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. 30 31ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 32--------------------- 33GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG:: 34 If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes. 35 36EXAMPLES 37-------- 38`git fetch fd::17 master`:: 39 Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with 40 git-upload-pack. 41 42`git fetch fd::17/foo master`:: 43 Same as above. 44 45`git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)`:: 46 Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from 47 git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to 48 same service. 49 50`git push fd::7,8/bar master`:: 51 Same as above. 52 53Documentation 54-------------- 55Documentation by Ilari Liusvaara and the git list <git@vger.kernel.org> 56 57GIT 58--- 59Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
