get_pack() receives a pair of file descriptors that communicate with upload-pack at the remote end. In order to support the case where the side-band demultiplexer runs in a thread, and, hence, in the same process as the main routine, we must not close the readable file descriptor early. The handling of the readable fd is changed in the case where upload-pack supports side-band communication: The old code closed the fd after it was inherited to the side-band demultiplexer process. Now we do not close it. The caller (do_fetch_pack) will close it later anyway. The demultiplexer is the only reader, it does not matter that the fd remains open in the main process as well as in unpack-objects/index-pack, which inherits it. The writable fd is not needed in get_pack(), hence, the old code closed the fd. For symmetry with the readable fd, we now do not close it; the caller (do_fetch_pack) will close it later anyway. Therefore, the new behavior is that the channel now remains open during the entire conversation, but this has no ill effects because upload-pack does not read from it once it has begun to send the pack data. For the same reason it does not matter that the writable fd is now inherited to the demultiplexer and unpack-objects/index-pack processes.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
