The transport code notices that both are supported; it just doesn't use the less convenient one. It would be wrong for helpers to advertize both and depend on only "fetch" being used. (For example, there's no reason that hg couldn't use one of these helpers and use the "import" capability despite the "fetch" capability also being advertized, because "import" produces results which are portable across local vcses.) -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
