It seems easiest to have a singleton Gcf2Client client object per daemon worker for all inboxes to use. This reduces overall FD usage from pipes. The `public-inbox-gcf2' command + manpage are gone and a `$^X' one-liner is used, instead. This saves inodes for internal commands and hopefully makes it easier to avoid mismatched PERL5LIB include paths (as noticed during development :x). We'll also make the existing cat-file process management infrastructure more resilient to BOFHs on process killing sprees (or in case our libgit2-based code fails on us). (Rare) PublicInbox::WWW PSGI users NOT using public-inbox-httpd won't automatically benefit from this change, and extra configuration will be required (to be documented later).

That git directory -will be suffixed with "/objects" and treated as an alternate. -It writes nothing to stdout in this case. - -Otherwise it behaves like C<git cat-file --batch>, but only accepts -unabbreviated hexadecimal object IDs in its standard input. -Its output format is identical to C<git cat-file --batch>.
