The space leak was somehow caused by this line:
absfiles <- mapM absPath files
I confess, I don't quite understand why this caused bad buffering,
but apparently the whole pipeline from git-ls-files backed up at that
point.
Happily, rewriting the code to only get the cwd once and use a pure
function to calculate absfiles clears it up, and should be a little more
efficient in syscalls too.
Add --fast flag, that can enable less expensive, but also less thurough versions of some commands.

* fsck: In fast mode, avoid checking checksums.
* unused: In fast mode, just show all existing temp files as unused,
and avoid expensive scan for other unused content.
Free space checking is now done, for transfers of data for keys that have free space metadata.
(Notably, not for SHA* keys generated with git-annex 0.24 or earlier.)
The code is believed to work on Linux, FreeBSD, and OSX; check compile-time
messages to see if it is not enabled for your OS.
When adding files to the annex, the symlinks pointing at the annexed
content are made to have the same mtime as the original file. While git
does not preserve that information, this allows a tool like metastore to be
used with annexed files.
Haskell's IO layer crashes on characters > 255 when in a non-unicode (latin1)
locale. Until Haskell gets better behavior, put in an admittedly ugly
workaround for that: git-annex forces utf8 output mode no matter what
locale is selected. So if you use a non-utf8 locale, your filenames with
characters > 127 will not be displayed as you'd expect. But at least it
won't crash.
* Look for dir.git directories the same as git does.
* Support remote urls specified as relative paths.
* Support non-ssh remote paths that contain tilde expansions.
I had not taken into account that the code was written to run git and leave
zombies, for performance/laziness reasons, when I wrote the test suite.
So rather than the typical 1 zombie process that git-annex develops, test
developed dozens. Caused problems on system with low process limits.
Added a reap function to GitRepo, that waits for any zombie child processes.
Internally, the filenames are stored as un-decoded unicode.
I tried decoding them, but then haskell tries to access the wrong files.
Hmm.
So, I've unhappily chosen option "B", which is to decode filenames before
they are displayed.
Still todo:
- add repos from uuid.log that were not directly found
- group repos into their respective hosts
- display inaccessible repos and broken remote connections in red
- anonymize the url display somewhat, so the maps can be shared
- use uuid info to tell when two apparently different repos are actually
the same repo accessed in different ways
* Improved temp file handling. Transfers of content can now be resumed
from temp files later; the resume does not have to be the immediate
next git-annex run.
* unused: Include partially transferred content in the list.
Moved away from a map of flags to storing config directly in the AnnexState
structure. Got rid of most accessor functions in Annex.
This allowed supporting multiple --exclude flags.
* bugfix: Running `move --to` with a remote whose UUID was not yet known
could result in git-annex not recording on the local side where the
file was moved to. This could not result in data loss, or even a
significant problem, since the remote *did* record that it had the file.
* Also, add a general guard to detect attempts to record information
about repositories with missing UUIDs.
