Re: [PATCH/RFC] recv_sideband: Band #2 always goes to stderr

Johannes Sixt schrieb:

All data producers and data consumers *in git* use band #2 to transport
error messages and progress report. GitTorrent cannot not talk to
upload-pack or upload-archive and expect to get arbitrary binary data over
band #2.

For use-cases that you have in mind in GitTorrent, the *protocol* may be a
good choice, but the current implementation is definitely a special case.

And it really is: Did you notice that stuff that recv_sideband sends over
the channel named 'err' (before my patch) has "remote: " prepended on
every line? That's certainly not an implementation that you want if you
send binary data over that band!
