Since the svn remote helper relies on this, it seems worth working on,
yeah.  As for how to spend your time (and whether to beg someone else
to work on it instead :)): I'm not sure what's on your plate or where
you are with respect to the original plan for the summer at the
moment, so it would be hard for me to give useful advice about how to
balance things.

What did you think of the suggestion of adding a new bidi-import
capability and command to the remote helper protocol?  I think this
would be clean and avoid causing a regression on Windows, but it's
easily possible I am missing something fundamental.

Thanks,
Jonathan
