Re: ISSUE: "To many open files" not being logged by master server when sync fails.

We are syncing a branch of the repository and have 11068 revisions. I tried excluding some revisions via path based authorization but got the same result. I'm not sure what is required or where to look to replicate in another repository. I have a copy of the repositories to test in gdb and can give you a dump of any state information required to solve issue if you need any more info.
