[pass] [PATCH] Add support for 'show -t/--tail' to print 2nd and subsequent lines

[Von Welch]

Hi guns,

 I'm not sure of your logic to arrive at why it "should" be done the way
you state, but I'll just point our you are re-implementing parts of the
logic of pass in the script wrapper (namely splitting the password from the
metadata, figuring out the right clipboard command). I like to avoid
repeating logic (DRY so to speak).

 To put it another way, I'll point out pass gives me a command to separate
out the password (-c/--clip), a complementary command to pull out the
metadata doesn't seem unreasonable.

Von
