I think I've now got the parallel pull use in ssh-pull to the point where
it could be useful to post. Similar stuff should work for http-pull (where
it will probably be more interesting), but I have to read more libcurl
documentation.
Initial results on ssh-pull are encouraging: on my local ethernet, I moved
the current git repository in 16 seconds, unpacked and with the push
side acting dumb. I think it was requesting objects about 6 ahead of where
it was reading them. I didn't test how much time the pipe spent empty in
the final version; when I was printing debugging messages, the pipe was
often empty, but it also took 3 times as long, and was therefore probably
blocking on debugging output, not the network.
This work is based on some now in -pu; what should I base my patches on? I
would ideally like to add a function to one of the patches in -pu and fix
a subtle bug in the other, in addition to further patches to actually use
the feature in ssh-pull.
