* git-annex.cabal: Deal with breaking changes in Cabal 2.0Gravatar Joey Hess2017-08-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4655 This means that when a module is conditionally imported via ifdef depending on the OS or build flags, the cabal file has to mirror the same logic there to only list the module then. Since there are lots of OS's and lots of combinations of build flags here, it's rather difficult to know if the cabal file has been completelty correctly updated to match the source code. So I am very unhappy with needing to update things in two places. I've only tested this on linux with most build flags enables; this will probably need significant time and testing to catch every cabal file tweak that this change to Cabal requires. And it will be a continual source of compile failures going forward when the code is modified and the cabal file not also updated. DRY DRY DRY, I repeat myself, but: DRY! Sigh.. (Also, had to remove all Build.* that are standalone programs from the Other-Modules list, because since cabal passes those modules to ghc when building git-annex, it complains that they use module Main. Those modules are only used when building with the Makefile anyway, so this change shouldn't break anything.) This commit was sponsored by Thomas Hochstein on Patreon.
* avoid the dashed ssh hostname class of security holesGravatar Joey Hess2017-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Security fix: Disallow hostname starting with a dash, which would get passed to ssh and be treated an option. This could be used by an attacker who provides a crafted ssh url (for eg a git remote) to execute arbitrary code via ssh -oProxyCommand. No CVE has yet been assigned for this hole. The same class of security hole recently affected git itself, CVE-2017-1000117. Method: Identified all places where ssh is run, by git grep '"ssh"' Converted them all to use a SshHost, if they did not already, for specifying the hostname. SshHost was made a data type with a smart constructor, which rejects hostnames starting with '-'. Note that git-annex already contains extensive use of Utility.SafeCommand, which fixes a similar class of problem where a filename starting with a dash gets passed to a program which treats it as an option.

* fix external script for filenames with spaces from protocolGravatar Joey Hess2017-08-17
| | | | | | | | Fix the external special remotes git-annex-remote-ipfs, git-annex-remote-torrent and the example.sh template to correctly support filenames with spaces. This commit was sponsored by John Peloquin on Patreon.
* external: nice error message for keys with spaces in their nameGravatar Joey Hess2017-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | External special remotes will refuse to operate on keys with spaces in their names. That has never worked correctly due to the design of the external special remote protocol. Display an error message suggesting migration. Not super happy with this, but it's a pragmatic solution. Better than complicating the external special remote interface and all external special remotes. Note that I only made it use SafeKey in Request, not Response. git-annex does not construct a Response, so that would not add any safety. And presumably, if git-annex avoids feeding any such keys to an external special remote, it will never have a reason to make a Response using such a key. If it did, it would result in a protocol error anyway. There's still a Serializeable instance for Key; it's used by P2P.Protocol. There, the Key is always in the final position, so it's ok if it contains spaces. Note that the protocol documentation has been fixed to say that the File may contain spaces. One way that can happen, even though the Key can't, is when using direct mode, and the work tree filename contains spaces. When sending such a file to the external special remote the worktree filename is used. This commit was sponsored by Thom May on Patreon.

* add annex-ignore-command and annex-sync-command configsGravatar Joey Hess2017-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added remote configuration settings annex-ignore-command and annex-sync-command, which are dynamic equivilants of the annex-ignore and annex-sync configurations. For this I needed a new DynamicConfig infrastructure. Its implementation should be as fast as before when there is no dynamic config, and it caches so shell commands are only run once. Note that annex-ignore-command exits nonzero when the remote should be ignored. While that may seem backwards, it allows using the same command for it as for annex-sync-command when you want to disable both. This commit was sponsored by Trenton Cronholm on Patreon.

* test: Avoid most situations involving failure to delete test directoriesGravatar Joey Hess2017-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By forking a worker process and only deleting the test directory once it exits. This way, if a test leaves files open, they'll get closed when the worker exits, so avoiding failure to delete open files on Windows, and failure to delete directories due to NFS lock files. If a test leaves a git worker process running, the closed pipes should cause the worker to exit too, also avoiding the problem there. The 10 second sleep ought to give plenty of time for such worker processes to exit, although this is of course a race. Finally, even if test directory fails to be deleted still, it won't appear as if the last test in the test suite failed; the error will be displayed at the very end. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* Fix a git-annex test failure when run on NFS due to NFS lock files ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2017-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | preventing directory removal.

* Added GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK environment variableGravatar Joey Hess2017-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Can be used to override the default timestamps used in log files in the git-annex branch. This is a dangerous environment variable; use with caution. Note that this only affects writing to the logs on the git-annex branch. It is not used for metadata in git commits (other env vars can be set for that). There are many other places where timestamps are still used, that don't get committed to git, but do touch disk. Including regular timestamps of files, and timestamps embedded in some files in .git/annex/, including the last fsck timestamp and timestamps in transfer log files. A good way to find such things in git-annex is to get for getPOSIXTime and getCurrentTime, although some of the results are of course false positives that never hit disk (unless git-annex gets swapped out..) So this commit does NOT necessarily make git-annex comply with some HIPPA privacy regulations; it's up to the user to determine if they can use it in a way compliant with such regulations. Benchmarking: It takes 0.00114 milliseconds to call getEnv "GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK" when that env var is not set. So, 100 thousand log files can be written with an added overhead of only 0.114 seconds. That should be by far swamped by the actual overhead of writing the log files and making the commit containing them. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* fsck: Support --json.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-06-26
| | | | | | | One use case is to get a list of files that fsck fails on, in order to eg, drop them from a remote. This commit was sponsored by Nick Daly on Patreon.
* Fix build with QuickCheck 2.10.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-06-17
| | | | | | | | QuickCheck added an Arbitrary instance for CTime aka EpochTime. However, while git-annex's instance disallowed times before the epoch, QuickCheck's does not. So, rather than using its instance, convert from an Integer. This commit was sponsored by Thomas Hochstein on Patreon.

* disable closingTracked on OSXGravatar Joey Hess2017-06-09
| | | | | | | | Don't trust OSX FSEvents's eventFlagItemModified to be called when the last writer of a file closes it; apparently that sometimes does not happen, which prevented files from being quickly added. This commit was sponsored by John Peloquin on Patreon.
* zsh and fish completionsGravatar Joey Hess2017-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | optparse-applicative-0.14.0.0 adds support for these, so have the Makefile install their scripts when built with it. CmdLine/GitAnnex/Options.hs now uses action "file" in cmdParams, which affects the bash and zsh completions, letting them complete filenames for subcommands that use that. This is not needed for bash, since bash-completion.bash enables -o bashdefault, which lets it complete filenames too. But it does not seem to break the bash completions. It is needed for zsh; the zsh completion otherwise does not complete filenames. The fish completion will always complete filenames no matter what. Messy.

* assistant: Merge changes from refs/remotes/foo/master into master.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, only sync branches were merged. This makes regular git push into a repository watched by the assistant auto-merge. While this does hardcode an assumption about what the remote tracking branch is named, which some unusual git configurations won't match, git-annex sync already made the same assumption. Also, changed behavior when a tracking branch like refs/remotes/synced/not/master is received. When on the master branch, that used to get merged into it, but it's the tracking branch for not/master, so should only be merged in when on the not/master branch. This commit was sponsored by Ewen McNeill.

* configuration to disable automatic merge conflict resolutionGravatar Joey Hess2017-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Added annex.resolvemerge configuration, which can be set to false to disable the usual automatic merge conflict resolution done by git-annex sync and the assistant. * sync: Added --no-resolvemerge option. Note that disabling merge conflict resolution is probably not a good idea in a direct mode repo or adjusted branch. Since updates to both are done outside the usual work tree, if it fails the tree is not left in a conflicted state, and it would be hard to manually resolve the conflict. Still, made annex.resolvemerge be supported in those cases for consistency. This commit was sponsored by Riku Voipio.
* error when metadata set is used with file that does not existGravatar Joey Hess2017-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | When setting metadata of a file that did not exist, no error message was displayed, unlike getting metadata and most other git-annex commands. Fixed this oversight. Note that, if the file exists but is not annexed, there's no error. This is the same behavior as other git-annex commands. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* move --to=hereGravatar Joey Hess2017-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * move --to=here moves from all reachable remotes to the local repository. The output of move --from remote is changed slightly, when the remote and local both have the content. It used to say: move foo ok Now: move foo (from theremote...) ok That was done so that, when move --to=here is used and the content is locally present and also in several remotes, it's clear which remotes the content gets dropped from. Note that move --to=here will report an error if a non-reachable remote contains the file, even if the local repository also contains the file. I think that's reasonable; the user may be intending to move all other copies of the file from remotes. OTOH, if a copy of the file is believed to be present in some repository that is not a configured remote, move --to=here does not report an error. So a little bit inconsistent, but erroring in this case feels wrong. copy --to=here came along for free, but it's basically the same behavior as git-annex get, and probably with not as good messages in edge cases (especially on failure), so I've not documented it.

* Avoid concurrent git-config setting problem when running concurrent threads.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | See my comment. This only avoids the problem for -J; two git-annex processes started at the same time could still both try to write to .git/config and one fail. That would be very unlikely though, and it doesn't really seem worth adding an additional layer of locking around .git/config. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* Fix transfer log file locking problem when running concurrent transfers.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | orElse is great, but was not the right thing to use here because waitTakeLock could retry for other reasons than the lock being held, which made tryTakeLock fail when it shouldn't. Instead, move the code to tryTakeLock and implement waitTakeLock using tryTakeLock and retry. (Also, in runTransfer, when checkSaneLock fails, dropLock to avoid leaking a lock handle.)

* clear regions before ssh promptGravatar Joey Hess2017-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | | When built with concurrent-output 1.9, ssh password prompts will no longer interfere with the -J display. To avoid flicker, only done when ssh actually does need to prompt; ssh is first run in batch mode and if that succeeds the connection is up and no need to clear regions. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.

* adeiu, MissingHGravatar Joey Hess2017-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removed dependency on MissingH, instead depending on the split library. After laying groundwork for this since 2015, it was mostly straightforward. Added Utility.Tuple and Utility.Split. Eyeballed System.Path.WildMatch while implementing the same thing. Since MissingH's progress meter display was being used, I re-implemented my own. Bonus: Now progress is displayed for transfers of files of unknown size. This commit was sponsored by Shane-o on Patreon.
* Ssh password prompting improved when using -JGravatar Joey Hess2017-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When ssh connection caching is enabled (and when GIT_ANNEX_USE_GIT_SSH is not set), only one ssh password prompt will be made per host, and only one ssh password prompt will be made at a time. This also fixes a race in prepSocket's stale ssh connection stopping when run with -J. It was possible for one thread to start a cached ssh connection, and another thread to immediately stop it, resulting in excess connections being made. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.

* Keys marked as dead are now skipped by --all.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fsck already special-cased dead keys to make --all not report errors with them, and it makes sense to also expand that to whereis. I think it makes sense for dead keys to be skipped by all uses of --all, so mistakes can be completely forgotten about and not come back to haunt us. The speed impact of testing if the key is dead is negligible for fsck and whereis, since they use the location log anyway and it gets cached. This does slow down a few commands that support --all, in particular metadata --all runs around 2x as slow. I don't think metadata --all is often used though. It might slow down copy/move/mirror --all and get --all. log --all is not affected (does not use the normal --all machinery). Dead keys will still be processed by --incomplete, --branch, --failed, and --key. Although it would be unlikely for a dead key to ave in incomplete or failed transfer. It seems to make perfect sense for --branch to process keys on the branch, even if dead. (fsck's special-casing of dead keys was left in, so if one of these options causes a dead key to be fscked, there will be a nice message.) This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.

* git annex add -u now supported, analagous to git add -uGravatar Joey Hess2017-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike git add -u, git annex add -u does not update the index for files removed from the working tree. But then, "git add ." stages removals, and "git annex add ." does not, so that's an existing divergence. Seems that --update --batch would need to run git ls-files once per line of batch input, which would surely be too slow, so just throw an error for that. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* gcrypt: Support re-enabling to change eg, encryption parameters.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-04-07
| | | | | | | | This was never supported before. And it doesn't re-encrypt the gcrypt repo to the new gcrypt-participants, but it does at least now not crash, and set gcrypt-participants. This commit was sponsored by andrea rota.

* Disable git-annex's support for GIT_SSH and GIT_SSH_COMMAND, unless ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2017-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GIT_ANNEX_USE_GIT_SSH=1 is also set in the environment. This is necessary because as feared, the extra -n parameter that git-annex passes breaks uses of these environment variables that expect exactly the parameters that git passes. For example, see https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/1456 It would of course be possible to pre-close stdin before running ssh so not needing the -n, and I think that would not even break ssh's password caching. But it would probably involve a lot of work, possibly would need to deal with some layering violations, and would be error-prone. The really clean fix would be to make all the ssh stuff return a CreateProcess, which could have the handle closed when appropriate, but that would be a large reworing of the code base. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* Added remote.<name>.annex-push and remote.<name>.annex-pullGravatar Joey Hess2017-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The former can be useful to make remotes that don't get fully synced with local changes, which comes up in a lot of situations. The latter was mostly added for symmetry, but could be useful (though less likely to be). Implementing `remote.<name>.annex-pull` was a bit tricky, as there's no one place where git-annex pulls/fetches from remotes. I audited all instances of "fetch" and "pull". A few cases were left not checking this config: * Git.Repair can try to pull missing refs from a remote, and if the local repo is corrupted, that seems a reasonable thing to do even though the config would normally prevent it. * Assistant.WebApp.Gpg and Remote.Gcrypt and Remote.Git do fetches as part of the setup process of a remote. The config would probably not be set then, and having the setup fail seems worse than honoring it if it is already set. I have not prevented all the code that does a "merge" from merging branches from remotes with remote.<name>.annex-pull=false. That could perhaps be done, but it would need a way to map from branch name to remote name, and the way refspecs work makes that hard to get really correct. So if the user fetches manually, the git-annex branch will get merged, for example. Anther way of looking at/justifying this is that the setting is called "annex-pull", not "annex-merge".
