Yes too early close of the input data is the thing which
triggers the "remote end hung up unexpectedly" message.

do you mean git receive-pack? This is strange, all its
parents should be waiting for it to exit.

This should be some other test than push_plain, some of the
gzip related ones. Are there other tests failing?

This is interesting. http-backend for some reason closes its
stdout. Here it then tries to write there something. I have
not seen it in my push_plain run. Maybe it worth redirecting instead
to stderr, to avoid losing some diagnostics?
