More importantly, helpers implementing the "import" or "export"
capability are indicating that they grok the fast-import format.  What
they use behind the scenes to produce or parse it is not so important
--- the relevant thing is that a fast-import stream (with format
documented in git-fast-import(1)) is part of the remote helper
protocol in this case.

Thanks,
