This does not improve Annex.Branch.files at all, since it still uses ++ to
combine the lists, so forcing all but the last one.
But when there are a lot of files in the private journal, it does avoid
--all (or a bare repo) from buffering the filenames in memory.
See commit 653b719472 for prior discussion of
this buffering.

importfeed: Use caching database to avoid needing to list urls on every
run, and avoid using too much memory.
Benchmarking in my podcasts repo, importfeed got 1.42 seconds faster,
and memory use dropped from 203000k to 59408k.
Database.ImportFeed is Database.ContentIdentifier with the serial number
filed off. There is a bit of code duplication I would like to avoid,
particularly recordAnnexBranchTree, and getAnnexBranchTree. But these use
the persistent sqlite tables, so despite the code being the same, they
cannot be factored out.
Since this database includes the contentidentifier metadata, it will be
slightly redundant if a sqlite database is ever added for metadata. I
did consider making such a generic database and using it for this. But,
that would then need importfeed to update both the url database and the
metadata database, which is twice as much work diffing the git-annex
branch trees. Or would entagle updating two databases in a complex way.
So instead it seems better to optimise the database that
importfeed needs, and if the metadata database is used by another command,
use a little more disk space and do a little bit of redundant work to
update it.

The tricky thing about this turned out to be handling renames and reverts.
For that, it has to make two passes over the git log, and to avoid
buffering a possibly huge amount of logs in memory (ie the whole git log of
an entire repository!), runs git log twice.
(It might be possible to speed this up by asking git log to show a diff,
and so avoid needing to use catKey.)

Removed the dontCheck repoExists, because running it in a repo that has not
been initialized yet would update location log with nouuid. And I guess
it's ok for it to only support running in git-annex repos.
Only display warning when git-annex sync (without --content or
--no-content) is used with repositories that have preferred content
configured.

I considered a more wide-ranging config option to make other commands
also show dead repositories. But it would be difficult to implement that
because Remote.keyLocations is used to get locations, filtering out dead
repos, and commands like get then try to use those locations. So a config
setting would make dead repos sometimes be acted on by commands.

Using == and != proved too hard to read, so went with [TRUE] and [FALSE]
after the term. I would kind of liked to have used emojis for a green
check and red X, but probably that is too fancy to be a good idea.
Make --explain output be inside [ ] with whitespace around them, to
avoid it ending with eg "[FALSE]]" and to make it easier to visually
find the start of it.

This ended up having an interface like sync, rather than like get/copy/drop.
That let it be implemented in terms of sync, which took a lot less code.
Also, it lets it handle many of the edge cases that sync does, such as
getting files that are not visible in a --hide-missing branch, and sending
files to exporttree remotes.
As well as being easier to implement, `git-annex satisfy myremote` makes
sense as it satisfies the preferred content settings of the remote.
`git-annex satisfy somefile` does not form a sentence that makes sense. So
while -C can be a little bit annoying, it still makes sense to have this
syntax.
Note that, while I initially thought this would also satisfy numcopies, it
does not. Arguably it ought to. But, sync does not send files in order to
satisfy numcopies, it only sends files to satisfy preferred content. And
it's important that this transfer the same files as sync does, because
it will probably be used in a workflow where the user sometimes syncs and
sometimes satisfies, and does not expect satisfy to do things that sync
would not do.
(Also opened a new bug that also affects sync et all, not only this command.)

This was already possible, but it was rather hard to come up with the
complex shell command needed.
Note that the diff output starts with "diff a/... b/...".
I left off the "--git" because it's not a git format diff.
* config: Added the --show-origin and --for-file options.
* config: Support annex.numcopies and annex.mincopies.
There is a little bit of redundancy here with other code elsewhere that
combines the various configs and selects which to use. But really only
for the special case of annex.numcopies, which is a git config that does
not override the annex branch setting and for annex.mincopies, which does
not have a git config but does have gitattributes settings as well as the
annex branch setting.
That seems small enough, and unlikely enough to grow into a mess that it was
worth supporting annex.numcopies and annex.mincopies in git-annex config
--show-origin. Because these settings are a prime thing that someone might
get confused about and want to know where they were configured.
And, it followed that git-annex config might as well support those two
for --set and --get as well. While this is redundant with the speclialized
commands, it's only a little code and it makes it more consistent.
Note that --set does not have as nice output as numcopies/mincopies
commands in some special cases like setting to 0 or a negative number.
It does avoid setting to a bad value thanks to the smart
constructors (eg configuredNumCopies).
As for other git-annex branch configurations that are not set by git-annex
config, things like trust and wanted that are specific to a repository
don't map to a git config name, so don't really fit into git-annex config.
And they are only configured in the git-annex branch with no local override
(at least so far), so --show-origin would not be useful for them.

Large speed up to importing trees from special remotes that contain a lot
of files, by only processing changed files.
Benchmarks:
Importing from a special remote that has 10000 files, that have all been
imported before, and 1 new file sped up from 26.06 to 2.59 seconds.
An import with no change and 10000 unchanged files sped up from 24.3 to
1.99 seconds.
Going up to 20000 files, an import with no changes sped up from
125.95 to 3.84 seconds.

Consistency with sync and internal consistency is more important than
consistency with the assistant, which is not itself consistent about
what it does when run in a subdirectory.
Note that with -C, it will still commit staged changes to files outside
the directory. Like sync does. Presumably if the user is manually
staging things, then running this command, they intend to build up a
commit.

assist: New command, which is the same as git-annex sync but with
new files added and content transferred by default.
(Also this fixes another reversion in git-annex sync,
--commit --no-commit, and --message were not enabled, oops.)
See added comment for why git-annex assist does commit staged
changes elsewhere in the work tree, but only adds files under
the cwd.
Note that it does not support --no-commit, --no-push, --no-pull
like sync does. My thinking is, why should it? If you want that
level of control, use git commit, git annex push, git annex pull.
Sync only got those options because pull and push were not split
out.
