Currently [[/direct_mode]] allows the user to point many normally safe
git commands at his foot and pull the trigger. At LCA2013, a git-annex
user suggested modifying direct mode to make this impossible.
One way to do it would be to move the .git directory. Instead, make there
be a .git-annex directory in direct mode repositories. git-annex would know
how to use it, and would be extended to support all known safe git
commands, passing parameters through, and in some cases verifying them.
So, for example, `git annex commit` would run `git commit --git-dir=.git-annex`
However, `git annex commit -a` would refuse to run, or even do something
intelligent that does not involve staging every direct mode file.
