The caller has to take care of backflow of data. Even if the "cat" command were never used, at least 3>/dev/null would be necessary to avoid fast-import waiting forever for the frontend to read from it.
Why is that? If we disable the auto-printing of sha's wouldn't it only write to the fd iff the cat command is used?
One way to work around this would be for svn-fe to launch fast-import itself.
What would the pipeline look like then? In particular for git-remote-svn? -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
