Improve rendering of project or subject lists

adswa commented 3 years ago

When I call datalad xnat-init without a project specification or datalad xnat-update without a subject specification, the resulting list of available projects/subjects can flood the terminal if it is a large server or project.

datalad -c datalad.credentials.force-ask=1 xnat-init https://xnat.kube.fz-juelich.de                        1 !

Specify a specific subject(s) or "all" to download associated files for.

I wonder if we can make this rendering more clever. Maybe with a datalad xnat-* --report argument that returns this list and doesn't otherwise. What would be really amazing to have is a prompt that lets me select the project or subject to init/update.

After a quick discussion in gathertown, I'll try to implement an interactive picker
