I've now fixed the worst problem with v6 mode, which was that get/drop of
unlocked files would cause git to think that the files were modified.
Since the clean filter now runs quite fast, I was able to fix that by,
after git-annex updates the worktree, restaging the not-really-modified
file in the index.
This approach is not optimal; index file updates have overhead; and only
one process can update the index file at one time. [[todo/smudge]] has a
bunch of new todo items for cases where this change causes problems. Still,
it seems a lot better than the old behavior, which made v6 mode nearly
unusable IMHO.
