Basically this is what we want:
== pull ==
testgit transport-helper
* export -> import
# testgit.marks git.marks
== push ==
testgit transport-helper
* import <- export
# testgit.marks git.marks
Each side should be agnostic of the other side. Because testgit.marks
(our helper marks) could be anything, not necessarily a format parsable
by fast-export or fast-import. In this test they happen to be compatible,
because we use those tools, but in the real world it would be something
completely different. For example, they might be mapping marks to
mercurial revisions (certainly not parsable by fast-import/export).
This is what we have:
== pull ==
testgit transport-helper
* export -> import
# testgit.marks git.marks
== push ==
testgit transport-helper
* import <- export
# git.marks testgit.marks
The only reason this is working is that git.marks and testgit.marks are
roughly the same.
This new behavior used to not be possible before due to a bug in
fast-export, but with the bug fixed, it works fine.

If fast-export did not complete successfully the error handling code
itself would error out.
This was broken in commit 23b093ee0 (Brandon Casey, Wed Jun 9 2010,
Remove python 2.5'isms). Revert that commit an introduce our own copy
of check_call in util.py instead.
Tested by changing 'if retcode' to 'if not retcode' temporarily.

The following python 2.5 features were worked around:
* the sha module is used as a fallback when the hashlib module is
not available
* the 'any' built-in method was replaced with a 'for' loop
* a conditional expression was replaced with an 'if' statement
* the subprocess.check_call method was replaced by a call to
subprocess.Popen followed by a call to subprocess.wait with a
check of its return status
These changes allow the python infrastructure to be used with python 2.4
which is distributed with RedHat's RHEL 5, for example.
t5800 was updated to check for python >= 2.4 to reflect these changes.

Currently the remote helper infrastructure is only used by the curl
helper, which does not give a good impression of how remote helpers
can be used to interact with foreign repositories. Since implementing
such a helper is non-trivial it would be good to have at least one
easy-to-follow example demonstrating how to implement a helper that
interacts with a foreign vcs using fast-import/fast-export.
The testgit helper can be used to interact with remote git
repositories by prefixing the url with "testgit::".
