Perhaps an alternative would be:
write_fetch_command () {
write_command fetch &&
echo "0001" &&
echo "no-progress" &&
cat /dev/stdin &&
echo "done" &&
echo "0000"
}
Which would then be called like so:
write_fetch_command >pkt_cmd <<-EOF &&
want-ref refs/heads/main
have $(git rev-parse a)
EOF
test-tool pkt-line pack <pkt_cmd >in &&
test-tool serve-v2 --stateless-rpc >out <in &&
I'm not sure how portable that is, though. Maybe using `while read -r` instead
of `cat /dev/stdin`?
If you drop /dev/stdin, the result would be emimently portable.
"cat" without any argument reads from the standard input stream
and copies it to the standard output stream.
