What steps will reproduce the problem?

Add a rsync special remote - one that you need a username/password to access (stored in text file $HOME/.rsync.password):

    $ git annex initremote myrsync type=rsync rsyncurl=rsync://username@rsync.example.com/myrsync encryption=none
    $ git annex describe myrsync "rsync server"
    $ git config remote.myrsync.annex-rsync-options "--password-file=$HOME/.rsync.password"

Copy a file to the remote:

    $ git annex -d copy my-file --to myrsync

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect to see the file copied over to the rsync remote, but the check doesn't use the annex-rsync-options and asks for a password.  The debug output is:

    copy my-file (checking myrsync...) [2012-10-28 01:01:01 EST] call: sh ["-c","rsync --quiet 'rsync://username@rsync.example.com/myrsync/[...SNIP...]' 2>/dev/null"]

However the actual copy does use annex-rsync-options and the copy works:

    [2012-10-28 01:01:05 EST] read: rsync ["--password-file=/home/blah/.rsync.password","--progress","--recursive","--partial","--partial-dir=.rsync-partial","/home/blah/annex/.git/annex/tmp/rsynctmp/12345/","rsync://username@rsync.example.com/myrsync"]


What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

git-annex: 3.20121017

OS: Ubuntu 12.04

Please provide any additional information below.

I think this fix is as easy as including the annex-rsync-options wherever rsync is called.
