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 a remote Git
     server. This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts  call-
     ing git fetch, push, or archive.

     If	 only  <infd>  is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket con-
     nected to	a  remote  Git	server	(git-upload-pack,  git-receive-pack,  or
     git-upload-archive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are assumed
     to be pipes connected to a 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 providing  in-
     formation to the user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in some con-
     text.

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-up-
	 load-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-re-
	 ceive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to the same service.

     git push fd::7,8/bar master
	 Same as above.
