This patch allows git-svn to fetch successfully using the serf library when given an https?: url to fetch from. Unfortunately some svn servers do not seem to be configured well for use with the serf library. This can cause fetching to take longer compared to the neon library or actually cause timeouts during the fetch. When timeouts occur git-svn can be safely restarted to fetch more revisions. A new temp_is_locked function has been added to Git.pm to facilitate using the minimal number of temp files possible when using serf. The problem that occurs when running git-svn fetch using the serf library is that the previously used temp file is not always unlocked before the next temp file needs to be used. To work around this problem, a new temp name is used if the temp name that would otherwise be chosen is currently locked. Versions v2-v3 of the patch introduced a bug when attempting to change the _temp_cache function to use the new temp_is_locked function at the suggestion of a reviewer. This version reverts that as the logic in _temp_cache isn't really conducive to that change because of the tests it makes and the change was causing problems. This is the single change that is reverted in Git.pm compared to v3 of the patch: diff --git a/perl/Git.pm b/perl/Git.pm index 0ba15b9..204fdc6 100644 --- a/perl/Git.pm +++ b/perl/Git.pm @@ -1277,7 +1277,7 @@ sub _temp_cache { my $temp_fd = \$TEMP_FILEMAP{$name}; if (defined $$temp_fd and $$temp_fd->opened) { - if (temp_is_locked($name)) { + if ($TEMP_FILES{$$temp_fd}{locked}) { throw Error::Simple("Temp file with moniker '" . $name . "' already in use"); } Other than that single change, this patch series is identical to v3, and in particular the 0002 perl/Git/SVN/Fetcher.pm change is identical to that of v3. Kyle J.
