[PATCH 1/3] git web--browse: Add --stdin option support

[pasky@suse.cz]

[-- Attachment #1: t/web--browse/stdin.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1868 bytes --]

This ugly hack seems to be necessary to safely pass URLs containing
query string even in the MinGW environment from TCL (git-gui). I admit
that it is not nice, but I at least did not manage to find any other
way to achieve that even after spending very long time debugging this
mysterious problem.

This patch has been sponsored by Novartis.
