Something that has come up repeatedly is that `git annex reinject` is
too hard to use since you have to tell it which annexed file you're providing
the content for. Now `git-annex reinject --known` can be passed a list of
files and it will reinject any that hash to known annexed contents
and ignore the rest. That works best when only one backend is used in a
repository; otherwise it would need to be run repeatedly with different
`--backend` values.
Turns out that the `GIT_COMMON_DIR` feature used by adjusted branches
is only a couple years old, so don't let adjusted branches be used with
a too old git.
And, `git merge` is getting a new sanity check that prevents merging
in a branch with a disconnected history. `git annex sync` will inherit that
sanity check, but the assistant needs to let such merges happen when eg,
pairing repositories, so more git version checking there.
