Description of problem:

This is yet another appeal that we add sshfs to RHEL.  Previous attempts:

  RHEL 5 (2006) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=203038
  RHEL 6 (2007) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241235
  RHEL 6 (2011) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735811
  RHEL 7 (2011) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735397

We would like this in order for virt-v2v to be used against all
ssh sources.  Currently we use a libssh2 driver in qemu, but that
has all kinds of limitations, eg. it cannot use Kerberos, it
doesn't understand ECDSA, it can't use password auth, it can't
use ProxyCommand, etc.

sshfs is a small FUSE module which lets you mount a remote server
running sshd on your local filesystem.

  $ mkdir /tmp/mnt
  $ sshfs trick:/home/rjones /tmp/mnt
  $ ls /tmp/mnt
  bin  d  Desktop  rpmbuild  tmp
  $ fusermount -u /tmp/mnt

The program has 5.4K lines of code, is cleanly written by the author
of FUSE, and defers all authentication and encryption to the installed
OpenSSH binary.

I will be able to maintain this package in RHEL.
