+        The fast-import commands <em>cat-blob</em> and <em>ls</em> can be used by remote-helpers

+        to retrieve information about blobs and trees that already exist in

+        fast-import&#8217;s memory. This requires a channel from fast-import to the

+        remote-helper.

+        If it is advertised in addition to "import", git establishes a pipe from

+        fast-import to the remote-helper&#8217;s stdin.

+        It follows that git and fast-import are both connected to the

+        remote-helper&#8217;s stdin. Because git can send multiple commands to

+        the remote-helper it is required that helpers that use <em>bidi-import</em>

+        buffer all <em>import</em> commands of a batch before sending data to fast-import.

+        This is to prevent mixing commands and fast-import responses on the

+        helper&#8217;s stdin.
