Now that importtree=yes is supported for special remotes without also needing to implement exporttree=yes, it should be possible to make a lot more special remotes support tree importing.

builtin

These built-in ones could support it:

external special remotes

Lots of external special remotes could also probably support it. That will be left up to their maintainers, but it would make sense to ping the maintainers.

Update: Went down the list and thought about if it might make sense for each external to support it, and pinged those that seem likely to be worthwhile. --Joey
