Joey Hess 33b914bcf1 pending adds now retried for kqueue
Rethought how to keep track of pending adds that need to be retried later.
The commit thread already run up every second when there are changes,
so let's keep pending adds queued as changes until they're safe to add.

Also, the committer is now smarter about avoiding empty commits when
all the adds are currently unsafe, or in the rare case that an add event
for a symlink is not received in time. It may avoid them entirely.

This seems to work as before for inotify, and is untested for kqueue.

(Actually commit batching seems to be improved for inotify, although I'm
not sure why. I'm seeing only two commits made during large batch
operations, and the first of those is the non-batch mode commit.)

- Overview of threads and MVars, etc:
-
- Thread 1: parent
- The initial thread run, double forks to background, starts other
- threads, and then stops, waiting for them to terminate,
- or for a ctrl-c.
- Thread 2: watcher
- Notices new files, and calls handlers for events, queuing changes.
- Thread 3: inotify internal
- Used by haskell inotify library to ensure inotify event buffer is
- kept drained.
- Thread 4: inotify startup scanner
- Scans the tree and registers inotify watches for each directory.
- A MVar lock is used to prevent other inotify handlers from running
- until this is complete.
- Thread 5: committer
- Waits for changes to occur, and runs the git queue to update its
- index, then commits.
- Thread 6: status logger
- Wakes up periodically and records the daemon's status to disk.
- Thread 7: sanity checker
- Wakes up periodically (rarely) and does sanity checks.
-
- ThreadState: (MVar)
- The Annex state is stored here, which allows resuscitating the
- Annex monad in IO actions run by the inotify and committer
- threads. Thus, a single state is shared amoung the threads, and
- only one at a time can access it.
- DaemonStatusHandle: (MVar)
- The daemon's current status. This MVar should only be manipulated
- from inside the Annex monad, which ensures it's accessed only
- after the ThreadState MVar.
- ChangeChan: (STM TChan)
- Changes are indicated by writing to this channel. The committer
- reads from it.
