Sorry for the thinko. I see your point. My thinking before was that if we have packages like git_remote_helpers.git git_remote_helpers.hg to take care of such things as cloning remote repos in preparation fro running fast-export from them, then other VCSes (e.g., bazaar) might want to use these packages in their foreign VCS support, too. But that is probably too theoretical and it is always easy to expose what others actually need when the time comes. Thanks, Jonathan
