Sounds good!

If the new version can be used in vc-git-dir-extra-headers, could you 
please make it so?

That aside, I was going to ask whether the new backend method should 
take a "remote-name" argument, but I don't know how many backends 
support different remotes. Or what other actual code is going to use 
this method anyway.
