"/"; I've found a problem with the patch. Since git-rev-parse will produce output (which will end up at the client and confuse it), we will have to use a fork/exec combination instead of system to be able to close STDOUT and STDERR of the child. Should I sent a patch on top of this one or as a replacement?
