Sverre Rabbelier 7aeaa2fc0a remote-helpers: add testgit helper
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::".
