Tagging todos that seem to have a plan ready as confirmed.
Also closed some old ones for various reasons. Including several that
turn out to be addressed by newer features.
Also opened a new todo about git-annex-config needing a criteria to add
new configs to it.
assistant: When annex.autocommit is set, notice commits that the user makes
manually, and push them out to remotes promptly.

Ignore annex.numcopies set to 0 in gitattributes or git config, or by
git-annex numcopies or by --numcopies, since that configuration would make
git-annex easily lose data. Same for mincopies.
This is a continuation of the work to make data only be able to be lost
when --force is used. It earlier led to the --trust option being disabled,
and similar reasoning applies here.
Most numcopies configs had docs that strongly discouraged setting it to 0
anyway. And I can't imagine a use case for setting to 0. Not that there
might not be one, but it's just so far from the intended use case of
git-annex, of managing and storing your data, that it does not seem like
it makes sense to cater to such a hypothetical use case, where any
git-annex drop can lose your data at any time.
Using a smart constructor makes sure every place avoids 0. Note that this
does mean that NumCopies is for the configured desired values, and not the
actual existing number of copies, which of course can be 0. The name
configuredNumCopies is used to make that clear.

hothasktags was removed from Debian. And in the meantime hasktags
improved so it works well in the source tree.
Also make dev update tags.

prop_relPathDirToFileAbs_basics (TestableFilePath ":/") failed on
windows. The colon was filtered out after trying to make
the path relative, which only removed leading path separators.
So, ":/" changed to "/" which is not relative. Filtering out the colon
before hand avoids this problem.

Removed vendored copy of http-client-restricted, and removed the
HttpClientRestricted build flag that avoided that dependency.
http-client-restricted is in Debian stable, and the i386ancient build also
uses it, so I think this vendored copy is no longer needed.

This should let i386ancient limp along for a few years more, beyond the
removal of those vendored deps from git-annex.
Also networkbsd is set now, so probably the last thing to unset that
flag is gone, and the flag could be removed soon.

The new ansi-terminal was needed for test concurrency, and the new
concurrent-output fixes several bugs. And it turns out this is all
that's needed to use the new tasty.
Sponsored-by: Kevin Mueller on Patreon
Dependency issues were looking difficult to support tasty-1.2 with that
build. Not using `after` only affects rerunning and limiting tests,
since tasty's concurrency is not used, so this build will just not
support that.
We are probably nearing end of life on this build; it also doesn't
support git-lfs or http-client-restricted. The 2.6.32 kernel it supports
is at this point 13 years old, and stopped being supported by linux LTS
developers 10 years ago. It was supported by RHEL 6.10 through November
2020. At this point, no new hardware should be shipping with this
kernel, but that probably does not stop certian embedded vendors from
shipping it. And there is certainly some hardware still using it. But
the returns from supporting it are diminishing, and the quality of the
build for it is also diminishing.

add: Avoid unncessarily converting a newly unlocked file to be stored
in git when it is not modified, even when annex.largefiles does not
match it.
This fixes a reversion in version 10.20220222, where git-annex unlock
followed by git-annex add, followed by git commit file could result in
git thinking the file was modified after the commit.
I do have half a mind to remove the withUnmodifiedUnlockedPointers part
of git-annex add. It seems weird, despite that old bug report arguing
a case of consistency that it ought to behave that way. When git-annex
add surpises me, it seems likely it's wrong.. But for now, this is the
smallest possible fix.

Directory special remotes with importtree=yes have changed to once more
take inodes into account. This will cause extra work when importing from a
directory on a FAT filesystem that changes inodes on every mount.
To avoid that extra work, set ignoreinodes=yes when initializing a new
directory special remote, or change the configuration of your existing
remote: git-annex enableremote foo ignoreinodes=yes
This will mean a one-time re-import of all contents from every directory
special remote due to the changed setting.

it was too unlikely that there would be modifications that the inode number
was needed to notice. That was probably right; it's very unlikely that a
file will get modified and end up with the same size and mtime as before.
But, what was not considered is that a program like NextCloud might write
two files with different content so closely together that they share the
mtime. The inode is necessary to detect that situation.
