Joey Hess 9c04d1e523 fix git 1.7.7 breakage
* This version of git-annex only works with git 1.7.7 and newer.
  The breakage with old versions is subtle, and affects
  annex.numcopies .gitattributes settings, so be sure to upgrade git
  to 1.7.7. (Debian package now depends on that version.)
* Don't pass absolute paths to git show-attr, as it started following
  symlinks when that's done in 1.7.7. Instead, use relative paths,
  which show-attr only handles 100% correctly in 1.7.7. Closes: #645046

Unfortunatly I can find no way to work with the old and new gits, as
the old had bugs that require absolute paths, while the new doesn't like
them at all. And the behavior of git show-attr in 1.7.7. is the same as
eg, git add of an absolute path to a symlink, so seems entirely
intentional and not likely to change.

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, checksumming 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.
