Now that direct mode sets core.bare=true, git's normal prohibition about
pushing into the currently checked out branch doesn't work.
A simple fix for this would be an update hook which blocks the pushes..
but git hooks must be executable, and git-annex needs to be usable on eg,
FAT, which lacks x bits.
Instead, enabling direct mode switches the branch (eg master) to a special
purpose branch (eg annex/direct/master). This branch is not pushed when
syncing; instead any changes that git annex sync commits get written to
master, and it's pushed (along with synced/master) to the remote.
Note that initialization has been changed to always call setDirect,
even if it's just setDirect False for indirect mode. This is needed because
if the user has just cloned a direct mode repo, that nothing has synced
with before, it may have no master branch, and only a annex/direct/master.
Resulting in that branch being checked out locally too. Calling setDirect False
for indirect mode moves back out of this branch, to a new master branch,
and ensures that a manual "git push" doesn't push changes directly to
the annex/direct/master of the remote. (It's possible that the user
makes a commit w/o using git-annex and pushes it, but nothing I can do
about that really.)

Copies files out of the annex. This avoids an unannex of one file breaking
other files that link to the same content. Also, it means that the content
remains in the annex using up space until cleaned up with "git annex
unused".
(The behavior of unannex --fast has not changed; it still hard
links to content in the annex. --fast was not made the default because it
is potentially unsafe; editing such a hard linked file can unexpectedly
change content stored in the annex.)
This used to work, but now hsc2hs is failing with a usage message.
Since I have not changed my windows build environment at all, it must be
some change due to a change in the cabal file. Perhaps too make flags are
causing it to hit a windows command line length limit?
Anyway, these hsc files did nothing on Windows, so can be omitted and not
built to work around yet another epic windows weirdness.
This actually fixes a bug; if pre-commit was run in a subdir, it would pass
relative files when updating the associated file maps, and so the maps
wouldn't update.
I don't think this bug happened in practice, due to the way pre-commit is
called by the hook. It happened to chdir to the top of the work tree.
Note that this case is only fully automatically resolved in direct mode.
In indirect mode, git merge moves the file to file~HEAD, and replaces it
with the directory, and leaves the file in unmerged state, and sync doesn't
yet change that.
addurl: Improve message when adding url with wrong size to existing file.
Before the message suggested the url didn't exist.
Fixed handling of URL keys that have no recorded size. Before, if the key
has no size, the url also had to not declare any size, which was unlikely
and wrong, or it was taken to not exist. This probably would mostly affect
keys that were added to the annex with addurl --relaxed.
Thought was that this would be faster than a map, since a vector can be
updated more efficiently. It turns out to not seem to matter; runtime and
memory usage are basically identical.
recvkey was told it was receiving a HMAC key from a direct mode repo,
and that confused it into rejecting the transfer, since it has no way to
verify a key using that backend, since there is no HMAC backend.
I considered making recvkey skip verification in the case of an unknown
backend. However, that could lead to bad results; a key can legitimately be
in the annex with a backend that the remote git-annex-shell doesn't know
about. Better to keep it rejecting if it cannot verify.
Instead, made the gcrypt special remote not set the direct mode flag when
sending (and receiving) files.
Also, added some recvkey messages when its checks fail, since otherwise
all that is shown is a confusing error message from rsync when the remote
git-annex-shell exits nonzero.
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.

I forgot I had <$$> hidden away in Utility.Applicative.
It allows doing the same kind of currying as does >=*>
and I found using it made the code more readable for me.
