The only advantage of the "999" trickery is that it's less likely to come up again. If it doesn't, then we're happy. If it does, then we can always switch then. I also noticed that our GIT_TRACE=4 trickery has the same problem (it didn't trigger in the t5615 case because it doesn't actually run git inside the subshell). If we end up doing a "999" descriptor eventually, we should probably point GIT_TRACE at it, too. -Peff
