Sorry I missed this thread earlier. I'll drop this if it's not something that's wanted.

This is exactly the way gitolite works. It's placed between git-server and git-client. Does some checks and approves a connection if some criterias isn't met. See the example when trying to clone an non-existing repo from gitolite. You won't get an git error but a gitolite error.

I can understand why my idea is beeing rejected but I can't see why the gitolite way should be considered sane. It seems more like an hack to me (according to git design principles).

So from a git point of view, why is it sane for passing through STDERR but not STDIN and STDOUT?

(I realize that this is a closed matter but would appriciate an explanation solely for my own educational purpose).
