Yes.

Right, but if we cut out that step altogether, which I think might be
good, then we would have to make the tcp server say "oh, you want
write access? try ssh" or handle redirections for series branches.
But I don't think this really strongly affects this bug; it will only
need to be parallel to what's done for ssh.
