When adding a new version of a file, and annex.genmetadata is enabled,
don't copy the data metadata from the old version of the file, instead use
the mtime of the file. Rationalle being that the user has requested to
generate metadata and so would expect to get the new mtime into metadata.
Also, avoid warning about copying metadata when all the old metadata is
date metadata. Which was rather the harder part.

The pipe's FDs got inherited by ssh and it did something that kept them
open even once it exited. Probably involving passing them on to the ssh
mux daemon.
Set close on exec, and all is well.
Kept Annex.Ssh not using processTranscript even though it no longer
hangs when it does use it, just because processTranscript is overkill
there.

Fix race condition in ssh warmup that caused git-annex to get stuck and
never process some while when run with high levels of concurrency.
So far, I've isolated the problem to processTranscript, which hangs
reading output from ssh in this situation. I don't yet understand why
processTranscript behaves that way.
Since here we don't care about the ssh output, and only want to /dev/null
it, changed to not use processTranscript, avoiding its problem.

Avoid creating transfer info file before transfer lock is created and
locked.
The wrong order for one thing caused transfer info to be overwritten
when a transfer was already in progress.
But worse, it caused checkTransfer to see the transfer info,
and so lock the transfer lock in order to verify the transfer was not in
progress. Which in a concurrent situation, prevented the transferrer
from locking the transfer lock, so it failed with "transfer already in
progress".
Note that the transferinfo command does not lock the transfer lock
before creating the transfer info. But, that's only run after
recvkey is running, and recvkey does lock the transfer lock, so that
seems more or less ok. (Other than being a super complicated legacy mess
that the P2P code has mostly obsoleted now.)

Do not treat parts of the filename that contain punctuation or other
non-alphanumeric characters as extensions. Before, such characters were
filtered out.
Note that in 45308ec78b "foo.ba__________r"
was munged to ".bar" and so incorrectly treated as an extension. That was
fixed by changing the filter order, but not allowing punctuation seems a
better fix.
This assumes that extensions containing punctuation are rare. "_" seems the
most likely character; I used it in ikiwiki "._comment" files. But I can't
recall seeing it anywhere else. It certianly seems that no commonly used
extensions contain punctuation. If git-annex doesn't treat "._comment"
as an extension, it's not likely to break software that expects to see that
extension like some software expects to see .epub or .mp3.

sync: Fix bug that prevented pulling changes into direct mode repositories
that were committed to remotes using git commit rather than git-annex sync.

tips/automatically_adding_metadata/pre-commit-annex: Fix to not silently
skip filenames containing non-ascii characters.
git diff-index defaults to munging non-ascii characters. Using -z makes
it not do that, and then we just change the nulls to newlines.

Added annex.merge-annex-branches config setting which can be used to
disable automatic merge of git-annex branches.
I wonder if git-annex merge/sync/assistant should disable this
setting? Not sure yet, so have not done so. May be that users will not set
it in git config, but pass it via -c to commands that need it.
Checking the config setting adds a very small overhead, but it's
only checked once per command so should be insignificant.

Repositories that are upgraded from before that version to this
one will not break, but will just not see the benefit of the mergedrefs log
speeding things up, until one new ref gets merged in.
