It does use it on both stdout and stderr. It seems unlikely the problem
could really affect stdout, but the unix implementation of it combines
both into a single handle in any case.
It looks to me like the old code would have already dealt with the case
of ssh starting a ssh daemon that inherits stderr and keeps it open.
The ender thread closed the handle, which would unblock the other thread
and let it exit. Using hGetLineUntilExitOrEOF makes this more explicit
that it's dealt with and simplifies the code.
It had lost the hAcceptEncoding header that is set as part of the
overriding of http-client's default decompression of compressed files.
Seems likely that would have caused resuming of compressed files to fail
in some cases.

Fix a bug that could make resuming a download from the web fail when the
entire content of the file is actually already present locally.
What a mess that Request can throw exceptions or not, depending on how
it's configured. Makes it very hard if you need to handle some specific
http status codes in a function like this! Implementing everything two
ways did not seem appealing, if possible at all, so I decided to
override the Request if it did come configured to throw exception on
non-2xx http status. Other exceptions, like from http-client-restricted,
or due to a redirect to a non-http url, still get thrown.

Prevent windows assistant from trying (and failing) to upgrade itself,
which has never been supported on windows.
The new windows build is made with UPGRADE_LOCATION set, which enabled this
code path that had never run on windows before, and doesn't work. I don't
want to try to support self-upgrade on windows, or generally on other OS's
than the ones where its working, so added a check for that. This way the
build can keep setting UPGRADE_LOCATION and if some later git-annex does
learn how to upgrade itself on some OS, it won't need changing the build
setup.
This removeLink was introduced in commit
e505c03bcc, which replaced code
that used removeFile on Windows. So, I know git-annex did not used to do
anything other than removeFile on Windows. If there were symlinks it
wanted to remove, this would not work on windows, but of course it does
not use symlinks on windows.
