/*
* The sub-process API makes it possible to run background sub-processes
* for the entire lifetime of a Git invocation. If Git needs to communicate
* with an external process multiple times, then this can reduces the process
* invocation overhead. Git and the sub-process communicate through stdin and
* stdout.
*
* The sub-processes are kept in a hashmap by command name and looked up
* via the subprocess_find_entry function. If an existing instance can not
* be found then a new process should be created and started. When the
* parent git command terminates, all sub-processes are also terminated.
*
* This API is based on the run-command API.
