 Mistakes in these things can result in data loss, and it's
 rather subtle stuff. --[[Joey]]
 
-> It may be better to implement [[importtree_only_remotes]] and make

+What I'd like to do is implement this in concert with someone who is
+implementing a special remote that uses it. So we can iterate on the
+protocol as needed to make it better. --[[Joey]]

+I do want to implement this though, assuming it turns out to be feasible
+for people to implement it despite its complexity, so I'm tagging this confirmed.

+(This is probably a prerequisite for the [[importtree_only_remotes]] idea,
+although it might make sense to implement that as a simpler protocol
+extension.)
