All -communication is in pkt-line format (see technical/protocol-common.txt) -over standard input and standard output. - -Handshake ---------- - -Git starts by sending a welcome message (for example, -"git-filter-client"), a list of supported protocol version numbers, and -a flush packet. Git expects to read the welcome message with "server" -instead of "client" (for example, "git-filter-server"), exactly one -protocol version number from the previously sent list, and a flush -packet. All further communication will be based on the selected version. -The remaining protocol description below documents "version=2". Please -note that "version=42" in the example below does not exist and is only -there to illustrate how the protocol would look like with more than one -version. - -After the version negotiation Git sends a list of all capabilities that -it supports and a flush packet. Git expects to read a list of desired -capabilities, which must be a subset of the supported capabilities list, -and a flush packet as response: ------------------------- -packet: git> git-filter-client -packet: git> version=2 -packet: git> version=42 -packet: git> 0000 -packet: git< git-filter-server -packet: git< version=2 -packet: git< 0000 -packet: git> capability=clean -packet: git> capability=smudge -packet: git> capability=not-yet-invented -packet: git> 0000 -packet: git< capability=clean -packet: git< capability=smudge -packet: git< 0000 ------------------------- - -Shutdown --------- - -Git will close -the command pipe on exit.
