 -
 - Overview of threads and MVars, etc:
 -
 - Thread 1: parent
 - 	The initial thread run, double forks to background, starts other
 - 	threads, and then stops, waiting for them to terminate,
 - 	or for a ctrl-c.
 - Thread 2: watcher
 - 	Notices new files, and calls handlers for events, queuing changes.
 - Thread 3: inotify internal
 - 	Used by haskell inotify library to ensure inotify event buffer is
 - 	kept drained.
 - Thread 4: inotify startup scanner
 - 	Scans the tree and registers inotify watches for each directory.
 -	A MVar lock is used to prevent other inotify handlers from running
 -	until this is complete.
 - Thread 5: committer
 - 	Waits for changes to occur, and runs the git queue to update its
 - 	index, then commits.
 - Thread 6: pusher
 - 	Waits for commits to be made, and pushes updated branches to remotes,
 - 	in parallel. (Forks a process for each git push.)
 - Thread 7: push retryer
 - 	Runs every 30 minutes when there are failed pushes, and retries
 - 	them.
 - Thread 8: merger
 - 	Waits for pushes to be received from remotes, and merges the
 - 	updated branches into the current branch. This uses inotify
 - 	on .git/refs/heads, so there are additional inotify threads
 - 	associated with it, too.
 - Thread 9: status logger
 - 	Wakes up periodically and records the daemon's status to disk.
 - Thread 10: sanity checker
 - 	Wakes up periodically (rarely) and does sanity checks.
 -
 - ThreadState: (MVar)
 - 	The Annex state is stored here, which allows resuscitating the
 - 	Annex monad in IO actions run by the inotify and committer
 - 	threads. Thus, a single state is shared amoung the threads, and
 - 	only one at a time can access it.
 - DaemonStatusHandle: (MVar)
 - 	The daemon's current status. This MVar should only be manipulated
 - 	from inside the Annex monad, which ensures it's accessed only
 - 	after the ThreadState MVar.
 - ChangeChan: (STM TChan)
 - 	Changes are indicated by writing to this channel. The committer
 - 	reads from it.
 - CommitChan: (STM TChan)
 - 	Commits are indicated by writing to this channel. The pusher reads
 - 	from it.
 - FailedPushMap (STM TMVar)
 - 	Failed pushes are indicated by writing to this TMVar. The push
 - 	retrier blocks until they're available.
