Hello,
I am using a rather complicated distributed workflow to keep various git repositories in sync. Basically I am creating bundles, pushing them to a server, and pull them again using a special application which output the bundle content to stdin. Unfortunately git-fetch and friends do not like /dev/stdin as input. Is there any way to pass the bundle contents via stdin to git?
Minimal sample:
~$ mkdir test
~$ cd test
~/test$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/test/test/.git/
~/test$ echo a > a
~/test$ git add -A
~/test$ git commit -m test
[master (root-commit) 4ed639a] test
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 a
~/test$ git bundle create b --all
Counting objects: 3, done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 193 bytes, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
~/test$ cat b | git pull -- /dev/stdin
fatal: '/dev/stdin' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
