OK, that sounds sensible to me.

Is the first flush packet one too many?
If there is nothing then I think we shouldn't
send any packets?!
I agree with the remaining two flush packets.

OK!

Right. I agree with the protocol above and I will implement it
that way.
There is one more thing: I introduced a return value "status=error-all".
Using this the filter can signal Git that it does not want to process
any other file using the particular command.
Jakub came up with this idea here:
"Another response, which I think should be standarized, or at
least described in the documentation, is filter driver refusing
to filter further (e.g. git-LFS and network is down), to be not
restarted by Git."
http://public-inbox.org/git/607c07fe-5b6f-fd67-13e1-705020c267ee%40gmail.com/
I think it is a good idea. Do you see arguments against it?
Thanks,
Lars
