This is a todo for collecting changes that could lead to a v9 repository
version.
Currently, there does not seem to be enough reason to warrant one, but that
could change and if it does, these things could be included.
* Change locking of annexed files to use a separate lock file
rather than posix locking the file itself.
This would let write bits be removed from the file when
core.sharedRepository is set. See <https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/shared_setting_of_git_causes_annex__39__ed_files_to_be_writeable__33__/>
Note that windows already uses a separate lock file.
* Possibly enable `git-annex filter-process` by default. If the tradeoffs
seem worth it.
It does not currently incrementally hash, so implementing that first
would imporve the tradeoffs.
