Actual problem is the keyName was set to "Ref \"sha\"", which led to
this follow-on failure since it contained a space.
The bad data would also get into the export database when exporting to a
non-external special remote. Looking briefly at that, I don't think the bad
data will lead to anything more than a re-upload of the file content
now that the problem has been fixed.

Seems I forgot to fully test that feature when documenting it.
git rev-parse needs a colon after a branch to de-reference the tree
it points to, rather than the commit. But that had it adding an extra
colon when the user specified "branch:subdir". So, check if there is a
colon before adding one.

Windows: Fix reversion that caused the path used to link to annexed
content include the drive letter and full path, rather than being
relative. (`git annex fix` will fix up after this problem).
I've not identified the commit that brought the reversion (probably it
happened this spring when I was removing MisingH and last touched
Utility.Path). Likely commit 18b9a4b8024115db67ae309fdaf54e1553037529?
The problem is that relPathDirToFile got called two paths that had the
slashes different ways around. Since takeDrive includes the first slash,
this made two paths on the same drive seem different and it bailed.
(ifdefs around this to avoid doing extra work on non-windows)

This avoids all the complication about redundant work discussed in
the previous try at fixing this. At the expense of needing each command
that could have the problem to be patched to simply wrap the action in
onlyActionOn once the key is known. But there do not seem to be many
such commands.
onlyActionOn' should not be used with a CommandStart (or CommandPerform),
although the types do allow it. onlyActionOn handles running the whole
CommandStart chain. I couldn't immediately see a way to avoid mistken
use of onlyActionOn'.

After a false start, I found a fairly non-intrusive way to deal with it.
Although it only handles transfers -- there may be issues with eg
concurrent dropping of the same key, or other operations.
There is no added overhead when -J is not used, other than an added
inAnnex check. When -J is used, it has to maintain and check a small
Set, which should be negligible overhead.
It could output some message saying that the transfer is being done by
another thread. Or it could even display the same progress info for both
files that are being downloaded since they have the same content. But I
opted to keep it simple, since this is rather an edge case, so it just
doesn't say anything about the transfer of the file until the other
thread finishes.
Since the deferred transfer action still runs, actions that do more than
transfer content will still get a chance to do their other work. (An
example of something that needs to do such other work is P2P.Annex,
where the download always needs to receive the content from the peer.)
And, if the first thread fails to complete a transfer, the second thread
can resume it.
But, this unfortunately means that there's a risk of redundant work
being done to transfer a key that just got transferred.
That's not ideal, but should never cause breakage; the same
thing can occur when running two separate git-annex processes.
The get/move/copy/mirror --from commands had extra inAnnex checks added,
inside the download actions. Without those checks, the first thread
downloaded the content, and then the second thread woke up and
downloaded the same content redundantly.
move/copy/mirror --to is left doing redundant uploads for now. It
would need a second checkPresent of the remote inside the upload
to avoid them, which would be expensive. A better way to avoid
redundant work needs to be found..

git annex add, git annex lock etc make multiple seek passes,
and each seek pass checked that files existed. That was unncessary
redundant work.
Fixed by adding a new WorkTreeItem type, make seek actions use it,
and check that the files exist when constructing it.

Before, there was a window where interrupting an add could result in the
file being moved into the annex, with no symlink yet created.

when storing files there, since that collection is created by initremote.
(This seems to work around some brokenness of the box.com webdav server
which was entering a redirect loop.)
Note that the fix makes locationParent return Nothing instead of "."
when there's no parent directory between the path and the top of the webdav
repo.

In my git-annex repos, I found some stale transfer info files
without lock files.
Pass a mode to tryLockExclusive, so it will create the lock file if
not present, and so not fail to clean up such transfer info files.
Normally, transfer info files are accompanied by a lock file.
But, when alwaysRunTransfer is used, the locking can fail
and it will still write the transfer info file. Perhaps there are other
cases too? Note that mkProgressUpdater's meter
writes to the transfer info file too, and it might be possible for
that meter to fire after runTransfer has cleaned up.

Fix process and file descriptor leak that was exposed when git-annex was
built with ghc 8.2.1. Apparently ghc has changed its behavior of GC
of open file handles that are pipes to running processes. That
broke git-annex test on OSX due to running out of FDs.
Audited for all uses of Annex.new and made stopCoProcesses be called
once it's done with the state. Fixed several places that might have
leaked in other situations than running the test suite.

While the link seems a valid article on recovering a sqlite database,
it's a stealth advertisement for a commercial product. Every post on

This is similar to the pusher thread, but a separate thread because git
pushes can be done in parallel with exports, and updating a big export
should not prevent other git pushes going out in the meantime.
The exportThread only runs at most every 30 seconds, since updating an
export is more expensive than pushing. This may need to be tuned.
Added a separate channel for export commits; the committer records a
commit in that channel.
Also, reconnectRemotes records a dummy commit, to make the exporter
thread wake up and make sure all exports are up-to-date. So,
connecting a drive with a directory special remote export will
immediately update it, and getting online will automatically
update S3 and WebDAV exports.
The transfer queue is not involved in exports. Instead, failed
exports are retried much like failed pushes.

The bug occurred when closeDb was not called, and garbage collection of
the DbHandle didn't give the workerThread time to shut down. Fixed by
exiting the runSqlite action when a commit is made.
(MultiWriter mode already forked off a runSqlite action, so avoided the
problem.)

Now when one repository has exported a tree, another repository can get
files from the export, after syncing.
There's a bug: While the database update works, somehow the database on
disk does not get updated, and so the database update is run the next
time, etc. Wasn't able to figure out why yet.

New table needed to look up what filenames are used in the currently

There does not seem to be a use case for supporting that, and it would
need a lot of complication to support it in a way that allows eventual
consistency when two repositories are updating the same export.

Not yet called by Command.Export.
WebDAV needs this to clean up empty collections. Also, example.sh turned
out to not be cleaning up directories when removing content
from them, so it made sense for it to use this.
Remote.Directory did not need it, and since its cleanup method for empty
directories is more efficient than what Command.Export will need to do
to find empty directories, it uses Nothing so that extra work can be
avoided.

Apparently box.com renaming is just buggy. I tried a couple of fixes:
* In case the http Manager was opening multiple connections and reaching
different backend servers, I tried limiting the number of connections
to 1. Didn't help.
* To make sure it was not a http connection reuse problem, I tried
rewriting how exportAction works, so that the same http connection
is clearly open. Didn't help.
So, disable renaming of exports for box.com. It would be good to test it
with some other webdav server.

It was not getting old lines removed, because the tree graft confused
the updater, so it union merged from the previous git-annex branch,
which still contained the old lines. Fixed by carefully using setIndexSha.

This basically works, but there's a bug when renaming a file that leaves
a .git-annex-temp-content-key file in the webdav store, that never gets
cleaned up.
Also, exporting files with spaces to box.com seems to fail; perhaps it
does not support it?

In a test, I uploaded a pdf, and several files were derived from it.
After removing the pdf, the derived files went away after approximatly
half an hour. This window does not seem worth warning about every time.
Documented it in the tip.
Removal works, only derives are a potential issue, so allow removing
with a warning. This way, unexporting a file works, and behavior is
consistent with IA remotes whether or not exporttree=yes.
Also tested exporting filenames containing unicode, spaces, underscores.
All worked, despite the IA's faq saying it doesn't.

It opens a http connection per file exported, but then so does git
annex copy --to s3.
Decided not to munge exported filenames for IA. Too large a chance of
the munging having confusing results. Instead, export of files not
supported by IA, eg with spaces in their name, will fail.
