    propagate git-annex -c on to transferrer child process · 74c1e066

    git -c was already propagated via environment, but need this for
    consistency.
    
    Also, notice it does not use gitAnnexChildProcess to run the
    transferrer. So nothing is done about avoid it taking the
    pid lock. It's possible that the caller is already doing something that
    took the pid lock, and if so, the transferrer will certianly fail,
    since it needs to take the pid lock too. This may prevent combining
    annex.stalldetection with annex.pidlock, but I have not verified it's
    really a problem. If it was, it seems git-annex would have to take
    the pid lock when starting a transferrer, and hold it until shutdown,
    or would need to take pid lock when starting to use a transferrer,
    and hold it until done with a transfer and then drop it. The latter
    would require starting the transferrer with pid locking disabled for the
    child process, so assumes that the transferrer does not do anyting that
    needs locking when not running a transfer.
