decided not to include export/import trees

They're only needed to cover a gc edge case, and it's better someone
gets caught by that edge case than that someone who does not know about
them ends up with a filtered git-annex branch that contains such a tree
when some of the files listed in it are ones they wanted to *remove*
from the repository.

When a special remote is configured with importtree=yes or exporttree=yes,
normally the git tree corresponding to the repository is included in
the git-annex branch, to make sure it does not get garbage collected
by `git gc`. Those trees are *not* included when filtering the git-annex
branch. Usually this will not cause any problems, but if such a tree does
get garbage collected, it will prevent accessing files on the special
remote, until the next time a tree is imported or exported to it.
