Debian stable's warp-tls is too old to support the new https feature well,
so only use http with that old version.
Note that the webapp still depends on warp-tls, because the TLSSettings
type is used.
(And a vpop command, which is still a bit buggy.)
Still need to do vadd and vrm, though this also adds their documentation.
Currently not very happy with the view log data serialization. I had to
lose the TDFA regexps temporarily, so I can have Read/Show instances of
View. I expect the view log format will change in some incompatable way
later, probably adding last known refs for the parent branch to View
or something like that.
Anyway, it basically works, although it's a bit slow looking up the
metadata. The actual git branch construction is about as fast as it can be
using the current git plumbing.

Promosing work toward metadata driven filter branches. A few methods
to construct them are stubbed out; all the data types and pure code
seems good.

The ctrl-c hack used before didn't actually seem to work.
No haskell libraries expose TerminateProcess. I tried just calling it via
FFI, but got segfaults, probably to do with the wacky process handle not
being managed correctly. Moving it all into one C function worked.
This was hell. The EvilLinker hack was just final icing on the cake.
We all know what the cake was made of.
A very haskell commit! Just data types, instances to serialize the metadata
to a nice format, and QuickCheck tests.

git-annex has been using MissingH's `abdNormPath` forever, but that's
unmaintained and possibly buggy, and doesn't work on Windows. I've been
wanting to get rid of it for some time, and finally did today, writing a
`simplifyPath` that does the things git-annex needs and will work with all
the Windows filename craziness, and takes advantage of the more modern
System.FilePath to be quite a simple peice of code. A QuickCheck test found
no important divergences from absNormPath. A good first step to making
git-annex not depend on MissingH at all.
And it fixed some weird behaviors on Windows like
`git annex add ..\subdir\file` not working.
Note that absNormPathUnix has been left alone for now.
Seems I punted on this while porting before. This hack relies on DOS not
using / in filenames, it's effectively an alternate path separatr in at
least current versions of windows..
Potentially fixes some FD leak if an action on an opened file handle fails
for some reason. There have been some hard to reproduce reports of
git-annex leaking FDs, and this may solve them.
So that remotes that use a persistent network connection are restarted.
A remote might keep open a long duration network connection, and could
fail to deal well with losing the connection. This is particularly a
concern now that we have external special reotes. An external
special remote that is implemented naively might open the connection only
when PREPARE is sent, and if it loses connection, throw errors on each
request that is made.
(Note that the ssh connection caching should not have this problem; if the
long-duration ssh process loses connection, the named pipe is disconnected
and the next ssh attempt will reconnect. Also, XMPP already deals with
disconnection robustly in its own way.)
There's no way for git-annex to know if a lost network connection actually
affects a given remote, which might have a transfer in process. It does not
make sense to force kill the transferkeys process every time the NetWatcher
detects a change. (Especially because the NetWatcher sometimes polls 1
change per hour.)
In any case, the NetWatcher only detects connection to a network, not
disconnection. So if a transfer is in progress over the network, and the
network goes down, that will need to time out on its own.
An alternate approch that was considered is to use a separate transferkeys
process for each remote, and detect when a request fails, and assume that
means that process is in a failing state and restart it. The problem with
that approach is that if a resource is not available and a remote fails
every time, it degrades to starting a new transferkeys process for every
file transfer, which is too expensive.
Instead, this commit only handles the network reconnection case, and restarts
transferkeys only once the network has reconnected and another transfer needs
to be made. So, a transferkeys process will be reused for 1 hour, or until the
next network connection.

The NotificationBroadcaster was rewritten to use TMVars rather than MSampleVars,
to allow checking without blocking if a notification has been received.
