This overrides the trust.log, and is overridden by the command-line trust
parameters.
It would have been nicer to have Logs.Trust.trustMap just look up the
configuration for all remotes, but a dependency loop prevented that
(Remotes depends on Logs.Trust in several ways). So instead, look up
the configuration when building remotes, storing it in the same forcetrust
field used for the command-line trust parameters.
This needs to run git log on the location log files to get at all past
versions of the file, which tends to be a bit slow.
It would be possible to make a version optimised for showing the location
logs for every key. That would only need to run git log once, so would be
faster, but it would need to process an enormous amount of data, so
would not speed up the individual file case.
In the future it would be nice to support log --format. log --json also
doesn't work right yet.
Dotfiles, and files inside dotdirs are not added by "git annex add" unless
the dotfile or directory is explicitly listed. So "git annex add ." will
add all untracked files in the current directory except for those in
dotdirs.
One reason for this is that it will make git-annex more usable with vcsh,
where you don't want "vcsh big annex add" to check in all the dotfiles
that are already versioned in other repositories.
(If you're using vcsh for repos that contain non-dotfiles, this won't help,
and you'll need to .gitignore such things, but this will cover the common
case.)
A more general reason why this seems like a good idea is the same reason ls
ignores dotfiles, just the unix convention that they are cruft that is kept
out of the way most of the time.
All the other git-annex commands still do deal with any dotfiles that do
get into the annex. This seemed right because if I've gone to the trouble
to add a dotfile, I will want "git annex get ." to get it along with
everything else.
