[PATCH v3 0/2] allow git-svn fetching to work using serf

From: "Kyle J. McKay" <mackyle@gmail.com>

This patch allows git-svn to fetch successfully using the serf library when given an https?: url to fetch from.

Unfortunately some svn servers do not seem to be configured well for use with the serf library. This can cause fetching to take longer compared to the neon library or actually cause timeouts during the fetch. When timeouts occur git-svn can be safely restarted to fetch more revisions.

A new temp_is_locked function has been added to Git.pm to facilitate using the minimal number of temp files possible when using serf.

The problem that occurs when running git-svn fetch using the serf library is that the previously used temp file is not always unlocked before the next temp file needs to be used.

To work around this problem, a new temp name is used if the temp name that would otherwise be chosen is currently locked.

Version v2 of the patch introduced a bug when changing the _temp_cache function to use the new temp_is_locked function at the suggestion of a reviewer. That has now been resolved.
