When git spawns a remote helper program (like git-remote-http), the last thing we do before closing the pipe to the child process is to send a blank line, telling the helper that we are done issuing commands. However, the helper may already have exited, in which case the parent git process will receive SIGPIPE and die. In particular, this can happen with the remote-curl helper when it encounters errors during a push. The helper reports individual errors for each ref back to git-push, and then exits with a non-zero exit code. Depending on the exact timing of the write, the parent process may or may not receive SIGPIPE. This causes intermittent test failure in t5541.8, and is a side effect of 5238cbf (remote-curl: Fix push status report when all branches fail). Before that commit, remote-curl would not send the final blank line to indicate that the list of status lines was complete; it would just exit, closing the pipe. The parent git-push would notice the closed pipe while reading the status report and exit immediately itself, propagating the failing exit code. But post-5238cbf, remote-curl completes the status list before exiting, git-push actually runs to completion, and then it tries to cleanly disconnect the helper, leading to the SIGPIPE race above. This patch drops all error-checking when sending the final "we are about to hang up" blank line to helpers. There is nothing useful for the parent process to do about errors at that point anyway, and certainly failing to send our "we are done with commands" line to a helper that has already exited is not a problem.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
