Subject: [PATCH] column: support piping stdout to external git-column process
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

For too complicated output handling, it'd be easier to just spawn
git-column and redirect stdout to it. This patch provides helpers
to do that.
