git-remote-annex: support importrree=yes remotes

When exporttree=yes is also set. Probably it would also be possible to
support ones with only importtree=yes, by enabling exporttree=yes for
the remote only when using git-remote-annex, but let's keep this
simple... I'm not sure what gets recorded in .git/annex/ state
differently in the two cases that might cause a problem when doing that.

Note that the full annex:: urls generated and displayed for such a
remote omit the importree=yes. Which is ok, cloning from such an url
uses an exporttree=remote, but the git-annex branch doesn't get written
by this program, so once the real config is available from the git-annex
branch, it will still function as an importree=yes remote.

@ -15,10 +15,6 @@ This is implememented and working. Remaining todo list for it:
not display any useful error message. git fetch does, but it seems
git clone eats git-remote-annex stderr.
* Cloning from an annex:: url with importtree=yes doesn't work
(with or without exporttree=yes). This is because the ContentIdentifier
db is not populated. It should be possible to work around this.
* datalad-annex supports cloning from the web special remote,
using an url that contains the result of pushing to eg, a directory
special remote.
