[PATCH 0/5] work around "transport-take-over" hack

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



"git fetch" sometimes needs to make a real request to the transport
after a single "fetch_refs" request, in order to follow tags that
the other end should have sent as part of the primary transfer with
"follow-tags" request.

However, a transport that defines "connect" has a gross hack that
destroys its internal state to render it unusable after processing a
single request, breaking this.

This is my attempt to work it around.  I am not too proud of it, but
after trying two other approaches to fix it closer to the real cause
(i.e. the implementation of Git-aware transport helper) and seeing
that both of them ended up being even less appealing and not worth
posting, I think this is probably the best fix to the issue.

Junio C Hamano (5):
  t5802: add test for connect helper
  fetch: rename file-scope global "transport" to "gtransport"
  fetch: refactor code that prepares a transport
  fetch: refactor code that fetches leftover tags
  fetch: work around "transport-take-over" hack
