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..
For sync, saves 1 ssh connection per remote. For remotedaemon, the same
ssh connection that is already open to run git-annex-shell notifychanges
is reused to pull from the remote.
Only potential problem is that this also enables connection caching
when the assistant syncs with a ssh remote. Including the sync it does
when a network connection has just come up. In that case, cached ssh
connections are likely to be stale, and so using them would hang.
Until I'm sure such problems have been dealt with, this commit needs to
stay on the remotecontrol branch, and not be merged to master.

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.

Motivation: Hook scripts for nautilus or other file managers
need to provide the user with feedback that a file is being downloaded.

While writing this documentation, I realized that there needed to be a way
to stay in a view like tag=* while adding a filter like tag=work that
applies to the same field.
So, there are really two ways a view can be refined. It can have a new
"field=explicitvalue" filter added to it, which does not change the
"shape" of the view, but narrows the files it shows.
Or, it can have a new view added, which adds another level of
subdirectories.
So, added a vfilter command, which takes explicit values to add to the
filter, and rejects changes that would change the shape of the view.
And, made vadd only accept changes that change the shape of the view.
And, changed the View data type slightly; now components that can match
multiple metadata values can be visible, or not visible.

(And a vpop command, which is still a bit buggy.)
Still need to do vadd and vrm, though this also adds their documentation.
Currently not very happy with the view log data serialization. I had to
lose the TDFA regexps temporarily, so I can have Read/Show instances of
View. I expect the view log format will change in some incompatable way
later, probably adding last known refs for the parent branch to View
or something like that.
Anyway, it basically works, although it's a bit slow looking up the
metadata. The actual git branch construction is about as fast as it can be
using the current git plumbing.

Adds metadata log, and command.
Note that unsetting field values seems to currently be broken.
And in general this has had all of 2 minutes worth of testing.

Note that on Windows a remote with a path like /home/foo/bar
is interpreted by git as being some screwy relative path (relative to what
exactly seems ill-defined -- it seemed relative to C:\Program Files\Git\ in
my tests!) So no attempt has been made to handle such a path sanely, just not
to crash when encountering it.
Note that "C:\\foo" </> "/home/foo/bar" yields /home/foo/bar even though
that is not absolute! I don't know what to make of all this,
except that I will be very happy when this crock of **** vanishes from
the face of the earth.
