Git 1.7.7 (commit 9504bc9d, "transport-helper: change import
semantics", 2011-07-16) incompatibly changed the interface of the
"import" capability.

Before, git would always send a single import command, which the
remote helper would respond to with a fast-import stream, terminated
by end of file, meaning there was no way to fetch multiple refs in one
connection.  Nowadays, git instead sends a sequence of import lines:

	import refs/heads/foo
	import refs/heads/bar

terminated by a blank line.  The helper is to respond with a
fast-import stream terminated by the "done" command and process
further commands until another blank line indicates the end of the
command stream.

Hi Simon and Gabriel,

Here's a rough patch against git://github.com/lelutin/git-remote-bzr.git
master.

Without this patch, whenever I try to use "git clone bzr::<something>",
after doing all the work it removes the resulting repo and exits with
status 141 (SIGPIPE).  Maybe the transport-helper should mask SIGPIPE
when writing the final newline to avoid that.

I'd have prefered to write a patch for remote-bzr that works with
older versions of git fast-import, too, but it wasn't obvious how.
Hints welcome.

BTW, would you mind if I sent a patch to include git-remote-bzr in
git.git under contrib/?

Thanks for git remote-bzr!  I'd be happy for any thoughts you have.

Ciao,
Jonathan
