This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
Avoid performing repository fixups for submodules and git-worktrees
when there's a .noannex file that will prevent git-annex from being
used in the repository.
This change is ok as long as the .noannex file is really going to prevent
git-annex from being used. But, init --force could override the file.
Which would result in the repo being initialized without the fixups
having run.
To avoid that situation decided to change init, to not let --force be used
to override a .noannex file. Instead the user can just delete the file.
Support working trees set up by git-worktree, by setting up some symlinks
such that git-annex links work right.
Also improved support for repositories created with --separate-git-dir.
At least recent git makes a .git file for those (older may have used a
symlink?), so that also needs to be converted to a symlink.

And for tab completion, by not unnessessarily statting paths to remotes,
which used to cause eg, spin-up of removable drives.
Got rid of the remotes member of Git.Repo. This was a bit painful.
Remote.Git modifies the list of remotes as it reads their configs,
so still need a persistent list of remotes. So, put it in as
Annex.gitremotes. It's only populated by getGitRemotes, so commands
like examinekey that don't care about remotes won't do so.

That version has my patches for the problems that Utility.PosixFiles
was working around, so am able to get rid of that module now.
This will later allow bringing back the custom-setup stanza in the cabal
file. It will need to depend on unix-compat 0.5 on all OS's, which I'm
not ready to do yet.

It started exporting a isSymbolicLink which supports windows. But,
git-annex does no use symlinks on windows yet and this conflicts with the
function by the same name from unix-compat, so hide it.
This might be overkill; I only know I need it in ls-files, but other git
commands can also do their own globbing, it turns out, and I am pretty sure
I never want them too when git-annex is using them as plumbing.
Test suite still passes and it looks ok.
Seems to work, but still experimental until it's been tested more.
When repositories are on filesystems not supporting symlinks, the .git dir
symlink trick cannot be used. Since we're going to be in direct mode
anyway, the .git dir symlink is not strictly needed.
However, I have not fixed the code that creates new annex symlinks to
handle this case -- the committed symlinks will be wrong.
git annex sync happens to currently fail in a submodule using direct mode,
because there's no HEAD ref. That also needs to be dealt with to get
this fully working in crippled filesystems.
Leaving http://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/44 open until these issues
are dealt with.
