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.

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.
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.
This late night hack session commit was sponsored by Andrea Rota.
Turns out that forkProcess masks async exceptions. Unmask them so that the
daemon code can use them for thread IPC.
There is some risk this introduces breakage in git-annex, but it would be
breakage that would already occur when the assistant was run with
--foreground.
