Hello, I found an issue with the ra_serf SVN module. The problem is that during the commit via ra_serf it tries to keep all files open (or something like this), so if there is a limit on number of open files and it's lower that the number of files to commit, then SVN client fails with: === svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Can't find a temporary directory: Internal error ===
To reproduce the issue one need to create an empty repository, check it out via HTTP/HTTPS, then populate with, say, 2000 files. At this point, set the number of open files limit to 1024 (ulimit -n 1024). After this if you try to commit them back it will work perfectly with ra_neon, but will fail if you are using ra_serf. I believe it could be reproduced with smaller numbers, say, 200 files and a limit of 150, but I haven't tested it. I've verified this with the latest version of Subversion (1.6.9), the latest version of neon (0.29.3), and serf 0.30 (I had no time to build and verify version 0.31, sorry). Hope this helps. -- Dmitry D. Khlebnikov Openwall [http://openwall.com]
