Now youtubeDlCheck downloads the beginning of the url's content and
checks if it's html, only when it is does it pass it off the youtube-dl
to check if it supports it.
This means more work is done for urls that youtube-dl does support,
but is probably more efficient for other urls, since it only downloads
the first chunk of content, while youtube-dl probably downloads more.
As well as the reported bug, this also fixes behavior when an url
was added with youtube-dl, but the url content has now changed from
a html page to something else. Remote.Web.checkKey used to wrongly
succeed in that situation, since youtube-dl said sure it can download
that something else.

Fully working, including --fast/--relaxed.
Note that, while git-annex addurl --relaxed is not going to check
youtube-dl, I kept git annex importfeed --relaxed checking it.
Thinking is that, let's not break people's importfeed cron jobs, and
importfeed does not typically have to check a large number of new items,
so it's ok if it's a little bit slower when used with youtube playlist
feeds.
importfeed's behavior is also improved (?) when a feed has links in it
to non-media files. Before, those were skipped. Now, the content of the
link is downloaded. This had to be done, because trying to use
youtube-dl is slow, and if those were skipped, it would have to check
every time importfeed was run. While this behavior change may not be
desirable for some feeds, that intersperse links to web pages with
enclosures, it will be desirable for other feeds, that have
non-enclosure directy links to media files.
Remove old quvi modules.

This will be used in youtube-dl integration, to tell when a html page has
been downloaded by addurl, in which case it is worth running youtube-dl
to see if it can extract media from it.
tagsoup is an almost free dependency, because yesod depends on it.
So, this only really adds a dep when git-annex is built without the
webapp.
I'd like this to as closely as possible match how browsers decide if a
page is html or not. Unfortunately, that is fairly heuristic, in order
to support malformed html. And, we don't want to falsely detect
something as html just because it has something that looks like a html
tag embedded somewhere in it. Probably any major video hosting site is
going to be serving html documents that at least start with a <html>
tag, so requiring that or a DOCTYPE should be good enough.

They need unix on non-windows, for Utility.Env, which Build.Configure uses,
but cabal can't express that in a custom-setup stanza.
To avoid this problem, Utility.Env would need to be moved into
unix-compat..
Windows needs the setenv package in custom-setup, but I don't want to
pull it in on unix, which would probably break some builds and need more
work. Instead, split out setEnv to a separate module.
Quite likely, unix-compat will get a portable environment layer, and
then both modules can be removed from here.

That version has my patches for the problems that Utility.PosixFiles
was working around, so am able to get rid of that module now.
This will later allow bringing back the custom-setup stanza in the cabal

not ready to do yet.

Windows: Fix reversion that caused the path used to link to annexed
content include the drive letter and full path, rather than being
relative. (`git annex fix` will fix up after this problem).
I've not identified the commit that brought the reversion (probably it
happened this spring when I was removing MisingH and last touched
Utility.Path). Likely commit 18b9a4b8024115db67ae309fdaf54e1553037529?
The problem is that relPathDirToFile got called two paths that had the
slashes different ways around. Since takeDrive includes the first slash,
this made two paths on the same drive seem different and it bailed.

webdav: Checking if a non-existent file is present on Box.com triggered a
bug in its webdav support that generates an infinite series of redirects.
It seems to redirect foo to foo/ to foo/index.php to
foo/index.php/index.php ... Why a webdav endpoint would behave this way
who knows.
Deal with such problems by assuming such behavior means the file is not
present.
Can't simply disable following redirects, because the webdav endpoint could
legitimately be redirected to a new endpoint. So, when this happens
10 redirects have to be followed, before it gives up and assumes this means
the file does not exist.

This avoids needing to deal with the complexity of partially transferred
files in the export. We'd not be able to resume uploading to such a file
anyway, so just avoid them.
The implementation in Remote.Directory is not completely ideal, because
it could leave the temp file hanging around in the export directory.
This only happens if it's killed with -9, or there's a power failure;
normally viaTmp cleans up after itself, even when interrupted. I could
not see a better way to do it though, since the export directory might
be the root of a filesystem.
Also some design thoughts on resuming, which depend on storeExport being
atomic.

Security fix: Disallow hostname starting with a dash, which would get
passed to ssh and be treated an option. This could be used by an attacker
who provides a crafted ssh url (for eg a git remote) to execute arbitrary
code via ssh -oProxyCommand.
No CVE has yet been assigned for this hole.
The same class of security hole recently affected git itself,
CVE-2017-1000117.
Method: Identified all places where ssh is run, by git grep '"ssh"'
Converted them all to use a SshHost, if they did not already, for
specifying the hostname.
SshHost was made a data type with a smart constructor, which rejects
hostnames starting with '-'.
Note that git-annex already contains extensive use of Utility.SafeCommand,
which fixes a similar class of problem where a filename starting with a
dash gets passed to a program which treats it as an option.

By forking a worker process and only deleting the test directory once it exits.
This way, if a test leaves files open, they'll get closed when the worker
exits, so avoiding failure to delete open files on Windows, and failure to
delete directories due to NFS lock files.
If a test leaves a git worker process running, the closed pipes should
cause the worker to exit too, also avoiding the problem there. The 10
second sleep ought to give plenty of time for such worker processes to
exit, although this is of course a race.
Finally, even if test directory fails to be deleted still,
it won't appear as if the last test in the test suite failed; the error
will be displayed at the very end.

QuickCheck 2.10 found a counterexample eg "\929184" broke the property.
As far as I can tell, Git.Filename is matching how git handles encoding
of strange high unicode characters in filenames for display. Git does
not display high unicode characters, and instead displays the C-style
escaped form of each byte. This is ambiguous, but since git is not
unicode aware, it doesn't need to roundtrip parse it.
So, making Git.FileName's roundtrip test only chars < 256 seems fine.
Utility.Format.format uses encode_c, in order to mimic git, so that's
ok.
Utility.Format.gen uses decode_c, but only so that stuff like "\n"
in the format string is handled. If the format string contains C-style
octal escapes, they will be converted to ascii characters, and not
combined into unicode characters, but that should not be a problem.
If the user wants unicode characters, they can include them in the
format string, without escaping them.
Finally, decode_c is used by Utility.Gpg.secretKeys, because gpg
--with-colons hex-escapes some characters in particular ':' and '\\'.
gpg passes unicode through, so this use of decode_c is not a problem.

I think I've addressed the problem identified earlier in
09a66f702d. On Windows,
absPathFrom "/tmp/repo/xxx" "y/bar" would be "/tmp/repo/xxx\\y/bar",
which then confuses relPathDirToFile. Fixed by converting to unix (git)
style paths.
Also, relPathDirToFile was splitting only on \\ on windows and not /
which broke the example in 09a66f702d of
relPathDirToFile (absPathFrom "/tmp/repo/xxx" "y/bar") "/tmp/repo/.git/annex/objects/xxx"
Now, on windows, that will yield "..\\..\\..\\.git/annex/objects/xxx"
which once converted to unix style paths is what we want.
The bug was that withFile closes the handle afterwards, but the content
of the file was not read due to laziness. Using readFile avoids it.

* Run curl with -S, so HTTP errors are displayed, even when
it's otherwise silent.
* When downloading in --json or --quiet mode, use curl in preference
to wget, since curl is able to display only errors to stderr, unlike
wget.
This does mean that downloadQuiet is only silent on stdout, not necessarily
on stderr, which affects a couple other calls of it. For example,
downloading the .git/config of a http remote may show an error message now,
perhaps with slightly suboptimal formatting due to other output.
This adds one extra line of output when a download is successful,
after the progress bar. I don't much like that, but wget does not provide a
way to show HTTP errors without it.
This allows using functions that generate CreateProcess and passing the
result to processTranscript', which is more flexible, and also simpler
than the old interface.

Probing for hard link support in the pid locking code is redundant since

Wormhole pairing will start to provide an appid to wormhole on 2021-12-31.
An appid can't be provided now because Debian stable is going to ship a

that by 2021-12-31, this version of git-annex will be shipped in a Debian
stable release. If that turns out to not be the case, this change will need
to be cherry-picked into the git-annex in Debian stable, or its wormhole

Turns out that Data.List.Utils.split is slow and makes a lot of

the same (even in wacky corner cases) while running in half the time and

As well as being an optimisation, this helps move toward eliminating use of
missingh.
(Data.List.Split.splitOn is nearly as slow as Data.List.Utils.split and
allocates even more.)

weasel explained that apparmor limits on what files tor can read do not

remotedaemon looks up the HiddenServicePort in torrc, so if it was

sendFile does not currently work, due to
https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole/issues/108
Parsing the output to find the magic code is done as robustly as
possible, and should continue to work unless wormhole radically changes
the format of its codes. Presumably it will never output something that
looks like a wormhole code before the actual wormhole code; that would
also break this. It would be better if there was a way to make
wormhole not mix the code with other output, as requested in

The attacker could just send a very lot of data, with no \n and it would
all be buffered in memory until the kernel killed git-annex or perhaps OOM
killed some other more valuable process.
This is a low impact security hole, only affecting communication between
local git-annex and git-annex-shell on the remote system. (With either
able to be the attacker). Only those with the right ssh key can do it. And,
there are probably lots of ways to construct git repositories that make git
use a lot of memory in various ways, which would have similar impact as
this attack.
The fix in P2P/IO.hs would have been higher impact, if it had made it to a
released version, since it would have allowed DOSing the tor hidden
service without needing to authenticate.
(The LockContent and NotifyChanges instances may not be really
exploitable; since the line is read and ignored, it probably gets read
lazily and does not end up staying buffered in memory.)

On Debian, apparmor prevents tor from reading from most locations. And,
it silently fails if it is prevented from reading the hidden service
socket. I filed #846275 about this; violating the FHS is the least bad of a
bad set of choices until that bug is fixed.
Still a couple bugs:
* Closing the connection to the server leaves git upload-pack /
receive-pack running, which could be used to DOS.
* Sometimes the data is transferred, but it fails at the end, sometimes
with:

For use with tor hidden services, and perhaps other transports later.
Based on Utility.SimpleProtocol, it's a line-based protocol,
interspersed with transfers of bytestrings of a specified size.
Implementation of the local and remote sides of the protocol is done
using a free monad. This lets monadic code be included here, without
tying it to any particular way to get bytes peer-to-peer.
This adds a dependency on the haskell package "free", although that
was probably pulled in transitively from other dependencies already.

ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

This avoids needing to bind to the right port before something else
does.
The socket is in /var/run/user/$uid/ which ought to be writable by only
that uid. At least it is on linux systems using systemd.
For Windows, may need to revisit this and use ports or something.

was 0.2.6.3. That is not in Debian stable, but is available in

Tor unfortunately does not come out of the box configured to let hidden
services register themselves on the fly via the ControlPort.
And, changing the config to enable the ControlPort and a particular type
of auth for it may break something already using the ControlPort, or
lessen the security of the system.
So, this leaves only one option to us: Add a hidden service to the
torrc. git-annex enable-tor does so, and picks an unused high port for
tor to listen on for connections to the hidden service.
It's up to the caller to somehow pick a local port to listen on
that won't be used by something else. That may be difficult to do..

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.
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.
Mostly the username is only used for the git committer or other display
purposes, and we can just fall back to a dummy value in these cases.
The only remaining place where an error is thrown is when starting local

It started exporting a isSymbolicLink which supports windows. But,
git-annex does no use symlinks on windows yet and this conflicts with the
function by the same name from unix-compat, so hide it.
This fixes behavior in this situation:
l1 <- lockShared Nothing "lck"
l2 <- lockShared Nothing "lck"
dropLock l1
dropLock l2
Before, the lock was dropped upon the second dropLock call, but the fd
remained open, and would never be closed while the program was running.
Fixed by a rather round-about method, but it should work well enough.
It would have been simpler to open open the shared lock once, and not open
it again in the second call to lockShared. But, that's difficult to do
atomically.
This also affects Windows and PID locks, not just posix locks.
In the case of pid locks, multiple calls to waitLock within the same
process are allowed because the side lock is locked using a posix lock,
and so multiple exclusive locks can be taken in the same process. So,
this change fixes a similar problem with pid locks.
l1 <- waitLock (Seconds 1) "lck"
l2 <- waitLock (Seconds 1) "lck"
dropLock l1
dropLock l2
Here the l2 side lock fd remained open but not locked,
although the pid lock file was removed. After this change, the second
dropLock will close both fds to the side lock, and delete the pidlock.
According to https://github.com/redneb/disk-free-space/issues/3 ,
disk-free-space should be at least as portable as my homegrown code was.
One change I noticed is, getDiskSize was not implemented for windows
in the old code, and should work now.
This lets readonly repos be used. If a repo is readonly, we can ignore the

This reverts commit d14770ca9c.
That changed the type of error from an IOError to something else, so broke
stuff that was catching IOErrors.
So back to a UserError, but be explicit this time that's what it's
throwing.
Using fail here causes a "user error" exception to be thrown, which implies
the user is at fault in its wording, which is incorrect.
Also audited for other uses of fail in git-annex; the others are in monadic
contexts where fail may not throw an exception, and involve user input, so
kept them as-is.
The repo path is typically relative, not absolute, so
providing it to absPathFrom doesn't yield an absolute path.
This is not a bug, just unclear documentation.
Indeed, there seem to be no reason to simplifyPath here, which absPathFrom
does, so instead just combine the repo path and the TopFilePath.
Also, removed an export of the TopFilePath constructor; asTopFilePath
is provided to construct one as-is.
Several tricky parts:
* When the conflict is just between the same key being locked and unlocked,
the unlocked version wins, and the file is not renamed in this case.
* Need to update associated file map when conflict resolution renames
an unlocked file.
* git merge runs the smudge filter on the conflicting file, and actually
overwrites the file with the same content it had before, and so
invalidates its inode cache. This makes it difficult to know when it's
safe to remove such files as conflict cruft, without going so far as to
compare their entire contents.
Dealt with this by preventing the smudge filter from populating the file
when a merge is run. However, that also prevents the smudge filter being
run for non-conflicting files, so eg moving a file won't put its new
content into place.
* Ideally, if a merge or a merge conflict resolution renames an unlocked
file, the file in the work tree can just be moved, rather than copying
the content to a new worktree file.
This is attempted to be done in merge conflict resolution, but
due to git merge's behavior of running smudge filters, what actually
seems to happen is the old worktree file with the content is deleted and
rewritten as a pointer file, so doesn't get reused.
So, this is probably not as efficient as it optimally could be.
If that becomes a problem, could look into running the merge in a separate
worktree and updating the real worktree more efficiently, similarly to the
direct mode merge. However, the direct mode merge had a lot of bugs, and
I'd rather not use that more error-prone method unless really needed.
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
Caused by AMP.. Since I've finally upgraded my dev laptop to 7.10,
I may start missing imports that are not needed with it but are with older
versions..

* Fix insecure temporary permissions when git-annex repair is used in
in a corrupted git repository.
Other calls to withTmpDir didn't leak any potentially private data,
but repair clones the git repository to a temp directory which is made
using the user's umask. Thus, it might expose a git repo that is
otherwise locked down.
* Fix potential denial of service attack when creating temp dirs.
Since withTmpDir used easily predictable temporary directory names,
an attacker could create foo.0, foo.1, etc and as long as it managed to
keep ahead of it, could prevent it from ever returning.
I'd rate this as a low utility DOS attack. Most attackers in a position
to do this could just fill up the disk /tmp is on to prevent anything
from writing temp files. And few parts of git-annex use withTmpDir
anyway, so DOS potential is quite low.
Examined all callers of withTmpDir and satisfied myself that
switching to mkdtmp and so getting a mode 700 temp dir wouldn't break any
of them.
Note that withTmpDirIn continues to not force temp dir to 700.
But it's only used for temp directories inside .git/annex/wherever/
so that is not a problem.
Also re-audited all other uses of temp files and dirs in git-annex.
The Keys database can hold multiple inode caches for a given key. One for
the annex object, and one for each pointer file, which may not be hard
linked to it.
Inode caches for a key are recorded when its content is added to the annex,
but only if it has known pointer files. This is to avoid the overhead of
maintaining the database when not needed.
When the smudge filter outputs a file's content, the inode cache is not
updated, because git's smudge interface doesn't let us write the file. So,
dropping will fall back to doing an expensive verification then. Ideally,
git's interface would be improved, and then the inode cache could be
updated then too.
Had everything available, just didn't combine the progress meter with the
other places progress is sent to update it. (And to a remote repo already
did show progress.)
Most special remotes should already display progress meters with -J,
same as without it. One exception to this is the web, since it relies on
wget/curl progress display without -J. Still todo..
There's a potential race, but it's detected and just results in the other
process failing to take the side lock, so possibly retrying one second
later on. The race window is quite narrow so the extra delay is minor.
Left the side lock files mode 666 because an interruption can leave a side
lock file created by another user for a shared repository. When this
happens, the non-owning user can't delete it (+t) but can still lock it,
and so the code falls back to acting as it did before this commit.
