Does the user know what a remote helper is? Could we point them at
some helpful docs in case they don't?
That's a good point. I wonder if it would be enough to say:

  fatal: Reading from helper git-remote-X failed

That might make it more clear what the helper's role is, and showing the
command name gives the user a starting point for running "man".
