Here's a 'git remote' that handles the easy commands. It makes things
like 'git remote origin repack -a -d' do what you expect. The biggest
problems are:
  - it only works for ssh remotes
  - it assumes your remote path is a git dir (do we have a usual way of
    deciding between $path and $path/.git?)
  - ssh'ing will mangle your shell quoting in the command arguments
  - the url parsing is somewhat ad-hoc (do we have a usual way of
    parsing urls for shell scripts?)

Add braindead git-remote script.

This script is a convenience wrapper for performing remote commands on a
repository using ssh.
