[Monotone-devel] Update to Unix Attributes and Symlinks Scripts

I've modified the scripts and monotonerc at
http://www.venge.net/monotone/wiki/UnixAttribsAndSymlinks to use the
lua hooks for attr_init_functions on 'mtn add'.  This is much, much
faster than calling 'mtn attr get' and 'mtn attr set' from an outside
script (btw is there a way to call a number of monotone commands
without doing a separate invocation of mtn each time; it would speed up
the mtn-script considerably if the filelist were not generated twice
(attr get & set) for every file for which we want to find and/or change
attributes).

If mtn commit were to have hooks like attr_init_functions (say
attr_update_functions), that basically did attr_init_functions, but
only recorded the return value (setting or clearing attribute) if it
were different than what was already recorded, everything could be
moved inside monotone.

Also, if my execout functions which call mtn-dosh could be replaced by
popen, I think it'd be better.  I don't see that blocking popen is any
safer than this.

Cheers,

Daniel
