I did suggest only doing that next time. There's not much point moving a
conversation that's already in progress. Anyway, let's carry on now.

Could you tell us what actually happens?
How long does the bzr process run for?
Is it doing anything when it dies, or has it been idle for 5 mins?
Is there still network activity, or has that phase finished?
What is the total size of data downloaded?

It is really hard to say anthing constructive without information.

I really doubt that will make a difference.

You can always use the rsync method that Andreas gave to download
the repository data initially.


We can in principle increase the 300s timeout by passing
--client-timeout=ARG to bzr serve in /usr/local/bin/sv_membersh, but I
am not sure if that is a good idea, because clients should _not_
normally be idle for > 5 mins. Maybe it does make sense though, as I
speculate above.
