use --no-abbrev instead of --abbrev=40
This avoids hardcoding the sha size, so when git uses sha256, it will
output the full sha256 and not a truncation to 40 characters.
I reviewed git's history, and while there have been some
bugs with commands not supporting --no-abbrev (eg git diff --no-index
--no-abbrev was broken in git 2.1), none of the commands git-annex
uses will be impacted by those old bugs.

support sha256 git repos
Git will eventually switch to sha2 and there will not be one single
shaSize anymore, but two (40 and 64).
Changed all parsers for git plumbing output to support both sizes of
shas.
One potential problem this does not deal with is, if somewhere in
git-annex it reads two shas from different sources, and compares them
to see if they're the same sha, it would fail if they're sha1 and sha256
of the same value. I don't know if that will really be a concern.

reinject --known: Fix bug that prevented it from working in a bare repo.
ifAnnexed in a bare repo passes to git cat-file :./filename , which it
refuses to do since the repo is bare.
Note that, reinject somefile someannexedfile in a bare repo silently does
nothing, because someannexedfile is never actually an annexed worktree
file, because the repo is bare.

add --force-annex/--force-git
options make it easier to override annex.largefiles configuration
(and potentially safer as it avoids bugs like the smudge bug fixed
in the last release)
Deleted some old comments that were posted to the man page discussing such
options.
Updated docs that used -c annex.largefiles to use the options.
Note that addSmallOverridden was needed to avoid the clean filter running
on the file. It would be possible to make addFile also update the index
directly, rather than going via git add. However, it was not necessary,
and I want to avoid breaking on some edge case, particularly if the code in
addSmallOverridden has some oversight.
Also, when annex.addunlocked is set and annex.largefiles does not match a file,
git annex add --force-large works, but git status will then show the file
as added, with a unstaged modification. The unstaged modification adds the
file to git. This is identical behavior to using -c annex.largefiles=nothing
when annex.addunlocked is set. This does not prevent committing what was
intended to be added. I have not gotten to the bottom of why git thinks
the file is modified and runs it through the clean filter in this case.

different way to avoid NUL in Arbitrary AssociatedFile
Test case has been intermittently failing, with an AssociatedFile that
somehow contains a NUL despite it being filtered out. My guess is
something to do with locales. This new approach should prevent any NUL
at all, although it does weigh the distribution a bit more toward
Nothing.

fix a case where file tracked by git unexpectedly becomes annex pointer file
smudge: When annex.largefiles=anything, files that were already stored in
git, and have not been modified could sometimes be converted to being
stored in the annex. Changes in 7.20191024 made this more of a problem.
This case is now detected and prevented.

Improve file ordering behavior when one parameter is "." and other parameters are other directories
eg, `git-annex get . ..` used to order the files strangly, because it
did not realize that when git ls-files output eg "foo", that should be
grouped with the first set of files and not the second set.
Fixed by making dirContains "." "./foo" = True
which makes sense, because dirContains ".." "../foo" = True

annex.addunlocked expressions
* annex.addunlocked can be set to an expression with the same format used by
annex.largefiles, in case you want to default to unlocking some files but
not others.
* annex.addunlocked can be configured by git-annex config.
Added a git-annex-matching-expression man page, broken out from
tips/largefiles.
A tricky consequence of this is that git-annex add --relaxed
honors annex.addunlocked, but an expression might want to know the size
or content of an url, which it's not going to download. I decided it was
better not to fail, and just dummy up some plausible data in that case.
Performance impact should be negligible. The global config is already
loaded for annex.largefiles. The expression only has to be parsed once,
and in the simple true/false case, it should not do any additional work
matching it.

git-annex-config --set/--unset: No longer change the local git config setting
e53070c1f quietly made it set the local git config too, but that was never
documented anywhere, and it had surprising results. If I set
annex.largefiles globally in a repo, I would expect to be able to change it
in another repo, and the original repo would get the change and use it,
rather than being stuck on the old value set there.
And, if I have a local annex.largefiles and set a different global default,
I'd be surprised to have my local setting overwritten.
annex.securehashesonly does need to be set locally, since it's a security
feature and the global is only a default until it gets set locally. So
special cased.

git-annex config annex.largefiles
annex.largefiles can be configured by git-annex config, to more easily set
a default that will also be used by clones, without needing to shoehorn the
expression into the gitattributes file. The git config and gitattributes
override that.
Whenever something is added to git-annex config, we have to consider what
happens if a user puts a purposfully bad value in there. Or, if a new
git-annex adds some new value that an old git-annex can't parse.
In this case, a global annex.largefiles that can't be parsed currently
makes an error be thrown. That might not be ideal, but the gitattribute
behaves the same, and is almost equally repo-global.
Performance notes:
git-annex add and addurl construct a matcher once
and uses it for every file, so the added time penalty for reading the global
config log is minor. If the gitattributes annex.largefiles were deprecated,
git-annex add would get around 2% faster (excluding hashing), because
looking that up for each file is not fast. So this new way of setting
it is progress toward speeding up add.
git-annex smudge does need to load the log every time. As well as checking
the git attribute. Not ideal. Setting annex.gitaddtoannex=false avoids
both overheads.
