[OpenID] Moving OpenID code repositories

OpenID provides no facility to replace SSH for git pushing, AFAIK.  But
OAuth would be a terrific system to replace PKI here.

The scenario would be:

   1. User logs into gitorious.org for the first time using their OpenID.
   2. User creates project X
   3. User uses git client to clone project X on local disk.
   4. First time user attempts to push commits to gitorious, the specialized
   git client uses OAuth to popup a web browser where gitorious challenges the
   user to login with their OpenID.  Once that's done, the git client has a
   token and token secret used to push commits from then on.

That would be sweet.
