 -    looks through the repo to find the ones that are relevant
 -    to that command (ie, new files to add), and generates
 -    a list of start stage actions. -}

  -   if the input does not make sense. It should run quickly and
  -   should not modify Annex state. -}

 -    being run, and it should be where the bulk of the work happens. -}

 -    returns the overall success/fail of the command. -}
