FR: Remote helper support

[RGBCube]

I was using Radicle with Git, and since it uses a peer-to-peer protocol, it has its own Git helper used to pull/push:

However, it does not work with jj as jj does not use git-remote-rad, and errors out while trying to use it:

I'm not sure how trivial/hard to add support for git remote helpers would be (or whether a jj-git-remote-rad would be necessary), but it would be a great addition!

For context, this is what the rad remote shows when I jj git remote list:

origin ssh://[email protected]/cull-os/cab
rad rad://z2AeopTVY58JJSJC3zroqEV5T3pNp

The next version will add git.subprocess option to shell out to git push/fetch. It'll probably fix this kind of problems.

That should indeed work! But I feel like remote helpers are much more fundamental to git push/pulling, so I suppose I'll keep this issue open until a maintainer/contributor decides.

Yuya is a maintainer. I'll close this issue but feel free to reopen if you don't think the issue Yuya linked to is sufficient.
