Aha, now I understand what this patch is about. So I would suggest this alternate commit message:

  remote-testgit: make it explicit clear that we use the 'done' feature

  Previously we relied on passing '--use-done-feature ' to git fast-export, which is
  easy to miss when looking at this script. Since remote-testgit is also a reference
  implementation, we now explicitly output 'feature done' / 'done' to make it
  crystal clear that we implement this feature.
I'd state it like this, but I may have guessed what Felipe intended
incorrectly.

    remote-testgit: advertise "done" feature and write "done" ourselves
    
    Instead of letting "fast-export" advertise the feature and ending
    its stream with "done", do it ourselves.  This way, it would make it
    more clear to people who want to write their own remote-helper to
    produce fast-export streams without using "fast-export
    --use-done-feature" that they are supposed to end their stream with
    "done".
