If I\nwant my helper to write more than one pack, I can't use this feature.\n\nWhat I would expect, given the man page text, is that if connectivity-\nok is output, the entire rev-list bit is skipped.  \n\nIs this a bug?  Or is it working as intended, and the documentation is\njust unclear?  Should there be an option for \"I (the remote helper)\nknow what I am doing, so please don't bother to check connectivity\"?\n\n\n\n"}]}
