The test suite contains its own tests that test a lot of basic stuff
about git remotes, mostly in passing to set up other situations.
But testremote does try some unusual edge cases, which may as
well be tried for git remotes as well as directory, especially since
it's so little code to add it.

In addition to regular file deletions, the removefiles argument passed
to adjustTree may contain removed submodules. When making the new
tree, filter these out in the same way that is done for regular files
so that the deletion is propagated.
Since that can lead to data loss, which should never be enabled by an
option other than --force.
I suppose that using --trust was in some situation, safer than --force,
because it doesn't entirely disable checking for data loss, but only
disables checking involving data that is on the specified repository.
But it seems better to be able to say that data loss only happens with
--force.

Since unconsidered use of trusted repositories can lead to data loss.
Trusted has always been this way, but it used to be acceptable for
git-annex to be set up so that data could be lost without using --force,
and most or all other ways that can happen have already been eliminated.

This is conceptually very simple, just making a 1 that was hard coded be
exposed as a config option. The hard part was plumbing all that, and
dealing with complexities like reading it from git attributes at the
same time that numcopies is read.
Behavior change: When numcopies is set to 0, git-annex used to drop
content without requiring any copies. Now to get that (highly unsafe)
behavior, mincopies also needs to be set to 0. It seemed better to
remove that edge case, than complicate mincopies by ignoring it when
numcopies is 0.

It got broken in several ways by the streaming seeking optimisations
around version 8.20201007.
Moved time limit checking out of the matcher, which was a hack in the
first place. So everywhere that uses Limit.getMatcher needs to check
time limit. Well, almost everywhere. Command.Info uses it, but it does
not make sense to time limit getting info. And Command.MultiCast uses it
just to build up a list of files that then get passed to a command, so
it would never have hit the timeout in a useful way.
This implementation is a little more expensive when at time limit than
necessary, since it continues seeking only to discard everything after the
time limit. I did try making it close the file handles to force a faster
shutdown, but that didn't work and hung. Could certianly be improved
somehow, but seeking is probably not the expensive bit when a time limit
is hit, so this seems acceptable for now.
* add: Significantly speed up adding lots of non-large files to git,
by disabling the annex smudge filter when running git add.
* add --force-small: Run git add rather than updating the index itself,
so any other smudge filters than the annex one that may be enabled will
be used.
I don't think this affected git-annex currently, but if the same command
was queued twice with different params, one set of params was thrown
away, and the files going with those were run with the other set of
params.
