Generally if git-annex unused does not identify some object as unused, that
you expected would be unused, it's because it found a branch that still
uses that object. It might be some old branch (or tag) that you made and
forgot about, it might be a remote tracking branch, either for a remote
that you forgot to sync the changes to, or for an old remote that
got removed but in a way that left the tracking branch around.
annex.used-refspec can also pull in other, non-branch refs.

@Ilya_Shlyakhter, I'd assume:
* some remotes would write to the named pipe
* some remotes would overwrite it with a file
* some remotes would open it, try to seek around as they do non-sequential
recieves, and hang or something
* some remotes would maybe open and write to it, but would no longer be
able to resume interrupted transfers, since they would I guess see its
size as 0
