* Submodules are now supported by git-annex!Gravatar Joey Hess2015-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Seems to work, but still experimental until it's been tested more. When repositories are on filesystems not supporting symlinks, the .git dir symlink trick cannot be used. Since we're going to be in direct mode anyway, the .git dir symlink is not strictly needed. However, I have not fixed the code that creates new annex symlinks to handle this case -- the committed symlinks will be wrong. git annex sync happens to currently fail in a submodule using direct mode, because there's no HEAD ref. That also needs to be dealt with to get this fully working in crippled filesystems. Leaving http://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/44 open until these issues are dealt with.

* handle sync's use of setCurrentDirectory to work with relative pathsGravatar Joey Hess2015-01-06
| | | | | | I think this is the last problimatic setCurrentDirectory. I also audited for extrnal commands that git-annex might run with cwd = foo, and did not find any that were passed any FilePath that might be absolute.
* Switch to using relative paths to the git repository.Gravatar Joey Hess2015-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows the git repository to be moved while git-annex is running in it, with fewer problems. On Windows, this avoids some of the problems with the absurdly small MAX_PATH of 260 bytes. In particular, git-annex repositories should work in deeper/longer directory structures than before. See http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/__34__git-annex:_direct:_1_failed__34___on_Windows/ There are several possible ways this change could break git-annex: 1. If it changes its working directory while it's running, that would be Bad News. Good news everyone! git-annex never does so. It would also break thread safety, so all such things were stomped out long ago. 2. parentDir "." -> "" which is not a valid path. I had to fix one instace of this, and I should probably wipe all calls to parentDir out of the git-annex code base; it was never a good idea. 3. Things like relPathDirToFile require absolute input paths, and code assumes that the git repo path is absolute and passes it to it as-is. In the case of relPathDirToFile, I converted it to not make this assumption. Currently, the test suite has 16 failures.

* When accessing a local remote, shut down git-cat-file processes afterwards, ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2014-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to ensure that remotes on removable media can be unmounted. Closes: #758630 This does mean that eg, copying multiple files to a local remote will become slightly slower, since it now restarts git-cat-file after each copy. Should not be significant slowdown. The reason git-cat-file is run on the remote at all is to update its location log. In order to add an item to it, it needs to get the current content of the log. Finding a way to avoid needing to do that would be a good path to avoiding this slowdown if it does become a problem somehow. This commit was sponsored by Evan Deaubl.
* unify exception handling into Utility.ExceptionGravatar Joey Hess2014-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* fix for Windows file timestamp timezone madnessGravatar Joey Hess2014-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Windows, changing the time zone causes the apparent mtime of files to change. This confuses git-annex, which natually thinks this means the files have actually been modified (since THAT'S WHAT A MTIME IS FOR, BILL <sheesh>). Work around this stupidity, by using the inode sentinal file to detect if the timezone has changed, and calculate a TSDelta, which will be applied when generating InodeCaches. This should add no overhead at all on unix. Indeed, I sped up a few things slightly in the refactoring. Seems to basically work! But it has a big known problem: If the timezone changes while the assistant (or a long-running command) runs, it won't notice, since it only checks the inode cache once, and so will use the old delta for all new inode caches it generates for new files it's added. Which will result in them seeming changed the next time it runs. This commit was sponsored by Vincent Demeester.

* pre-commit-annex hook script to automatically extract metadata from lots of ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2014-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | types of files Using the extract(1) program to do the heavy lifting. Decided to make git-annex run pre-commit-annex when committing. Since git-annex pre-commit also runs it, it'll be run when git commit is run too, via the pre-commit hook. This basically gives back the pre-commit hook that git-annex took away. The implementation avoids repeatedly looking for the hook script when the assistant is running and committing repeatedly; only checks if the hook is available once. To make the script simpler, made git-annex metadata -s field?=value only set a field when it's not already got a value. This commit was sponsored by bak.

* global numcopies settingGravatar Joey Hess2014-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all clones of a repository. * The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies git configs will be ignored. * assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies. This global numcopies setting is needed to let preferred content expressions operate on numcopies. It's also convenient, because typically if you want git-annex to preserve N copies of files in a repo, you want it to do that no matter which repo it's running in. Making it global avoids needing to warn the user about gotchas involving inconsistent annex.numcopies settings. (See changes to doc/numcopies.mdwn.) Added a new variety of git-annex branch log file, that holds only 1 value. Will probably be useful for other stuff later. This commit was sponsored by Nicolas Pouillard.
* fix inversion of control in CommandSeek (no behavior changes)Gravatar Joey Hess2014-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've been disliking how the command seek actions were written for some time, with their inversion of control and ugly workarounds. The last straw to fix it was sync --content, which didn't fit the Annex [CommandStart] interface well at all. I have not yet made it take advantage of the changed interface though. The crucial change, and probably why I didn't do it this way from the beginning, is to make each CommandStart action be run with exceptions caught, and if it fails, increment a failure counter in annex state. So I finally remove the very first code I wrote for git-annex, which was before I had exception handling in the Annex monad, and so ran outside that monad, passing state explicitly as it ran each CommandStart action. This was a real slog from 1 to 5 am. Test suite passes. Memory usage is lower than before, sometimes by a couple of megabytes, and remains constant, even when running in a large repo, and even when repeatedly failing and incrementing the error counter. So no accidental laziness space leaks. Wall clock speed is identical, even in large repos. This commit was sponsored by an anonymous bitcoiner.

| | | | | | | | | | | Direct mode repositories can now have core.bare=true set, to prevent accidentally running git commands that try to operate on the work tree, and so do the wrong thing. This is not yet the default, and it causes known problems for git-annex sync due to receive.denyCurrentBranch not working in bare repositories. This commit was sponsored by Richard Hartmann.

* gitignore support for the assistant and watcherGravatar Joey Hess2013-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Requires git 1.8.4 or newer. When it's installed, a background git check-ignore process is run, and used to efficiently check ignores whenever a new file is added. Thanks to Adam Spiers, for getting the necessary support into git for this. A complication is what to do about files that are gitignored but have been checked into git anyway. git commands assume the ignore has been overridden in this case, and not need any more overriding to commit a changed version. However, for the assistant to do the same, it would have to run git ls-files to check if the ignored file is in git. This is somewhat expensive. Or it could use the running git-cat-file process to query the file that way, but that requires transferring the whole file content over a pipe, so it can be quite expensive too, for files that are not git-annex symlinks. Now imagine if the user knows that a file or directory tree will be getting frequent changes, and doesn't want the assistant to sync it, so gitignores it. The assistant could overload the system with repeated ls-files checks! So, I've decided that the assistant will not automatically commit changes to files that are gitignored. This is a tradeoff. Hopefully it won't be a problem to adjust .gitignore settings to not ignore files you want the assistant to autocommit, or to manually git annex add files that are listed in .gitignore. (This could be revisited if git-annex gets access to an interface to check the content of the index w/o forking a git command. This could be libgit2, or perhaps a separate git cat-file --batch-check process, so it wouldn't need to ship over the whole file content.) This commit was sponsored by Francois Marier. Thanks!

* Switch to MonadCatchIO-transformers for better handling of state while ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2013-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | catching exceptions. As seen in this bug report, the lifted exception handling using the StateT monad throws away state changes when an action throws an exception. http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/git_annex_fork_bombs_on_gpg_file/ .. Which can result in cached values being redundantly calculated, or other possibly worse bugs when the annex state gets out of sync with reality. This switches from a StateT AnnexState to a ReaderT (MVar AnnexState). All changes to the state go via the MVar. So when an Annex action is running inside an exception handler, and it makes some changes, they immediately go into affect in the MVar. If it then throws an exception (or even crashes its thread!), the state changes are still in effect. The MonadCatchIO-transformers change is actually only incidental. I could have kept on using lifted-base for the exception handling. However, I'd have needed to write a new instance of MonadBaseControl for the new monad.. and I didn't write the old instance.. I begged Bas and he kindly sent it to me. Happily, MonadCatchIO-transformers is able to derive a MonadCatchIO instance for my monad. This is a deep level change. It passes the test suite! What could it break? Well.. The most likely breakage would be to code that runs an Annex action in an exception handler, and *wants* state changes to be thrown away. Perhaps the state changes leaves the state inconsistent, or wrong. Since there are relatively few places in git-annex that catch exceptions in the Annex monad, and the AnnexState is generally just used to cache calculated data, this is unlikely to be a problem. Oh yeah, this change also makes Assistant.Types.ThreadedMonad a bit redundant. It's now entirely possible to run concurrent Annex actions in different threads, all sharing access to the same state! The ThreadedMonad just adds some extra work on top of that, with its own MVar, and avoids such actions possibly stepping on one-another's toes. I have not gotten rid of it, but might try that later. Being able to run concurrent Annex actions would simplify parts of the Assistant code.

* Use lower case hash directories for storing files on crippled filesystems, ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2013-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | same as is already done for bare repositories. * since this is a crippled filesystem anyway, git-annex doesn't use symlinks on it * so there's no reason to use the mixed case hash directories that we're stuck using to avoid breaking everyone's symlinks to the content * so we can do what is already done for all bare repos, and make non-bare repos on crippled filesystems use the all-lower case hash directories * which are, happily, all 3 letters long, so they cannot conflict with mixed case hash directories * so I was able to 100% fix this and even resuming `git annex add` in the test case will recover and it will all just work.
