The “extract” command supports extracting all files underneath a given
set of prefix paths. The forthcoming support for extracting files using
a pattern (i.e. only files ending in “.zip”) requires the introduction
of path prefixes as a third pattern style, making it also available for
exclusions.
A function to parse pattern specifications was introduced in commit
2bafece. Since then it had a hardcoded default style of “fm”, meaning
fnmatch. With the forthcoming support for extracting files using
patterns this default style must be more flexible.
The utility functions “adjust_patterns” and “exclude_path” produce
respectively use a standard list object containing pattern objects.
With the forthcoming introduction of patterns for filtering files
to be extracted it's better to move the logic of these classes into
a single class.
The wrapper allows adding any number of patterns to an internal list
together with a value to be returned if a match function finds that
one of the patterns matches. A fallback value is returned otherwise.
- Stop using “adjust_pattern” and “exclude_path” as they're utility
functions not relevant to testing pattern classes
- Cover a few more cases, especially with more than one path separator
and relative paths
- At least one dedicated test function for each pattern style as opposed
to a single, big test mixing styles
- Use positive instead of negative matching (i.e. the expected list of
resulting items is a list of items matching a pattern)
also: make check in Lock.close more precise, check for "is not None".
note: a lot of blocks were just indented to be under the "with" statement,
in one case a block had to be moved into a function.
there is no such method in the code.
we use "check" method to repair the repo, so maybe this was left over
from a time when repair was separate from check.
the problem was that the borg process removed its own shared lock when upgrading it to an exclusive lock.
this is fine if we get the exclusive lock, but if we don't, we must re-add our shared lock.
this fixes the KeyError in locking.py:217
the items metadata stream is usually not that big (compared to the file content data) -
it is just file and dir names and other metadata.
if we use too rough granularity there (and big minimum chunk size), we usually will get no deduplication.
The class names “IncludePattern” and “ExcludePattern” may have been
appropriate when they were the only styles. With the recent addition of
regular expression support and with at least one more style being added
in forthcoming changes these classes should be renamed to be more
descriptive. “ExcludeRegex” is also renamed to match the new names.
The unit tests for Unicode in path patterns contained a lot of
unnecessary duplication. One set of duplication was for Mac OS X (also
known as Darwin) as it normalizes Unicode in paths to NFD. Then each
test case was repeated for every type of pattern.
With this change the tests become parametrized using py.test. The
duplicated code has been removed.
- rename BUCKET_(LOWER|UPPER)_LIMIT to HASH_(MIN|MAX)_LOAD
as this value is usually called the hash table's minimum/maximum load factor.
- remove MAX_BUCKET_SIZE (not used)
- regroup/reorder definitions
Patterns to exclude files can be loaded from a text file using the
“--exclude-from” option. Whitespace at the beginning or end of lines was
not stripped. Indented comments would be interpreted as a pattern and
a misplaced space at the end of a line--some text editors don't strip
them--could cause an exclusion pattern to not match as desired. With the
recent addition of regular expression support for exclusions the spaces
can be matched if necessary (“^\s” or “\s$”), though it's highly
unlikely that there are many paths deliberately starting or ending with
whitespace.
The existing option to exclude files and directories, “--exclude”, is
implemented using fnmatch[1]. fnmatch matches the slash (“/”) with “*”
and thus makes it impossible to write patterns where a directory with
a given name should be excluded at a specific depth in the directory
hierarchy, but not anywhere else. Consider this structure:
home/
home/aaa
home/aaa/.thumbnails
home/user
home/user/img
home/user/img/.thumbnails
fnmatch incorrectly excludes “home/user/img/.thumbnails” with a pattern
of “home/*/.thumbnails” when the intention is to exclude “.thumbnails”
in all home directories while retaining directories with the same name
in all other locations.
With this change regular expressions are introduced as an additional
pattern syntax. The syntax is selected using a prefix on “--exclude”'s
value. “re:” is for regular expression and “fm:”, the default, selects
fnmatch. Selecting the syntax is necessary when regular expressions are
desired or when the desired fnmatch pattern starts with two alphanumeric
characters followed by a colon (i.e. “aa:something/*”). The exclusion
described above can be implemented as follows:
--exclude 're:^home/[^/]+/\.thumbnails$'
The “--exclude-from” option permits loading exclusions from a text file
where the same prefixes can now be used, e.g. “re:\.tmp$”.
The documentation has been extended and now not only describes the two
pattern styles, but also the file format supported by “--exclude-from”.
This change has been discussed in issue #43 and in change request #497.

The two classes for applying inclusion and exclusion patterns contained
unnecessarily duplicated logic. The introduction of a shared base class
allows for easier reuse, especially considering that two more classes
are going to be added in forthcoming changes (regular expressions and
shell-style patterns).
prune and create now both require --verbose --stats to show stats.
it was implemented in this way (and not with print) so you can feed the stats data
into the logging system, too.
delete now says "Archive deleted" in verbose mode (for consistency,
it already said "Repository deleted" when deleting a repo).
also: add helpers.log_multi to comfortably and prettily output a block of log lines
The parsing code for exclude files (given via `--exclude-from`) was not
tested. Its core is factorized into a separate function to facilitate an
easier test. The observable behaviour is unchanged.
