In the end I ended up doing the following: - kept most of your "feed NULs generated from a helper program via pipe, instead of reading from /dev/zero" patch, - replaced the helper program used in the above with the test-tool one by Dscho, - used Max's "do not reuse the output file---the background writer about to die may still have it open when the next test starts", - used Max's "when testing the program with overly large input declared with content-length, do not have to feed from /dev/zero; /dev/null suffices as a mistaken program attempting to read would die when seeing EOF anyway" patch to reduce one mention of /dev/zero (or one pipe from the helper output) further. Hopefully Dscho's Azure thing would also be happy with one less use of Perl script. As I said earlier, a few places in t/ still mention /dev/zero and I think it is a real bug on platforms without /dev/zero in t4153: $ git grep -h dev/zero t/ test_must_fail test_terminal git am --3way
