The parent git process is supposed to send us an empty line to indicate that the conversation is over. However, the parent process may die() if there is a problem with the operation (e.g., we try to fetch a ref that does not exist). In this case, it produces a useful message, but then remote-curl _also_ produces an unhelpful message: $ git pull origin matser fatal: couldn't find remote ref matser Unexpected end of command stream The "right" way to fix this is to teach the parent git to always cleanly close the connection to the helper, letting it know that we are done. Implementing that is rather clunky, though, as it would involve either replacing die() operations with returning errors up the stack (until we disconnect the transport), or adding an atexit handler to clean up any transport helpers left open. It's much simpler to just suppress the EOF message in remote-curl. It was not added to address any real-world situation in the first place, but rather a "we should probably report unexpected things" suggestion[1]. It is the parent git which drives the operation, and whose exit value actually matters. If the parent dies, then the helper has no need to complain (except as a debugging aid). In the off chance that the pipe is closed without the parent dying, it can still notice the non-zero exit code.
