git-remote-fd − Reflect smart transport stream back to caller
"fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)
This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to a remote Git server. This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts calling git fetch, push, or archive.
If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket connected to a remote Git server (git−upload−pack, git−receive−pack, or git−upload−archive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are assumed to be pipes connected to a remote Git server (<infd> being the inbound pipe and <outfd> being the outbound pipe).
It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been completed (such as sending service request for git://) before this helper is started.
<anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for providing information to the user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in some context.
GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG
If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes.
git fetch fd::17 master
Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with git−upload−pack.
git fetch fd::17/foo master
Same as above.
git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)
Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from git−receive−pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to the same service.
git push fd::7,8/bar master
Same as above.
