the LogLevel is set to 'None' we'll not get the

Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2015 14:42:36 +0100
Subject: [PATCH] add comment about why the ugly one-line remote command is as
 it is

In case anyone looks here for the details:
 * tcsh doesn't support multi-line strings,
   which is why it's a one-liner.
 * tcsh doesn't do 2>&1, and fish doesn't do
   'command || command' which is why we're runnig this under
   sh (which is very likely to be a POSIX shell on any vaguely
   Unix-like system)
 * The 'cd' is there to make sure we're in the home dir, because
   there was a bug report about having a cd in ~/.bashrc that resulted
   in a .ssh being created elsewhere.
 * the 'exec' ensures that we're not relying on anything beyond the
   (hopefully POSIX) shell that's available as 'sh' on the remote system
