annex.thin
Decided it's too scary to make v6 unlocked files have 1 copy by default, but that should be available to those who need it. This is consistent with git-annex not dropping unused content without --force, etc. * Added annex.thin setting, which makes unlocked files in v6 repositories be hard linked to their content, instead of a copy. This saves disk space but means any modification of an unlocked file will lose the local (and possibly only) copy of the old version. * Enable annex.thin by default on upgrade from direct mode to v6, since direct mode made the same tradeoff. * fix: Adjusts unlocked files as configured by annex.thin.
