Don't cache dulwich Repos, in pararell multithreaded evniroment dulwich pack file openers
can break badly. We need to create Repo() objects always for each call, even when it's
taken from cache.
Fixed issue with dulwich filedescriptor leak ref #573

.. _git_support:

===========
GIT support
===========


Git support in RhodeCode 1.3 was enabled by default. You need to have a git
client installed on the machine to make git fully work.

Although There is one limitation on git usage.

- large pushes requires a http server with chunked encoding support.
 
if you plan to use git you need to run RhodeCode with some
http server that supports chunked encoding which git http protocol uses, 
i recommend using waitress_ or gunicorn_ (linux only) for `paste` wsgi app 
replacement. Starting from version 1.4 waitress_ is the default wsgi server
used in RhodeCode.

To use, simply change change the following in the .ini file::

    use = egg:Paste#http

to::
    
    use = egg:waitress#main

or::

    use = egg:gunicorn#main
    
    
And comment out bellow options::

    threadpool_workers = 
    threadpool_max_requests = 
    use_threadpool = 
    

You can simply run `paster serve` as usual.

  
You can always disable git/hg support by editing a 
file **rhodecode/__init__.py** and commenting out backends

.. code-block:: python
 
   BACKENDS = {
       'hg': 'Mercurial repository',
       #'git': 'Git repository',
   }
