[PATCH] daemon: Skip unknown "extra arg" information

From: Shawn O. Pearce <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:46:54
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

If we don't recognize an extra arg supplied hidden behind the
command, we should skip it and look at the next extra arg, in
case we recognize the next one.

For example, we currently don't recognize the "user=" extra arg,
but we should still be able to start this connection anyway:

 perl -e '
   $s="git-upload-pack /.git\0user=me\0host=localhost\0";
   printf "%4.4x%s",4+length $s,$s
 ' | ./git-daemon --inetd --base-path=`pwd` --export-all

 This should go in maint.
