b8c78e2a9d git svn: work around SVN 1.7 mishandling of svn:special changes
Subversion represents symlinks as ordinary files with content starting
with "link " and the svn:special property set to "*".  Thus a file can
switch between being a symlink and a non-symlink simply by toggling
its svn:special property, and new checkouts will automatically write a
file of the appropriate type.  Likewise, in subversion 1.6 and older,
running "svn update" would notice changes in filetype and update the
working copy appropriately.

Starting in subversion 1.7 (issue 4091), changes to the svn:special
property trip an assertion instead:

	$ svn up svn-tree
	Updating 'svn-tree':
	svn: E235000: In file 'subversion/libsvn_wc/update_editor.c' \
	line 1583: assertion failed (action == svn_wc_conflict_action_edit \
	|| action == svn_wc_conflict_action_delete || action == \
	svn_wc_conflict_action_replace)

Revisions prepared with ordinary svn commands ("svn add" and not "svn
propset") don't trip this because they represent these filetype
changes using a replace operation, which is approximately equivalent
to removal followed by adding a new file and works fine.  Follow suit.

Noticed using t9100.  After this change, git-svn's file-to-symlink
changes are sent in a format that modern "svn update" can handle and
tests t9100.11-13 pass again.

dc01f880a5 git-svn: keep leading slash when canonicalizing paths (fallback case)
Subversion's svn_dirent_canonicalize() and svn_path_canonicalize()
APIs keep a leading slash in the return value if one was present on
the argument, which can be useful since it allows relative and
absolute paths to be distinguished.

When git-svn's canonicalize_path() learned to use these functions if
available, its semantics changed in the corresponding way.  Some new
callers rely on the leading slash --- for example, if the slash is
stripped out then _canonicalize_url_ourselves() will transform
"proto://host/path/to/resource" to "proto://hostpath/to/resource".

Unfortunately the fallback _canonicalize_path_ourselves(), used when
the appropriate SVN APIs are not usable, still follows the old
semantics, so if that code path is exercised then it breaks.  Fix it
to follow the new convention.

Noticed by forcing the fallback on and running tests.  Without this
patch, t9101.4 fails:

 Bad URL passed to RA layer: Unable to open an ra_local session to \
 URL: Local URL 'file://homejrnsrcgit-scratch/t/trash%20directory.\
 t9101-git-svn-props/svnrepo' contains unsupported hostname at \
 /home/jrn/src/git-scratch/perl/blib/lib/Git/SVN.pm line 148

With it, the git-svn tests pass again.

9478b11968 Make git-svn branch patterns match complete URL
When using the {word,[...]} style of configuration for tags and branches,
it appears the intent is to only match whole path parts, since the words
in the {} pattern are meta-character quoted.

When the pattern word appears in the beginning or middle of the url,
it's matched completely, since the left side, pattern, and (non-empty)
right side are joined together with path separators.

However, when the pattern word appears at the end of the URL, the
right side is an empty pattern, and the resulting regex matches
more than just the specified pattern.

For example, if you specify something along the lines of

    branches = branches/project/{release_1,release_2}

and your repository also contains "branches/project/release_1_2", you
will also get the release_1_2 branch.  By restricting the match regex
with anchors, this is avoided.

f271fad266 git-svn.perl: consider all ranges for a given merge, instead of only tip-by-tip
Consider the case where you have trunk, branch1 of trunk, and branch2 of
branch1.  trunk is merged back into branch2, and then branch2 is
reintegrated into trunk.  The merge of branch2 into trunk will have
svn:mergeinfo property references to both branch1 and branch2.  When
git-svn fetches the commit that merges branch2 (check_cherry_pick),
it is necessary to eliminate the merged contents of branch1 as well as
branch2, or else the merge will be incorrectly ignored as a cherry-pick.

61b472ed8b git svn: reset invalidates the memoized mergeinfo caches
Since v1.7.0-rc2~11 (git-svn: persistent memoization, 2010-01-30),
git-svn has maintained some private per-repository caches in
.git/svn/.caches to avoid refetching and recalculating some
mergeinfo-related information with every 'git svn fetch'.

This memoization can cause problems, e.g consider the following case:

SVN repo:

  ... - a - b - c - m  <- trunk
          \        /
            d  -  e    <- branch1

The Git import of the above repo is at commit 'a' and doesn't know about
the branch1. In case of an 'git svn rebase', only the trunk of the
SVN repo is imported. During the creation of the git commit 'm', git svn
uses the svn:mergeinfo property and tries to find the corresponding git
commit 'e' to create 'm' with 'c' and 'e' as parents. But git svn rebase
only imports the current branch so commit 'e' is not imported.
Therefore git svn fails to create commit 'm' as a merge commit, because one
of its parents is not known to git. The imported history looks like this:

  ... - a - b - c - m  <- trunk

A later 'git svn fetch' to import all branches can't rewrite the commit 'm'
to add 'e' as a parent and to make it a real git merge commit, because it
was already imported.

That's why the imported history misses the merge and looks like this:

  ... - a - b - c - m  <- trunk
          \
            d  -  e    <- branch1

Right now the only known workaround for importing 'm' as a merge is to
force reimporting 'm' again from SVN, e.g. via

  $ git svn reset --revision $(git find-rev $c)
  $ git svn fetch

Sadly, this is where the behavior has regressed: git svn reset doesn't
invalidate the old mergeinfo cache, which is no longer valid for the
reimport, which leads to 'm' beeing imprted with only 'c' as parent.

As solution to this problem, this commit invalidates the mergeinfo cache
to force correct recalculation of the parents.

During development of this patch, several ways for invalidating the cache
where considered. One of them is to use Memoize::flush_cache, which will
call the CLEAR method on the underlying Memoize persistency implementation.
Sadly, neither Memoize::Storable nor the newer Memoize::YAML module
introduced in 68f532f4ba could optionally be used implement the
CLEAR method, so this is not an option.

Reseting the internal hash used to store the memoized values has the same
problem, because it calls the non-existing CLEAR method of the
underlying persistency layer, too.

Considering this and taking into account the different implementations
of the memoization modules, where Memoize::Storable is not in our control,
implementing the missing CLEAR method is not an option, at least not if
Memoize::Storable is still used.

Therefore the easiest solution to clear the cache is to delete the files
on disk in 'git svn reset'. Normally, deleting the files behind the back
of the memoization module would be problematic, because the in-memory
representation would still exist and contain wrong data. Fortunately, the
memoization is active in memory only for a small portion of the code.
Invalidating the cache by deleting the files on disk if it isn't active
should be safe.

705b49cb81 git-svn: canonicalize newly-minted URLs
Go through all the spots that use the new add_path_to_url() to
make a new URL and canonicalize them.

* copyfrom_path has to be canonicalized else find_parent_branch
  will get confused

* due to the `canonicalize_url($full_url) ne $full_url)` line of
  logic in gs_do_switch(), $full_url is left alone until after.

At this point SVN 1.7 passes except for 3 tests in
t9100-git-svn-basic.sh that look like an SVN bug to do with
symlinks.

93c3fcbe4d git-svn: attempt to mimic SVN 1.7 URL canonicalization
Previously, our URL canonicalization didn't do much of anything.
Now it actually escapes and collapses slashes.  This is mostly a cut & paste
of escape_url from git-svn.

This is closer to how SVN 1.7's canonicalization behaves.  Doing it with
1.6 lets us chase down some problems caused by more effective canonicalization
without having to deal with all the other 1.7 issues on top of that.

* Remote URLs have to be canonicalized otherwise Git::SVN->find_existing_remote
  will think they're different.

* The SVN remote is now written to the git config canonicalized.  That
  should be ok.  Adjust a test to account for that.

it.  We have to do it ourselves.

    my $path = $path1 . '/' . $path2;

creating 'foo//bar'.

Could have used File::Spec, but I'm shying away from it due to SVN

d22e567770 perl/Makefile.PL: warn about duplicate module list in perl/Makefile
Adding or removing a module requires modifying both files to support
builds with and without MakeMaker.  Add a comment to remind patch
authors and reviewers at the crucial moment.

Longer term, it would be nicer to maintain a single list, perhaps in a
separate file used by both build systems.

68f532f4ba git-svn: use YAML format for mergeinfo cache when possible
Since v1.7.0-rc2~11 (git-svn: persistent memoization, 2010-01-30),
git-svn has maintained some private per-repository caches in
.git/svn/.caches to avoid refetching and recalculating some
mergeinfo-related information with every "git svn fetch".

These caches use the 'nstore' format from the perl core module
Storable, which can be read and written quickly and was designed for
transfer over the wire (the 'n' stands for 'network').  This format is
endianness-independent and independent of floating-point
representation.

Unfortunately the format is *not* independent of the perl version ---
new perl versions will write files that very old perl cannot read.
Worse, the format is not independent of the size of a perl integer.
So if you toggle perl's use64bitint compile-time option, then using
'git svn fetch' on your old repositories produces errors like this:

	Byte order is not compatible at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit
	into ../../lib/auto/Storable/_retrieve.al) line 380, at
	/usr/share/perl/5.12/Memoize/Storable.pm line 21

That is, upgrading perl to a version that uses use64bitint for the
first time makes git-svn suddenly refuse to fetch in existing
repositories.  Removing .git/svn/.caches lets git-svn recover.

It's time to switch to a platform independent serializer backend with
better compatibility guarantees.  This patch uses YAML::Any.

Other choices were considered:

 - thawing data from Data::Dumper involves "eval".  Doing that without
   creating a security risk is fussy.

 - the JSON API works on scalars in memory and doesn't provide a
   standard way to serialize straight to disk.

YAML::Any is reasonably fast and has a pleasant API.  In most
backends, LoadFile() reads the entire file into a scalar anyway and
converts it as a second step, but having an interface that allows the
deserialization to happen on the fly without a temporary is still a
comfort.

YAML::Any is not a core perl module, so we take care to use it when
and only when it is available.  Installations without that module
should fall back to using Storable with all its quirks, keeping their
cache files in

	.git/svn/.caches/*.db

Installations with YAML peacefully coexist by keeping a separate set
of cache files in

	.git/svn/.caches/*.yaml.

In most cases, switching between is a one-time thing, so it doesn't
seem worth the complication to migrate existing caches.

The upshot: after this patch, as long as YAML::Any is installed you
can move your git repository between machines with different perl
installations and "git svn fetch" will work fine.  If you do not have
YAML::Any, the behavior is unchanged (and in particular does not get
any worse).

9f7ad1479d git-svn: make Git::SVN::RA a separate file
This slices off another 600 or so lines from the frighteningly long
git-svn.perl script.

The Git::SVN::Ra interface is similar enough to SVN::Ra that it is
probably safe to ignore most of its implementation on first reading.
(Documenting or moving functions that do not fit that pattern is left
as an exercise to the interested reader.)

[ew: rebased and fixed conflict against
 commit c26ddce86d
 (git-svn: platform auth providers are working only on 1.6.15 or newer)]

a6180325e8 git-svn: make Git::SVN::Fetcher a separate file
This patch removes a chunk of code (the Git::SVN::Fetcher consumer of
libsvn's tree delta protocol) from git-svn.perl and documents its
interface so the hurried reader does not have to read that code right
away.

c102f4cf72 git-svn: move Git::SVN::Prompt into its own file
git-svn.perl is very long (around 6500 lines) and although it is
nicely split into modules, some new readers do not even notice --- it
is too distracting to see all this functionality collected in a single
file.

Splitting it into multiple files would make it easier for people
to read individual modules straight through and to experiment with
components separately.

Let's start with Git::SVN::Prompt.  For simplicity, we install this as
a module in the standard search path, just like the existing Git and
Git::I18N modules.  In the process, add a manpage explaining its
interface and that it is not likely to be useful for other projects to
avoid confusion.

5eb660ecd1 perl/Makefile: install Git::I18N under NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER
When I added the i18n infrastructure in v1.7.8-rc2-1-g5e9637c I forgot
to install Git::I18N also when NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=YesPlease was
set. Change the generation of the fallback perl.mak file to do that.

Now Git/I18N.pm is installed alongside Git.pm in such a way that
anything that uses GITPERLLIB will find it.
