Install new git hooks in this version.
This does beg the question of what to do if git later gets eg a
post-smudge hook, that could run git-annex smudge --update. I think the
thing to do in that case would be to make git-annex smudge --update
install the new hooks. That way, as the user uses git-annex, the hook
would be created pretty quickly and without needing any extra syscalls
except for when git-annex smudge --update is called.
I considered doing something like that for installation of the
post-checkout and post-merge hooks, which would have avoided the need
for v7. But the only place it was cheap to do it would be in git-annex smudge
which could cheaply notice that smudge.log didn't exist yet and so know
the hooks needed to be installed. But since smudge used to populate pointer
files, it would be quite surprising if a single git checkout/merge failed
to update the work tree, and so that idea didn't work out.
The other reason for v7 is psychological -- users don't need to worry
about whether they might be running an old version of git-annex that
doesn't support their v7 repository very well. And bug reports about
"v6" have gotten a bit of a bad association in my head since they often
hit one of the known limitations and didn't realize it was experimental.
newtyped RepoVersion Int to avoid needing 2 comparisons in
versionSupportsUnlockedPointers etc. Also it's just nicer.

The smuge filter no longer provides git with annexed file content, to
avoid a git memory leak, and because that did not honor annex.thin.
git annex smudge --update has to be run after a checkout to update
unlocked files in the working tree with annexed file contents.
No hooks yet to run it.

It was trying to git annex adjust when in a direct mode repo, and that
of course fails. What I don't understand though, is how the test suite
managed to work before, when it was clearly checking the wrong thing.
Since the right way to fix it was obvious, I have not bisected.

This completes initial support for --hide-missing, although the
assistant still needs to be updated and it perhaps needs to be sped up,
and maybe there needs to be a way for git-annex get to operate on
missing files. Opened some more todos for those things.

(Still need to make git annex sync --content update the adjusted branch
to expose files it downloaded, which this relies on.)

This relies on git ls-files --with-tree, which I'm using in a way that
its man page does not document. Hm. I emailed the git list to try to get
the docs improved, but at least the git test suite does test the same
kind of use case I'm using here.
Performance impact when not in an adjusted branch is limited to some
additional MVar accesses, and a single git call to determine the name of
the current branch. So very minimal.
When in an adjusted branch, the performance impact is
in Annex.WorkTree.lookupFile, which starts doing an equal amount of work
for files that didn't exist as it already did for files that were
unlocked.

* At long last there's a way to hide annexed files whose content
is missing from the working tree: git-annex adjust --hide-missing
* When already in an adjusted branch, running git-annex adjust
again will update the branch as needed. This is mostly
useful with --hide-missing to hide/unhide files after their content
has been dropped or received.
Still needs integration with sync and the assistant, and not as fast as it
could be, but already usable.

That could cause git-annex to get confused about whether a locked file's
content was present, when the object file got touched.
Unfortunately this means more work sometimes when annex.thin is set,
since it has to checksum the file to tell if it's still got the right
content.
Had to suppress output when inAnnex calls isUnmodified, otherwise
"(checksum...)" would be printed in places it ought not to be,
eg "git annex get" could turn out not need to get anything, and
so only display that.

I understand and sympathize with why this was added here, but the fact
is that this kind of warning is clutter that is going to make it harder
to understand this man page overall; this is not the place to document
internal implementation details of the format of URL keys and more than
it would be the place to document how WORM keys mangle and truncate
filenames, or how the extension of a SHAnE key is chosen. I see that
it did get documented better in backends.mdwn, which is a good place
to document it.
The chance that someone is going to have the same misunderstanding and
happen to see this warning does not justify confusing everyone else
with a warning that is really out of place in this documentation.
* Added arm64 Linux standalone build. (No autobuilder yet.)
* Improved termux installation process.
Added git-annex-install.sh script to avoid user needing to type as much in
termux. The scope of this script is limited; runshell handles the rest.
Runshell runs termux-fix-shebang on the shell scripts. The problem is
the bundled bin/sh script, deleting that script also works, but then the
others probably use the system Android /bin/sh, which could be old or
broken or not posix or whatever. Using termux sh to run the scripts is
better.
