Btw, if it wasn't clear - it's not actually a git-ls-remote replacement yet, even for native protocols. It doesn't actually do the remote URL thing, so you can't do simple things like

	git peek-remote origin

for example.

Things like "git fetch", that do their own remote parsing anyway, don't actually care, but I thought I'd mention it anyway, just so nobody gets surprised.
