Hi, these warnings were present in v3 of the git-remote patch. v4 was
proposed to overcome these issues, but I have yet to respond to Junio's
feedback at http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg243652.html
(Message-ID: <xmqqr3vx9ad5.fsf@gitster.dls.corp.google.com>)

(cc'ing Junio to let him know I am still alive :p)

I'll get back to this next week, had some other tasks to prepare for.

Kind regards,
Peter
