When using a Perl script on a system where "perl" found on user's $PATH
could be ancient or otherwise broken, we allow builders to specify the
path to a good copy of Perl with $PERL_PATH. The gitweb test forgot to
use that Perl when running its test.

While the majority of scripts use '#!/usr/bin/perl', some use
'#!/usr/bin/env perl'. In the end there is no difference, because the
Makefile rewrites "#!.*perl" with "#!$PERL_PATH" in scripted
Porcelains before installing. Nevertheless, the second form can be
misleading, because it suggests that perl found first in $PATH will be
used.

The shell function that starts git-daemon wants to read the first line of
the daemon's stderr to ensure that it started correctly. Subsequent daemon
errors should be redirected to fd 4 (which is the terminal in verbose mode
or /dev/null in quiet mode). To that end the shell script used 'read' to
get the first line of output, and then 'cat &' to forward everything else
in a background process.
The problem is, that 'cat >&4 &' does not produce any output because the
shell redirects a background process's stdin to /dev/null. To have this
command invocation do anything useful, we have to redirect its stdin
explicitly (which overrides the /dev/null redirection).
The shell function connects the daemon's stderr to its consumers via a
FIFO. We cannot just do this:
read line <git_daemon_output
cat <git_daemon_output >&4 &
because after the first redirection the pipe is closed and the daemon
could receive SIGPIPE if it writes at the wrong moment. Therefore, we open
the readable end of the FIFO only once on fd 7 in the shell and dup from
there to the stdin of the two consumers.

After running rev-list --boundary to retrieve the list of boundary
commits, "git bundle create" runs its own revision walk. If in this
stage git encounters an unfamiliar option, it writes a message with an
unbalanced quotation mark:
error: unrecognized argument: --foo'
Drop the stray quote to match the "unrecognized argument: %s" message
used elsewhere and save translators some work.
This is mostly a futureproofing measure: for now, the "rev-list
--boundary" command catches most strange arguments on its own and the
above message is not seen unless you try something esoteric like "git
bundle create test.bundle --header HEAD".

Test "pushing to local repo" in t5800-remote-helpers can hang
due to a race condition in git-remote-testgit. Fix it by
setting stdin to unbuffered.
On the writer side, "git push" invokes push_refs_with_export(),
which sends to stdout the command "export\n" and immediately
starts up "git fast-export". The latter writes its output stream
to the same stdout.
On the reader side, remote helper "git-remote-testgit" reads from
stdin to get its next command. It uses getc() to read characters
from libc up until \n. Libc has buffered a potentially much
larger chunk of stdin. When it sees the "export\n" command, it
forks "git fast-import" to read the stream.
If fast-export finishes before git fast-import starts, the
fast-export output can end up in libc's buffer in
git-remote-testgit, rather than in git fast-import. The latter
hangs indefinitely on a now-empty stdin.
