The slowdown is not going to be large in typical small-ish repos.
And it does not seem to matter if the assistant reacts a little bit slower
in situations involving the expensive scan, since:
a) Those situations typically involve getting back in sync after something
has changed on a remote, often after a disconnect of some duration.
So taking a few seconds more is not noticable.
b) If the scan finds things that it needs to do, it will start
blocking anyway after 10 transfers are queued (due to use of
queueTransferWhenSmall). So, only the speed of finding the first 10
transfers will be impacted by this change.

Where before the "name" of a key and a backend was a string, this makes
it a concrete data type.
This is groundwork for allowing some varieties of keys to be disabled
in file2key, so git-annex won't use them at all.
Benchmarks ran in my big repo:
old git-annex info:
real 0m3.338s
user 0m3.124s
sys 0m0.244s
new git-annex info:
real 0m3.216s
user 0m3.024s
sys 0m0.220s
new git-annex find:
real 0m7.138s
user 0m6.924s
sys 0m0.252s
old git-annex find:
real 0m7.433s
user 0m7.240s
sys 0m0.232s
Surprising result; I'd have expected it to be slower since it now parses
all the key varieties. But, the parser is very simple and perhaps
sharing KeyVarieties uses less memory or something like that.

Users occasionally report this error firing, and I can't see why,
so include the rejected PairData in the error message.
This is safe even if it contains evil escape characters, because showing
it displays them in escaped form.

import: --deduplicate and --skip-duplicates were implemented inneficiently;
they unncessarily hashed each file twice. They have been improved to only
hash once.
The new approach is to lock down (minimally) and hash files, and then
reuse that information when importing them.
This was rather tricky, especially in detecting changes to files while
they are being imported.
The output of import changed slightly. While before it silently skipped
over files with eg --skip-duplicates, now it shows each file as it starts
to act on it. Since every file is hashed first thing, it would otherwise
not be clear what file import is chewing on. (Actually, it wasn't clear
before when any of the duplicates switches were used.)

... to control the default behavior in all clones of a repository.
This includes a new Configurable data type, so the GitConfig type indicates
which values can be configured this way.
The implementation should be quite efficient; the config log is only read
once, and only when a Configurable value has not already been set by
git-config.
Indeed, it would be nice in the future to extend this, so that git-config
is itself only read on demand. Some commands may not need to look at the
git configuration at all.

ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

This makes merging a remote into a freshly created direct mode repository
work the same as it works in indirect mode.
The git-annex branches would get merged in any case by a sync,
since that doesn't use git merge.
This might need to be revisited later to better mirror git's behavior.
I've long considered the XMPP support in git-annex a wart.
It's nice to remove it.
(This also removes the NetMessager, which was only used for XMPP, and the
daemonstatus's desynced list (likewise).)
Existing XMPP remotes should be ignored by git-annex.

Note that get --from foo --failed will get things that a previous get --from bar
tried and failed to get, etc. I considered making --failed only retry
transfers from the same remote, but it was easier, and seems more useful,
to not have the same remote requirement.
Noisy due to some refactoring into Types/
The keys database handle needs to be closed after merging, because the
smudge filter, in another process, updates the database. Old cached info
can be read for a while from the open database handle; closing it ensures
that the info written by the smudge filter is available.
This is pretty horribly ad-hoc, and it's especially nasty that the
transferrer closes the database every time.
git 2.8.1 (or perhaps 2.9.0) is going to prevent git merge from merging in
unrelated branches. Since the webapp's pairing etc features often combine
together repositories with unrelated histories, work around this behavior
change by setting GIT_MERGE_ALLOW_UNRELATED_HISTORIES when the assistant
merges.
Note though that this is not done for git annex sync's merges, so
it will follow git's default or configured behavior.
When annex.thin is set, adding an object will add the execute bits to the
work tree file, and this does mean that the annex object file ends up
executable.
This doesn't add any complexity that wasn't already present, because git
annex add of an executable file has always ingested it so that the annex
object ends up executable.
But, since an annex object file can be executable or not, when populating
an unlocked file from one, the executable bit is always added or removed
to match the mode of the pointer file.
So, it will pull and push the original branch, not the adjusted one.
And, for merging, it will use updateAdjustedBranch (not implemented yet).
Note that remaining uses of Git.Branch.current need to be checked too;
for things that should act on the original branch, and not the adjusted
branch.
* Removed the webapp-secure build flag, rolling it into the webapp build
flag.
* Removed the quvi and tahoe build flags, which only adds aeson to
the core dependencies.
* Removed the feed build flag, which only adds feed to the core
dependencies.
Build flags have cost in both code complexity and also make Setup configure
have to work harder to find a usable set of build flags when some
dependencies are missing.
Previously, it only flushed when the queue got larger than 1.
Also, make the queue auto-flush when items are added, rather than needing
to be flushed as a separate step. This simplifies the code and make it more
efficient too, as it avoids needing to read the queue out of the state to
check if it should be flushed.
Linking the file to the tmp dir was not necessary in the clean
filter, and it caused the ctime to change, which caused git to think
the file was changed. This caused git status to get slow as it kept
re-cleaning unchanged files.
Fixes several bugs with updates of pointer files. When eg, running
git annex drop --from localremote
it was updating the pointer file in the local repository, not the remote.
Also, fixes drop ../foo when run in a subdir, and probably lots of other
problems. Test suite drops from ~30 to 11 failures now.
TopFilePath is used to force thinking about what the filepath is relative
to.
The data stored in the sqlite db is still just a plain string, and
TopFilePath is a newtype, so there's no overhead involved in using it in
DataBase.Keys.
In v6 unlocked mode, this fixes a problem that was making eg,
echo > file cause the assistant to copy the file to the annex object,
instead of hard linking it. That because 2 change events were seen
(one for opening the file and one for closing) and processed together
the file was then locked down twice. Which meant it had mutiple hard links,
and so prevented linkAnnex from hard linking it.
There might be scenarios where multiple events come in, but staggered such
that a file gets locked down repeatedly, and it would still be copied to
the annex object in that case.
This can happen when ingesting a new file in either locked or unlocked
mode, when some unlocked files in the repo use the same key, and the
content was not locally available before.
There should be no behavior changes in this commit, it just adds a more
expressive data type and adjusts code that had been passing around a [UUID]
or sometimes a Maybe Remote to instead use [VerifiedCopy].
Although, since some functions were taking two different [UUID] lists,
there's some potential for me to have gotten it horribly wrong.
This removes a bit of complexity, and should make things faster
(avoids tokenizing Params string), and probably involve less garbage
collection.
In a few places, it was useful to use Params to avoid needing a list,
but that is easily avoided.
Problems noticed while doing this conversion:
* Some uses of Params "oneword" which was entirely unnecessary
overhead.
* A few places that built up a list of parameters with ++
and then used Params to split it!
Test suite passes.
