* git-lfs: The url provided to initremote/enableremote will now be
stored in the git-annex branch, allowing enableremote to be used without
an url. initremote --sameas can be used to add additional urls.
* git-lfs: When there's a git remote with an url that's known to be
used for git-lfs, automatically enable the special remote.
Code change should be trvial, but not yet implemented. This
significantly complicated the task of documenting how git-annex works.
I'm not sure how useful the annex.gitaddtoannex confguration is after
this change; seems that if a user has an annex.largefiles they will want
it applied consistently. But the last thing I want to hear is more
complaining from users about git add doing something they don't want it
to.
There's a pretty high risk users who got used to the git add behavior
and don't have annex.largefiles configured will miss the NEWS and
complain bitterly about their suddenly bloated repositories. Oh well.
Removed outdated comments about the old behavior to avoid confusion.
I don't know if I've found all the places that griping spread to.
* Automatically convert direct mode repositories to v7 with adjusted
unlocked branches and set annex.thin.
* init: When run on a crippled filesystem with --version=5,
will error out, since version 7 is needed for adjusted unlocked branch.
* direct: This command always errors out as direct mode is no longer
supported.
* indirect: This command has become a deprecated noop.
* proxy: This command is deprecated because it was only needed in direct
mode. (But it continues to work.)
Also removed mentions of direct mode throughough the documentation.
I have not removed all the direct mode code yet.
* merge: When run with a branch parameter, merges from that branch.
This is especially useful when using an adjusted branch, because
it applies the same adjustment to the branch before merging it.
Since v6 is not a usable repo version any longer, it's confusing to have
documentation that refers to it.

Renamed annex.security.allowed-http-addresses to
annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses because it is not really specific to
the http protocol, also limiting eg, git-annex's use of ftp and via
youtube-dl, several other protocols.
The old name for the config will still work.
If both old and new name are set, the new name will win.
* Added mimeencoding= term to annex.largefiles expressions.
This is probably mostly useful to match non-text files with eg
"mimeencoding=binary"
* git-annex matchexpression: Added --mimeencoding option.
