The assistant's commit code also always avoids git commit, for simplicity.
Indirect mode sync still does a git commit -a to catch unstaged changes.
Note that this means that direct mode sync no longer runs the pre-commit
hook or any other hooks git commit might call. The git annex pre-commit
hook action for direct mode is however explicitly run. (The assistant
already ran git commit with hooks disabled, so no change there.)
0980f3dae6 broke support for local remotes
from direct mode repos, because the relative path was taken to be from the
gitdir, rather than from the work tree.
This works around horribleness in the Mavericks cpp, which falls over on
the #if when configure is running. Moving it avoids the file being built at
that point.
But it's also a location that makes sense..
Because that allowed writing to symlinks of files that are not present,
which followed the link and put bad content in an object location.

This works for both direct and indirect mode.
It may need some performance tuning.
Note that unlike git status, it only shows the status of the work tree, not
the status of the index. So only one status letter, not two .. and since
files that have been added and not yet committed do not differ between the
work tree and the index, they are not shown. Might want to add display of
the index vs the last commit eventually.

Now that direct mode sets core.bare=true, git's normal prohibition about
pushing into the currently checked out branch doesn't work.
A simple fix for this would be an update hook which blocks the pushes..
but git hooks must be executable, and git-annex needs to be usable on eg,
FAT, which lacks x bits.
Instead, enabling direct mode switches the branch (eg master) to a special
purpose branch (eg annex/direct/master). This branch is not pushed when
syncing; instead any changes that git annex sync commits get written to
master, and it's pushed (along with synced/master) to the remote.
Note that initialization has been changed to always call setDirect,
even if it's just setDirect False for indirect mode. This is needed because
if the user has just cloned a direct mode repo, that nothing has synced
with before, it may have no master branch, and only a annex/direct/master.
Resulting in that branch being checked out locally too. Calling setDirect False
for indirect mode moves back out of this branch, to a new master branch,
and ensures that a manual "git push" doesn't push changes directly to
the annex/direct/master of the remote. (It's possible that the user
makes a commit w/o using git-annex and pushes it, but nothing I can do
about that really.)

This guarantees that stopping an existing socket never fails.
This might be the route out of the mess of needing to worry about socket
lengths in general. However, it would need quite a lot of refactoring
to make every place in git-annex that runs ssh run it with a cwd that was
determined by the location of its connection caching socket. If this
wasn't already such a mess, I'd consider even the thought of that API a bad
idea..
The control socket path passed to ssh needs to be 17 characters shorter
than the maximum unix domain socket length, because ssh appends stuff to it
to make a temporary filename. Closes: #725512
Also, take the shorter of the relative and the absolute paths to the
socket. Typically the relative path will be a lot shorter (unless
deep inside a subdirectory of the repository), and so using it will
avoid flirting with the maximum safe socket lenghts in more situations,
and so lead to less breakage if all my attempts at fixing this are
still buggy.
My implementation does not guard against double locking of the journal. But
it does ensure that the journal is always locked when operated on, by using
a type that is only produced by lockJournal, and which is required as a
parameter of all functions that operate on the journal.
Note that I had to add the fooStale functions for cases where it does not
make sense to lock the journal when querying it. I was more concerned about
ensuring that anything that modifies the journal is locked.
setJournalFile's implementation ensures that any query of the journal will
get one value or the other atomically, even if the journal is being changed
at the time.
This may not strictly be needed -- the transition code bypasses the
journal. However, this ensures that the git-annex branch is only
committed with the journal locked. This will allow for further
improvements.
Overridable with --user-agent option.
Not yet done for S3 or WebDAV due to limitations of libraries used --
nether allows a user-agent header to be specified.

Since 006cf7976f was incomplete, not being
able to get the right mode of the file when the index differs from HEAD,
this is a final workaround. Only buffering the start of the file
in this case avoids leaking memory.
This does not prevent git-cat-file being asked to output the whole file,
which needs to be consumed, and can be slow. But this only happens in a
rare edge case.
Done using a mode witness, which ensures it's fixed everywhere.
Fixing catFileKey was a bear, because git cat-file does not provide a
nice way to query for the mode of a file and there is no other efficient
way to do it. Oh, for libgit2..
Note that I am looking at tree objects from HEAD, rather than the index.
Because I cat-file cannot show a tree object for the index.
So this fix is technically incomplete. The only cases where it matters
are:
1. A new large file has been directly staged in git, but not committed.
2. A file that was committed to HEAD as a symlink has been staged
directly in the index.
This could be fixed a lot better using libgit2.
The second commit had some bad refs which resulted in the race detection
code running. But that commit was unnecessary anyway, it only was there to
merge in the other refs.
Wrote nice pure transition calculator, and ugly code to stage its results
into the git-annex branch. Also had to split up several Log modules
that Annex.Branch needed to use, but that themselves used Annex.Branch.
The transition calculator is limited to looking at and changing one file at
a time. While this made the implementation relatively easy, it precludes
transitions that do stuff like deleting old url log files for keys that are
being removed because they are no longer present anywhere.
