I don't think it's that hard. In fact, I did a preliminary patch for it
about a year ago:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107750

That patch was held up because there were a lot of cleanups needed in
transport.c before it would make sense (read the whole thread for
details). I think most of those cleanups have happened in the meantime,
so it would be pretty straightforward to use the same setup_tracking()
function and just call it from the right spot in transport.c. But I
haven't actually looked at this topic since the above-referenced thread.
