set IdentitiesOnly
When setting up a dedicated ssh key to access the annex on a host, set IdentitiesOnly to prevent the ssh-agent from forcing use of a different ssh key. That behavior could result in unncessary password prompts. I remember getting a message or two from people who got deluged with password prompts and I couldn't at the time see why. Also, it would prevent git-annex-shell from being run on the remote host, when git-annex was installed there by unpacking the standalone tarball, since the authorized_keys line for the dedicated ssh key, which sets up calling git-annex-shell when it's not in path, wouldn't be used. This fixes http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Internal_Server_Error:_Unknown_UUID but I've not closed that bug yet since I should still: 1. Investigate why the ssh remote got set up despite being so broken. 2. Make the webapp not handle the NoUUID state in such an ugly way. 3. Possibly add code to fix up systems that encountered the problem. Although since it requires changes to .ssh/config this may be one for the release notes. Thanks to TJ for pointing me in the right direction to understand what was happening here.
