Because the helper stops talking too early. But as I said, I actually
don't know the protocol.
I was just infering what I saw in transport-helper.c: get_helper() dup's
the output of the helper process and stores it in data->out (after
fdopen()ing on it). (The original file descriptor is handed over to
fast-import or fast-export.)
Actually, I didn't find a spot where data->out was used except to fclose()
it. But I take it that there is a reason that it exists and infer that
further output from the helper is expected by something after fast-import
or fast-export have exited.
But I may be completely off...
