So to make it clear, I now request that you do:

 1) Remove all the code.

...
I'll do that, but just one thing to make sure---do you want the
helper to exit with status 0?

It doesn't matter; if the remote helper doesn't respond to the commands
transport-helper exits with 128.

You're right.

 4) Re-add the following release note:

    * "git push" via transport-helper interface (e.g. remote-hg) has
      been updated to allow forced ref updates in a way similar to the
      natively supported transports

I am not sure if this one is consistent with 1), as remote-hg will
no longer be with the release.

Remove '(e.g. remote-hg)', the rest still applies.

True enough.

I was already deep in today's -rc4 tagging before this exchange, so
it may be a while until the result is pushed out, but as far as I
know the helpers are now stubs, and README no longer says "a random
version that will go stale is kept here merely for convenience".

As additional topics that touch contrib/remote-helpers/ need to be
reverted from 'next', the final pushout may take longer than usual.
We'll see.
