It appears to me that the svn_delta_editor_t API [1] > requires this close_file call. It looks to me like this is Issue > #2932 [2]. Indeed it is. And it is actually documented here: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/api-errata/1.7/ra001.txt and mentioned here: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7.html#svnrdump In other words, this is a limitation of the Serf-based backend that has been around since Subversion 1.4. I'm aware that it isn't documented as well as it should be, but the bulk-mode workaround exists in part as a workaround for that, effectively disabling the more efficient HTTPv2 protocol. In the meantime, it might be a good idea to relax the restrictions in git-svn to account for the way the HTTPv2 protocol works. -- Brane -- Branko Čibej | Director of Subversion WANdisco // Non-Stop Data e. br...@wandisco.com
