v6 git-annex unlock
Note that the implementation uses replaceFile, so that the actual replacement of the work tree file is atomic. This seems a good property to have! It would be possible for unlock in v6 mode to be run on files that do not have their content present. However, that would be a behavior change from before, and I don't see any immediate need to support it, so I didn't implement it.
