Make exporttree=yes remotes that are appendonly not be untrusted, and not force
verification of content, since the usual concerns about losing data when an
export is updated by someone else don't apply.
Note that all the remote operations on keys are left as usual for
appendonly export remotes, except for storing content.

Make `git annex export` check appendonly when removing a file from an
export, and not update the location log, since the remote still contains
the content.

Probably not noticed until now because the queue is large enough that two
threads each filling theirs at the same time and flushing is unlikely to
happen.
Also made explicit that each worker thread gets its own queue.
I think that was the case before, but if something was put in the queue
before worker threads were forked off, they could have each inherited the
same queue.
Could have gone with a single shared queue, but per-worker queues is more
efficient, because a worker can add lots of stuff to its own queue without
any locking.

Avoids annex.largefiles inconsitency and also avoids a lot of
unneccessary calls to the clean filter when a large repo's clone
is being initialized.

v6: When annex.largefiles is not configured for a file, running git add or
git commit, or otherwise using git to stage a file will add it to the annex
if the file was in the annex before, and to git otherwise. This is to avoid
accidental conversion.
Note that git-annex add's behavior has not changed, for reasons explained
in the added comment.
Performance: No added overhead when annex.largefiles is configured.
When not configured, there is an added call to catObjectMetaData,
which involves a round trip through git cat-file --batch.
However, the earlier catKeyFile primes the cache for it.

Last of the known v6 races.
This also makes git add of a pointer file populate it when its content
is present in the annex. Which makes sense to do, I think.
This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
Update pointer file next time reconcileStaged is run to recover from the
race.
Note that restagePointerFile causes git to run the clean filter,
and that will run reconcileStaged. So, normally by the time the git
annex get/drop command finishes, the race has already been dealt with.
It may be that, in some case, that won't happen and the race will be
dealt with at a later point. git-annex could run reconcileStaged at
shutdown if that becomes a problem.
This does not handle the situation where the git mv is committed before
git-annex gets a chance to run again. git commit does run the clean
filter, and that happens to re-inject the content if it was supposed to
be dropped but is still populated. But, the case where the file was
supposed to be gotten but is not populated is not handled yet.

Check just before running update-index if the worktree file's content is
still the same, don't update it when it's been modified. This narrows
the race window a lot, from possibly minutes or hours, to seconds or
less.
(Use replaceFile so that the worktree update happens atomically,
allowing the InodeCache of the new worktree file to itself be gathered
w/o any other race.)
This doesn't eliminate the race; it can still occur in the window before
update-index runs. When annex.queue is large, a lot of files will be
statted by the checks, and so the window may still be large enough to be a
problem.
When only a few files are being processed, the window is as small as it
is in the race where a modification gets overwritten by git-annex when
it updates the worktree. Or maybe as small as whatever race git
checkout/pull/merge may have when the worktree gets modified during it.
Still, I've kept a todo about this race.
This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
Use git update-index --refresh, since it's a little bit more
efficient and the user can be told to run it if a locked index prevents
git-annex from running it.
This also fixes the problem where an annexed file was deleted in the index
and a get of another file that uses the same key caused the index update to
add back the deleted file. update-index will not add back the deleted file.
Documented in tips/unlocked_files.mdwn the gotcha that the index update
may conflict with other operations. I can't see any way to possibly avoid
that conflict.
One new todo about a race that causes a modification to be accidentially
staged.
Note that the assistant only flushes the git command queue when it
commits a modification. I have not tested the assistant with v6 unlocked
files, but assume most users of the assistant won't care if the index
shows a file as modified for a while.

After updating the worktree for an add/drop, update git's index, so git
status will not show the files as modified.
What actually happens is that the index update removes the inode
information from the index. The next git status (or similar) run
then has to do some work. It runs the clean filter.
So, this depends on the clean filter being reasonably fast and on git
not leaking memory when running it. Both problems were fixed in
a96972015d, but only for git 2.5. Anyone
using an older git will see very expensive git status after an add/drop.
This uses the same git update-index queue as other parts of git-annex, so
the actual index update is fairly efficient. Of course, updating the index
does still have some overhead. The annex.queuesize config will control how
often the index gets updated when working on a lot of files.
This is an imperfect workaround... Added several todos about new
problems this workaround causes. Still, this seems a lot better than the
old behavior.

v6 add: Take advantage of improved SIGPIPE handler in git 2.5 to speed up
the clean filter by not reading the file content from the pipe. This also
avoids git buffering the whole file content in memory.
When built with an older git, still consumes stdin. If built with a newer
git and used with an older one, it breaks, but that's acceptable --
checking the git version every time would make repeated smudge runs slow.

When --batch is used with matching options like --in, --metadata, etc, only
operate on the provided files when they match those options. Otherwise, a
blank line is output in the batch protocol.
Affected commands: find, add, whereis, drop, copy, move, get
In the case of find, the documentation for --batch already said it honored
the matching options. The docs for the rest didn't, but it makes sense to
have them honor them. While this is a behavior change, why specify the
matching options with --batch if you didn't want them to apply?
Note that the batch output for all of the affected commands could
already output a blank line in other cases, so batch users should
already be prepared to deal with it.
git-annex metadata didn't seem worth making support the matching options,
since all it does is output metadata or set metadata, the use cases for
using it in combination with the martching options seem small. Made it
refuse to run when they're combined, leaving open the possibility for later
support if a use case develops.

Added getStaged, to get the versions of git-annex branch files staged in its
index, and use during transitions so the result of merging sibling branches
is used.
The catFileStop in performTransitionsLocked is absolutely necessary,
without that the bug still occurred, because git cat-file was already
running and was looking at the old index file.
Note that getLocal still has cat-file look at the git-annex branch, not the
index. It might be faster if it looked at the index, but probably only
marginally so, and I've not benchmarked it to see if it's faster at all. I
didn't want to change unrelated behavior as part of this bug fix. And as
the need for catFileStop shows, using the index file has added
complications.
Anyway, it still seems fine for getLocal to look at the git-annex branch,
because normally the index file is updated just before the git-annex branch
is committed, and so they'll contain the same information. It's only during
a transition that the two diverge.

It was sorting by uuid, rather than cost!
Avoid future bugs of this kind by changing the Ord to primarily compare
by cost, with uuid only used when the cost is the same.

Added annex.commitmessage config that can specify a commit message for the

Useful for dropping old objects from cache repositories.
But also, quite a genrally useful thing to have..
Rather than imitiating find's -atime and other options, all of which are
pretty horrible to use, I made this match files accessed within a time
period, using the same duration format used by git-annex schedule and
--limit-time
In passing, changed the --limit-time option parser to parse the
duration, instead of having it later throw an error.

Added remote.name.annex-speculate-present config that can be used to
make cache remotes.
Implemented it in Remote.keyPossibilities, which is used by the
get/move/copy/mirror commands, and nothing else. This way, things like
whereis will not show content that's speculatively present.
The assistant and sync --content were not using Remote.keyPossibilities,
and were changed to use it.
The efficiency hit should be small; Remote.keyPossibilities is only
used before transferring a file, which is the expensive operation.
And, it's only doing one lookup of the remoteList and a very cheap
filter over it.
Note that, git-annex still updates the location log when copying content
to a remote with annex-speculate-present set. In this case, the location
tracking will indicate that content is present in the remote. This may
not be wanted for caches, or may not be a real problem for them. TBD.

Support working trees set up by git-worktree, by setting up some symlinks
such that git-annex links work right.
Also improved support for repositories created with --separate-git-dir.
At least recent git makes a .git file for those (older may have used a
symlink?), so that also needs to be converted to a symlink.

Work around git bug that runs smudge/clean filters at the top of the
repository while passing them a relative GIT_WORK_TREE that may point
outside of the repository, by using GIT_PREFIX to get back to the
subdirectory where a relative GIT_WORK_TREE is valid.
git devs have been informed of the bug and may fix it, which could conveivably
break this fix, but as it is, this works back to git 1.7.6.
