REMOVE-BEFORE and GETTIMESTAMP proxying
For clusters, the timestamps have to be translated, since each node can
have its own idea about what time it is. To translate a timestamp, the
proxy remembers what time it asked the node for a timestamp in
GETTIMESTAMP, and applies the delta as an offset in REMOVE-BEFORE.
This does mean that a remove from a cluster has to call GETTIMESTAMP on
every node before dropping from nodes. Not very efficient. Although
currently it tries to drop from every single node anyway, which is also
not very efficient.
I thought about caching the GETTIMESTAMP from the nodes on the first
call. That would improve efficiency. But, since monotonic clocks on
!Linux don't advance when the computer is suspended, consider what might
happen if one node was suspended for a while, then came back. Its
monotonic timestamp would end up behind where the proxying expects it to
be. Would that result in removing when it shouldn't, or refusing to
remove when it should? Have not thought it through. Either way, a
cluster behaving strangly for an extended period of time because one
of its nodes was briefly asleep doesn't seem like good behavior.

toward SafeDropProof expiry checking
Added Maybe POSIXTime to SafeDropProof, which gets set when the proof is
based on a LockedCopy. If there are several LockedCopies, it uses the
closest expiry time. That is not optimal, it may be that the proof
expires based on one LockedCopy but another one has not expired. But
that seems unlikely to really happen, and anyway the user can just
re-run a drop if it fails due to expiry.
Pass the SafeDropProof to removeKey, which is responsible for checking
it for expiry in situations where that could be a problem. Which really
only means in Remote.Git.
Made Remote.Git check expiry when dropping from a local remote.
Checking expiry when dropping from a P2P remote is not yet implemented.
P2P.Protocol.remove has SafeDropProof plumbed through to it for that
purpose.
Fixing the remaining 2 build warnings should complete this work.
Note that the use of a POSIXTime here means that if the clock gets set
forward while git-annex is in the middle of a drop, it may say that
dropping took too long. That seems ok. Less ok is that if the clock gets
turned back a sufficient amount (eg 5 minutes), proof expiry won't be
noticed. It might be better to use the Monotonic clock, but that doesn't
advance when a laptop is suspended, and while there is the linux
Boottime clock, that is not available on other systems. Perhaps a
combination of POSIXTime and the Monotonic clock could detect laptop
suspension and also detect clock being turned back?
There is a potential future flag day where
p2pDefaultLockContentRetentionDuration is not assumed, but is probed
using the P2P protocol, and peers that don't support it can no longer
produce a LockedCopy. Until that happens, when git-annex is
communicating with older peers there is a risk of data loss when
a ssh connection closes during LOCKCONTENT.

add content retention files
This allows lockContentShared to lock content for eg, 10 minutes and
if the process then gets terminated before it can unlock, the content
will remain locked for that amount of time.
The Windows implementation is not yet tested.
In P2P.Annex, a duration of 10 minutes is used. This way, when p2pstdio
or remotedaemon is serving the P2P protocol, and is asked to
LOCKCONTENT, and that process gets killed, the content will not be
subject to deletion. This is not a perfect solution to
doc/todo/P2P_locking_connection_drop_safety.mdwn yet, but it gets most
of the way there, without needing any P2P protocol changes.
This is only done in v10 and higher repositories (or on Windows). It
might be possible to backport it to v8 or earlier, but it would
complicate locking even further, and without a separate lock file, might
be hard. I think that by the time this fix reaches a given user, they
will probably have been running git-annex 10.x long enough that their v8
repositories will have upgraded to v10 after the 1 year wait. And it's
not as if git-annex hasn't already been subject to this problem (though
I have not heard of any data loss caused by it) for 6 years already, so
waiting another fraction of a year on top of however long it takes this
fix to reach users is unlikely to be a problem.

an isPointerFile check in the wrong place. So if the file was not a pointer

The fix is simply to move the isPointerFile check to after safeToAdd locks

the cluster. With fanout, the upload to the cluster will populate the
proxy as well, avoiding a second upload. But only if the file is sent to
the cluster first. If it's sent to the proxy first, there will be two
uploads.
Another, lesser problem is that a repository can proxy for more than one
cluster. So when does it make sense to drop content from the repository?
It could be done when dropping from one cluster, but what of the other
one?
This complication was not necessary anyway. Instead, if it's desirable
to have some content accessed from close to the proxy, one of the
cluster nodes can just be put on the same filesystem as it. That will be
just as fast as storing the content on the proxy.

honor preferred content settings of cluster nodes
Except when no nodes want a file, it has to be stored somewhere, so
store it on all. Which is not really desirable, but neither is having to
pick one.
ProtoAssociatedFile deserialization is rather broken, and this could
possibly affect preferred content expressions that match on filenames.
The inability to roundtrip whitespace like tabs and newlines through is
not a problem because preferred content expressions can't be written
that match on whitespace such as a tab. For example:
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/bench/z>git-annex wanted origin-node2 'exclude=*CTRL-VTab*'
wanted origin-node2
git-annex: Parse error: Parse failure: near "*"
But, the filtering of control characters could perhaps be a problem. I think
that filtering is now obsolete, git-annex has comprehensive filtering of
control characters when displaying filenames, that happens at a higher level.
However, I don't want to risk a security hole so am leaving in that filtering
in ProtoAssociatedFile deserialization for now.

PUT to cluster send to all nodes rather than none
If the location log says all nodes contain content, pass in all nodes,
rather than none.
The location log can be wrong. While it's good to avoid unncessessary
connections to nodes that already contain a key, it would be bad to
refuse to accept an upload at all when the location log is wrong.
Also, passing in no nodes leaves the proxy in an untenable state. It
can't proxy to no nodes. So it closes the connection. Passing in all
nodes means it has to do the work to connect to all of them, and see
that they say they already have the content, and then it can tell the
client that.

don't sync with cluster nodes by default
Avoid `git-annex sync --content` etc from operating on cluster nodes by default
since syncing with a cluster implicitly syncs with its nodes. This avoids a
lot of unncessary work when a cluster has a lot of nodes just in checking
if each node's preferred content is satisfied. And it avoids content
being sent to nodes individually, so instead syncing with clusters always
fanout uploads to nodes.
The downside is that there are situations where a cluster's preferred content
settings can be met, but those of its nodes are not. Or where a node does not
contain a key, but the cluster does, and there are not enough copies of the key
yet, so it would be desirable the send it there. I think that's an acceptable
tradeoff. These kind of situations are ones where the cluster itself should
probably be responsible for copying content to the node. Which it can do much
less expensively than a client can. Part of the balanced preferred content
design that I will be working on in a couple of months involves rebalancing
clusters, so I expect to revisit this.
The use of annex-sync config does allow running git-annex sync with a specific
node, or nodes, and it will sync with it. And it's also possible to set
annex-sync git configs to make it sync with a node by default. (Although that
will require setting up an explicit git remote for the node rather than relying
on the proxied remote.)
Logs.Cluster.Basic is needed because Remote.Git cannot import Logs.Cluster
due to a cycle. And the Annex.Startup load of clusters happens
too late for Remote.Git to use that. This does mean one redundant load
of the cluster log, though only when there is a proxy.

add annex-proxied
This makes git-annex sync and similar not treat proxied remotes as git
syncable remotes.
Also, display in git-annex info remote when the remote is proxied.

fix git-annex sync --content with proxied remotes
Loading the remote list a second time was removing all proxied remotes.
That happened because setting up the proxied remote added some config
fields to the in-memory git config, and on the second load, it saw those
configs and decided not to overwrite them with the proxy.
Now on the second load, that still happens. But now, the proxied
git configs are used to generate a remote same as if those configs were
all set. The reason that didn't happen before was twofold,
the gitremotes cache was not dropped, and the remote's url field was not
set correctly.
The problem with the remote's url field is that while it was marked as
proxy inherited, all other proxy inherited fields are annex- configs.
And the code to inherit didn't work for the url field.
Now it all works, but git-annex sync is left running git push/pull on
the proxied remote, which doesn't work. That still needs to be fixed.
