Added knownRemotes to DaemonStatus. This list is not entirely trivial to
calculate, and having it here should make it easier to add/remove remotes
on the fly later on. It did require plumbing the daemonstatus through to
some more threads.
The reason the DirWatcher had to wait for program termination was because
it used withINotify, so when it finished, its watcher threads were killed.
But since I have two DirWatcher threads now, that was not good, and could
perhaps explain the MVar problem I saw yesterday. In any case, fixed this
part of the code by making the DirWatcher return a handle that can be used
to stop it, and now the main Assistant thread is the only one calling
waitForTermination.
Avoid MVar deadlock issue, which I don't understand.
Have not taken the time to debug it fully, because it turns out I don't
need to resolve merge conflicts when a new branch ref is written... I
think.
Ensure the git-annex branch is merged when doing a manual pull.
Otherwise it can get out of sync, since git-annex normally only merges it
once per run.
SampleMVar won't work; between getting the current value and changing
it, another thread could made a change, which would get lost.
TMVar works well; this update situation is handled by atomic transactions.
