git pull hangs

[lbroekhuizen]

When there aremany new branches on the server which are not on the client, Git pull hangs during the communication with Bonobo. This happens when the response of upload-pack is larger than 4k.
The ouput (and input) buffer of a console app is maximum 4 k.
When the output buffer is full git stops processing the input buffer. Thereby the process hangs.

Thanks for this - it it the same issue as #840 would solve?

Hi Will,

Yes this solves the same problem. I did not find the other issue while searching for the problem.
I thought about using async calls. But the two async solutions I saw were changing the whole to async, which was a bit much. Or looping like #840. But when looping you use the processor for 100%. So quite heavy for the server.
Spawning another thread was les work and less pressure on the processor. The read hangs when there is no data.

Leon
