Okay, if the frontend is in control usually there would be some nonzero exit code or signal; and if transport-helper is in control, I think it would notice after your series. I was just worried about invocations like foo-fast-export | git fast-import where an error might go undiagnosed (and any error message drowned out by the summary fast-import writes at the end).
