* Avoid backtraces on expected failures when built with ghc 8; only use ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2016-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | backtraces for unexpected errors. ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it. Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies, used to use error, so had a backtrace. This commit was sponsored by Ethan Aubin.

* run Preparer to get Remover and CheckPresent actionsGravatar Joey Hess2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will allow special remotes to eg, open a http connection and reuse it, while checking if chunks are present, or removing chunks. S3 and WebDAV both need this to support chunks with reasonable speed. Note that a special remote might want to cache a http connection across multiple requests. A simple case of this is that CheckPresent is typically called before Store or Remove. A remote using this interface can certianly use a Preparer that eg, uses a MVar to cache a http connection. However, it's up to the remote to then deal with things like stale or stalled http connections when eg, doing a series of downloads from a remote and other places. There could be long delays between calls to a remote, which could lead to eg, http connection stalls; the machine might even move to a new network, etc. It might be nice to improve this interface later to allow the simple case without needing to handle the full complex case. One way to do it would be to have a `Transaction SpecialRemote cache`, where SpecialRemote contains methods for Storer, Retriever, Remover, and CheckPresent, that all expect to be passed a `cache`.
* pushed checkPresent exception handling out of Remote implementationsGravatar Joey Hess2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I tend to prefer moving toward explicit exception handling, not away from it, but in this case, I think there are good reasons to let checkPresent throw exceptions: 1. They can all be caught in one place (Remote.hasKey), and we know every possible exception is caught there now, which we didn't before. 2. It simplified the code of the Remotes. I think it makes sense for Remotes to be able to be implemented without needing to worry about catching exceptions inside them. (Mostly.) 3. Types.StoreRetrieve.Preparer can only work on things that return a Bool, which all the other relevant remote methods already did. I do not see a good way to generalize that type; my previous attempts failed miserably.
* factor out more ssh stuff from git remoteGravatar Joey Hess2013-09-24
This has the dual benefits of making Remote.Git shorter, and letting Remote.GCrypt use these utilities.
