I imagine your origin remote is over http. For some protocols, git delegates the hard work to a helper program and communicates over a pipe. In this case, the parent git process detects a problem and dies. The second message comes from the helper, who is surprised that the parent has gone away. Probably the right solution is teaching the parent to properly hang up the connection with the helper before exiting (alternatively, we could just silence the helper; that means we would get less output when the parent really does unexpectedly go away, but that isn't supposed to ever happen). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
