This option is not specific to sync, so it seemed it should be in either
pull or push as well as sync. Since it does modify the remote, it seems
better to have it in push; the modification of the local repo pulls in
the direction of pull, but not hard enough.
Maybe it would be better to have it in both?

I anticipate that if sync is transitioned to syncing content by default,
people will want a short option. And in repositories where
annex.synccontent = true, they already would. And pull and push sync
content by default, so a short option is useful with them too.
Mnemonic: -g makes only git data be synced
Also, -a makes only annex data be synced.
Would have preferred -c, which would complement -C, but it
was already taken to set git configs.

Split out two new commands, git-annex pull and git-annex push. Those plus a
git commit are equivilant to git-annex sync.
In a sense, git-annex sync conflates 3 things, and it would have been
better to have push and pull from the beginning and not sync. Although
note that git-annex sync --content is faster than a pull followed by a
push, because it only has to walk the tree once, look at preferred
content once, etc. So there is some value in git-annex sync in speed, as
well as user convenience.
And it would be hard to split out pull and push from sync, as far as the
implementaton goes. The implementation inside sync was easy, just adjust
SyncOptions so it does the right thing.
Note that the new commands default to syncing content, unless
annex.synccontent is explicitly set to false. I'd like sync to also do
that, but that's a hard transition to make. As a start to that
transition, I added a note to git-annex-sync.mdwn that it may start to
do so in a future version of git-annex. But a real transition would
necessarily involve displaying warnings when sync is used without
--content, and time.

The man page is somewhat vague about this, but I do think it was a bug
that these options didn't alreay behave that way. The options are
documented to disable imports and exports, which is the same operations
just with a special remote that uses trees.
The real motivation for this is that I'm adding git-annex pull and
git-annex push, and I want these options to turn off the equivilant of
those commands. And git-annex pull will certianly download and push
upload.

When a nonexistant file is passed to a command and --json-error-messages
is enabled, output a JSON object indicating the problem.
(But git ls-files --error-unmatch still displays errors about such files in
some situations.)
I don't like the duplication of the name of the command introduced by this,
but I can't see a great way around it. One way would be to pass the Command
instead.
When json is not enabled, the stderr is unchanged. This is necessary
because some commands like find have custom output. So dislaying
"find foo not found" would be wrong. So had to complicate things with
toplevelFileProblem having different output with and without json.
When not using --json-error-messages but still using --json, it displays
the error to stderr, but does display a json object without the error. It
does have an errorid though. Unsure how useful that behavior is.

This does, as a side effect, make long notes in json output not

Converted warning and similar to use StringContainingQuotedPath. Most
warnings are static strings, some do refer to filepaths that need to be
quoted, and others don't need quoting.
Note that, since quote filters out control characters of even
UnquotedString, this makes all warnings safe, even when an attacker
sneaks in a control character in some other way.
When json is being output, no quoting is done, since json gets its own
quoting.
This does, as a side effect, make warning messages in json output not
be indented. The indentation is only needed to offset warning messages
underneath the display of the file they apply to, so that's ok.

Such an url is not valid; parseURI will fail on it. But git-annex doesn't
actually need to parse the url, because all it needs to do to support
syncing with it is know that it's not a local path, and use git pull and
push.
(Note that there is no good reason for the user to use such an url. An
absolute url is valid and I patched git-remote-gcrypt to support them
years ago. Still, users gonna do anything that tools allow, and
git-remote-gcrypt still supports them.)

When generating the view, check if the key is present.
When syncing in a view branch with an adjustment, run adjustedBranchRefreshFull
the same as is done when syncing in other adjusted branches. This is
needed because the docs for git-annex adjust --unlock-present suggest
using git-annex sync to update the branch when annex.adjustedbranchrefresh
is not set.
Note that, with annex.adjustedbranchrefresh set, it just works! The
adjusted branch gets updated in the usual way and it doesn't matter that
there's a view branch underneath.
And of course, re-running git-annex adjut --unlock-present also works,
as suggested in the docs.

An adjusted view branch has a name like
"refs/heads/adjusted/views/master(author=_)(unlocked)", so it is a view
branch that has been converted to an adjusted branch.
Made Logs.View support such branch names. So now git-annex sync and
pre-commit handle updating metadata on commit in such a branch.
Much remains to be done to fully support adjusted view branches,
including actually applying the adjustment when updating the view branch.

* sync: Avoid pushing view branches to remotes.
* Changed the name of view branches to include the parent branch.
Existing view branches checked out using an old name will still work.
It does not seem useful for sync to push view branches around, because
the information in a view branch can entirely be derived from other
information in git. And sync doesn't push adjusted branches around either.
The better view branch names make it more in line with adjusted branch
names, but were also needed to make fromViewBranch be able to return the
original branch name.
Kept the old view branch names still working. But, when those branches
exist in a repo, sync will still try to push them as before. Avoiding
that would need more complicated and/or expensive changes to sync.

Use separate stages for download and upload. In the common case where
it downloads the file from one remote and then uploads to the other,
those are by far the most expensive operations, and there's a decent
chance the two remotes bottleneck on different resources.
Suppose it's being run with -J2 and a bunch of 10 mb files. Two threads
will be started both downloading from the src remote. They will probably
finish at the same time. Then two threads will be started uploading to
the dst remote. They will probably take the same time as well. Before
this change, it would alternate back and forth, bottlenecking on src and dst.
With this change, as soon as the two threads start uploading to dst, two
more threads are able to start, downloading from src. So bandwidth to
both remotes is saturated more often.
Other commands that use transferStages only send in one direction at a
time. So the worker threads for the other direction will sit idle, and
there will be no change in their behavior.

--backend is no longer a global option, and is only accepted by commands
that actually need it.
Three commands that used to support backend but don't any longer are
watch, webapp, and assistant. It would be possible to make them support it,
but I doubt anyone used the option with these. And in the case of webapp
and assistant, the option was handled inconsistently, only taking affect
when the command is run with an existing git-annex repo, not when it
creates a new one.
Also, renamed GlobalOption etc to AnnexOption. Because there are many
options of this type that are not actually global (any more) and get
added to commands that need them.

sync: Better error message when unable to export to a remote because
remote.name.annex-tracking-branch is configured to a ref that does not
exist.
It does not suggest how to fix the problem because there are several
possible solutions: Change the git config to point to something that does
exist, git add some files, or put files on the special remote that will be
imported and so populate the ref.
I considered just silently not doing anything, which is what it does
when annex-tracking-branch = master and nothing has been committed to
master yet. But it seems better to be explicit about it, since this is a
fairly confusing situation to find yourself in.

sync --content: Avoid a redundant checksum of a file that was
incrementally verified, when used on NTFS and perhaps other filesystems.
When sync has just gotten the content, it does not need to check inAnnex a
second time. On NTFS, for some reason the write of the inode cache after
it gets the content is not immediately able to be read, and with an
empty/non-matching inode cache due to that stale data, inAnnex falls back
to hashing the whole object to determine if it's present.

sync, merge, post-receive: Avoid merging unrelated histories, which used to
be allowed only to support direct mode repositories.
(However, sync does still merge unrelated histories when importing trees
from special remotes, and the assistant still merges unrelated histories
always.)
See 556b2ded2b for why this was added
back in 2016, for direct mode.
This is a behavior change, which might break something that was relying
on sync merging unrelated histories, but git had a good reason to
prevent it, since it's easy to foot shoot with it, and git-annex should
follow suit.

sync: Partly work around github behavior that first branch to be pushed to
a new repository is assumed to be the head branch, by not pushing
synced/git-annex first.
github expects master (or whatever the name is) to be pushed first, but
git-annex sync can't, because it's got to also support pushes to non-bare
repos where pushing master fails, as explained in the big comment. So
pushing synced/master is not entirely a fix, but at least it makes github
default to a branch with the stuff the user expects in it, not a bunch of
annex log files.
Aside from fixing github to not make this assumption, or improving
the git push protocol to include what the current HEAD is, the only other
approach I can think of is to identify git push's progress messages and
display those when pushing master, while filtering out error messages
about non-fast-forward etc. But git doesn't provide a way to separate out
or identify its progress messages.

import: When the previously exported tree contained a submodule,
preserve it in the imported tree so it does not get deleted.
The export exclude log, which was used for non-preferred content,
now also includes the submodules. Since the log format is git ls-tree
output, this does not break backwards compatibility.
May actually work now.
Note that, importKey now has to add the size to the key if it's supposed
to have size. Remote.Directory relied on the importer adding the size,
which is no longer done, so it was changed; it was the only one.
This way, importKey does not need to behave differently between regular
and thirdpartypopulated imports.
These don't have importTree in their config, because they don't support
tree import, but they do still support import, and do not support export
or key/value modification.
This is to support, eg a borg repo as a special remote, which is
populated not by running git-annex commands, but by using borg. Then
git-annex sync lists the content of the remote, learns which files are
annex objects, and treats those as present in the remote.
So, most of the import machinery is reused, to a new purpose. While
normally importtree maintains a remote tracking branch, this does not,
because the files stored in the remote are annex object files, not
user-visible filenames. But, internally, a git tree is still generated,
of the files on the remote that are annex objects. This tree is used
by retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier, etc. As with other import/export
remotes, that the tree is recorded in the export log, and gets grafted
into the git-annex branch.
importKey changed to be able to return Nothing, to indicate when an
ImportLocation is not an annex object and so should be skipped from
being included in the tree.
It did not seem to make sense to have git-annex import do this, since
from the user's perspective, it's not like other imports. So only
git-annex sync does it.
Note that, git-annex sync does not yet download objects from such
remotes that are preferred content. importKeys is run with
content downloading disabled, to avoid getting the content of all
objects. Perhaps what's needed is for seekSyncContent to be run with these
remotes, but I don't know if it will just work (in particular, it needs
to avoid trying to transfer objects to them), so I skipped that for now.
(Untested and unused as of yet.)

Don't want to try to use these remotes as key/value remotes, which will

Added annex.adjustedbranchrefresh git config to update adjusted branches
set up by git-annex adjust --unlock-present/--hide-missing.
Note, in a few cases, I was not able to make the adjusted branch
be updated in calls to moveAnnex, because information about what
file corresponds to a key is not available. They are:
* If two files point to one file, then eg, `git annex get foo` will
update the branch to unlock foo, but will not unlock bar, because it
does not know about it. Might be fixable by making `git annex get
bar` do something besides skipping bar?
* git-annex-shell recvkey likewise (so sends over ssh from old versions
of git-annex)
* git-annex setkey
* git-annex transferkey if the user does not use --file
* git-annex multicast sends keys with no associated file info
Doing a single full refresh at the end, after any incremental refresh,
will deal with those edge cases.
It seemed best to do this, for consistency with every other way files can
get into a git-annex repo. Although it's just a bit strange that a local
.gitignore file affects the pseudo-commits made for the remote that's
imported from.

sync: When run without --content, import without copying from
importtree=yes directory special remotes. (Other special remotes may
support this later as well.)
This commit was sponsored by Svenne Krap on Patreon.
This avoids import with --no-content and with --content potentially
generating two different trees, leading to a merge conflict when run in
two different clones of a repo. And it's necessary groundwork to make
git-annex sync --no-content import from special remotes that support
importKey.
Only the directory special remote currently supports importKey, and it
generates the same key as git-annex usually does, so there is no
behavior change for it.
Future special remotes will need to take care when adding importKey,
if it generates different keys. Added some warnings about that to
comments.
