git-annex pull and push
Split out two new commands, git-annex pull and git-annex push. Those plus a git commit are equivilant to git-annex sync. In a sense, git-annex sync conflates 3 things, and it would have been better to have push and pull from the beginning and not sync. Although note that git-annex sync --content is faster than a pull followed by a push, because it only has to walk the tree once, look at preferred content once, etc. So there is some value in git-annex sync in speed, as well as user convenience. And it would be hard to split out pull and push from sync, as far as the implementaton goes. The implementation inside sync was easy, just adjust SyncOptions so it does the right thing. Note that the new commands default to syncing content, unless annex.synccontent is explicitly set to false. I'd like sync to also do that, but that's a hard transition to make. As a start to that transition, I added a note to git-annex-sync.mdwn that it may start to do so in a future version of git-annex. But a real transition would necessarily involve displaying warnings when sync is used without --content, and time. Sponsored-by: Kevin Mueller on Patreon

By default `git annex sync` only syncs the metadata about your
|

files that is stored in git. It does not sync the contents of files, that

are managed by git-annex. To do that, you can use `git annex sync --content`

There are also commands `git-annex pull` and `git-annex push` that are like

`git-annex sync`, but only transfer in one direction, do not commit, and

operate on the content of annexed files by default.
