Actually, it's slightly more interesting than this... since we don't set GIT_FLUSH, Git decides whether or not it will flush stdout after writing each commit based on whether or not stdout points to a regular file (in maybe_flush_or_die()). Which means that when writing directly to the webserver, Git flushes stdout for us, but when we redirect stdout to the cache it points to a regular file so Git no longer flushes the output for us. The patch is still correct, but perhaps the full explanation is interesting! _______________________________________________ CGit mailing list CGit@lists.zx2c4.com http://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/cgit
