Hello, apart from the question whether cloning from localhost makes sense or not (I use this from a script to make work from localhost or remote transparent), I experienced very slow network traffic - but no hang - while cloning like thus:
in shell 1: # fossil server ori.fossil in shell 2: $ fossil clone http://michai@localhost:8080/ copy.fossil ...resulting in about 70 kB/s traffic with very rare (a minute or more in between - didn't time exactly) single bursts. According to top(1), neither server- nor client-fossils seem to be doing anything CPU-intensive at that time. For isolation, I built a static fossil binary, and tried on 2 hosts; local to remote, and local to local (4 combinations). Both 'local to local' clones were slow (70 kB/s), while both 'remote to local' clones were fast (around 7 MB/s). The repositories were identical on both machines - 588 MB in 2121 files, corresponding to a 257 MB repo. I cannot share this repo, but I'm hoping it is a generic issue and can be reproduced. If not, let me know and I try to make another repo with the same symptom. Environment: host A: NetBSD lime 6.0.1 NetBSD 6.0.1 (GENERIC) amd64 (intel core2duo E4400) host B: NetBSD kiwi.LAN 6.0_BETA2 NetBSD 6.0_BETA2 (GENERIC) amd64 (intel core2duo E4400) fossil version: This is fossil version 1.25 [baa1ebb7d9] 2013-01-07 18:58:30 UTC I also tried cloning from host B to host B with a previous dynamically built fossil ("This is fossil version 1.24 [8d758d3715] 2012-10-22 12:48:04 UTC"), which also resulted in slow traffic, about 70 kB/s. I cannot remember having trouble with local 'cloning' like this before, so it may have been introduced recently. Sadly, I don't remember which fossil version did work ok, and didn't pinpoint the first failing version yet (if it's a fossil issue to begin with). Any idea what causes this, or how to debug further? I tried '--httptrace' with clone, but I'd need to be told what to look for in the generated traces.
