✨ Find duplicates across directories.

Browse source 
The new CLI flag --across now lets users list duplicates only if they
are found in multiple of the given directories.

Closes gh-5.

This also removes support for arbitrary arguments to `git annex find`,
as we need to know which of the CLI arguments are directories to search
in. This might be re-introduced later.

Closes gh-4.

@ -57,19 +57,21 @@ Exclude one or more path patterns with `--exclude`:
git-annex-duplicates --exclude '*.iso' --exclude 'archive/**'
```
Additional arguments are passed to `git annex find`. Place `--` before options
that belong to `git annex find`, so they are not interpreted as options to
`git-annex-duplicates`:
Find duplicates in the given directories:
```sh
# Only report duplicates whose content is present in this repository
git-annex-duplicates -- --in=here
# Combine a local exclusion with a git-annex find option
git-annex-duplicates --exclude 'archive/**' -- --in=here
git-annex-duplicates dir_a/ dir_b/
```
See `git annex find --help` for the available filters.
### Finding duplicates across directories
To find duplicates that are duplicated across directories, use the `--across` flag:
```sh
git-annex-duplicates --across data/ new_data/
```
This will only list duplicate files that are found in more than one of the given directories.
