This commit includes a paydown on technical debt incurred two years ago,
when I didn't know that it was bad to make custom Read and Show instances
for types. As the routes need Read and Show for Transfer, which includes a
Key, and deriving my own Read instance of key was not practical,
I had to finally clean that up.
So the compact Key read and show functions are now file2key and key2file,
and Read and Show are now derived instances.
Changed all code that used the old instances, compiler checked.
(There were a few places, particularly in Command.Unused, and the test
suite where the Show instance continue to be used for legitimate
comparisons; ie show key_x == show key_y (though really in a bloom filter))
Made --from and --to command-specific options.
Added generic storage for values of command-specific options,
which allows removing some of the special case fields in AnnexState.
(Also added generic storage for command-specific flags, although there are
not yet any.)
Note that this storage uses a Map, so repeatedly looking up the same value
is slightly more expensive than looking up an AnnexState field. But, the
value can be looked up once in the seek stage, transformed as necessary,
and passed in a closure to the start stage, and this avoids that overhead.
Still, I'm hesitant to use this for things like force or fast flags.
It's probably best to reserve it for flags that are only used by a few
commands, or options like --from and --to that it's important only be
allowed to be used with commands that implement them, to avoid user
confusion.
It would be nice if command-specific options were supported. The first
difficulty is that which command is being called is not known until after
getopt; but that could be worked around by finding the first non-dashed
parameter. Storing the settings without putting them in the annex monad is
the next difficulty; it could perhaps be handled by making the seek stage
pass applicable settings into the start stage (and from there on to perform
as needed). But that still leaves a problem, what data type to use to
represent the options between getopt and seek?
This new approach allows filtering out checks from the default set that are
not appropriate for a command, rather than having to list every check
that is appropriate. It also reduces some boilerplate.
Haskell does not define Eq for functions, so I had to go a long way around
with each check having a unique id. Meh.
find: Rather than only showing files whose contents are present, when used
with --exclude --copies or --in, displays all files that match the
specified conditions.
Note that this is a behavior change for find --exclude! Old behavior
can be gotten with find --in . --exclude=...
These were a mistake, they make the type signatures harder to read and
less flexible. The CommandSeek, CommandStart, CommandPerform, and
CommandCleanup types were a good idea, but composing them with the
parameters expected is going too far.
When adding files to the annex, the symlinks pointing at the annexed
content are made to have the same mtime as the original file. While git
does not preserve that information, this allows a tool like metastore to be
used with annexed files.
Based on http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3307 ,
whether FilePath contains decoded unicode varies by OS.
So, add a configure check for it.
Also, renamed showFile to filePathToString
Internally, the filenames are stored as un-decoded unicode.
I tried decoding them, but then haskell tries to access the wrong files.
Hmm.
So, I've unhappily chosen option "B", which is to decode filenames before
they are displayed.
