In this case, it is a bridge between the transport code and\nthe transport mechanism. Using shim as an external name is confusing\n-- a shim to what? The fast-import code and git-svn/hg/bzr/cvs/...\ncould be a shim (as it is acting as a bridge between other version\ncontrol systems).\n\nHere, git-remote-* where * is the protocol name is a better naming\nscheme as it tells you about what the logic is doing. The\ndocumentation can be under git-remote.txt.\n\n- Reece\n"}]}
