* bug when annexing files in a subdir of a git repo
* how to handle git mv file?
* query remotes for their annex.name settings, or figure out a different
solution to nameing problem?
- querying network remotes all the time will be slow. local caching in
.git/config?
- having a git annex name and a git remote name that are distinct
will be confusing
- but git remote names are repo-local, I want a global name
- really, I don't want a name at all, I want a per-repo UUID
So, each repo has a UUID, stored in annex.uuid.
And also, the last seen UUID for each remote is listed:
remote.origin.annex-uuid=d3d2474c-d5c3-11df-80a9-002170d25c55
Then when it need to find a repo by UUID, it can see if a known remote
has it -- and then query the remote to confirm the repo there still has
that UUID (a different repo may have been mounted there).
Failing that, it can force a refresh of all uuids, updating .git/config,
and check again.
- Only downside for this is that if I put a repo on a usb disk,
and it is disconnected and I have no remote for it,
git-annex will have to say:
"You asked for a file that is only present on a git repo with
UUID d3d2474c-d5c3-11df-80a9-002170d25c55 -- and I don't know
where it is."
To solve that, let .git-annex/uuid.map map between uuids and descriptions,
like "d3d2474c-d5c3-11df-80a9-002170d25c55 SATA drive labeled '* arch-2'"
