Made ssh connection caching be used in several more places. git annex sync will use it when pushing/pulling to a remote, as will the assistant. And git-annex remotedaemon also uses connection caching. So, when a push lands on a ssh remote, the assistant will immediately notice it, and pull down the change over the same TCP connection used for the notifications.

This was a bit of a pain to do. Had to set GIT_SSH=git-annex and then when git invokes git-annex as ssh, it runs ssh with the connection caching parameters.

Also, improved the network-manager and wicd code, so it detects when a connection has gone down. That propagates through to the remote-daemon, which closes all ssh connections. I need to also find out how to detect network connections/disconnections on OSX..

Otherwise, the remote-control branch seems ready to be merged. But I want to test it for a while first.

Followed up on yesterday's bug with writing some test cases for Utility.Scheduled, which led to some more bug fixes. Luckily nothing I need to rush out a release over. In the end, the code got a lot simpler and clearer.

-- Check if the new Day occurs one month or more past the old Day.
oneMonthPast :: Day -> Day -> Bool
new `oneMonthPast` old = fromGregorian y (m+1) d <= new
  where
        (y,m,d) = toGregorian old
