To use, set GIT_ANNEX_SSHASKPASS to point to a fifo or regular file
(FIFO is better, avoids touching disk or multiple readers) that contains
the password. Then set SSH_ASKPASS=git-annex, and when ssh runs it, it will
tell ssh the password.
This is not yet used..
This is a better approach to finding both when NM has lost a network
connection, and when a new network connection is made by NM.
Tested with network-manager 0.9.8.8.

* Remote system might be available, and connection get lost. Should
reconnect, but needs to avoid bad behavior (ie, constant reconnect
attempts.) Use exponential backoff.
* Detect if old system had a too old git-annex-shell, and show the user
a nice message in the webapp. Required parsing error messages, so perhaps
this code shoudl be removed once enough time has passed..
* Switch the protocol to using remote URI's, rather than remote names.
Names change. Also avoids issues with serialization of names containing
whitespace.
This is nearly ready for merge into master now. I'd still like to make the ssh
transport smarter about reusing ssh connection caching during git pull.

a ssh remote, and pulls.
XMPP is no longer needed in this configuration!
Requires the remote server have git-annex-shell with notifychanges support.

So far, handling connecting to git-annex-shell notifychanges, and
pulling immediately when a change is pushed to a remote.
A little bit buggy (crashes after the first pull), but it already works!

This will be used by the remote-daemon to quickly tell when changes have
been pushed from some other repository into a ssh remote.
Adjusted the remote-daemon protocol to communicate changed shas, rather
than git branch refs. This way, it can easily check if a sha is new.
