Yes, a la git-remote. I'd be much happier with that, too, especially since 
I think that this can be a relatively small and easy-to-review script. I 
really was intimidated by the long patch series, also because I thought 
that it shouldn't be that much work on top of what Linus did.

P.S.: Linus paid for his Caps Lock key, so he might as well use it.
