Wrote a better git remote name sanitizer. Git blows up on lots of weird
stuff, especially if it starts the remote name, but I managed to get
some common punctuation working.
Still wait 1 minute after a change before waiting on the next change, but don't
wait at the start, when we might get a pull that contains config changes
right away.
Currently have three old versions of functions that more reworking is
needed to remove: getDaemonStatusOld, modifyDaemonStatusOld_, and
modifyDaemonStatusOld
This is a nice win; much less code runs in Annex, so other threads have
more chances to run concurrently.
I do notice that renaming a file has gone from 1 to 2 commits. I think this
is due to the above improvement letting the committer run more frequently,
so it commits the rm first.
Converted several threads to run in the monad.
Added a lot of useful combinators for working with the monad.
Now the monad includes the name of the thread.
Some debugging messages are disabled pending converting other threads.
I now have this topology working:
assistant ---> {bare repo, special remote} <--- assistant
And, I think, also this one:
+----------- bare repo --------+
v v
assistant ---> special remote <--- assistant
While before with assistant <---> assistant connections, both sides got
location info updated after a transfer, in this topology, the bare repo
*might* get its location info updated, but the other assistant has no way to
know that it did. And a special remote doesn't record location info,
so transfers to it won't propigate out location log changes at all.
So, for these to work, after a transfer succeeds, the git-annex branch
needs to be pushed. This is done by recording a synthetic commit has
occurred, which lets the pusher handle pushing out the change (which will
include actually committing any still journalled changes to the git-annex
branch).
Of course, this means rather a lot more syncing action than happened
before. At least the pusher bundles together very close together pushes,
somewhat. Currently it just waits 2 seconds between each push.
I am befuddled that Twitter Bootstrap has no built-in Icon for The Cloud,
and also that Chromium's depiction of CLOUD (U+2601) has an uncanny
resemblance to PILE OF POO (U+1F4A9) when rendered small, and looks like a
looming Frankenstorm when rendered large, and not a sweet, sunny, nothing
can go wrong The Cloud.

So, I must resort to irony in my choice of icons.
Adjust build deps to ensure that only a fixed version of the library will
be used.
Also, removed the bound thread stuff, which I now think was (probably)
a red herring.
