From 25f6f325d7a8f7cb686a9ffd9fa2c00b3aa85a60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias Urlichs Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 18:13:30 +0200 Subject: svn import: Add direct HTTP access Some SVN repositories that are accessible through HTTP don't like when I retrieve files using SVN methods ("internal server error"). Therefore, I added an option to get the contents using (persistent) HTTP directly. This also reduces round-trip time, from two or three requests down to one. Also corrected error handling a bit.
