The upgrade from V9 uses this to avoid an automatic upgrade until 1 year
after the V9 update. It can also be used in future such situations.

v10 will run 1 year after the upgrade to v9, to give time for any v8
processes to die. Until that point, the v10 upgrade will be tried by
every process but deferred, so added support for deferring upgrades.
The upgrade prevention lock file that will be used by v10 is not yet
implemented, so it does not yet defer.

This is the start of v9, but it's currently identical to v8, and v8 is
not upgraded to it. git-annex upgrade will upgrade to v9 with this
change.

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.
Fixes reversion in 8.20200617 that made annex.pidlock being enabled result
in some commands stalling, particularly those needing to autoinit.
Renamed runsGitAnnexChildProcess to make clearer where it should be
used.
Arguably, it would be better to have a way to make any process git-annex
runs have the env var set. But then it would need to take the pid lock
when running any and all processes, and that would be a problem when
git-annex runs two processes concurrently. So, I'm left doing it ad-hoc
in places where git-annex really does run a child process, directly
or indirectly via a particular git command.
Improve git-annex's ability to find the path to its program, especially
when it needs to run itself in another repo to upgrade it.
Some parts of the code used readProgramFile, probably because I forgot that
programPath exists.
I noticed this when a git-annex auto-upgrade failed because it was running
git-annex upgrade --autoonly, but the code to run git-annex used
readProgramFile, which happened to point to an older build of git-annex.
Upgrade other repos than the current one by running git-annex upgrade
inside them, which avoids problems with upgrade code making assumptions
that the cwd will be inside the repo being upgraded.
In particular, this fixes a problem where upgrading a v7 repo to v8 caused
an ugly git error message.
I actually could not find a way to make Upgrade.V7 work properly
without changing directory to the remote. Once I got git ls-files to work,
the git cat-file failed because :path can only be used in the current git
repo.
Adds a dependency on filepath-bytestring, an as yet unreleased fork of
filepath that operates on RawFilePath.
Git.Repo also changed to use RawFilePath for the path to the repo.
This does eliminate some RawFilePath -> FilePath -> RawFilePath
conversions. And filepath-bytestring's </> is probably faster.
But I don't expect a major performance improvement from this.
This is mostly groundwork for making Annex.Location use RawFilePath,
which will allow for a conversion-free pipleline.
Since the sqlite branch uses blobs extensively, there are some
performance benefits, ByteStrings now get stored and retrieved w/o
conversion in some cases like in Database.Export.
Finally builds (oh the agoncy of making it build), but still very
unmergable, only Command.Find is included and lots of stuff is badly
hacked to make it compile.
Benchmarking vs master, this git-annex find is significantly faster!
Specifically:
num files old new speedup
48500 4.77 3.73 28%
12500 1.36 1.02 66%
20 0.075 0.074 0% (so startup time is unchanged)
That's without really finishing the optimization. Things still to do:
* Eliminate all the fromRawFilePath, toRawFilePath, encodeBS,
decodeBS conversions.
* Use versions of IO actions like getFileStatus that take a RawFilePath.
* Eliminate some Data.ByteString.Lazy.toStrict, which is a slow copy.
* Use ByteString for parsing git config to speed up startup.
It's likely several of those will speed up git-annex find further.
And other commands will certianly benefit even more.
Renamed the database to .git/annex/keysdb;
the old .git/annex/keys gets deleted during the upgrade.
It is possible that an old git-annex process is running during the
upgrade. If so, it will be able to continue using the old keys db until the
upgrade is complete, and then will presumably fail in some ugly way. Or
perhaps the upgrade will be unable to delete the open files on some
systems, and so fail with an ugly error message.
It's also possible for multiple processes to be running the upgrade
concurrently. That should be fine; they will both write the same
information into the keys db.
Other databases still need to be upgraded.
Can be set to false to prevent any automatic repository upgrades.
Also, removed direct mode specific upgrade code in Annex.Init, and made
needsUpgrade always include the name/path of the repo, so if
there's a problem it's clear what repo has the problem.
And, made needsUpgrade catch any exceptions that might occur during the
upgrade, so it can display a more useful error message than just the
exception.
This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
Install new git hooks in this version.
This does beg the question of what to do if git later gets eg a
post-smudge hook, that could run git-annex smudge --update. I think the
thing to do in that case would be to make git-annex smudge --update
install the new hooks. That way, as the user uses git-annex, the hook
would be created pretty quickly and without needing any extra syscalls
except for when git-annex smudge --update is called.
I considered doing something like that for installation of the
post-checkout and post-merge hooks, which would have avoided the need
for v7. But the only place it was cheap to do it would be in git-annex smudge
which could cheaply notice that smudge.log didn't exist yet and so know
the hooks needed to be installed. But since smudge used to populate pointer
files, it would be quite surprising if a single git checkout/merge failed
to update the work tree, and so that idea didn't work out.
The other reason for v7 is psychological -- users don't need to worry
about whether they might be running an old version of git-annex that
doesn't support their v7 repository very well. And bug reports about
"v6" have gotten a bit of a bad association in my head since they often
hit one of the known limitations and didn't realize it was experimental.
newtyped RepoVersion Int to avoid needing 2 comparisons in
versionSupportsUnlockedPointers etc. Also it's just nicer.

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.

Fixes a bug introduced with v6 mode that I didn't notice until now.
Probably not many v3 repos left out there, and upgrading them to v6 mode
is not disastrous, only a little premature.
This commit was sponsored by Riku Voipio
Since all places where a repo is used in direct mode need to have git-annex
upgraded before the repo can safely be converted to v6, the upgrade needs
to be manual for now.
I suppose that at some point I'll want to drop all the direct mode support
code. At that point, will stop supporting v5, and will need to auto-upgrade
any remaining v5 repos. If possible, I'd like to carry the direct mode
support for say, a year or so, to give people plenty of time to upgrade and
avoid disruption.
Do not set annex.version whenever any command is run. Just do it in init.
This ensures that, if a repo has annex.version=3, it has a git-annex
branch, so we don't have to run a command every time to check for the
branch.
Remove the old ad-hoc logic for v0 and v1, to simplify version checking.
It compiles. It sorta works. Several subcommands are FIXME marked and
broken, because things that used to accept separate --backend and --key
params need to be changed to accept just a --key that encodes all the key
info, now that there is metadata in keys.
