Shawn O. Pearce b209671d04 Implement the no-done capability Smart HTTP clients may request both multi_ack_detailed and no-done in the same request to prevent the client from needing to send a "done" line to the server in response to a server's "ACK %s ready". For smart HTTP, this can save 1 full HTTP RPC in the fetch exchange, improving overall latency when incrementally updating a client that has not diverged very far from the remote repository. Unfortuantely this capability cannot be enabled for the traditional bi-directional connections. multi_ack_detailed has the client sending more "have" lines at the same time that the server is creating the "ACK %s ready" and writing out the PACK stream, resulting in some race conditions and/or deadlock, depending on how the pipe buffers are implemented. For very small updates, a server might actually be able to send "ACK %s ready", then the PACK, and disconnect before the client even finishes sending its first batch of "have" lines. This may cause the client to fail with a broken pipe exception. To avoid all of these potential problems, "no-done" is restricted only to the smart HTTP variant of the protocol.

Shawn O. Pearce b209671d04 Implement the no-done capability

Smart HTTP clients may request both multi_ack_detailed and no-done in
the same request to prevent the client from needing to send a "done"
line to the server in response to a server's "ACK %s ready".

For smart HTTP, this can save 1 full HTTP RPC in the fetch exchange,
improving overall latency when incrementally updating a client that
has not diverged very far from the remote repository.

Unfortuantely this capability cannot be enabled for the traditional
bi-directional connections.  multi_ack_detailed has the client sending
more "have" lines at the same time that the server is creating the
"ACK %s ready" and writing out the PACK stream, resulting in some race
conditions and/or deadlock, depending on how the pipe buffers are
implemented.  For very small updates, a server might actually be able
to send "ACK %s ready", then the PACK, and disconnect before the
client even finishes sending its first batch of "have" lines.  This
may cause the client to fail with a broken pipe exception.  To avoid
all of these potential problems, "no-done" is restricted only to the
smart HTTP variant of the protocol.
