Warning! This patch isn't heavily-tested against remote servers, it only helped me limp by on a server I was having trouble with tonight. I was barely awake when working on this and have been living in a different timezone for more than a week, so don't trust it too much unless you're already having difficulty with some servers. This way we can avoid the spawning of a new SVN::Ra session by reusing the existing one. The most problematic issue is that some svn servers disallow too many connections from a single IP, so this will allow git-svn to fetch from those repositories with a higher success rate by using fewer connections. This sometimes showed up as a new (and redundant) [svn-remote "$parent_refname"] entry in $GIT_DIR/svn/.metadata. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@xxxxxxxx> --- Note: there are still cases where git-svn can open more than one connection to the SVN server, which can make some SVN setups/administrators unhappy. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I won't have time to properly fix all of these in the next few days. For now, if you get "connection closed unexpectedly" messages while fetching (and following parents), just restart git-svn and it'll pick up where it left off. git-svn.perl | 7 ++++++- 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-svn.perl b/git-svn.perl index 75e97cc..7ba8c8f 100755 --- a/git-svn.perl +++ b/git-svn.perl @@ -2226,7 +2226,12 @@ sub find_parent_branch { # just grow a tail if we're not unique enough :x $ref_id .= '-' while find_ref($ref_id); print STDERR "Initializing parent: $ref_id\n"; - $gs = Git::SVN->init($new_url, '', $ref_id, $ref_id, 1); + my ($u, $p) = ($new_url, ''); + if ($u =~ s#^\Q$url\E(/|$)##) { + $p = $u; + $u = $url; + } + $gs = Git::SVN->init($u, $p, $self->{repo_id}, $ref_id, 1); } my ($r0, $parent) = $gs->find_rev_before($r, 1); if (!defined $r0 || !defined $parent) { -- Eric Wong - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
