* restart coprocess in raw modeGravatar Joey Hess2016-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Restarting a crashing git process could result in filename encoding issues when not in a unicode locale, as the restarted processes's handles were not read in raw mode. Since rawMode is always used when starting a coprocess, didn't bother to parameterise it and just always enable it for simplicity. This commit was sponsored by Jake Vosloo on Patreon.

* annex.largefiles can be configured in .gitattributes tooGravatar Joey Hess2016-02-02
| | | | | This is particulary useful for v6 repositories, since the .gitattributes configuration will apply in all clones of the repository.
* remove Params constructor from Utility.SafeCommandGravatar Joey Hess2015-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes a bit of complexity, and should make things faster (avoids tokenizing Params string), and probably involve less garbage collection. In a few places, it was useful to use Params to avoid needing a list, but that is easily avoided. Problems noticed while doing this conversion: * Some uses of Params "oneword" which was entirely unnecessary overhead. * A few places that built up a list of parameters with ++ and then used Params to split it! Test suite passes.

* 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.
* Check git version at runtime, rather than assuming it will be the same as ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2015-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the git version used at build time when running git-checkattr and git-branch remove. It's ok to probe every time for git-branch remove because that's run quite rarely. For git-checkattr, it's run only once, when starting the --batch mode, and so again the overhead is pretty minimal. This leaves 2 places where the build version is still used. git merge might be interactive or fail if one skews, and --no-gpg-sign might not be pased, or might be passed to a git that doesn't understand it if the other skews. It seems a little expensive to check the git version each time these are used. This doesn't seem likely to cause many problems, at least compared with check-attr hanging on skew.

* Deal with git check-attr -z output format change in git 1.8.5.Gravatar Joey Hess2013-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | I have not actually tested with 1.8.5, which is not yet relesaed, but git.git commit f7cd8c50b9ab83e084e8f52653ecc8d90665eef2 changes -z to also apply to output, without regards to back-compat. (But with pretty good reasons.) New code should work with both versions, by fingerprinting for NULs and newlines.

* Can now restart certain long-running git processes if they crash, and ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2013-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | continue working. Fuzz tests have shown that git cat-file --batch sometimes stops running. It's not yet known why (no error message; repo seems ok). But this is something we can deal with in the CoProcess framework, since all 3 types of long-running git processes should be restartable if they fail. Note that, as implemented, only IO errors are caught. So an error thrown by the reveiver, when it sees something that is not valid output from git cat-file (etc) will not cause a restart. I don't want it to retry if git commands change their output or are just outputting garbage. This does mean that if the command did a partial output and crashed in the middle, it would still not be restarted. There is currently no guard against restarting a command repeatedly, if, for example, it crashes repeatedly on startup.

* rework git check-attr interfaceGravatar Joey Hess2012-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now gitattributes are looked up, efficiently, in only the places that really need them, using the same approach used for cat-file. The old CheckAttr code seemed very fragile, in the way it streamed files through git check-attr. I actually found that cad8824852aa0623dc41eac02a9e2bae47d88ec4 was still deadlocking with ghc 7.4, at the end of adding a lot of files. This should fix that problem, and avoid future ones. The best part is that this removes withAttrFilesInGit and withNumCopies, which were complicated Seek methods, as well as simplfying the types for several other Seek methods that had a Backend tupled in.

* support all filename encodings with ghc 7.4Gravatar Joey Hess2012-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Under ghc 7.4, this seems to be able to handle all filename encodings again. Including filename encodings that do not match the LANG setting. I think this will not work with earlier versions of ghc, it uses some ghc internals. Turns out that ghc 7.4 has a special filesystem encoding that it uses when reading/writing filenames (as FilePaths). This encoding is documented to allow "arbitrary undecodable bytes to be round-tripped through it". So, to get FilePaths from eg, git ls-files, set the Handle that is reading from git to use this encoding. Then things basically just work. However, I have not found a way to make Text read using this encoding. Text really does assume unicode. So I had to switch back to using String when reading/writing data to git. Which is a pity, because it's some percent slower, but at least it works. Note that stdout and stderr also have to be set to this encoding, or printing out filenames that contain undecodable bytes causes a crash. IMHO this is a misfeature in ghc, that the user can pass you a filename, which you can readFile, etc, but that default, putStr of filename may cause a crash! Git.CheckAttr gave me special trouble, because the filenames I got back from git, after feeding them in, had further encoding breakage. Rather than try to deal with that, I just zip up the input filenames with the attributes. Which must be returned in the same order queried for this to work. Also of note is an apparent GHC bug I worked around in Git.CheckAttr. It used to forkProcess and feed git from the child process. Unfortunatly, after this forkProcess, accessing the `files` variable from the parent returns []. Not the value that was passed into the function. This screams of a bad bug, that's clobbering a variable, but for now I just avoid forkProcess there to work around it. That forkProcess was itself only added because of a ghc bug, #624389. I've confirmed that the test case for that bug doesn't reproduce it with ghc 7.4. So that's ok, except for the new ghc bug I have not isolated and reported. Why does this simple bit of code magnet the ghc bugs? :) Also, the symlink touching code is currently broken, when used on utf-8 filenames in a non-utf-8 locale, or probably on any filename containing undecodable bytes, and I temporarily commented it out.
