+NAME
+----
+git-vcs-* - Helper programs for interoperation with foreign systems
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git vcs-<system>' <command> [options] [arguments]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+These programs are normally not used directly by end users, but are
+invoked by various git programs that interact with remote repositories
+when the repository they would operate on is part of a foreign
+system.
+
+Each 'git vcs-<system>' is a helper for interoperating with a
+particular version control system. Different helpers have different
+capabilities (limited both be the particular helper and by the
+capabilities of the system they connect to), and they report what
+capabilities they support.
+
+In general, these programs interact with a portion of the refs
+namespace that isn't used by the rest of git. The configuration will
+then (generally) map these refs into the remotes namespace. This
+allows the importer to do whatever it wants with its refs without
+affecting the state visible to normal git programs.
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+
+'capabilities'::
+ Prints the capabilities of the helper, one per line. These are:
+ - import: the basic import command
+ - marks: import should be done with a saved marks file
+ - find-new-branches: detect new branches
+ - export: the general export command
+ - fork: create a new branch and export to it
+ - anonymous-fork: make commits on a branch without an inherent name
+ - merge: merge branches (of whatever type the system supports)
+
+ If the helper doesn't support "merge", the default for pull is
+ to rebase instead of merging.
+
+'list'::
+ Takes the remote name, and outputs the names of refs. These
+ may be followed, after a single space, by "changed" or
+ "unchanged", indicating whether the foreign repository has
+ changed from the state in the ref. If the helper doesn't know,
+ it doesn't have to provide a value. (In particular, it
+ shouldn't do expensive operations, such as importing the
+ content, to see whether it matches.)
+
+'import'::
+ Takes the remote name and a list of names of refs, and imports
+ whatever it describes, by outputting it in git-fast-import
+ format.
+
+'export'::
+ Sends the branch to the foreign system and reimports it in
+ fast-import format.
+
+ Reads a list of commits from stdin, where each commit has no
+ parents which were neither produced by an earlier import nor
+ appearing earlier in the list, where some commit has the old
+ value of the branch as a parent, and where all commits listed
+ are ancestors of the last one. Furthermore:
+
+ - if the system doesn't support merges, each of these commits
+ has only a single parent;
+
+ - if the system doesn't support anonymous branches, the first
+ commit has the old value of the branch as a parent (if the
+ branch already had a value), and all parents are either the
+ commit listed immediately before or produced by an earlier
+ import;
+
+ - if the system doesn't support many-way merges, each commit
+ has at most two parents.
+
+ export produces output in fast-import format giving the
+ content after a round-trip through the foreign system. This
+ also contains extra headers to report the mapping of original
+ git commits to reimported git commits (to facilitate rewriting
+ local branches to use the history-as-reimported instead of the
+ git-only version).
+
+ export reports how much it managed to export by producing
+ commits in the fast-import stream that replace the listed
+ items that were successfully exported.
