Interestingly, I just was involved in a discussion on IRC, where somebody (out of quotat concerns) wants to use sftp to push to a bare repository, which is served via HTTP. Unfortunately, it seems that all persons wanting to have some support for that, expect others to do the work for them. However, there is a miniscule non-zero chance that eventually somebody might want to realise an sftp push protocol (where you basically need the ls-remote part of the fetcher, too, to determine what to pack and send). And to complete a dumb sftp fetch protocol, you'd need a commit walker, so I'd like to have at least a minimal interface for commit walkers waiting for that saviour.
