No release today after all. Unexpected bandwidth failure. Maybe in a few days..

Got unannex and uninit working in direct mode. This is one of the more subtle parts of git-annex, and took some doing to get it right. Surprisingly, unannex in direct mode actually turns out to be faster than in indirect mode. In direct mode it doesn't have to immediately commit the unannexing, it can just stage it to be committed later.

Also worked on the ssh connection caching code. The perrennial problem with that code is that the fifo used to communicate with ssh has a small limit on its path, somewhere around 100 characters. This had caused problems when the hostname was rather long. I found a way to avoid needing to be able to reverse back from the fifo name to the hostname, and this let me take the md5sum of long hostnames, and use that shorter string for the fifo.

Also various other bug followups.
