support being run by ssh as ssh-askpass replacement
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..

Note that the webapp can probe to see if ssh needs a password, and can prompt the user for it before running ssh and the ssh-askpass shim. |
