[PATCH v6 5/6] transport-helper: call do_take_over() in connect_helper

From: Jiang Xin <zhiyou.jx@alibaba-inc.com>

After successfully connecting to the smart transport by calling process_connect_service() in connect_helper(), run do_take_over() to replace the old vtable with a new one which has methods ready for the smart transport connection. This fixes the exit code of git-archive in test case "archive remote http repository" of t5003.

The connect_helper() function is used as the connect method of the vtable in "transport-helper.c", and it is called by transport_connect() in "transport.c" to setup a connection. The only place that we call transport_connect() so far is in "builtin/archive.c". Without running do_take_over(), it may fail to call transport_disconnect() in run_remote_archiver() of "builtin/archive.c". This is because for a stateless connection and a service like "git-upload-archive", the remote helper may receive a SIGPIPE signal and exit early. Call do_take_over() to have a graceful disconnect method, so that we still call transport_disconnect() even if the remote helper exits early.
