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
Right, if we disable the auto-printing of sha's then that aspect goes

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?
Probably something like:
svnrdump dump uri -r <lower>:<upper> |
svn-fe --fastimport='svn-filter-root ...'
Doesn't the transport helper take care of launching fast-import
itself?
