| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * init: When annex.securehashesonly has been set with git-annex config, copy that value to the annex.securehashesonly git config. * config --set: As well as setting value in git-annex branch, set local gitconfig. This is needed especially for annex.securehashesonly, which is read only from local gitconfig and not the git-annex branch. doc/todo/sha1_collision_embedding_in_git-annex_keys.mdwn has the rationalle for doing it this way. There's no perfect solution; this seems to be the least-bad one. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.

* annex.securehashesonlyGravatar Joey Hess2017-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cryptographically secure hashes can be forced to be used in a repository, by setting annex.securehashesonly. This does not prevent the git repository from containing files with insecure hashes, but it does prevent the content of such files from being pulled into .git/annex/objects from another repository. We want to make sure that at no point does git-annex accept content into .git/annex/objects that is hashed with an insecure key. Here's how it was done: * .git/annex/objects/xx/yy/KEY/ is kept frozen, so nothing can be written to it normally * So every place that writes content must call, thawContent or modifyContent. We can audit for these, and be sure we've considered all cases. * The main functions are moveAnnex, and linkToAnnex; these were made to check annex.securehashesonly, and are the main security boundary for annex.securehashesonly. * Most other calls to modifyContent deal with other files in the KEY directory (inode cache etc). The other ones that mess with the content are: - Annex.Direct.toDirectGen, in which content already in the annex directory is moved to the direct mode file, so not relevant. - fix and lock, which don't add new content - Command.ReKey.linkKey, which manually unlocks it to make a copy. * All other calls to thawContent appear safe. Made moveAnnex return a Bool, so checked all callsites and made them deal with a failure in appropriate ways. linkToAnnex simply returns LinkAnnexFailed; all callsites already deal with it failing in appropriate ways.

* Removed support for building with the old cryptohash library.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-02-24
| | | | | Building with that library made git-annex not support SHA3; it's time for that to always be supported in case SHA2 dominoes.
* SHA1 collisions in key names was more exploitable than I thoughtGravatar Joey Hess2017-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | Yesterday's SHA1 collision attack could be used to generate eg: SHA256-sfoo--whatever.good SHA256-sfoo--whatever.bad Such that they collide. A repository with the good one could have the bad one swapped in and signed commits would still verify. I've already mitigated this.

* make file2key reject E* backend keys with a long extensionGravatar Joey Hess2017-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I am not happy that I had to put backend-specific code in file2key. But it would be very difficult to avoid this layering violation. Most of the time, when parsing a Key from a symlink target, git-annex never looks up its Backend at all, so adding this check to a method of the Backend object would not work. The Key could be made to contain the appropriate Backend, but since Backend is parameterized on an "a" that is fixed to the Annex monad later, that would need Key to change to "Key a". The only way to clean this up that I can see would be to have the Key contain a LowlevelBackend, and put the validation in LowlevelBackend. Perhaps later, but that would be an extensive change, so let's not do it in this commit which may want to cherry-pick to backports. This commit was sponsored by Ethan Aubin.

* status: Pass --ignore-submodules=when option on to git status.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-02-20
| | | | | | | Didn't make --ignore-submodules without a value be handled because I can't see a way to make optparse-applicative parse that. I've opened a bug requesting a way to do that: https://github.com/pcapriotti/optparse-applicative/issues/243
* make curl show http errors to stderrGravatar Joey Hess2017-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | * Run curl with -S, so HTTP errors are displayed, even when it's otherwise silent. * When downloading in --json or --quiet mode, use curl in preference to wget, since curl is able to display only errors to stderr, unlike wget. This does mean that downloadQuiet is only silent on stdout, not necessarily on stderr, which affects a couple other calls of it. For example, downloading the .git/config of a http remote may show an error message now, perhaps with slightly suboptimal formatting due to other output.
* Run wget with -nv instead of -q, so it will display HTTP errors.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-02-20
| | | | | | This adds one extra line of output when a download is successful, after the progress bar. I don't much like that, but wget does not provide a way to show HTTP errors without it.

* sync hack to make updateInstead work on eg FATGravatar Joey Hess2017-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | sync: When syncing with a local repository located on a crippled filesystem, run the post-receive hook there, since it wouldn't get run otherwise. This makes pushing to repos on FAT-formatted removable drives update them when receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead. Made Remote.Git export onLocal, which was cleaned up to not have so many caveats about its use. This commit was sponsored by Jeff Goeke-Smith on Patreon.

* sync: Improve integration with receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInsteadGravatar Joey Hess2017-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | By displaying error messages from the remote then it fails to update its checked out branch. Error messages in the default receive.denyCurrentBranch are still suppressed, which matches user expectations. This commit was sponsored by Nick Daly on Patreon.
* Run ssh with -n whenever input is not being piped into itGravatar Joey Hess2017-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ... to avoid it consuming stdin that it shouldn't. This fixes git-annex-checkpresentkey --batch remote, which didn't output results for all keys passed into it. Other git-annex commands that communicate with a remote over ssh may also have been consuming stdin that they shouldn't have, which could have impacted using them in eg, shell scripts. For example, a shell script reading files from stdin and passing them to git annex drop would be impacted by this bug, whenever git annex drop ran git-annex-shell checkpresent, it would consume part/all of the stdin that the shell script was supposed to consume. Fixed by adding a ConsumeStdin parameter to Annex.Ssh.sshOptions, which is used throughout git-annex to run ssh (in order for ssh connection caching to work). Every call site was checked to see if it used CreatePipe for stdin, and if not was marked NoConsumeStdin.
* sync, merge: Fail when the current branch has no commits yet, instead of not ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2017-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | merging in anything from remotes and appearing to succeed. At first I wanted to make it go ahead and merge into the newborn branch, so made it use Git.Branch.currentUnsafe to get the current branch. But that failed: fatal: ambiguous argument 'refs/heads/master..refs/heads/synced/master': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. A whole nother code path to handle merging into newborn branches seemed excessive, so went with displaying a warning and propigating failure status.

| | | | | | | | | Refactored some common code into initDb. This only deals with the problem when creating new databases. If a repo got bad permissions into it, it's up to the user to deal with it. This commit was sponsored by Ole-Morten Duesund on Patreon.
* S3: Fix check of uuid file stored in bucket, which was not working.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The check was broken in two ways.. First, nowhere did it error out when checkUUIDFile found a different UUID already in the file. Instead, it overwrote the uuid file. And, checkUUIDFile's implementation was for some reason always failing with a ConnectionClosed exception. Apparently something to do with using two different runResourceT's and a response getting GCed inbetween. I'm pretty sure that used to work, but changed to a more obviously correct implementation.

* Improve pid locking code to work on filesystems that don't support hard links.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | Probing for hard link support in the pid locking code is redundant since git-annex init already probes that. But, it didn't seem worth threading that data through; the pid locking code runs at most once per git-annex process, and only on unusual filesystems. Optimising a single hard link and unlink isn't worth it. This commit was sponsored by Francois Marier on Patreon.
* Added git template directory to Linux standalone tarball and OSX app bundle.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-02-10
| | | | | | | | Git does not provide a switch to find out where this directory is, and while the git-init man page says it will always be in /usr/share/git-core/templates, that's not the case on OSX with git installed from homebrew. So, I used a hack taking the --man-path and constructing a path from that. Works on both Debian and OSX at least.
* import --reinject-duplicatesGravatar Joey Hess2017-02-09
| | | | | | | | | This is the same as running git annex reinject --known, followed by git-annex import. The advantage to having it in one command is that it only has to hash each file once; the two commands have to hash the imported files a second time. This commit was sponsored by Shane-o on Patreon.
* Make import --deduplicate and --skip-duplicates only hash once, not twiceGravatar Joey Hess2017-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | import: --deduplicate and --skip-duplicates were implemented inneficiently; they unncessarily hashed each file twice. They have been improved to only hash once. The new approach is to lock down (minimally) and hash files, and then reuse that information when importing them. This was rather tricky, especially in detecting changes to files while they are being imported. The output of import changed slightly. While before it silently skipped over files with eg --skip-duplicates, now it shows each file as it starts to act on it. Since every file is hashed first thing, it would otherwise not be clear what file import is chewing on. (Actually, it wasn't clear before when any of the duplicates switches were used.) This commit was sponsored by Alexander Thompson on Patreon.
* import: Changed how --deduplicate, --skip-duplicates, and --clean-duplicates ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2017-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | determine if a file is a duplicate Before, only content known to be present somewhere was considered a duplicate. Now, any content that has been annexed before will be considered a duplicate, even if all annexed copies of the data have been lost. Note that --clean-duplicates and --deduplicate still check numcopies, so won't delete duplicate files unless there's an annexed copy. This makes import use the same method as reinject --known. The man page already said that duplicate meant "its content is either present in the local repository already, or git-annex knows of another repository that contains it, or it was present in the annex before but has been removed now". So, this is really only bringing the implementation into line with the man page. This commit was sponsored by Jochen Bartl on Patreon.

* wormhole pairing appid flag day 2021-12-31Gravatar Joey Hess2017-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Wormhole pairing will start to provide an appid to wormhole on 2021-12-31. An appid can't be provided now because Debian stable is going to ship a older version of git-annex that does not provide an appid. Assumption is that by 2021-12-31, this version of git-annex will be shipped in a Debian stable release. If that turns out to not be the case, this change will need to be cherry-picked into the git-annex in Debian stable, or its wormhole pairing will break.

* New annex.synccontent config settingGravatar Joey Hess2017-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | .. which can be set to true to make git annex sync default to --content. This may become the default at some point in the future. As well as being configuable by git config, it can be configured by git-annex config to control the default behavior in all clones of a repository. Had to add a separate --no-content switch to we can tell if it's been explicitly set, and should override annex.synccontent. If --content was the default, this complication would not be necessary.

* annex.autocommit can be configured via git-annex configGravatar Joey Hess2017-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ... to control the default behavior in all clones of a repository. This includes a new Configurable data type, so the GitConfig type indicates which values can be configured this way. The implementation should be quite efficient; the config log is only read once, and only when a Configurable value has not already been set by git-config. Indeed, it would be nice in the future to extend this, so that git-config is itself only read on demand. Some commands may not need to look at the git configuration at all.

* Some optimisations to string splitting code.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Turns out that Data.List.Utils.split is slow and makes a lot of allocations. Here's a much simpler single character splitter that behaves the same (even in wacky corner cases) while running in half the time and 75% the allocations. As well as being an optimisation, this helps move toward eliminating use of missingh. (Data.List.Split.splitOn is nearly as slow as Data.List.Utils.split and allocates even more.) I have not benchmarked the effect on git-annex, but would not be surprised to see some parsing of eg, large streams from git commands run twice as fast, and possibly in less memory.

* lts-7.18 finally!Gravatar Joey Hess2017-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | esqueleto finally got fixed, thanks to @bitemyapp Since XMPP was removed, the previous build failures related to it should no longer be a problem either. Meanwhile, lts-5.18 fails to build anymore on Debian due to linker hardening breaking the version of ghc stack uses with that version. This commit was sponsored by Francois Marier on Patreon.
* config: New command for storing configuration in the git-annex branch.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | Any config names can be set using this; git-annex commands will only look at specific ones that make sense and are worth the overhead of querying the branch. This might also be useful for storing whatever other config-type stuff the user might want to shove into the git-annex branch. This commit was sponsored by Jochen Bartl on Patreon.
* vicfg: Include the numcopies configuation.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-01-30
