New annex.synccontent config setting
.. which can be set to true to make git annex sync default to --content. This may become the default at some point in the future. As well as being configuable by git config, it can be configured by git-annex config to control the default behavior in all clones of a repository.

This commit was sponsored by Jake Vosloo on Patreon.
