Does this exchange suggest that at least we would need an update to
documentation around "done", as Matthieu's "why is 'done' needed even
though I am not calling with --done?" sounds like a very fair question.

No I think the documentation for fast-import is correct.

However, the documentation for git-remote-helpers is hopelessly outdated.

Good point. If somebody writes a working remote-helper using "import" to
trigger fast-import as the back-end, and if it breaks because we changed
the way fast-import is invoked and the helper needs to be updated, we at
least need to give them a useful documentation that clearly states how the
helper is expected to behave.

It does _not_ document recent changes; patches for that would
presumably come on top.

Will queue this version for now, if only as a reminder that we would need
more updates.

Thanks.
