CI to automate build of cargo lockfiles on different Alpine releases for git-annex aports

That git fixed a memory leak that could cause an OOM during the upgrade. Most git-annex builds have a new enough git already. OSX git was upgraded with brew. Linux i386ancient build's git was too old. Upgrading it to a fixed git didn't work (due to the newer git not working with the old ssh, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/git/issues/detail?id=7 ) Choices to deal with that were: * Somehow make direct mode upgrade work with the old git, avoiding its OOM problem. One way would be to switch the repo to indirect mode first, and so upgrade to a repo with locked files. Not good when the filesystem does not support symlinks. * backport the OOM fix from git 2.22 (And do what about the version number so git-annex knows it's fixed?) * backport openssh (and possibly more stuff) * move the i386ancient build to at least Debian stretch (still backporting git) But this will make it no longer work with some of the ancient kernels it targets. Of those, backporting the OOM fix seemed the best approach. Put "oomfix" in the git version number to indicate it. I have not automated building the git backport, so here's the patch I used: diff -ur orig/git-2.1.4/convert.c git-2.1.4/convert.c --- orig/git-2.1.4/convert.c 2014-12-18 18:42:18.000000000 +0000 +++ git-2.1.4/convert.c 2019-08-29 20:05:04.371872338 +0100 @@ -404,7 +404,7 @@ if (start_async(&async)) return 0; /* error was already reported */ - if (strbuf_read(&nbuf, async.out, len) < 0) { + if (strbuf_read(&nbuf, async.out, 0) < 0) { error("read from external filter %s failed", cmd); ret = 0; } diff -ur orig/git-2.1.4/GIT-VERSION-GEN git-2.1.4/GIT-VERSION-GEN --- orig/git-2.1.4/GIT-VERSION-GEN 2014-12-18 18:42:18.000000000 +0000 +++ git-2.1.4/GIT-VERSION-GEN 2019-08-29 20:06:39.132743228 +0100 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ #!/bin/sh GVF=GIT-VERSION-FILE -DEF_VER=v2.1.4 +DEF_VER=v2.1.4.oomfix LF=' ' diff -ur orig/git-2.1.4/configure git-2.1.4/configure --- orig/git-2.1.4/configure 2014-12-18 18:42:19.000000000 +0000 +++ git-2.1.4/configure 2019-08-29 20:27:45.896380015 +0100 @@ -580,8 +580,8 @@ # Identity of this package.

git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due to limitations in memory, checksumming time, or disk space.
