This benchmarks only slightly faster than the old git-annex. Eg, for a 1
gb file, 14.56s vs 15.57s. (On a ram disk; there would certianly be
more of an effect if the file was written to disk and didn't stay in
cache.)
Commenting out the updateIncremental calls make the same run in 6.31s.
May be that overhead in the implementation, other than the actual
checksumming, is slowing it down. Eg, MVar access.
(I also tried using 10x larger chunks, which did not change the speed.)
When annex.stalldetection is not enabled, and a likely stall is detected,
display a suggestion to enable it.
Note that the progress meter display is not taken down when displaying
the message, so it will display like this:
0% 8 B 0 B/s
Transfer seems to have stalled. To handle stalling transfers, configure annex.stalldetection
0% 10 B 0 B/s
Although of course if it's really stalled, it will never update
again after the message. Taking down the progress meter and starting
a new one doesn't seem too necessary given how unusual this is,
also this does help show the state it was at when it stalled.
Use of uninterruptibleCancel here is ok, the thread it's canceling
only does STM transactions and sleeps. The annex thread that gets
forked off is separate to avoid it being canceled, so that it
can be joined back at the end.
A module cycle required moving from dupState the precaching of the
remote list. Doing it at startConcurrency should cover all the cases
where the remote list is used in concurrent actions.

annex.stalldetection can now be set to "true" to make git-annex do
automatic stall detection when it detects a remote is updating its transfer
progress consistently enough.

Seems only fair, that, like git runs git-annex, git-annex runs
git-annex-foo.
Implementation relies on O.forwardOptions, so that any options are passed
through to the addon program. Note that this includes options before the
subcommand, eg: git-annex -cx=y foo
Unfortunately, git-annex eats the --help/-h options.
This is because it uses O.hsubparser, which injects that option into each
subcommand. Seems like this should be possible to avoid somehow, to let
commands display their own --help, instead of the dummy one git-annex
displays.
The two step searching mirrors how git works, it makes finding
git-annex-foo fast when "git annex foo" is run, but will also support fuzzy
matching, once findAllAddonCommands gets implemented.

Directory special remotes with importtree=yes now avoid unncessary overhead
when inodes of files have changed, as happens whenever a FAT filesystem
gets remounted.
A few unusual edge cases of modifications won't be detected and
imported. I think they're unusual enough not to be a concern. It would
be possible to add a config setting that controls whether to compare
inodes too, but does not seem worth bothering the user about currently.
I chose to continue to use the InodeCache serialization, just with the
inode zeroed. This way, if I later change my mind or make it
configurable, can parse it back to an InodeCache and operate on it. The
overhead of storing a 0 in the content identifier log seems worth it.
There is a one-time cost to this change; all directory special remotes
with importtree=yes will re-hash all files once, and will update the
content identifier logs with zeroed inodes.

This is conceptually very simple, just making a 1 that was hard coded be
exposed as a config option. The hard part was plumbing all that, and
dealing with complexities like reading it from git attributes at the
same time that numcopies is read.
Behavior change: When numcopies is set to 0, git-annex used to drop
content without requiring any copies. Now to get that (highly unsafe)
behavior, mincopies also needs to be set to 0. It seemed better to
remove that edge case, than complicate mincopies by ignoring it when
numcopies is 0.

* add: Significantly speed up adding lots of non-large files to git,
by disabling the annex smudge filter when running git add.
* add --force-small: Run git add rather than updating the index itself,
so any other smudge filters than the annex one that may be enabled will
be used.
Split out two todos for things that were mentioned as still open items
in there. Most of the others were already dealt with. I didn't open a
new todo for the import from readonly S3 bucket because I guess if
someone needs that, they can ask for it.
Especially from borg, where the content identifier logs
all end up being the same identical file!
But also, for other imports, the location tracking logs can,
in some cases, be identical files.
Bonus optimisation: Avoid looking up (and parsing when set)
GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK env var every time a log is written to.
Although the lookup does happen at startup even when no
log will be written now.
Note that, after changing it with enableremote, syncing won't rescan
known archives in the borg repo using the changed config. Probably not a
problem?
Also used File in some places where filenames that could theoretically
start with - are passed to borg, to avoid it confusing them with
options.
