Now, many git-annex commands support -Jn, the output is not a jumbled mess
thanks to the concurrent-output library.
At this point all I see that needs doing is:
* Maybe support -Jn in more commands. Just needs changing a few lines of
code and testing each.
* It would be nice to be able to run cleanup actions in the "background",
after a command has otherwise succeeded, even when -Jn is not used.
In particular, when getting files, their checksum is verified after
download. That would nicely parellize with the next file being
downloaded.
This could be implemented also using concurrent-output, but it would then
have to drive the display even when -J is not used. I'm not yet sure
enough about it to use it by default.
