sync: Push the current branch first, rather than a synced branch, to better
support git forges (gitlab, gitea, forgejo, etc.) which use push-to-create
with the first pushed branch becoming the default branch.
With considerable complication to filter out warning message about
receive.denyCurrentBranch when pushing to a non-bare repository. Localization
may break it in the future, but it seems like the best way to handle this. See
my comments for the gory details.
Added annex.fastcopy and remote.name.annex-fastcopy config setting. When
set, this allows the copy_file_range syscall to be used, which can eg allow
for server-side copies on NFS. (For fastest copying, also disable
annex.verify or remote.name.annex-verify.)
This is a simple implementation, that does not handle resuming as well as
it possibly could.
It can be used with both local git remotes (including on NFS), and
directory special remotes. Other types of remotes could in theory also
support it, so I've left the config documented as a general thing.
Avoid using "name" for what git-annex otherwise refers to as a
description.
(For the remotes in the map, the "remote" field should be the remote
name, but there is a bug preventing it from being that.)

Preferred content now supports "balanced=groupname:lackingcopies" to make
files be evenly balanced amoung as many repositories as are needed to
satisfy numcopies.
This implementation could be optimised to only call limitCheckNumCopies
once per file. Currently, it is called in two different places. Or it may
be that it would be better to add a cache to getNumMinCopiesAttr.
It might also be worth implementing :approxlackingcopies, but I'm not sure
if that has a use case. The use case for this seems to be when different
files have different numcopies values.
