Re: [BUG] git-svn dcommit fails (connection closed unexpectedly)

Hi,

I'm using git-svn, which usually works fine, but I occasionally get
this:

$ git-svn dcommit           
        A       file1
        A       file2
Network connection closed unexpectedly: Connection closed unexpectedly at /path/to/git-svn line 401
$

The failure seems to depend on the commit's I'm pushing, since this is
reproducible when running several times "dcommit" for the same commit,
but the same command also usually works fine on the same repositories
(same git repo, same svn target).

The svn repository is accessed with svn+ssh://user@machine/path/.

Does the patch in
  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/47126
help?

If so, I'm not sure why it should be failing sometimes and not
all the time.  If your local username the same as the username
you're using for svn it shouldn't fail for the reason that patch
above is needed.

Using the native svn or svn+ssh protocol is definitely flakier in my
experience, and there are still known issues with connections closing
during *fetch*.  dcommit is actually a lot more straightforward
as it only connects once, whereas fetch can reconnect to different
parts of the repo for --follow-parent.

exporting the patch, applying it to an svn checkout, and "svn commit"
works fine.

Let me know if I can provide any other usefull information for
debugging.

Thanks,

Reproducible with both git 1.5.1.1 and the latest from git:

$ git-svn --version
git-svn version 1.5.2.rc3.3.ge347 (svn 1.4.2)

Which version of SVN is running on the server?
