Note the use of fromString and toString from Data.ByteString.UTF8 dated
back to commit 9b93278e8a. Back then it
was using the dataenc package for base64, which operated on Word8 and
String. But with the switch to sandi, it uses ByteString, and indeed
fromB64' and toB64' were already using ByteString without that
complication. So I think there is no risk of such an encoding related
breakage.
I also tested the case that 9b93278e8a
fixed:
git-annex metadata -s foo='a …' x
git-annex metadata x
metadata x
foo=a …
In Remote.Helper.Encryptable, it was avoiding using Utility.Base64
because of that UTF8 conversion. Since that's no longer done, it can
just use it now.
It changed parseOnly in the ByteString.Lazy module to take a lazy, not
strict ByteString. In all these cases though, we actually had a strict
ByteString, so the most efficient fix, which also happens to avoid needing
ifdefs, is to use the non-lazy module instead.

An empty list of [ContentIdenfier] serialized to the same thing
as a single ContentIdentifier "". Avoid this ambiguity by requiring the
list be non-empty.
InodeCache serializes to a value with spaces, and seems likely other
things will too, and want to avoid unncessary base64 of content
identifiers when possible.
Does not yet have a way to update with new information from the
git-annex branch, which will be needed when multiple repos are importing
from the same remote.
