'bidi-import'::
|
||||||
|
The fast-import commands 'cat-blob' and 'ls' can be used by remote-helpers
|
||||||
|
to retrieve information about blobs and trees that already exist in
|
||||||
|
fast-import's memory. This requires a channel from fast-import to the
|
||||||
|
remote-helper.
|
||||||
|
If it is advertised in addition to "import", git establishes a pipe from
|
||||||
|
fast-import to the remote-helper's stdin.
|
||||||
|
It follows that git and fast-import are both connected to the
|
||||||
|
remote-helper's stdin. Because git can send multiple commands to
|
||||||
|
the remote-helper it is required that helpers that use 'bidi-import'
|
||||||
|
buffer all 'import' commands of a batch before sending data to fast-import.
|
||||||
|
This is to prevent mixing commands and fast-import responses on the
|
||||||
|
helper's stdin.
