I wasn't terribly convinced I'd actually implemented it correctly, since I couldn't test it essentially at all; I was just going for something that gave the right idea.

At the very least, it needs documentation and memory leaks fixed (the refspec strings read from the helper, and the refspec structs and array on freeing the helper data).

Is this actually working with your helper? Occasionally I write code that just works without any testing, but I don't usually expect it. :)
