9 * The sub-process API makes it possible to run background sub-processes
10 * for the entire lifetime of a Git invocation. If Git needs to communicate
11 * with an external process multiple times, then this can reduces the process
12 * invocation overhead. Git and the sub-process communicate through stdin and
13 * stdout.
15 * The sub-processes are kept in a hashmap by command name and looked up
16 * via the subprocess_find_entry function. If an existing instance can not
17 * be found then a new process should be created and started. When the
18 * parent git command terminates, all sub-processes are also terminated.
20 * This API is based on the run-command API.
