   8SYNOPSIS
   9--------
  10"fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)
  11
  12DESCRIPTION
  13-----------
  14This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to a remote Git server.
  15This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts calling git
  16fetch, push or archive.
  17
  18If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket connected
  19to remote Git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack or
  20git-upload-archive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are assumed
  21to be pipes connected to a remote Git server (<infd> being the inbound pipe
  22and <outfd> being the outbound pipe.
  23
  24It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been completed
  25(such as sending service request for git://) before this helper is started.
  26
  27<anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for providing
  28information to user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in some
  29context.
