Does this need an HTTP request (and round trip) per object? It appears
to. That's 2200 requests/round trips for my 800 patch benchmark.
Yes it does. On the other side, it needs no server-side CGI. But I guess
it should be pretty easy to write some kind of server-side CGI streamer,
and it would then easily take just a single HTTP request (telling the
server the commit ID and receiving back all the objects).
I don't understand what was wrong with Jeff Garzik's previous
suggestion of using http/1.1 pipelining to coalesce the round trips.
You can't do pipelining if you can't look ahead far enough to fill the pipe.
