* info: Improve cleanup of stale transfer info files.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In my git-annex repos, I found some stale transfer info files without lock files. Pass a mode to tryLockExclusive, so it will create the lock file if not present, and so not fail to clean up such transfer info files. Normally, transfer info files are accompanied by a lock file. But, when alwaysRunTransfer is used, the locking can fail and it will still write the transfer info file. Perhaps there are other cases too? Note that mkProgressUpdater's meter writes to the transfer info file too, and it might be possible for that meter to fire after runTransfer has cleaned up. This commit was sponsored by andrea rota.
* fix process and FD leakGravatar Joey Hess2017-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix process and file descriptor leak that was exposed when git-annex was built with ghc 8.2.1. Apparently ghc has changed its behavior of GC of open file handles that are pipes to running processes. That broke git-annex test on OSX due to running out of FDs. Audited for all uses of Annex.new and made stopCoProcesses be called once it's done with the state. Fixed several places that might have leaked in other situations than running the test suite. This commit was sponsored by Ewen McNeill.
* copy, move: Behave same with --fast when sending to remotes located on a ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2017-09-29
| | | | | | local disk as when sending to other remotes. Let --fast override use of hasKey even when hasKeyCheap.
* test: Fix reversion that made it only run inside a git repository.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-09-29
| | | | | | | | Using annexeval to run probeCrippledFileSystem' caused Git.CurrentRepo.get to be run. Fixed easily since probeCrippledFileSystem' had no need to use the Annex monad. This commit was sponsored by Ethan Aubin.
* external crash fixesGravatar Joey Hess2017-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | When the external special remote program crashed, a newline could be output, which messed up the expected output for --batch mode. Avoid checking EXPORTSUPPORTED for special remotes that are not configured to use exports. The datalad special remote apparently is/was buggy and crashed on EXPORTSUPPORTED. Anyway, there's no need to send it when the configuration doesn't need it. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* sync: Added --cleanup, which removes local and remote synced/ branches.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-09-28
| | | | | | | Also deletes any tagged pushes that the assistant might have done, since those would also prevent resetting a branch back. This commit was sponsored by andrea rota.
* Warn when metadata is inherited from a previous version of a fileGravatar Joey Hess2017-09-28

* metadata: Added --remove-all.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-09-28
| | | | | | | Motivation is to remove all metadata when it gets copied from a previous version of the file, and that is not deisrable. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.

* add exporter thread to assistantGravatar Joey Hess2017-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is similar to the pusher thread, but a separate thread because git pushes can be done in parallel with exports, and updating a big export should not prevent other git pushes going out in the meantime. The exportThread only runs at most every 30 seconds, since updating an export is more expensive than pushing. This may need to be tuned. Added a separate channel for export commits; the committer records a commit in that channel. Also, reconnectRemotes records a dummy commit, to make the exporter thread wake up and make sure all exports are up-to-date. So, connecting a drive with a directory special remote export will immediately update it, and getting online will automatically update S3 and WebDAV exports. The transfer queue is not involved in exports. Instead, failed exports are retried much like failed pushes. This commit was sponsored by Ewen McNeill.
* webdav: Changed path used on webdav server for temporary files.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-09-15
| | | | | | | | | Done to avoid a "tmp" directory appearing in webdav exports. Also affects non-export webdav remotes, so interrupted uploads using the old path will not overwrite it. However, PUT is quite likely to be implemented atomically on web servers anyway, so I doubt this will cause problems.
* webdav: Fix lack of url-escaping of filenames.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | inDAVLocation does not url-escape, and so exporting a filename with spaces to box.com at least resulted in a error 400. It might also have affected storing keys on a webdav remote, if the key contained a space or other problem character. Pretty unlikely. I emailed Clint about the inDAVLocation gotcha, but seems best to fix it here. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* deal with box.com horrible infinite redirect behaviorGravatar Joey Hess2017-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | webdav: Checking if a non-existent file is present on Box.com triggered a bug in its webdav support that generates an infinite series of redirects. It seems to redirect foo to foo/ to foo/index.php to foo/index.php/index.php ... Why a webdav endpoint would behave this way who knows. Deal with such problems by assuming such behavior means the file is not present. Can't simply disable following redirects, because the webdav endpoint could legitimately be redirected to a new endpoint. So, when this happens 10 redirects have to be followed, before it gives up and assumes this means the file does not exist. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* export to webdavGravatar Joey Hess2017-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | This basically works, but there's a bug when renaming a file that leaves a .git-annex-temp-content-key file in the webdav store, that never gets cleaned up. Also, exporting files with spaces to box.com seems to fail; perhaps it does not support it? This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* stop warning about removals from IAGravatar Joey Hess2017-09-12
| | | | | | | In a test, I uploaded a pdf, and several files were derived from it. After removing the pdf, the derived files went away after approximatly half an hour. This window does not seem worth warning about every time. Documented it in the tip.
* S3: Allow removing files from IA, but warn about derived versions ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2017-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | potentially still existing there. Removal works, only derives are a potential issue, so allow removing with a warning. This way, unexporting a file works, and behavior is consistent with IA remotes whether or not exporttree=yes. Also tested exporting filenames containing unicode, spaces, underscores. All worked, despite the IA's faq saying it doesn't. This commit was sponsored by Trenton Cronholm on Patreon.
* S3 export (untested)Gravatar Joey Hess2017-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | It opens a http connection per file exported, but then so does git annex copy --to s3. Decided not to munge exported filenames for IA. Too large a chance of the munging having confusing results. Instead, export of files not supported by IA, eg with spaces in their name, will fail.

* 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.

* Prevent spaces from being embedded in the name of new WORM keys, as that ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2017-08-17
| | | | handing spaces in keys would complicate things like the external special remote protocol.
* 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.

* 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.
