git-remote-helper behavior on Windows, not recognizing blank line as terminator

Hello,
I'm having some issues with git remote helper behavior on Windows.

According to the protocol (https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitremote-helpers.html), when doing things like listing capabilities, git expects the remote helper to send back a blank line when it's done.

I'm having trouble having git recognize the blank line (see https://github.com/anishathalye/git-remote-dropbox/issues/13#issuecomment-133894730 for details).

Has anyone come across this behavior before? Am I doing something wrong, or could there be a bug in git? What's the best way to proceed?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Regards, Anish
