Documentation/remote-helpers: explain capabilities first
The current remote helper documentation is from the perspective of git, so to speak: it presents a full menu of commands for a person invoking a remote helper to choose from. In practice, that's less useful than it could be, since the daunted novice remote-helper author probably just wanted a list of commands needs to implement to get started. So preface the command list with an overview of each capability, its purpose, and what commands it requires. As a side effect, this makes it a little clearer that git doesn't choose arbitrary commands to run, even if the remote helper advertises all capabilities --- instead, there are well defined command sequences for various tasks.
