unannex: New, much slower, but more safe behavior
Copies files out of the annex. This avoids an unannex of one file breaking other files that link to the same content. Also, it means that the content remains in the annex using up space until cleaned up with "git annex unused". (The behavior of unannex --fast has not changed; it still hard links to content in the annex. --fast was not made the default because it is potentially unsafe; editing such a hard linked file can unexpectedly change content stored in the annex.)
