When --batch is used with matching options like --in, --metadata, etc, only
operate on the provided files when they match those options. Otherwise, a
blank line is output in the batch protocol.
Affected commands: find, add, whereis, drop, copy, move, get
In the case of find, the documentation for --batch already said it honored
the matching options. The docs for the rest didn't, but it makes sense to
have them honor them. While this is a behavior change, why specify the
matching options with --batch if you didn't want them to apply?
Note that the batch output for all of the affected commands could
already output a blank line in other cases, so batch users should
already be prepared to deal with it.
git-annex metadata didn't seem worth making support the matching options,
since all it does is output metadata or set metadata, the use cases for
using it in combination with the martching options seem small. Made it
refuse to run when they're combined, leaving open the possibility for later
support if a use case develops.

Added getStaged, to get the versions of git-annex branch files staged in its
index, and use during transitions so the result of merging sibling branches
is used.
The catFileStop in performTransitionsLocked is absolutely necessary,
without that the bug still occurred, because git cat-file was already
running and was looking at the old index file.
Note that getLocal still has cat-file look at the git-annex branch, not the
index. It might be faster if it looked at the index, but probably only
marginally so, and I've not benchmarked it to see if it's faster at all. I
didn't want to change unrelated behavior as part of this bug fix. And as
the need for catFileStop shows, using the index file has added
complications.
Anyway, it still seems fine for getLocal to look at the git-annex branch,
because normally the index file is updated just before the git-annex branch
is committed, and so they'll contain the same information. It's only during
a transition that the two diverge.

Work around git bug that runs smudge/clean filters at the top of the
repository while passing them a relative GIT_WORK_TREE that may point
outside of the repository, by using GIT_PREFIX to get back to the
subdirectory where a relative GIT_WORK_TREE is valid.
git devs have been informed of the bug and may fix it, which could conveivably
break this fix, but as it is, this works back to git 1.7.6.
