I don't think so, but I think it should be possible to make packet_write/packet_read always get a socket, by calling receive-pack and upload-pack with a socket pair instead of a pair of pipes. Actually, IIRC, this would be beneficial for making programs not leak file descriptors or double-close them, because there's already the issue on *nix that it isn't consistant whether both directions are the same file descriptor. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Wed Jan 31 04:10:07 2007
