Yeah, see my comments on the other part of the thread. If we did write directly to a file, I think that would be enough here because git-daemon writes this entry before running the sub-process. So by the time ls-remote finishes, we know that it talked to upload-pack, and we know that before upload-pack was run, git-daemon wrote the log entry. That assumes git-daemon doesn't buffer its logs (but if it does, we should probably fix that). -Peff
