Hang at commit time when using sftp or bzr+ssh

[Stephen AuYeung]

Thanks, John.

Could it be that it works for most because most are using bzr instead of bzrlib directly? Our situation could be different in that we have a process dedicated to perform bzr operations so there could be countless number of commits from the same process.

Do you also know the reason for multiple ssh processes running? I found the number going up and down and not just keep increasing.

Thanks,
Stephen

*usually* bzr should use connection sharing if someone has set it up, because then we don't have to do the connection handshake for every bzr operation.

I don't know why it isn't working for you, but we really wouldn't want to use -S none ourselves. (I know of at least one person who is using it quite happily.)

One option would be to create a Host entry in your ssh_config file that would be specific to bzr. Something like:

Host bzr-foo
  Hostname real-name.com
  ControlMaster None # or whatever the setting is

And then for bzr instead of doing:

bzr branch bzr+ssh://real-name.com/path

you would do

bzr branch bzr+ssh://bzr-foo/path
