The one exception is in Utility.Daemon. As long as a process only
daemonizes once, which seems reasonable, and as long as it avoids calling
checkDaemon once it's already running as a daemon, the fcntl locking
gotchas won't be a problem there.
Annex.LockFile has it's own separate lock pool layer, which has been
renamed to LockCache. This is a persistent cache of locks that persist
until closed.
This is not quite done; lockContent stil needs to be converted.
Should be no behavior changes, just simplified code.
The only actual difference is it doesn't truncate the lock file.
I think that was a holdover from when transfer info was written to the lock
file.
Only the assistant uses these, and only the assistant cleans them up, so
make only git annex transferkeys write them,
There is one behavior change from this. If glacier is being used, and a
manual git annex get --from glacier fails because the file isn't available
yet, the assistant will no longer later see that failed transfer file and
retry the get. Hope no-one depended on that old behavior.
Avoid using fileSize which maxes out at just 2 gb on Windows.
Instead, use hFileSize, which doesn't have a bounded size.
Fixes support for files > 2 gb on Windows.
Note that the InodeCache code only needs to compare a file size,
so it doesn't matter it the file size wraps. So it has been
left as-is. This was necessary both to avoid invalidating existing inode
caches, and because the code passed FileStatus around and would have become
more expensive if it called getFileSize.

This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
(With the exception of daemon pid locking.)
This fixes at part of #758630. I reproduced the assistant locking eg, a
removable drive's annex journal lock file and forking a long-running
git-cat-file process that inherited that lock.
This did not affect Windows.
Considered doing a portable Utility.LockFile layer, but git-annex uses
posix locks in several special ways that have no direct Windows equivilant,
and it seems like it would mostly be a complication.

Removed old extensible-exceptions, only needed for very old ghc.
Made webdav use Utility.Exception, to work after some changes in DAV's
exception handling.
Removed Annex.Exception. Mostly this was trivial, but note that
tryAnnex is replaced with tryNonAsync and catchAnnex replaced with
catchNonAsync. In theory that could be a behavior change, since the former
caught all exceptions, and the latter don't catch async exceptions.
However, in practice, nothing in the Annex monad uses async exceptions.
Grepping for throwTo and killThread only find stuff in the assistant,
which does not seem related.
Command.Add.undo is changed to accept a SomeException, and things
that use it for rollback now catch non-async exceptions, rather than
only IOExceptions.
For example, I had a copy to a remote that was failing for an unknown
reason. This let me see the exception was createDirectory: permission
denied; the underlying problem being a permissions issue.
Motivation: Hook scripts for nautilus or other file managers
need to provide the user with feedback that a file is being downloaded.
