It's still not clear to me how we know that ra_serf driving the editor in a non depth-first manner is the problem here. Has that explanation been confirmed somehow? For example, does the workaround mentioned by danielsh work? Does using ra_neon instead of ra_serf avoid trouble as well? Is there a simple explanation of why violating the depth-first constraint would lead to multiple blob (i.e., file, not directory) deltas being opened in a row without an intervening close?
