Yes.  I have thought for years that it should be git-remote-helpers,
that "git help" should be tweaked to look for that, and that the
existing gitrepository-layout and friends should be replaced with
redirects.

I didn't say anything (except a random comment once on #git) because I
can't promise to have time soon to work on it.  Might try anyway.

Thanks,
Jonathan
