* Could use the .map files to get a filename, but this is somewhat
arbitrary (.map can contain multiple filenames), and is only
currently supported in direct mode.
* Have a reference branch (eg master) and walk it to find filenames and
keys. Fine as long as it can be done efficiently. Also allows including
the subdirectory a file is in, potentially. cwebber points out that this
is essentially a form of tracking branch. Which implies it will need to
be updatable when the reference branch changes. Should be doable via
diff-tree.
Note that any of these filenames can in theory conflict. May need to use
`.variant-*` like sync does on conflict to allow 2 files with same name in
