This serves two purposes. --remote=web bypasses other special remotes that
claim the url, same as addurl --raw. And, specifying some other remote
allows making sure that an url is claimed by the remote you expect,
which makes then using setpresentkey not be fragile.

This reverts commit 66eb63dd82.
git-annex init is the only thing that uses ensureCommit. So overriding
there will make later commits to the git-annex branch or by git-annex sync
fail.
It's ugly that git-annex init sets user.name and user.email, but it only
does it on systems that are badly configured.
When it's set and git cannot determine user.name or user.email, this will
result in git-annex init failing when committing to create the git-annex
branch. Other git-annex commands that commit can also fail.

Avoid setting user.name and user.email in the git config when git is unable
to detect them.
git-annex has good reason to want to ensure git commit succeeds when eg
committing to the git-annex branch. But it's not playing nice to set these
values where other commands can see them.

Fix laziness bug introduced in last release that breaks use of
--unlock-present and --hide-missing adjusted branches.
Since there is a writeFile of the same file immediately after readFile, it
may still have the file open for read (or may have happened to read it
already and closed it).
I was not able to reproduce the problem in brief testing, but this seems
obvious.

Support VERSION 2 in the external special remote protocol, which is
identical to VERSION 1, but avoids external remote programs neededing to
work around the above bug. External remote program that support
exporttree=yes are recommended to be updated to send VERSION 2.

Fix bug that caused broken protocol to be used with external remotes that
use exporttree=yes. In some cases this could result in the wrong content
being exported to, or retrieved from the remote.
