Hm.  How would you recommend going about writing a script that takes
output from a command, transforms it, and then feeds it back into
that command's input?  Are sockets a more reliable way to do this kind
of IPC on Cygwin?

See reinit_git and try_dump from t9010-svn-fe.sh for context.

Thanks,
Jonathan
