Friday and today were spent implementing both sides of the P2P protocol for
git-annex content transfers.
There were some tricky cases to deal with. For example, when a file is being
sent from a direct mode repository, or v6 annex.thin repository, the
content of the file can change as it's being transferred. Including being
appended to or truncated. Had to find a way to deal with that, to avoid
breaking the protocol by not sending the indicated number of bytes of data.
It all seems to be done now, but it's not been tested at all, and there are
probably some bugs to find. (And progress info is not wired up yet.)
