The shell function that starts git-daemon wants to read the first line of
the daemon's stderr to ensure that it started correctly. Subsequent daemon
errors should be redirected to fd 4 (which is the terminal in verbose mode
or /dev/null in quiet mode). To that end the shell script used 'read' to
get the first line of output, and then 'cat &' to forward everything else
in a background process.
The problem is, that 'cat >&4 &' does not produce any output because the
shell redirects a background process's stdin to /dev/null. To have this
command invocation do anything useful, we have to redirect its stdin
explicitly (which overrides the /dev/null redirection).
The shell function connects the daemon's stderr to its consumers via a
FIFO. We cannot just do this:
read line <git_daemon_output
cat <git_daemon_output >&4 &
because after the first redirection the pipe is closed and the daemon
could receive SIGPIPE if it writes at the wrong moment. Therefore, we open
the readable end of the FIFO only once on fd 7 in the shell and dup from
there to the stdin of the two consumers.

In start_daemon, git-daemon is started as a background process. In
theory, the tests may try to connect before the daemon had a chance
to open a listening socket. Avoid this race condition by waiting
for it to output "Ready to rumble". Any other output is considered
an error and the test is aborted.
Should git-daemon produce no output at all, lib-git-daemon would
block forever. This could be fixed by introducing a timeout. On
the other hand, we have no timeout for other git commands which
could suffer from the same problem. Since such a mechanism adds
some complexity, I have decided against it.

The semantics of the git daemon tests are similar to the http transport
tests. In fact, they are only a slightly modified copy of t5550, plus the
newly added remote error tests.
All git-daemon tests will be skipped unless the environment variable
GIT_TEST_GIT_DAEMON is set.
