Since DistributionUpdate builds an Annex object, the new relative paths
code caused it to make a git object with paths like ../lib/downloads.
However, it actually runs the system's installed git-annex, and that old
version did not like being run in this situation. Probably it was buggy.
Fixed by chdir to the downloads repo before doing anything else.

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 /

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.
This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
This avoids cp -a overriding the default mode acls that the user might have
set in a git repository.
With GNU cp, this behavior change should not be a breaking change, because
git-anex also uses rsync sometimes in the same situation, and has only ever
preserved timestamps when using rsync.
Systems without GNU cp will no longer use cp -a, but instead just cp.
So, timestamps will no longer be preserved. Preserving timestamps when
copying between repos is not guaranteed anyway.
Closes: #729757
This way, it works both when using msgit, which will look in both bin and
cmd, but also when using cygwin's git, which only looks in PATH, which
includes cmd but not bin.
Also automated downloading the builds, finally. I had done it by hand until
now.
Note that the Windows autobuilder has an expired cert, so it will refuse to
download from it currently. I have emailed its admin to get that fixed,
hopefully.

Using the crazy but apparently best approach of a VB Script that runs
git-annex, in a hidden DOS window.
Note that currently the git-annex messages are not directed to daemon.log.
Would probably need another layer of script. Also problimatic since the
repository may not exist yet.
The armel autobuilder started failing:
Assistant/WebApp/Types.hs:128:14:
primitive string literal must contain only characters <= '\xFF'
This fixes that.
This should fix the android build. The EvilSplicer cannot fix up ghc's
misformatting of a case expression with a construstor with a lot of
parameters, which spans multiple lines.
