RE: [EXT] Re: ls-remote bug
But why when cancelling stderr redirect to stdout (2>&1) all works well ?

This partly undoes 68ffe095a2 (transport: also free remote_refs in transport_disconnect(), 2021-03-21). With that patch connections are kept open during ref sorting and printing.
Perhaps the other side gets tired of waiting and aborts? Maybe splitting transport_disconnect() into two functions -- one for disconnecting and and for cleaning up -- would make sense? And disconnecting as soon as possible? Just guessing -- didn't actually reproduce the bug. Still, demo patch below.
