remote-only-status branch ready for review

I've finished the work on the remote-only-status branch. I'd like to ask
for a review of the changes before I merge it to trunk. I'm currently
running a full round of tests on the branch, which I've sync'd with
trunk up to r1585988; results are looking good for now.

If the tests pass, and there are no objections, I'll merge to trunk
early next week.
