Description

"gdaldem color-relief -alpha -co ALPHA=YES" works great, but there is no built in way to do the same with hillshades. I wrote some python code to pull the transparency from the color-relief file into a hillshade image, but gdaldem hillshade should have the same proper transparency handling. The hillshade that is produced does have transparency, but it is only a 1 pixel border.

examples:

You can see the end 50% gray that makes it through in the final result:
