I now have this topology working:
assistant ---> {bare repo, special remote} <--- assistant
And, I think, also this one:
+----------- bare repo --------+
v v
assistant ---> special remote <--- assistant
While before with assistant <---> assistant connections, both sides got
location info updated after a transfer, in this topology, the bare repo
*might* get its location info updated, but the other assistant has no way to
know that it did. And a special remote doesn't record location info,
so transfers to it won't propigate out location log changes at all.
So, for these to work, after a transfer succeeds, the git-annex branch
needs to be pushed. This is done by recording a synthetic commit has
occurred, which lets the pusher handle pushing out the change (which will
include actually committing any still journalled changes to the git-annex
branch).
Of course, this means rather a lot more syncing action than happened
before. At least the pusher bundles together very close together pushes,
somewhat. Currently it just waits 2 seconds between each push.
I am befuddled that Twitter Bootstrap has no built-in Icon for The Cloud,
and also that Chromium's depiction of CLOUD (U+2601) has an uncanny
resemblance to PILE OF POO (U+1F4A9) when rendered small, and looks like a
looming Frankenstorm when rendered large, and not a sweet, sunny, nothing
can go wrong The Cloud.

So, I must resort to irony in my choice of icons.
Adjust build deps to ensure that only a fixed version of the library will
be used.
Also, removed the bound thread stuff, which I now think was (probably)
a red herring.
MountWatcher can't do this, because it uses the session dbus,
and won't have access to the new DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS if a new session
is started.
Bumped dbus library version, FD leak in it is fixed.
Currently relies on SRV being set, or the JID's hostname being the server
hostname and the port being default. Future work: Allow manual
configuration of user name, hostname, and port.
