From 73ffac3b38e1a62b922a0eb462f41fced6a18ebf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Uli Heller Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2013 09:35:29 +0200 Subject: git-svn: fix termination issues for remote svn connections git-svn used in combination with serf to talk to svn repository served over HTTPS dumps core on termination. This is caused by a bug in serf, and the most recent serf release 1.3.1 still exhibits the problem; a fix for the bug exists (see https://code.google.com/p/serf/source/detail?r=2146). Until the bug is fixed, work around the issue within the git perl module Ra.pm by freeing the private copy of the remote access object on termination, which seems to be sufficient to prevent the error from happening. Note: Since subversion-1.8.0 and later do require serf-1.2.1 or later, this issue typically shows up when upgrading to a recent version of subversion. Credits go to Jonathan Lambrechts for proposing a fix to Ra.pm, Evgeny Kotkov and Ivan Zhakov for fixing the issue in serf and pointing me to that fix. Signed-off-by: Uli Heller Tested-by: Kyle J.
