Joey Hess 2de50f733a smart commit thread
The commit thread now has access to a channel containing the times of
all uncommitted changes. This lets it be smart about detecting busy times
when a batch job is running (such as rm -rf, or untarring something, etc),
and avoid committing until it's done. While at the same time, instantly
committing one-off changes that the user is going to expect to see
immediately.

I had to use STM to implement the channel, because of
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4154
While this adds a dependency, I always wanted to use STM, so this actually
makes me happy. ;)

Also happy that shouldCommit is a pure function, so other commit smartness
strategies can easily be played with. Although the current one seems pretty
good.

There is one bug, for some reason it does double commits, every time.

Description: manage files with git, without checking their contents into git
git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file
contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when
dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due
to limitations in memory, time, or disk space.
.
Even without file content tracking, being able to manage files with git,
move files around and delete files with versioned directory trees, and use
branches and distributed clones, are all very handy reasons to use git. And
annexed files can co-exist in the same git repository with regularly
versioned files, which is convenient for maintaining documents, Makefiles,
etc that are associated with annexed files but that benefit from full
revision control.
