It's hard to know what's a good default for this. But 1 mb seems way too
small, because it's very easy for a git pull or some similar operation
that we don't think of as using much space to use up 1 mb of space.
Most people would want to free up some space if a filesystem only had 100
mb free. But on a small VPS, it's probably not uncommon to have only 1 gb
free. So 1 gb is too large for annex.diskreserve.
While old 1 gb USB keys are around, it's unlikely that anyone is
relying on them to shuttle annex data around; it would be worth anyone's
time to upgrade to a 32 gb or larger cheap modern USB key ($5).

Fix a reversion that prevented git-annex from working in a repository when
--git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified to relocate the git directory to
somewhere else. (Introduced in version 10.20220525)
checkRepoConfigInaccessible could still run git config --list, just passing
--git-dir. It seems not necessary, because I know that passing --git-dir
bypasses git's check for repo ownership. I suppose it might be that git
eventually changes to check something about the ownership of the working
tree, so passing --git-dir without --work-tree would still be worth doing.
But for now this is the simple fix.

Improve handling of directory special remotes with importtree=yes whose
ignoreinode setting has been changed. (By either enableremote or by
upgrading to commit 3e2f1f73cbc5fc10475745b3c3133267bd1850a7.)
When getting a file from such a remote, accept the content that would have
been accepted with the previous ignoreinode setting.
After a change to ignoreinode, importing a tree from the remote will
re-import and generate new content identifiers using the new config. So
when ignoreinode has changed to no, the inodes will be learned, and after
that point, a change in an inode will be detected as a change. Before
re-importing, a change in an inode will be ignored, as it was before the
ignoreinode change. This seems acceptble, because the user can re-import
immediately if they urgently need to add inodes. And if not, they'll
do it sometime, presumably, and the change will take effect then.

I looked at all man pages with --all, and this was the only one that
needs to add this disclaimer. Others like get and drop obviously
won't operate on dead keys anyway, because a dead key does not have any
content located anywhere.
Fix a reversion that made dead keys not be skipped when operating on all
keys via --all or in a bare repo. (Introduced in version 8.20200720)
Also, improved the documentation of git-annex-dead, it does not only apply
to fsck --all.
Also, made git-annex fsck, when run on a file whose key is dead, display
that. Before, it displayed that only when run with --all, but with this
fix, it skips dead keys with --all. But it can still be run on a file that
uses a dead key, and displaying "This key is dead" explains to the user
why it does not consider missing content for it to be a problem.
