I got yesod-pure fully working on Android...

As expected, this involved manually splicing some template haskell. I'm now confident I can port the git-annex webapp to Android this way, and that it will take about a week. Probably will start on that in a month or so. If anyone has some spare Android hardware they'd like to loan me, possibly sooner. (Returning loaner Asus Transformer tomorrow; thanks Mark.) Although I'm inclined to let the situation develop; we may just get a ghc-android that supports TH..

Also:

• Fixed several bugs in the Android installation process.
• Committed patches for all Haskell libraries I've modified to the git-annex git repo.
• Ran the test suite on Android. It found a problem; seems git clone of a local repository is broken in the Android environment.

Non-Android:

• Made the assistant check every hour if logs have grown larger than a megabyte, and rotate them to avoid using too much disk space.
• Avoided noise in log about typechanged objects when running git commit in direct mode repositories. Seems git commit has no way to shut that up, so I had to /dev/null it.
• When run with --debug, the assistant now logs more information about why it transfers or drops objects.
• Found and fixed a case where moving a file to an archive directory would not cause its content to be dropped.
• Working on a bug with the assistant where moving a file out of an archive directory in direct mode sometimes ends up with a symlink rather than a proper direct mode file. Have not gotten to the bottom of it entirely, but it's a race, and I think the race is between the direct mode mapping being updated, and the file being transferred.
