We did, long ago, have some EPIPE problems with upload-pack and SSH clients, but it all predates cdf4fb8. So I think it's redundant to unblock SIGPIPE in git-upload-pack. I'll tidy up as Junio recommended, recheck the tests, and submit an updated patch shortly. --Patrick -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
