Thanks Kyle for the patch! I applied it and ran

Unfortunately, I'm still getting

Are you certain you're running with the patch? I ask because earlier you sent this:

And as the patch below applies to Fetcher.pm at line 322 and inserts 8 lines, I do not see how you could be getting the same error message at line 335 if the patch was present. Even if you manually applied it by only inserting the two lines of code, the line numbers would be at least 337, not 335 as reported above. I also notice the path to Fetcher.pm is different from your earlier report.

That said, the fact that it happens right after r100 (which is when SVN::Pool::clear is getting called) suggests there's another file handle getting caught up in the SVN::Pool somehow. (When I try to clone gmsh, I got to r4885 before a server disconnection.)

It could be as simple as the open2 call FileHandle result in later perl versions ends up in the SVN::Pool whereas in earlier Perl and/or svn versions it does not.

What happens if you add this change on top of the Fetcher.pm change:

Subject: [PATCH] Git::SVN::Fetcher: avoid premature 'svn_hash' temp file closure

Since b19138b (git-svn: Make it incrementally faster by minimizing temp
files, v1.6.0), git-svn has been using the Git.pm temp_acquire and
temp_release mechanism to avoid unnecessary temp file churn and provide
a speed boost.

However, that change introduced a call to temp_acquire inside the
Git::SVN::Fetcher::close_file function for an 'svn_hash' temp file.
Because an SVN::Pool is active at the time this function is called, if
the Git::temp_acquire function ends up actually creating a new
FileHandle for the temp file (which it will the first time it's called
with the name 'svn_hash') that FileHandle will end up in the SVN::Pool
and should that pool have SVN::Pool::clear called on it that FileHandle
will be closed out from under Git::temp_acquire.

Since the only call site to Git::temp_acquire with the name 'svn_hash'
is inside the close_file function, if an 'svn_hash' temp file is ever
created its FileHandle is guaranteed to be created in the active
SVN::Pool.

This has not been a problem in the past because the SVN::Pool was not
being cleared.  However, since dfa72fdb (git-svn: reload RA every
log-window-size, v2.2.0) the pool has been getting cleared periodically at which point the FileHandle for the 'svn_hash' temp file gets closed.
Any subsequent calls to Git::temp_acquire for 'svn_hash', however,
succeed without creating/opening a new temporary file since it still has
the now invalid FileHandle in its cache.  Callers that then attempt to
use that FileHandle fail with an error.

We avoid this problem by making sure the 'svn_hash' temp file is created in the same place the 'svn_delta_...' and 'git_blob_...' temp files are
(and then temp_release'd) so that it can be safely used inside the
close_file function without having its FileHandle end up in an SVN::Pool
that gets cleared.
