This way a failure to clean up the main repo dir from a previous pass
can't result in reusing that repo, which won't be configured right for the
current pass.
I saw the installer not defaulting to any installation directory,
and I had to manually enter C:\Program Files\Git
Maybe it was choosing gitInstallDir32, and that was empty? Or the
conditional somehow failed. Simplifying so it will hopefully work again.
This typo would make "git cat-file cat-file" fail, and the way it's used,
I think it broke querying all info from filenames containing newlines,
because the other queries are only run when it succeeds.
Using Logs.RemoteState for this means that if the same key gets uploaded
twice to a git-lfs remote, but somehow has different content the two
times (eg it's an URL key with non-stable content), the sha256/size of
the newer content uploaded will overwrite what was remembered before. That
seems ok; it just means that git-annex will request the newer version of
the content when downloading from git-lfs.
It will remember the sha256 and size if both are not known, or if only
the sha256 is not known but the size is known, it only remembers the
sha256, to avoid wasting space on the size. I did not add special case
for when the sha256 is known and the size is not, because it's been a
long time since git-annex created SHA256 keys without a size.
(See doc/upgrades/SHA_size.mdwn)
The protocol design allows the server to respond with some other object;
if a server for some reason a server did that, it would not be right for
git-annex to download its content. I don't think it would be a security
hole, since git-annex is downloading a specific key and will verify the
key's content. Seems like a good idea to belt-and-suspenders test for
such a misuse of the protocol.
