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

[Kyle 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.

This patch may not be all that is required, but at least
it is a starting point.

Daniel Shahaf has suggested also setting "servers:global:http-bulk- 
updates=on".
