with rsync, it is sometimes the case that one needs to specify ssh options -- typical examples from the rsync man page are `rsync -e 'ssh -p 2234'`. as git-annex does the shell splitting of the arguments in `annex-rsync-options` (see [[special remotes/rsync]]) itself by looking for whitespace, these options can't be passed directly. (`annex-rsync-options = -e 'ssh -p 2234'` gets split to `["rsync", "-e", "'ssh", "-p", "2234'"]` instead of `["rsync", "-e", "ssh -p 2234"]`).
git-annex should respect shell splitting rules when looking at annex-rsync-options. (i suppose there is a haskell library or module for that; in python, we have the `shlex` module for that).
## workaround
put this in .git/ssh and mark it as executable:
#!/bin/sh
exec ssh -p 2234 $@
put this in your git annex config in the particular remote's section:
annex-rsync-options = -e /local/path/to/your/repo/.git/ssh
(typical bug report information: observed with git-annex 3.20121127 on debian)
