git-remote-fd

This remote helper reflects raw smart remote transport stream back to the
calling program. This is useful for example if some UI wants to handle
ssh itself and not use hacks via GIT_SSH.

+=================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-remote-fd - Reflect smart transport stream back to caller
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+"fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to remote git server.
+This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts calling git
+fetch, push or archive.
+
+If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be bidirectional socket connected
+to remote git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack or
+git-upload-achive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are assumed
+to be pipes connected to remote git server (<infd> being the inbound pipe
+and <outfd> being the outbound pipe.
+
+It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been completed
+(such as sending service request for git://) before this helper is started.
+
+<anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for provoding
+information to user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in some
+context.
+
+ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES:
+----------------------
+GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG::
+	If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes.
+
+EXAMPLES:
+---------
+git fetch fd::17 master::
+	Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with
+	git-upload-pack.
+
+git fetch fd::17/foo master::
+	Same as above.
+
+git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)::
+	Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from
+	git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to
+	same service.
+
+git push fd::7,8/bar master::
+	Same as above.
