This fixes strange displays in some cases, including whereis showing
many duplicate locations, and showing more total copies than actually
exist.
It's unknown if that lead to data loss when eg, dropping. At the moment,
it seems unlikely it could, since the UUID with \r's appended is not the
same as a UUID without, and so no remote matches it.
It's also unknown if \r's can leak in on windows, perhaps when merging the
git-annex branch.
Found these with:
git grep "^ " $(find -type f -name \*.hs) |grep -v ': where'
Unfortunately there is some inline hamlet that cannot use tabs for
indentation.
Also, Assistant/WebApp/Bootstrap3.hs is a copy of a module and so I'm
leaving it as-is.
* numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all
clones of a repository.
* The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies
command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies
git configs will be ignored.
* assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies.
This global numcopies setting is needed to let preferred content
expressions operate on numcopies.
It's also convenient, because typically if you want git-annex to preserve N
copies of files in a repo, you want it to do that no matter which repo it's
running in. Making it global avoids needing to warn the user about gotchas
involving inconsistent annex.numcopies settings.
(See changes to doc/numcopies.mdwn.)
Added a new variety of git-annex branch log file, that holds only 1 value.
Will probably be useful for other stuff later.
