Re: [PATCH RFC] new config option remote.<name>.pushexec

I tried to do the symmetric part for fetch, but that shell script is too
complicated for me and so I let this part to s.o. being more familiar
with git-fetch.sh.

I do not know what s.o. is but something like this untested
patch would do.

I do not have strong objection to the configuration on the push
side, but I am not sure if we want to call it pushexec -- it is
naming receive-pack so remote.*.receivepack might be more
appropriate, just in case we update the fetch/push protocol
someday to run more than one program on the other end.
