annex.jobs=cpus etc
Added the ability to run one job per CPU (core), by setting annex.jobs=cpus,
or using option --jobs=cpus or -Jcpus.

Built with future expansion in mind, including not defaulting matching on
Concurrency so more constructors can later be added, and using "cpu"
instead of "0".

# NAME
git-annex move - move content of files to/from another repository
# SYNOPSIS
git annex move `[path ...] [--from=remote|--to=remote|--to=here]`
# DESCRIPTION
Moves the content of files from or to another remote.
# OPTIONS
* `--from=remote`
Move the content of files from the specified remote to the local repository.
* `--to=remote`
Move the content of files from the local repository to the specified remote.
* `--to=here`
Move the content of files from all reachable remotes to the local
repository.
* `--force`
Override numcopies and required content checking, and always remove
files from the source repository once the destination repository has a
copy.
Note that, even without this option, you can move the content of a file
from one repository to another when numcopies is not satisfied, as long
as the move does not result in there being fewer copies.
* `--jobs=N` `-JN`
Enables parallel transfers with up to the specified number of jobs
running at once. For example: `-J10`
Setting this to "cpus" will run one job per CPU core.
* `--all` `-A`
Rather than specifying a filename or path to move, this option can be
used to move all available versions of all files.
This is the default behavior when running git-annex in a bare repository.
* `--branch=ref`
Operate on files in the specified branch or treeish.
* `--unused`
Operate on files found by last run of git-annex unused.
* `--failed`
Operate on files that have recently failed to be transferred.
* `--key=keyname`
Use this option to move a specified key.
* `--fast`
When moving content to a remote, avoid a round trip to check if the remote
already has content. This can be faster, but might skip moving content
to the remote in some cases.
* file matching options
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
can be used to specify files to move.
* `--batch`
Enables batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to move
are read from stdin.
As each specified file is processed, the usual progress output is
displayed. If a file's content does not need to be moved,
or it does not match specified matching options, or it
is not an annexed file, a blank line is output in response instead.
Since the usual output while moving a file is verbose and not
machine-parseable, you may want to use --json in combination with
--batch.
* `-z`
Makes the `--batch` input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual
newlines.
* `--json`
Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use
git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
* `--json-progress`
Include progress objects in JSON output.
* `--json-error-messages`
Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in
the json instead.
