Hi folks,
One potential solution to this would be to use ssh+anongit [1]
which FreeBSD offers as an alternative to https.
Incidentally, it's also mentioned as one of the clone URIs at on
the cgit webUI.
It can be used as the pull URI for anyone, just like the committer
repo - but one advantage it has is that things are transferred over
the sftp protocol if memory serves correctly.
This means that unlike http(s) which would need pipelining,
everything is one datastream of TCP packets instead of multiple
multiple HTTP GET requests.
It also has the advantage that as more servers are added to the
FreeBSD CDN, it becomes more geographically distributed without
giving up the source of truth repo status that most of us also
want. :)
I don't pull _as_ often as you, but I can't say that I've ever
noticed it failing - so maybe it'll work out better?
Yours,
Daniel Ebdrup Jensen
