There is a reason why you call the series "foreign" vcs helpers.  And 
that's because it would be very wrong to pretend that they are the rule,

I do not know what you mean by "very wrong".

If the name bothers you, you can think of the earlier part of the series
cleaning up the transport code so that it makes easier to choose which
transport, either internal or external, and ports the native transport
support to use the mechanism.  Then the rest of the series builds on it to
add further support for "foreign" vcs helpers.
