behavior was intentional, and it may be that the new behavior is
better. Not gonna worry about this.
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.
Fix bug caused by recent optimisations that could make git-annex not see
recently recorded status information when configured with
annex.alwayscommit=false.
This does mean that --all can end up processing the same key more than once,
but before the optimisations that introduced this bug, it used to also behave
that way. So I didn't try to fix that; it's an edge case and anyway git-annex
behaves well when run on the same key repeatedly.
I am not too happy with the use of a MVar to buffer the list of files in the
journal. I guess it doesn't defeat lazy streaming of the list, if that
list is actually generated lazily, and anyway the size of the journal is
normally capped and small, so if configs are changed to make it huge and
this code path fire, git-annex using enough memory to buffer it all is not a
large problem.
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.
When downloading content from a remote, if the content is able to be
verified during the transfer, skip checksumming it a second time.
Note that in this case, the fsck output does not include "(checksum)"
which it does when the checksumming is done separately from the download.

Seems that hasOrigin was never finding origin's git-annex branch, so a new
one got created each time. And so then it later needed to merge the two
branches, which is expensive.
Added --no-track to git branch to avoid it displaying a message about
setting up tracking branches. Of course there's no reason to make the
git-annex branch a tracking branch since git-annex auto-merges it.
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.
Implemented by generalizing registerurl. Without the implicit batch mode
of registerurl since that is only a backwards compatability thing
(see commit 1d1054faa6).
This benchmarks only slightly faster than the old git-annex. Eg, for a 1
gb file, 14.56s vs 15.57s. (On a ram disk; there would certianly be
more of an effect if the file was written to disk and didn't stay in
cache.)
Commenting out the updateIncremental calls make the same run in 6.31s.
May be that overhead in the implementation, other than the actual
checksumming, is slowing it down. Eg, MVar access.
(I also tried using 10x larger chunks, which did not change the speed.)
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

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.

Directory special remotes with importtree=yes now avoid unncessary overhead
when inodes of files have changed, as happens whenever a FAT filesystem
gets remounted.
A few unusual edge cases of modifications won't be detected and
imported. I think they're unusual enough not to be a concern. It would
be possible to add a config setting that controls whether to compare
inodes too, but does not seem worth bothering the user about currently.
I chose to continue to use the InodeCache serialization, just with the
inode zeroed. This way, if I later change my mind or make it
configurable, can parse it back to an InodeCache and operate on it. The
overhead of storing a 0 in the content identifier log seems worth it.
There is a one-time cost to this change; all directory special remotes
with importtree=yes will re-hash all files once, and will update the
content identifier logs with zeroed inodes.

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.

* add: Significantly speed up adding lots of non-large files to git,
by disabling the annex smudge filter when running git add.
* add --force-small: Run git add rather than updating the index itself,
so any other smudge filters than the annex one that may be enabled will
be used.
Split out two todos for things that were mentioned as still open items
in there. Most of the others were already dealt with. I didn't open a
new todo for the import from readonly S3 bucket because I guess if
someone needs that, they can ask for it.
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.
Note that, after changing it with enableremote, syncing won't rescan
known archives in the borg repo using the changed config. Probably not a
problem?
Also used File in some places where filenames that could theoretically
start with - are passed to borg, to avoid it confusing them with
options.

git -c was already propagated via environment, but need this for
consistency.
Also, notice it does not use gitAnnexChildProcess to run the
transferrer. So nothing is done about avoid it taking the
pid lock. It's possible that the caller is already doing something that
took the pid lock, and if so, the transferrer will certianly fail,
since it needs to take the pid lock too. This may prevent combining
annex.stalldetection with annex.pidlock, but I have not verified it's
really a problem. If it was, it seems git-annex would have to take
the pid lock when starting a transferrer, and hold it until shutdown,
or would need to take pid lock when starting to use a transferrer,
and hold it until done with a transfer and then drop it. The latter
would require starting the transferrer with pid locking disabled for the
child process, so assumes that the transferrer does not do anyting that
needs locking when not running a transfer.
* Guard against running in a repo where annex.uuid is set but
annex.version is set, or vice-versa.
* Avoid autoinit when a repo does not have annex.version or annex.uuid
set, but has a git-annex objects directory, suggesting it was used
by git-annex before.
I need to think about this some more, not clear if it's a todo
item specific to stalldetection at all. Remotes with this behavior
also show no progress when run with -J. And some other remotes don't
update any progress meters at all, eg adb is that way and so are hook
remotes and of course external remotes don't have to send progress info.
Done on unix, could not implement it on windows quite.
The signal library gets part of the way needed for windows.

windows. And System.Process does not provide a way to send any signal to
a process group except for SIGINT.

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.
This is to avoid breakage when upgrading or downgrading git-annex with a
process running that uses the interface. It's better to keep the
compatability code for a few years than worry about such breakage.
