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.

Removed dependency on MissingH, instead depending on the split
library.
After laying groundwork for this since 2015, it
was mostly straightforward. Added Utility.Tuple and
Utility.Split. Eyeballed System.Path.WildMatch while implementing
the same thing.
Since MissingH's progress meter display was being used, I re-implemented
my own. Bonus: Now progress is displayed for transfers of files of
unknown size.

Turns out that Data.List.Utils.split is slow and makes a lot of
allocations. Here's a much simpler single character splitter that behaves
the same (even in wacky corner cases) while running in half the time and
75% the allocations.
As well as being an optimisation, this helps move toward eliminating use of
missingh.
(Data.List.Split.splitOn is nearly as slow as Data.List.Utils.split and
allocates even more.)
I have not benchmarked the effect on git-annex, but would not be surprised
to see some parsing of eg, large streams from git commands run twice as
fast, and possibly in less memory.

Unfortunately, this caused breakage on Windows, and possibly elsewhere,
because parentDir and takeDirectory do not behave the same when there is a
trailing directory separator.
parentDir is less safe than takeDirectory, especially when working
with relative FilePaths. It's really only useful in loops that
want to terminate at /

Note that on Windows a remote with a path like /home/foo/bar
is interpreted by git as being some screwy relative path (relative to what
exactly seems ill-defined -- it seemed relative to C:\Program Files\Git\ in
my tests!) So no attempt has been made to handle such a path sanely, just not
to crash when encountering it.
Note that "C:\\foo" </> "/home/foo/bar" yields /home/foo/bar even though
that is not absolute! I don't know what to make of all this,
except that I will be very happy when this crock of **** vanishes from
the face of the earth.
The -c option now not only modifies the git configuration seen by
git-annex, but it is passed along to every git command git-annex runs.
This was easy to plumb through because gitCommandLine is already used to
construct every git command line, to add --git-dir and --work-tree
That's needed in files used to build the configure program.
For the other files, I'm keeping my __WINDOWS__ define, as I find that much easier to type.
I may search and replace it to use the mingw32_HOST_OS thing later.
Two fixes. First, and most importantly, relax the isLinkToAnnex check
to only look for /annex/objects/, not [^|/].git/annex/objects. If
GIT_DIR is used with a detached work tree, the git directory is
not necessarily named .git.
There are important caveats with doing that at all, since git-annex will
make symlinks that point at GIT_DIR, which means that the relative path
between GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE needs to remain stable across all clones
of the repository.
----
The other fix is just fixing crazy and wrong code that, when GIT_DIR is
set, expects to still find a git repository in the path below the work
tree, and uses some of its configuration, and some of GIT_DIR. What was I
thinking, and why can't I seem to get this code right?
calcGitLink turns out to need it to be absolute, and it normally is,
but not if it's read from a .git file in a submodule, or perhaps from
GIT_DIR.
I should look into dropping this invariant.
The environment needs to override git-config. Changed when git config is
read, and avoid rereading it once it's been read.
chdir for both worktree settings.
Baked into the code was an assumption that a repository's git directory
could be determined by adding ".git" to its work tree (or nothing for bare
repos). That fails when core.worktree, or GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are
used to separate the two.
This was attacked at the type level, by storing the gitdir and worktree
separately, so Nothing for the worktree means a bare repo.
A complication arose because we don't learn where a repository is bare
until its configuration is read. So another Location type handles
repositories that have not had their config read yet. I am not entirely
happy with this being a Location type, rather than representing them
entirely separate from the Git type. The new code is not worse than the
old, but better types could enforce more safety.
Added support for core.worktree. Overriding it with -c isn't supported
because it's not really clear what to do if a git repo's config is read, is
not bare, and is then overridden to bare. What is the right git directory
in this case? I will worry about this if/when someone has a use case for
overriding core.worktree with -c. (See Git.Config.updateLocation)
Also removed and renamed some functions like gitDir and workTree that
misused git's terminology.
One minor regression is known: git annex add in a bare repository does not
print a nice error message, but runs git ls-files in a way that fails
earlier with a less nice error message. This is because before --work-tree
was always passed to git commands, even in a bare repo, while now it's not.
