Note that this means getopt parsing is done even when not in a git
repository, even though currently cmdnorepo is not passed the results of
it. I'd like to move to cmdnorepo not doing its own ad-hoc option parsing,
so this is really a good thing. (But as long as eg, getOptionFlag needs an
Annex monad, it cannot be used in cmdnorepo handling.)
There is a potential for problems if any cmdnorepo branch of a command
handles options that are not in its regular getopt, but that would be a bug
anyway.
This is needed only because of the new MonadMask needed for bracket
in the new version. Ifdefing it everywhere is not practical, since the
Setup.hs uses it.
The hoary old HTTP library was only used when checking if an url exists,
when curl was not available. It had many problems, including not supporting
https at all.
Now, this is done using http-conduit for all urls that it supports. Falls
back to curl for any url that http-conduit doesn't like (probably ftp etc,
but could also be an url that its parser chokes on for whatever reason).
This adds a new dependency on http-conduit, but webdav support already
indirectly depended on that, and the s3-aws branch also uses it.
This opens up the possibility of using http-conduit for large file
downloads, but for now I've left it using wget/curl.
