Useful for pulling stuff off a dedicated server. Instead of connecting
with ssh or just starting a local pipeline, we connect over TCP to the
other side and try to see if there's a git server listening.
Of course, since I haven't written the git server yet, that will never
happen. But the server really just needs to listen on a port, and
execute a "git-upload-pack" when somebody connects.
(It should read one packet-line, which should be of the format
"git-upload-pack directoryname\n"
and eventually we migth have other commands the server might accept).
This tries to be more lenient to the users and stricter to the
attackers by quoting the input properly for shell safety,
instead of forbidding certain characters from the input.
Things to note:
- We do not quote "prog" parameter (which comes from --exec).
The user should know what he is doing. --exec='echo foo'
will supply the first two parameters to the resulting
command, while --exec="'echo foo'" will give the first
parameter, a single string with a space inside.
- We do not care too much about leaking the sq_quote() output
just before running exec().

I still worry about just quoting things when passing it off to "ssh" or
"sh -c", so I'm being anal. But _, ^ and , are certainly ok and while
both ~ and @ can have speacial meaning to shell/ssh they are benign.
