There are two types of equality here, and which one is right varies,
so this forces me to consider and choose between them.
Based on this, I learned that the commit in git anex sync was
always doing a strong comparison, even when in a repository where
the inodes had changed. Fixed that.

The comments correctly noted that the remote could drop the key and
yet False be returned due to some problem that occurred afterwards.
For example, if it's a network remote, it could drop the key just
as the network goes down, and so things timeout and a nonzero exit
from ssh is propigated through and False returned.
However... Most of the time, this scenario will not have happened.
False will mean the remote was not available or could not drop the key
at all.
So, instead of assuming the worst, just trust the status we have.
If we get it wrong, and the scenario above happened, our location
log will think the remote has the key. But the remote's location
log (assuming it has one) will know it dropped it, and the next sync
will regain consistency.
For a special remote, with no location log, our location log will be wrong,
but this is no different than the situation where someone else dropped
the key from the remote and we've not synced with them. The standard
paranoia about not trusting the location log to be the last word about
whether a remote has a key will save us from these situations. Ie,
if we try to drop the file, we'll actively check the remote,
and determine the inconsistency then.
This cleaned up the code quite a bit; now the committer just looks at the
Change to see if it's a change that needs to have a transfer queued for it.
If I later want to add dropping keys for files that were removed, or
something like that, this should make it straightforward.
This also fixes a bug. In direct mode, moving a file out of an archive
directory failed to start a transfer to get its content. The problem
was that the file had not been committed to git yet, and so the transfer
code didn't want to touch it, since fileKey failed to get its key.
Only starting transfers after a commit avoids this problem.
This got broken in commit e9238e9588.
I observed a key that had been copied to a remote, but the location
log was out of date, and due to this bug, git annex transferkey failed
and so the file could not be dropped when it was moved to an archive
directory.
<joeyh> anyone know why runghc Setup.hs is behaving differently than cabal configure for me?
<joeyh> I'm getting different flags selected
<geekosaur> joeyh, runghc Setup.hs uses --global by default
<geekosaur> cabal uses --local
<nomeata> joeyh: I don’t know the reasons, but I have made similar observations as well
<geekosaur> and if that means different libraries/versions visible, that can affect flag solving
<joeyh> aha!
<monochrom> it is because Cabal authors expect normal people to use cabal-install and linux distro creators to use Setup
<monochrom> the expectation is documented nowhere
