... to control the default behavior in all clones of a repository.
This includes a new Configurable data type, so the GitConfig type indicates
which values can be configured this way.
The implementation should be quite efficient; the config log is only read
once, and only when a Configurable value has not already been set by
git-config.
Indeed, it would be nice in the future to extend this, so that git-config
is itself only read on demand. Some commands may not need to look at the
git configuration at all.

ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

This is a nearly free feature; it piggybacks on the location log lookups
done for the numcopies stats. So, the only extra overhead is updating
the map of repository sizes.
However, I had to switch to Data.Map.Strict, which needs containers 0.5.
If backporting to wheezy, will probably need to revert this commit.

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 /

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 works around horribleness in the Mavericks cpp, which falls over on
the #if when configure is running. Moving it avoids the file being built at
that point.
But it's also a location that makes sense..
Not yet wired up to restart the assistant on upgrade; that needs careful
sanity checking to wait until the upgrade is done before restarting.
Used the DirWatcher here, so it gets events for any changes to the
directory containing the program file. (But not subdirs.) This is necessary
in order to detect when the file is renamed as part of the upgrade, which
an inotify on a single file would not detect. (Also, I have DirWatcher code,
but not FileWatcher code.)
Note that upgrades that remove or rename a whole directory tree containing
the executable will *not* trigger this code. So eg, deleting and replacing
the whole standalone tarball dir tree won't work -- but untarring it
over top will. So should dpkg package upgrades.
Added programPath, using a new GHC feature to find the full path to the
executable. The fallback code for old GHC or unsupported OS is less good;
its worst failure mode would be either failing to find the program, and so
not checking for upgrades, or finding a git-annex that's in PATH, but is
not the one running.

As well as just being nicer, and less code, this uses nubBy equalFilePath
to ensure that the autostart file never gets dups.
Also, removing from the file no longer needs to be a perfect string match;
it also uses equalFilePath.
