Exactly.  The git-remote-testgit part of the patch would be pretty
similar to what you have and could even go earlier in the series if
wanted (since it does not require transport-helper changes), while the
transport-helper part should be unnecessary as long as patch 15/20
"use the new done feature where possible" does not remove the \n in
its output (as discussed in its subthread).

Meanwhile I should probably implement a "capability done" as Dmitry
hinted, to make blank lines no longer act as a terminator as a way of
helping people debugging by hand that hit <ENTER> too many times by
mistake.
