Good point. If somebody writes a working remote-helper using "import" to trigger fast-import as the back-end, and if it breaks because we changed the way fast-import is invoked and the helper needs to be updated, we at least need to give them a useful documentation that clearly states how the helper is expected to behave.

Will queue this version for now, if only as a reminder that we would need more updates.

Thanks.
