Does --unused bypass required content checks in any meaningful sense?
I documented it as such but am unsure of what required content setting
would be considered to match unused content.
init: Fix a reversion in the last release that prevented automatically
generating and setting a description for the repository.
Seemed best to factor out uuidDescMapRaw that does not
have the default mempty descrition behavior.
I don't much like that behavior, but I know things depend on it.
One thing in particular is `git annex info` which lists the uuids and
descriptions; if the current repo has been initialized in some way that
means it does not have a description, it would not show up w/o that.
(Not only repos created due to this bug might lack that. For example a repo
that was marked dead and had --drop-dead delete its git-annex branch info,
and then came back from the dead would similarly not be in the uuid.log.
Also there have been other versions of git-annex that didn't set a default
description; for years there was no default description.)
When downloading an url and the destination file exists but is empty,
avoid using http range to resume, since a range "bytes=0-" is an unusual
edge case that it's best to avoid relying on working.
This is known to fix a case where importfeed downloaded a partial feed from
such a server. Since importfeed uses withTmpFile, the destination always exists
empty, so it would particularly tickle such problem servers. Resuming from 0
is otherwise possible, but unlikely.
