Killing a migration from WORM to SHA256 with ^C breaks things; future attempts to do the migration fail:

#!/bin/bash

BASE=/tmp/migrate-bug

set -x

chmod -R +w $BASE
rm -rf $BASE
mkdir -p $BASE
cd $BASE

# create annex
git init .
git annex init

# make a big (sparse) file and add it
dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=1 count=0 seek=1G
git annex add --backend WORM bigfile
git commit -m 'added bigfile'

# look at status
git annex status

# now migrate it, but kill migration during checksum
# Simulate ^C by making a new process group and sending SIGINT
setsid git annex migrate --backend SHA256 bigfile &
PID=$!
sleep 1
kill -INT -$PID
wait

# look at status
git annex status

# this migration fails
git annex migrate --backend SHA256 bigfile

# but fsck says everything's OK
git annex fsck

The error:

migrate bigfile 
git-annex: /tmp/migrate-bug/.git/annex/objects/K9/V1/WORM-s1073741824-m1321566308--bigfile/WORM-s1073741824-m1321566308--bigfile: createLink: already exists (File exists)
failed
git-annex: migrate: 1 failed

Fixed it to delete the stale temp file. done

Thanks for making such clear test cases, Jim! --Joey
