Subject: [PATCH] add git-annex-shell commit

Eventually, git-annex might try running this after making changes to
a remote. I have not yet thought of a good way for it to tell which
remotes it needs to run it on though. It can't just do it when
shutting down a cached ssh connection, because ssh connection caching
is optional, and that would not handle local remotes not accessed over ssh
either.
