8SYNOPSIS
9--------
10"fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)
11
12DESCRIPTION
13-----------
14This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to remote git server.
15This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts calling git
16fetch, push or archive.
17
18If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be bidirectional socket connected
19to remote git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack or
20git-upload-achive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are assumed
21to be pipes connected to remote git server (<infd> being the inbound pipe
22and <outfd> being the outbound pipe.
23
24It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been completed
25(such as sending service request for git://) before this helper is started.
26
27<anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for provoding
28information to user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in some
29context.
