[PATCH 3/5] Add option for using a foreign VCS

From
Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>
Date
Mar 25, 2009, 03:04 UTC
Message-ID
<alpine.LNX.1.00.0903242303330.19665@iabervon.org>

This simply configures the remote to use a transport that doesn't have any methods at all and is therefore unable to do anything yet.
