Subject: Git SRV support for clients
Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 20:57:52 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D2FD7D0.6010204@gmail.com> (raw)

Is there any interest, other than mine, for SRV client support for git?

I looked into the code and it appears that SRV support could be enabled 
by a patch in the file connect.c, in the function 
git_tcp_connect_sock().  If the getaddrinfo() call were to be replaced 
with an api call that supports SRV records.

I looked into udns which is cross platform, and async(which would allow 
a SRV lookup as well as an A record lookup at the same time to avoid the 
'long first query SRV issue').

Any thoughts?
