From d1a29af98e61de72841657bcaa86a93b38cda1c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Adam Roben <aroben@apple.com>

Subject: Git.pm: Add command_bidi_pipe and command_close_bidi_pipe

command_bidi_pipe hands back the stdin and stdout file handles from the
executed command. command_close_bidi_pipe closes these handles and terminates
the process.

+Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command_output_pipe()
+does but return both an input pipe filehandle and an output pipe filehandle.
+
+The function will return return C<($pid, $pipe_in, $pipe_out, $ctx)>.
+See C<command_close_bidi_pipe()> for details.

+
+Close the C<PIPE_IN> and C<PIPE_OUT> as returned from C<command_bidi_pipe()>,
+checking whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX>
+argument is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
+and it is the fourth value returned by C<command_bidi_pipe()>.  The call idiom
+is:
+
+	my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = $r->command_bidi_pipe('cat-file --batch-check');
+	print "000000000\n" $out;
+	while (<$in>) { ... }
+	$r->command_close_bidi_pipe($pid, $in, $out, $ctx);
+
+Note that you should not rely on whatever actually is in C<CTX>;
+currently it is simply the command name but in future the context might
+have more complicated structure.
