Bug 223820 – [webkit-patch] Use commit.webkit.org instead of remote SVN to compute identifier

• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Jonathan Bedard]

Folks have objected to the time it takes to cache remote subversion data required to compute identifiers. Consulting commits.webkit.org will be faster.

Should we consider using svn.webkit.org as a fallback just in case the former is down?

It's possible to use svn.webkit.org as a fallback, but the failure condition is pretty mild: you end up with this:
Committed r1234 (?) <https://commits.webkit.org/r1234> , I feel like defending the failure isn't worth maintaining the defense
