Re: [PATCH 0/6] Improve remote helper documentation

Max Horn [off-list ref] writes:

Various remote helper capabilities and commands were not
documented, in particular 'export', or documented in a misleading
way (e.g. 'for-push' was listed as a ref attribute understood by
git, which is not the case). This patch series changes that, and
also address some other things in the remote helper documentation
that I found jarring when reading through it.

Note that the description of export and (im|ex)port-marks probably can be
improved, and I hope that somebody who knows more about them
than me and/or is better at writing documentation will do just that.
But I felt it was better to provide something than to do nothing
and only complain, as I did previously on this subject ;-).

A second ping to people who have touched transport-helper.c,
remote-testsvn.c, git-remote-testgit, and contrib/remote-helpers/ in
the past 18 months for comments.  I've re-read the documentation
updates myself and didn't find anything majorly objectionable.

Except for a minor nit in 6/6; I think "defined options" should be
"defined attributes".
