/*
 * The sub-process API makes it possible to run background sub-processes
 * for the entire lifetime of a Git invocation. If Git needs to communicate
 * with an external process multiple times, then this can reduces the process
 * invocation overhead. Git and the sub-process communicate through stdin and
 * stdout.
 *
 * The sub-processes are kept in a hashmap by command name and looked up
 * via the subprocess_find_entry function.  If an existing instance can not
 * be found then a new process should be created and started.  When the
 * parent git command terminates, all sub-processes are also terminated.
 *
 * This API is based on the run-command API.
