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
