    -    transport-helper: run do_take_over in connect_helper
    +    transport-helper: call do_take_over() in connect_helper
     
         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.
    +    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.
     
    -    The subsequent commit introduces remote archive for a stateless-rpc
    -    connection. But 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 or a
    -    service like "git-upload-pack-archive", the remote helper may receive a
    -    SIGPIPE signal and exit early. To have a graceful disconnect method by
    -    calling "do_take_over()" will solve this issue.
    +    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 or a service like "git-upload-pack-archive", the
    +    remote helper may receive a SIGPIPE signal and exit early. To have a
    +    graceful disconnect method by calling do_take_over() will solve this
    +    issue.
    +
    +    The subsequent commit will introduce remote archive over a stateless-rpc
    +    connection.
