 - Overview of threads and MVars, etc:
 -
 - Thread 1: parent
 - 	The initial thread run, double forks to background, starts other
 - 	threads, and then stops, waiting for them to terminate,
 - 	or for a ctrl-c.
 - Thread 2: Watcher
 - 	Notices new files, and calls handlers for events, queuing changes.
 - Thread 3: inotify internal
 - 	Used by haskell inotify library to ensure inotify event buffer is
 - 	kept drained.
 - Thread 4: inotify startup scanner
 - 	Scans the tree and registers inotify watches for each directory.
 -	A MVar lock is used to prevent other inotify handlers from running
 -	until this is complete.
 - Thread 5: Committer
 - 	Waits for changes to occur, and runs the git queue to update its
 - 	index, then commits. Also queues Transfer events to send added
 - 	files to other remotes.
 - Thread 6: Pusher
 - 	Waits for commits to be made, and pushes updated branches to remotes,
 - 	in parallel. (Forks a process for each git push.)
 - Thread 7: PushRetryer
 - 	Runs every 30 minutes when there are failed pushes, and retries
 - 	them.
 - Thread 8: Merger
 - 	Waits for pushes to be received from remotes, and merges the
 - 	updated branches into the current branch.
 - 	(This uses inotify on .git/refs/heads, so there are additional
 - 	inotify threads associated with it, too.)
 - Thread 9: TransferWatcher
 - 	Watches for transfer information files being created and removed,
 - 	and maintains the DaemonStatus currentTransfers map.
 - 	(This uses inotify on .git/annex/transfer/, so there are
 - 	additional inotify threads associated with it, too.)
 - Thread 10: Transferrer
 - 	Waits for Transfers to be queued and does them.
 - Thread 11: StatusLogger
 - 	Wakes up periodically and records the daemon's status to disk.
 - Thread 12: SanityChecker
 - 	Wakes up periodically (rarely) and does sanity checks.
 - Thread 13: MountWatcher
 - 	Either uses dbus to watch for drive mount events, or, when
 - 	there's no dbus, polls to find newly mounted filesystems.
 - 	Once a filesystem that contains a remote is mounted, updates
 - 	state about that remote, pulls from it, and queues a push to it,
 - 	as well as an update, and queues it onto the
 - 	ConnectedRemoteChan
 - Thread 14: TransferScanner
 - 	Does potentially expensive checks to find data that needs to be
 - 	transferred from or to remotes, and queues Transfers.
 - 	Uses the ScanRemotes map.
 - Thread 15: WebApp
 - 	Spawns more threads as necessary to handle clients.
 - 	Displays the DaemonStatus.
 -
 - ThreadState: (MVar)
 - 	The Annex state is stored here, which allows resuscitating the
 - 	Annex monad in IO actions run by the watcher and committer
 - 	threads. Thus, a single state is shared amoung the threads, and
 - 	only one at a time can access it.
 - DaemonStatusHandle: (MVar)
 - 	The daemon's current status. This MVar should only be manipulated
 - 	from inside the Annex monad, which ensures it's accessed only
 - 	after the ThreadState MVar.
 - ChangeChan: (STM TChan)
 - 	Changes are indicated by writing to this channel. The committer
 - 	reads from it.
 - CommitChan: (STM TChan)
 - 	Commits are indicated by writing to this channel. The pusher reads
 - 	from it.
 - FailedPushMap (STM TMVar)
 - 	Failed pushes are indicated by writing to this TMVar. The push
 - 	retrier blocks until they're available.
 - TransferQueue (STM TChan)
 - 	Transfers to make are indicated by writing to this channel.
 - TransferSlots (QSemN)
 - 	Count of the number of currently available transfer slots.
 - 	Updated by the transfer watcher, this allows other threads
 - 	to block until a slot is available.
 - 	This MVar should only be manipulated from inside the Annex monad,
 - 	which ensures it's accessed only after the ThreadState MVar.
 - ScanRemotes (STM TMVar)
 - 	Remotes that have been disconnected, and should be scanned
 - 	are indicated by writing to this TMVar.
