Please describe the problem.

P2phttp can deadlock with multiple concurrent clients talking to it.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Create a git-annex repository with a bunch of annexed files served via p2phttp like so: git-annex --debug p2phttp -J2 --bind 127.0.0.1 --wideopen
  2. Create multiple different clones of that repository connected via p2phttp all doing while true; do git annex drop .; git annex get --in origin; done
  3. Observe a deadlock after an indeterminate amount of time

This deadlock seems to occur faster the more repos you use. I've tried increasing -J to 3 and had it deadlock with two client repos once, but that seems to happen much less often.

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
