git-remote-annex will be a program that allows push/pull of a git
repository to any git-annex special remote.
This is a redesign and reimplementation of git-remote-datalad-annex.
It will be a safer implementation, will support incremental pushes, and
will be available to users who don't use datalad.
Work is in the `git-remote-annex` branch, currently we have a design for

the core data files and operations.

I still need to do some design work around using the git-annex branch to
detect concurrent push situations where changes to the manifest get lost,
and re-add those changes to it later.
Also, it's not clear what will happen when two people make conflicting pushes
to a ref, the goal would be to replicate git push to a regular git remote,
but that may not be entirely possible. This will need to be investigated
further.
