Maybe I should
write a proxy for the rsync wire protocol that can tell what chunk of the

file is being sent, and shim it in front of the rsync server? Sadly,
the protocol is insane.
Another idea: Invert things. Make `git-annex-shell sendkey` run
`rsync -e 'cat'`, so it treats the incoming ssh connection as the server.
(cat probably won't really work; bidirectional pipe needed).
Run rsync in `--server` mode on the *client* side, piped to ssh.
Now the `git-annex` side doesn't have a progress bar (but it can poll the
file size and produce its own), `git-annex-shell` side does have a progress
bar.
