* upload-pack: bump keepalive default to 5 secondsjk/upload-pack-keepaliveJeff King2013-09-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no reason not to turn on keepalives by default. They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing progress and resetting the keepalive timer. We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of 5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider the connection hung.

* upload-pack: send keepalive packets during pack computationJeff King2013-09-091-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When upload-pack has started pack-objects, there may be a quiet period while pack-objects prepares the pack (i.e., counting objects and delta compression). Normally we would see (and send to the client) progress information, but if "--quiet" is in effect, pack-objects will produce nothing at all until the pack data is ready. On a large repository, this can take tens of seconds (or even minutes if the system is loaded or the repository is badly packed). Clients or intermediate proxies can sometimes give up in this situation, assuming that the server or connection has hung. This patch introduces a "keepalive" option; if upload-pack sees no data from pack-objects for a certain number of seconds, it will send an empty sideband data packet to let the other side know that we are still working on it.

| | | | | | | | | | | The existing documentation for "-d" does not make it obvious whether its argument is supposed to be a full svn path, a partial svn path, the glob from the config file, or what.

* git-svn: multiple fetch/branches/tags keys are supportedNathan Gray2013-05-201-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | "git svn" can be configured to use multiple fetch, branches, and tags refspecs by passing multiple --branches or --tags options at init time or editing the configuration file later, which can be handy when working with messy Subversion repositories. Add a note to the configuration section documenting how this works. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

In fixing these problems, make the SYNOPSIS consistent with that in git-log.txt. Also add the corresponding sections to OPTIONS.
