Commands names are sent over the ssh pipe as plain text followed by newline. Arguments are sent as "[argname] [value length]\n" followed by the value. Responses are "[response length]\n" followed by the response.

Examples:

send:
heads
response:
41

Unknown commands elicit no response in early hg versions and zero length.

Version detection:

Because older Mercurial versions have no response to unknown commands, to detect a version you must send the hello command followed by a command with known output and then determine if the hello command responded before the known output was sent.
