Config option to disable side-band-64k for transport
Since commit 0c499ea the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k capability if advertised by the server. Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used over a network connection. The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing, quoted from ttps://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to mimic the functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll to treat sockets as Installable File System (IFS) handles, calling ReadFile, WriteFile, DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on them. This approach works well in simple cases on recent versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns. In particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write concurrently on the same socket (from one or more processes) will deadlock in a scenario where the read waits for a response from the server which is only invoked after the write. This is what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband codepath. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The new config option "sendpack.sideband" allows to override the side-band-64k capability of the server, and thus makes the dump git protocol work. Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from the sideband channel, therefore the default value of "sendpack.sideband" is still true.
