Do not treat parts of the filename that contain punctuation or other
non-alphanumeric characters as extensions. Before, such characters were
filtered out.
Note that in 45308ec78b "foo.ba__________r"
was munged to ".bar" and so incorrectly treated as an extension. That was
fixed by changing the filter order, but not allowing punctuation seems a
better fix.
This assumes that extensions containing punctuation are rare. "_" seems the
most likely character; I used it in ikiwiki "._comment" files. But I can't
recall seeing it anywhere else. It certianly seems that no commonly used
extensions contain punctuation. If git-annex doesn't treat "._comment"
as an extension, it's not likely to break software that expects to see that
extension like some software expects to see .epub or .mp3.

sync: Fix bug that prevented pulling changes into direct mode repositories
that were committed to remotes using git commit rather than git-annex sync.

tips/automatically_adding_metadata/pre-commit-annex: Fix to not silently
skip filenames containing non-ascii characters.
git diff-index defaults to munging non-ascii characters. Using -z makes
it not do that, and then we just change the nulls to newlines.

Added annex.merge-annex-branches config setting which can be used to
disable automatic merge of git-annex branches.
I wonder if git-annex merge/sync/assistant should disable this
setting? Not sure yet, so have not done so. May be that users will not set
it in git config, but pass it via -c to commands that need it.
Checking the config setting adds a very small overhead, but it's
only checked once per command so should be insignificant.

Repositories that are upgraded from before that version to this
one will not break, but will just not see the benefit of the mergedrefs log
speeding things up, until one new ref gets merged in.
Added remote.<name>.annex-checkuuid config, which can be set to false to
disable the default checking of the uuid of remotes that point to
directories. This can be useful to avoid unncessary drive spin-ups and
automounting.
Note that the UUID check is still done before writing to the repository,
to avoid writing to the wrong repository if it got relocated. Check is
also done before checkPresent to avoid getting confused about what is in
which repo. This is effectively the same as the use of git-annex-shell
with a uuid to check that the remote repository is the expected one.
Did not bother with the check for retrieveKeyFile because it doesn't
matter if the wrong repo is used then.
