This is a todo for collecting changes that could lead to a v11 repository
version.
* Append to journal files even when annex.alwayscompact=true.
This can make it a lot faster in some cases.
See note in Annex.Branch.changeOrAppend.
It's important that this only happen when no git-annex version
older than 10.20220724 can plausibly be running in a repository
after upgrading to the repo version that enables this. Depending on the
timing of v11, this may need to be put in a v12 upgrade that is delayed
some amount of time (eg 1 year) after v11.
* Finish the transition of git-annex sync defaulting to --content.
A warning was added in May 2023 when it's run in a way that will change
behavior. It would be good to wait until all git-annex users have
gotten the version with the warning, and used it for a while,
before finishing the transition. This does not need to be tied to a
repository version change really, but it would be reasonable to do so.
