git-svn by default puts its Subversion-tracking refs directly in
refs/remotes/*. This runs counter to Git's convention of using
refs/remotes/$remote/* for storing remote-tracking branches.
Furthermore, combining git-svn with regular git remotes run the risk of
clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote
called "tags" with a "v1" branch, it will overlap with the git-svn's
tracking branch for the "v1" tag from Subversion.
Even though the git-svn refs stored in refs/remotes/* are not "proper"
remote-tracking branches (since they are not covered by a proper git
remote's refspec), they clearly represent a similar concept, and would
benefit from following the same convention.
For example, if git-svn tracks Subversion branch "foo" at
refs/remotes/foo, and you create a local branch refs/heads/foo to add
some commits to be pushed back to Subversion (using "git svn dcommit),
then it is clearly unhelpful of Git to throw
warning: refname 'foo' is ambiguous.
every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch.
The existing workaround for this is to supply the --prefix=quux/ to
git svn init/clone, so that git-svn's tracking branches end up in
refs/remotes/quux/* instead of refs/remotes/*. However, encouraging
users to specify --prefix to work around a design flaw in git-svn is
suboptimal, and not a long term solution to the problem. Instead,
git-svn should default to use a non-empty prefix that saves
unsuspecting users from the inconveniences described above.
This patch will only affect newly created git-svn setups, as the
--prefix option only applies to git svn init (and git svn clone).
Existing git-svn setups will continue with their existing (lack of)
prefix. Also, if anyone somehow prefers git-svn's old layout, they
can recreate that by explicitly passing an empty prefix (--prefix "")
on the git svn init/clone command line.
The patch changes the default value for --prefix from "" to "origin/",
updates the git-svn manual page, and fixes the fallout in the git-svn
testcases.
(Note that this patch might be easier to review using the --word-diff
and --word-diff-regex=. diff options.)

Format the subshells introduced by the previous patch (Several tests:
cd inside subshell instead of around, 2010-09-06) like so:
(
cd subdir &&
...
) &&
This is generally easier to read and has the nice side-effect that
this patch will show what commands are used in the subshell, making
it easier to check for lost environment variables and similar
behavior changes.

Fixed all places where it was a straightforward change from cd'ing into a
directory and back via "cd .." to a cd inside a subshell.
Found these places with "git grep -w "cd \.\.".

And then unescape them when writing to $GIT_CONFIG.
SVN has different rules for repository URLs (usually the root)
and for paths within that repository (below the HTTP layer).
Thus, for the request URI path at the HTTP level, the URI needs
to be encoded. However, in the body of the HTTP request (the
with underlying SVN XML protocol), those paths should not be
URI-encoded[1]. For non-HTTP(S) requests, SVN appears to be
more flexible and will except weird characters in the URL as
well as URI-encoded ones.
Since users are used to using URLs being entirely URI-encoded,
git svn will now attempt to unescape the path portion of URLs
while leaving the actual repository URL untouched.
This change will be reflected in newly-created $GIT_CONFIG files
only. This allows users to switch between svn(+ssh)://, file://
and http(s):// urls without changing the fetch/branches/tags
config keys. This won't affect existing imports at all (since
things didn't work before this commit anyways), and will allow
users to force escaping into repository paths that look like
they're escaped (but are not).
Thanks to Mike Smullin for the original bug report and Björn
Steinbrink for summarizing it into testable cases for me.

The test still passes when SVN_HTTPD_PORT is not set. Futhermore, t9115
and t9118 don't check if SVN_HTTPD_PORT is set even though they both use
start_httpd() from lib-git-svn.sh. Admittedly, the test is not very
meaningful without SVN_HTTPD_PORT, as commit f5530b (support for funky
branch and project names over HTTP(S) 2007-11-11) states that the URI
escaping is only done over HTTP(S).

I have tweaked configuration in my ~/.subversion directory, namely I am
running auto-properties and automatically adding '$Id$' expansion to
every file. This choke the last test named 'proplist' from
t9101-git-svn-props.sh, because one more property, svn:keywords is
automatically added.
I had just wrapped svn invocation with the svn_cmd that specifies empty
directory via --config-dir argument. Since the latter is the global
option, it should be recognized by all svn subcommands, so no
regressions will be introduced.
Now svn_cmd is used everywhere, not just in the failed test module: this
should guard us from the future clashes with user-defined configuration
tweaks.

Subversion tests use too many "git-foo" form, so I am converting them
in two steps.
This first step replaces literal strings "remotes/git-svn" and "git-svn-id"
by introducing $remotes_git_svn and $git_svn_id constants defined as shell
variables. This will reduce the number of false hits from "git grep".

This fixes the remainder of the issues where the test script itself is at
fault for failing when the git checkout path contains whitespace or other
shell metacharacters.
The majority of git svn tests used the idiom
test_expect_success "title" "test script using $svnrepo"
These were changed to have the test script in single-quotes:
test_expect_success "title" 'test script using "$svnrepo"'
which unfortunately makes the patch appear larger than it really is.
One consequence of this change is that in the verbose test output the
value of $svnrepo (and in some cases other variables, too) is no
longer expanded, i.e. previously we saw
* expecting success:
test script using /path/to/git/t/trash/svnrepo
but now it is:
* expecting success:
test script using "$svnrepo"

git-svn project names are percent-escaped ever since f5530b8
(git-svn: support for funky branch and project names over HTTP(S),
2007-11-11).
Unfortunately this breaks the scenario where the user hands git-svn an
already-escaped URI. Fix the regexp to skip over what looks like
existing percent escapes, and test this scenario.
