Re: [PATCH 1/2] git: use --batch-command in git 2.36+ to save processes

[Eric Wong]

--batch-command seems to be causing problems with ViewVCS.
I've been noticing "Failed to retrieve generated blob" errors in
syslog.  It doesn't affect any mail retrievals AFAIK, since
those are (currently) separate processes and those are contents-only
(no info header-only retrievals)

Not sure what's going on, yet, but using this to gather
more data:
