This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
Removed old extensible-exceptions, only needed for very old ghc.
Made webdav use Utility.Exception, to work after some changes in DAV's
exception handling.
Removed Annex.Exception. Mostly this was trivial, but note that
tryAnnex is replaced with tryNonAsync and catchAnnex replaced with
catchNonAsync. In theory that could be a behavior change, since the former
caught all exceptions, and the latter don't catch async exceptions.
However, in practice, nothing in the Annex monad uses async exceptions.
Grepping for throwTo and killThread only find stuff in the assistant,
which does not seem related.
Command.Add.undo is changed to accept a SomeException, and things
that use it for rollback now catch non-async exceptions, rather than
only IOExceptions.
Only fsck and reinject and the test suite used the Backend, and they can
look it up as needed from the Key. This simplifies the code and also speeds
it up.
There is a small behavior change here. Before, all commands would warn when
acting on an annexed file with an unknown backend. Now, only fsck and
reinject show that warning.
Checking .gitattributes adds a full minute to a git annex find looking for
files that don't have enough copies. 2:25 increasts to 3:27. I feel this is
too much of a slowdown to justify making it the default. So, exposed two
versions of the preferred content expression, a slow one and a fast but
approximate one.
I'm using the approximate one in the default preferred content expressions
to avoid slowing down the assistant.
* Add numcopiesneeded preferred content expression.
* Client, transfer, incremental backup, and archive repositories
now want to get content that does not yet have enough copies.
This means the asssistant will make copies of files that don't yet
meet the configured numcopies, even to places that would not normally want
the file.
For example, if numcopies is 4, and there are 2 client repos and
2 transfer repos, and 2 removable backup drives, the file will be sent
to both transfer repos in order to make 4 copies. Once a removable drive
get a copy of the file, it will be dropped from one transfer repo or the
other (but not both).
Another example, numcopies is 3 and there is a client that has a backup
removable drive and two small archive repos. Normally once one of the small
archives has a file, it will not be put into the other one. But, to satisfy
numcopies, the assistant will duplicate it into the other small archive
too, if the backup repo is not available to receive the file.
I notice that these examples are fairly unlikely setups .. the old behavior
was not too bad, but it's nice to finally have it really correct.
.. Almost. I have skipped checking the annex.numcopies .gitattributes
out of fear it will be too slow.

Let's make semitrusted+:1 mean that, since it cannot be expressed easily
with the current syntax (could use (semitrusted:1 or trusted:1), but that
does not scale to higher values than 2 copy, and also fails if I add more
trust levels).
Thanks to Andy for spotting this bug by just reading my blog.
I would have sort of liked to put this in .gitattributes, but it seems
it does not support multi-word attribute values. Also, making this a single
config setting makes it easy to only parse the expression once.
A natural next step would be to make the assistant `git add` files that
are not annex.largefiles. OTOH, I don't think `git annex add` should
`git add` such files, because git-annex command line tools are
not in the business of wrapping git command line tools.
Various things that don't work on Android are just ifdefed out.
* the webapp (needs template haskell for arm)
* --include and --exclude globbing (needs libpcre, which is not ported;
probably I'll make it use the pure haskell glob library instead)
* annex.diskreserve checking (missing sys/statvfs.h)
* timestamp preservation support (yawn)
* S3
* WebDAV
* XMPP
The resulting 17mb binary has been tested on Android, and it is able to,
at least, print its usage message.
* get/copy --auto: Transfer data even if it would exceed numcopies,
when preferred content settings want it.
* drop --auto: Fix dropping content when there are no preferred content
settings.
in= was problimatic in two ways. First, it referred to a remote by name,
but preferred content expressions can be evaluated elsewhere, where that
remote doesn't exist, or a different remote has the same name. This name
lookup code could error out at runtime. Secondly, in= seemed pretty useless.
in=here did not cause content to be gotten, but it did let present content
be dropped.
present is more useful, although "not present" is unstable and should be
avoided.
When in a subdir, both the normal filepath, and the filepath relative to
the top of the git repo are needed for matching. The former for key lookup,
and the latter for include/exclude to match against. Previously, key lookup
didn't work in this situation.
Solves the issue with preferred content expressions and dropping that
I mentioned yesterday. My solution was to add a parameter to specify a set
of repositories where content should be assumed not to be present. When
deciding whether to drop, it can put the current repository in, and then
if the expression fails to match, the content can be dropped.
Using yesterday's example "(not copies=trusted:2) and (not in=usbdrive)",
when the local repo is one of the 2 trusted copies, the drop check will
see only 1 trusted copy, so the expression matches, and so the content will
not be dropped.
This includes a full parser for the boolean expressions in the log,
that compiles them into Matchers. Those matchers are not used yet.
A complication is that matching against an expression should never
crash git-annex with an error. Instead, vicfg checks that the expressions
parse. If a bad expression (or an expression understood by some future
git-annex version) gets into the log, it'll be ignored.
Most of the code in Limit couldn't fail anyway, but I did have to make
limitCopies check its parameter first, and return an error if it's bad,
rather than erroring at runtime.
Incomplete; I need to finish parsing and saving. This will also be used
for editing transfer control expresssions.
Removed the group display from the status output, I didn't really
like that format, and vicfg can be used to see as well as edit rempository
group membership.
The --copies flag now takes an argument of the form:
trustlevel:number or number
If a trust level is specified the command is limited to files
with at least 'number' copies of this 'trustlevel'.
Do not need to check the location log in this case, can just check inAnnex.
This is both an optimisation and perhaps a correctness measure
(fsck --in . should fsck files even if the location log is damaged.)
filterM is not a good idea if you were streaming in a large list of files.
Fixing this memory leak that I introduced earlier today was a PITA because
to avoid the filterM, it's necessary to do the filtering only after
building up the data structures like BackendFile, and that means each
separate data structure needs it own function to apply the filter,
at least in this naive implementation.
There is also a minor performance regression, when using copy/drop/get/fsck
with a filter, git is now asked to look up attributes for all files,
since that now comes before the filter is applied. This is only a very
minor thing, since getting the attributes is very fast and --exclude was
probably not typically used to speed it up.
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=...
I dislike -( and -), but without using a different option parser, can't
easily use bare parens.
--and and --or will become more useful once there are more interesting
limits than --exclude
