I have written a test file that uses test-lib.sh. It is named t5801-remote-bzr.sh. I don't know if this name is right so I can correct it. I simply took the next sequential number after t5800-remote-helpers.sh.

It is included in the repo mentioned earlier but it won't work in there..

I've created a clone of git.git [1] in which there's a 'remote-bzr' branch. I will be rebasing this branch on top of master and keeping it up to date with the other repo's content. (so most operations will be non-fastforward pushes) The previous repository will contain the detailed history about work on the remote helper, while the git clone will contain a simple commit for the helper, plus relevant commits for integration in git.git. The test file can be used inside the git clone.

Maintaining two repositories will add a little more work but it will make it easier for me to post a series on top of git for review and possible inclusion later. Also, it should make it easier for interested people to test out the remote helper, and to run the test file.

So now, most of my work will be to try and fix bzr-fastimport. I tried to get in contact with current maintainers of the plugin via Bazaar's mailing list but was unsuccessful. I guess I should e-mail Jelmer Vernooij directly since he merged some code in not so long ago.
