That is why you would modify it; so it does what you want, and instead of using
remote-helper's import/export, it would use fetch/push.

Either way, I say you should hack Git and do as many changes as you want, and
once you have some numbers, it would be clearer what approach should be the
ideal one, how much is the benefit, and then we could discuss if it's worth the
modifications in Git needed.
