So, I found (with some helpful hints from Robert who caught the final
nail in the coffin) a good reason why we really can't run a
git-cvsserver globally.
Any user can point their cvs client at the repository. And check out
an arbitrary branch, tag *or individual commit*. Doing so will create
a 50Mb sqlite database on the server with cache information about that
head.
I'm still wondering why we don't simply lobotomize git-cvsserver to
refuse requests to check out anything except the active branch tips.
It's only a Perl script. I could probably hack it in an hour,
there are those here who could do it in ten minutes.
Yeah, that would not be a bad idea - if someone can do it who feels
comfortable doing it :-)
I could probably hack it up as well, but I wouldn't trust myself to
have convered all the bases.
Are we sure that's going to stop the DOS issue?
cheers
