The probability of +this happening increases with the size of the repository and the number of +plugins installed, because these both affect how long the post-commit hook +takes to run. (The core issue, I guess, is that we're abusing the concept +of a "working copy" by giving everybody the same one). Here are the main +solutions that I can see: (1) CGI queues commits so that a single process +can act upon them sequentially, or (2) optionally divorce the `ikiwiki +--refresh` from the `svn commit` so that commits happen faster. -- [[Ben]] + +I'm not aware of web servers, at least apache, killing cgi processes when +the user stops a page load.
