Currently only implemented for local git remotes. May try to add support
to git-annex-shell for ssh remotes later. Could concevably also be
supported by some special remote, although that seems unlikely.
Cronner user this when available, and when not falls back to
fsck --fast --from remote
git annex fsck --from does not itself use this interface.
To do so, I would need to pass --fast and all other options that influence
fsck on to the git annex fsck that it runs inside the remote. And that
seems like a lot of work for a result that would be no better than
cd remote; git annex fsck
This may need to be revisited if git-annex-shell gets support, since it
may be the case that the user cannot ssh to the server to run git-annex
fsck there, but can run git-annex-shell there.

Once I built the basic widget, it turned out to be rather easy to replicate
it once per scheduled activity and wire it all up to a fully working UI.
This does abuse yesod's form handling a bit, but I think it's ok.
And it would be nice to have it all ajax-y, so that saving one modified
form won't lose any modifications to other forms. But for now, a nice
simple 115 line of code implementation is a win.

I probably need to improve handling of the PleaseTerminate exception to
kill the fsck process. Also, if fsck finds bad files, something needs
to requeue downloads of them. Otherwise, this should work, but is probably
quite buggy since I have only tested the pure code over the past 2 days.
Extends the index.lock handling to other git lock files. I surveyed
all lock files used by git, and found more than I expected. All are
handled the same in git; it leaves them open while doing the operation,
possibly writing the new file content to the lock file, and then closes
them when done.
The gc.pid file is excluded because it won't affect the normal operation
of the assistant, and waiting for a gc to finish on startup wouldn't be
good.
All threads except the webapp thread wait on the new startup sanity checker
thread to complete, so they won't try to do things with git that fail
due to stale lock files. The webapp thread mostly avoids doing that kind of
thing itself. A few configurators might fail on lock files, but only if the
user is explicitly trying to run them. The webapp needs to start
immediately when the user has opened it, even if there are stale lock
files.
Arranging for the threads to wait on the startup sanity checker was a bit
of a bear. Have to get all the NotificationHandles set up before the
startup sanity checker runs, or they won't see its signal. Perhaps
the NotificationBroadcaster is not the best interface to have used for
this. Oh well, it works.

However, this is not working for gcrypt repos with a mangled hostname.
Problem is that the locked down key is installed before the repo is
initialized, so git-annex-shell refuses to allow the gcrypt special remote
to do its setup.
Improved probing the remote server, so it gathers a list of the
capabilities it has. From that list, we can determine which types
of remotes are supported, and display an appropriate UI.
The new buttons for making gcrypt repos don't work yet, but the old buttons
for unencrypted git repo and encrypted rsync repo have been adapted to the
new data types and are working.

This happened because the transferrer process did not know about the new
remote. remoteFromUUID crashed, which crashed the transferrer. When it was
restarted, the new one knew about the new remote so all further files would
transfer, but the one file would temporarily not be, until transfers retried.
Fixed by making remoteFromUUID not crash, and try reloading the remote list
if it does not know about a remote.
Note that this means that remoteFromUUID does not only return Nothing anymore
when the UUID is the UUID of the local repository. So had to change some code
that dependend on that assumption.
Overridable with --user-agent option.
Not yet done for S3 or WebDAV due to limitations of libraries used --
nether allows a user-agent header to be specified.

This pulls off quite a nice trick: When given a path on rsync.net, it
determines if it is an encrypted git repository that the user has
the key to decrypt, and merges with it. This is works even when
the local repository had no idea that the gcrypt remote exists!
(As previously done with local drives.)
