In my git-annex repos, I found some stale transfer info files
without lock files.
Pass a mode to tryLockExclusive, so it will create the lock file if
not present, and so not fail to clean up such transfer info files.
Normally, transfer info files are accompanied by a lock file.
But, when alwaysRunTransfer is used, the locking can fail
and it will still write the transfer info file. Perhaps there are other
cases too? Note that mkProgressUpdater's meter
writes to the transfer info file too, and it might be possible for
that meter to fire after runTransfer has cleaned up.

While the link seems a valid article on recovering a sqlite database,
it's a stealth advertisement for a commercial product. Every post on
that blog is such a stealth advertisement.
Also, the question in this forum post has already been adequatly
answered.
So, I suspect this was a spamming attempt.
Added remote configuration settings annex-ignore-command and
annex-sync-command, which are dynamic equivilants of the annex-ignore
and annex-sync configurations.
For this I needed a new DynamicConfig infrastructure. Its implementation
should be as fast as before when there is no dynamic config, and it caches
so shell commands are only run once.
Note that annex-ignore-command exits nonzero when the remote should be ignored.
While that may seem backwards, it allows using the same command for it as
for annex-sync-command when you want to disable both.
