* For url downloads, git-annex now defaults to using a http library,
rather than wget or curl. But, if annex.web-options is set, it will
use curl. To use the .netrc file, run:
git config annex.web-options --netrc
* git-annex no longer uses wget (and wget is no longer shipped with
git-annex builds).
Note that curl is always run in silent mode, since the new API for
download has a MeterUpdate and doesn't make way for curl progress
output. It might be worth writing a parser for curl's progress output
to update the meter when using it, but I didn't bother with this edge
case for now.

git annex testremote passes.
exportree not implemented yet, although the documentation talks about it,
since it will be the main way this remote will be used.
The adb push/pull progress is displayed for now; it would be better
to consume it and use it to update the git-annex progress bar.

When resuming a download and not using a rolling checksummer like rsync,
the partial file we start with might contain garbage, in the case where a
file changed as it was being downloaded. So, disabling verification on
resumes risked a bad object being put into the annex.
Even downloads with rsync are currently affected. It didn't seem worth the
added complexity to special case those to prevent verification, especially
since git-annex is using rsync less often now.

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.

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.

Chose to make this only handle files actively being downloaded, not temp
files for downloads that were interrupted or files that have been fully
downloaded.

Decided not to --ignore-config by default. It the user has something in
their youtube-dl config files that breaks git-annex they can configure
it to use that option.
Added remote configuration settings annex-ignore-command and
annex-sync-command, which are dynamic equivilants of the annex-ignore
and annex-sync configurations.
For this I needed a new DynamicConfig infrastructure. Its implementation
should be as fast as before when there is no dynamic config, and it caches
so shell commands are only run once.
Note that annex-ignore-command exits nonzero when the remote should be ignored.
While that may seem backwards, it allows using the same command for it as
for annex-sync-command when you want to disable both.

Can be used to override the default timestamps used in log files in the
git-annex branch. This is a dangerous environment variable; use with
caution.
Note that this only affects writing to the logs on the git-annex branch.
It is not used for metadata in git commits (other env vars can be set for
that).
There are many other places where timestamps are still used, that don't
get committed to git, but do touch disk. Including regular timestamps
of files, and timestamps embedded in some files in .git/annex/, including
the last fsck timestamp and timestamps in transfer log files.
A good way to find such things in git-annex is to get for getPOSIXTime and
getCurrentTime, although some of the results are of course false positives
that never hit disk (unless git-annex gets swapped out..)
So this commit does NOT necessarily make git-annex comply with some HIPPA
privacy regulations; it's up to the user to determine if they can use it in
a way compliant with such regulations.
Benchmarking: It takes 0.00114 milliseconds to call getEnv
"GIT_ANNEX_VECTOR_CLOCK" when that env var is not set. So, 100 thousand log
files can be written with an added overhead of only 0.114 seconds. That
should be by far swamped by the actual overhead of writing the log files
and making the commit containing them.

* Added annex.resolvemerge configuration, which can be set to false to
disable the usual automatic merge conflict resolution done by git-annex
sync and the assistant.
* sync: Added --no-resolvemerge option.
Note that disabling merge conflict resolution is probably not a good idea
in a direct mode repo or adjusted branch. Since updates to both are done
outside the usual work tree, if it fails the tree is not left in a
conflicted state, and it would be hard to manually resolve the conflict.
Still, made annex.resolvemerge be supported in those cases for consistency.

It takes a single key-value backend, rather than the unncessary and confusing list.
The old option still works if set.
Simplified some old old code too.

This is necessary because as feared, the extra -n parameter that git-annex
passes breaks uses of these environment variables that expect exactly the
parameters that git passes.
For example, see https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/1456
It would of course be possible to pre-close stdin before running ssh so not
needing the -n, and I think that would not even break ssh's password
caching. But it would probably involve a lot of work, possibly would need
to deal with some layering violations, and would be error-prone. The really
clean fix would be to make all the ssh stuff return a CreateProcess, which
could have the handle closed when appropriate, but that would be a large
reworing of the code base.

The former can be useful to make remotes that don't get fully synced with
local changes, which comes up in a lot of situations.
The latter was mostly added for symmetry, but could be useful (though less
likely to be).
Implementing `remote.<name>.annex-pull` was a bit tricky, as there's no one
place where git-annex pulls/fetches from remotes. I audited all
instances of "fetch" and "pull". A few cases were left not checking this
config:
* Git.Repair can try to pull missing refs from a remote, and if the local
repo is corrupted, that seems a reasonable thing to do even though
the config would normally prevent it.
* Assistant.WebApp.Gpg and Remote.Gcrypt and Remote.Git do fetches
as part of the setup process of a remote. The config would probably not
be set then, and having the setup fail seems worse than honoring it if it
is already set.
I have not prevented all the code that does a "merge" from merging branches
from remotes with remote.<name>.annex-pull=false. That could perhaps
be done, but it would need a way to map from branch name to remote name,
and the way refspecs work makes that hard to get really correct. So if the
user fetches manually, the git-annex branch will get merged, for example.
Anther way of looking at/justifying this is that the setting is called
"annex-pull", not "annex-merge".

They are handled close the same as they are by git. However, unlike git,
git-annex sometimes needs to pass the -n parameter when using these.
So, this has the potential for breaking some setup, and perhaps there ought
to be a ANNEX_USE_GIT_SSH=1 needed to use these. But I'd rather avoid that
if possible, so let's see if anyone complains.
Almost all places where "ssh" was run have been changed to support the env
vars. Anything still calling sshOptions does not support them. In
particular, rsync special remotes don't. Seems that annex-rsync-transport
already gives sufficient control there.
(Fixed in passing: Remote.Helper.Ssh.toRepo used to extract
remoteAnnexSshOptions and pass them to sshOptions, which was redundant
since sshOptions also extracts those.)

* init: When annex.securehashesonly has been set with git-annex config,
copy that value to the annex.securehashesonly git config.
* config --set: As well as setting value in git-annex branch,
set local gitconfig. This is needed especially for
annex.securehashesonly, which is read only from local gitconfig and not
the git-annex branch.
doc/todo/sha1_collision_embedding_in_git-annex_keys.mdwn has the
rationalle for doing it this way. There's no perfect solution; this
seems to be the least-bad one.

Even if annex.backends does not include a backend, that does not prevent
git-annex commands from acting on a file using the missing backend.
(There's really no reason at all for annex.backends to be a list.)
* Added post-recieve hook, which makes updateInstead work with direct

.. which can be set to true to make git annex sync default to --content.
This may become the default at some point in the future.
As well as being configuable by git config, it can be configured by
git-annex config to control the default behavior in all clones of a
repository.
Had to add a separate --no-content switch to we can tell if it's been
explicitly set, and should override annex.synccontent. If --content was the
default, this complication would not be necessary.

... to control the default behavior in all clones of a repository.
This includes a new Configurable data type, so the GitConfig type indicates
which values can be configured this way.
The implementation should be quite efficient; the config log is only read
once, and only when a Configurable value has not already been set by
git-config.
Indeed, it would be nice in the future to extend this, so that git-config
is itself only read on demand. Some commands may not need to look at the
git configuration at all.

Any config names can be set using this; git-annex commands will only look
at specific ones that make sense and are worth the overhead of querying the
branch.
This might also be useful for storing whatever other config-type stuff the
user might want to shove into the git-annex branch.

I've long considered the XMPP support in git-annex a wart.
It's nice to remove it.
(This also removes the NetMessager, which was only used for XMPP, and the
daemonstatus's desynced list (likewise).)
Existing XMPP remotes should be ignored by git-annex.

The naming is unofrtunately not consistent, but the gnupg-options
were only used for encrypting, and it's too late to change that.
It would be nice to have a third setting that is always passed to gnupg,
but ~/.gnupg/options can be used to specify such global options when really
needed.
* add, addurl, import, importfeed: When in a v6 repository on a crippled
filesystem, add files unlocked.
* annex.addunlocked: New configuration setting, makes files always be
added unlocked. (v6 only)
The benchmark shows that the database access is quite fast indeed!
And, it scales linearly to the number of keys, with one exception,
getAssociatedKey.
Based on this benchmark, I don't think I need worry about optimising
for cases where all files are locked and the database is mostly empty.
In those cases, database access will be misses, and according to this
benchmark, should add only 50 milliseconds to runtime.
(NB: There may be some overhead to getting the database opened and locking
the handle that this benchmark doesn't see.)

Decided it's too scary to make v6 unlocked files have 1 copy by default,
but that should be available to those who need it. This is consistent with
git-annex not dropping unused content without --force, etc.
* Added annex.thin setting, which makes unlocked files in v6 repositories
be hard linked to their content, instead of a copy. This saves disk
space but means any modification of an unlocked file will lose the local
(and possibly only) copy of the old version.
* Enable annex.thin by default on upgrade from direct mode to v6, since
direct mode made the same tradeoff.
* fix: Adjusts unlocked files as configured by annex.thin.
The git filter config can be used to map the single git-annex command to
the 2 actions, and this avoids "git annex clean" being used for this thing,
it might have a better use for that name later.
importfeed just calls addurl functions, so inherits this from it.
Note that addurl still generates a temp file, and uses that key to download
the file. It just adds it to the work tree at the end when the file is small.
