And even for an isolated group where everybody knows that everybody else runs DAV-enabled clients, they need info/refs prepared for ls-remote and git-fetch script, which means you will run update-server-info to keep objects/info/packs up to date. Nick, do you see holes in my logic? -- >8 -- http-fetch.c: drop remote_ls() While doing remote_ls() over DAV potentially allows the server side not to keep objects/info/pack up-to-date, misconfigured or buggy servers can silently ignore or not to respond to DAV requests and makes the client hang. The server side (unfortunately) needs to run git-update-server-info even if remote_ls() removes the need to keep objects/info/pack file up-to-date, because the caller of git-http-fetch (git-fetch) and other clients that interact with the repository (e.g. git-ls-remote) need to read from info/refs file (there is no code to make that unnecessary by using DAV yet). Perhaps the right solution in the longer-term is to make info/refs also unnecessary by using DAV, and we would want to resurrect the code this patch removes when we do so, but let's drop remote_ls() implementation for now. It is causing problems without really helping anything yet. git will keep it for us until we need it next time. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
