As I said in another response within this extended thread:
. . . there may be a fair number of similar import/fork needs in the
future, which means that it makes a lot more sense for me to figure
out how to get the import into an existing repository to work --
especially because people who do not have scp access to the server
at the moment may also be doing some of this work. If I just do it
the way you describe, I would need to do all of this work for every
instance, which is not a very reasonable state of affairs here.
The result is that, yes, if it was *just me*, and/or I was willing to
*do everything all the time*, it would be possible for me to do things
in a *more difficult way* every time, but I'm not likely to do any of:
1. give everyone in the world the ability to make these changes on the
server directly
2. screw around endlessly with ssh key configuration to limit privileges
to a particular set of commands that will probably end up changing
regularly so that I have to do that again, then again, and so on
3. do a bunch of extra work on top of extra work other people need to do
