Yeah. That is a slightly more awkward interface for command-line users,
but this is really meant to be an internal-to-git thing (just like
stateless-rpc is in the first place). And avoiding a tempfile is a good
thing.
However, I think you would need to teach the run-command API how to open
extra pipes to a child beyond stdout/stdin/stderr.
