time, and building up a larger tree out of the chunks.

When a borg repository has many archives, git-annex could easily OOM
before. Now, it will use only memory proportional to the number of
annexed keys in an archive.

Minor implementation wart: Each new chunk re-opens the content
identifier database, and also a new vector clock is used for each chunk.
This is a minor innefficiency only; the use of continuations makes
it hard to avoid, although putting the database handle into a Reader
monad would be one way to fix it.

It may later be possible to extend the ImportableContentsChunkable
interface to remotes that are not third-party populated. However, that
would perhaps need an interface that does not use continuations.

The ImportableContentsChunkable interface currently does not allow
populating the top of the tree with anything other than subtrees. I...
