rsync shellescape disable option

Browse source 
Rsync special remotes can be configured with shellescape=no to avoid shell
quoting that is normally done when using rsync over ssh. This is known to
be needed for certian rsync hosting providers (specificially
hidrive.strato.com) that use rsync over ssh but do not pass it through the
shell.

@ -24,5 +24,13 @@ These parameters can be passed to `git annex initremote` to configure rsync:
* `rsyncurl` - Required. This is the url or `hostname:/directory` to
pass to rsync to tell it where to store content.
* `shellescape` - Optional. Set to "no" to avoid shell escaping normally
done when using rsync over ssh. That escaping is needed with typical
setups, but not with some hosting providers that do not expose rsynced
filenames to the shell. You'll know you need this option if `git annex get`
from the special remote fails with an error message containing a single
quote (`'`) character. If that happens, you can re-run initremote
setting shellescape=no.
The `annex-rsync-options` git configuration setting can be used to pass
parameters to rsync.
