git-svn reuses https connections? connection drops

I have a many many file commit that i'm trying to dcommit. It runs, for about 2 minutes, and then the server just suddenly stops responding.

looking at the traffic with ethereal, it seems that there is *a lot* of tls handshaking going on. perhaps the server's security is dropping the connections for 10 seconds or something because there are too many connection requests?

Does git-svn actually re-use the connection? It doesn't appear to. Unfort i'm not up to scratch so I haven't been able to figure that out for myself.

this is what i get: astubbs@ASTUBBS-PC /c/workspaces/gizmo2/gizmo $ git svn dcommit --rmdir Committing to https://cccc.xxxx.sss.com/svn/sdfsdfsdf/smurfs/trunk ... Authentication realm: <https://svn.xxxssad.com:443> Subversion repository Password for 'sdfsfd': RA layer request failed: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/sdfsdf/sdfsdf/trunk/core/wicket-1.3.4-portal-2.0/jdk-1.4/wicket/src/main/java /org/apache/wicket/util/parse/metapattern': PROPFIND of '/svn/sdfsdfsdf/sdfsdf/trunk/core/wicket-1.3.4-portal-2.0/jdk-1.4/wicket/src/main/ java/org/apache/wicket/util/parse/metapattern': could not connect to server (https://svn.sc.componence.com) at C:/msysgit/bin/git-svn line 3 385

this happens every time, but not at exactly the same file every time.

the commit contains upwards of 2,000 file adds.
