From c096955c5bb8e20186cc7c07d4d12b77ddcd01c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2013 17:16:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] transport-helper: mention helper name when it dies When we try to read from a remote-helper and get EOF or an error, we print a message indicating that the helper died. However, users may not know that a remote helper was in use (e.g., when using git-over-http), or even what a remote helper is. Let's print the name of the helper (e.g., "git-remote-https"); this makes it more obvious what the program is for, and provides a useful token for reporting bugs or searching for more information (e.g., in manpages).
