See #2266. The recently introduced caching mechanism is nifty, but it's
causing problems for many users. We're rolling it back until the author can
get to the bottom of the problem.
Previously "pretend" mode (a.k.a. dry run mode) passed the command to be
printed directly to _log.info, whose first argument is technically a
format string. Thus the command string was parsed for replacement fields, such
as '{foo}', which could cause the format evaluation to fail if the filenames
contained in the command contained valid (or partially valid) replacement fields.
This fix simply inserts an argument '{0}' to the call to _log.info, which is a
format string that simply evaluates to the second argument to _log.info (the
command string). By doing this, the command string is not parsed for replacement
fields.
Discog plugin overrides the global logging for `requests` for a reason
that seems no longer valid.
I can't seem to reproduce the logging behavior mentioned in the
preceding comment, so I'm removing it.
If we do want to modify `requests` logging in the future, then we should
hook it into beets verbose logging.
* make asciifying handle both os.sep and os.altsep (testing needed as I
don't have a windows box handy)
* make %asciify{} use the same code path as the asciify_paths goop.
* added a discrete test to %asciify{} so my life acts as a warning to
others
* changelog note now with 80% less antihistamine-induced runon sentences
Related to #1966. Previously, we used a `syspath` call inside MediaFile, which
probably wasn't right: the constructor should behave like `open` in that we
need to use pass an OS path.
