[PATCH 1/6] Allow run_command stdout_to_stderr when stderr is a pipe

[PATCH 1/6] Allow run_command stdout_to_stderr when stderr is a pipe

[Shawn O. Pearce]

To allow receive-pack hooks to have their stdout and stderr streams
redirected to the same pipe we need to setup the pipe on fd 2 before
we dup fd 2 over to fd 1.  This way we can use a single pipe to
capture both stdout and stderr and redirect it to a sideband channel,
or elsewhere.
