sysutils/git-annex missing git-annex-shell and man pages



Hi,

git-annex is missing the git-annex-shell binary. This prevents,
for example, running "git annex get" from another machine; here is
part of the error output:
	This could be a problem with the git-annex installation on the remote. Please make sure that git-annex-shell is available in PATH when you ssh into the remote. Once you have fixed the git-annex installation, run: git annex enableremote origin

OpenBSD's git-annex port has the following in its post-install
rule; maybe something similar would work for pkgsrc.

        @ln -s git-annex ${PREFIX}/bin/git-annex-shell
        @ln -s git-annex ${PREFIX}/bin/git-remote-tor-annex

(I don't know what git-remote-tor-annex is.) Alternatively, maybe
upstream has a story about how git-annex-shell is supposed to get
installed; I haven't investigated.

Also, it would be nice if the man pages were installed.

If it would help, I can try to send a patch, but it might be a
while before I have time for it. I have not worked with pkgsrc
before but have a tiny bit of experience with OpenBSD's ports tree.
I use git-annex a lot.
