Preserve metadata when staging a new version of an annexed file.
Performance impact: When adding a large tree of new files, this needs to do some git cat-file queries to check if any of the files already existed and might need a metadata copy. I tried a benchmark in a copy of my sound repository (so there was already a significant git tree to check against. Adding 10000 small files, with a cold cache: before: 1m48.539s after: 1m52.791s So, impact is 0.0004 seconds per file added. Which seems acceptable, so did not add some kind of configuration to enable/disable this. This commit was sponsored by Lisa Feilen.
