## todo
* Run niced and ioniced? Seems to make sense, this is a background job.
* configurable option to only annex files meeting certian size or
filename criteria
* option to check files not meeting annex criteria into git directly,
automatically
* honor .gitignore, not adding files it excludes (difficult, probably
needs my own .gitignore parser to avoid excessive running of git commands
to check for ignored files)
## beyond Linux

* Running external commands from one thread blocks all of them until
it completes. Try to switch to haskell's threaded runtime, which I
think fixes this. Failing that, make sure all network accessing
commands are run by separate processes or something.
