For users with "store-passwords = no" set in the "[auth]" section of
their ~/.subversion/config, SVN 1.9.0+ would fail with the
following message when attempting to call svn_auth_set_parameter:
Value is not a string (or undef) at Git/SVN/Ra.pm
Ironically, this breakage was caused by r1553823 in subversion:
"Make svn_auth_set_parameter() usable from Perl bindings."
Since 2007 (602015e0e6), git-svn has used a workaround to make
svn_auth_set_parameter usable internally. However this workaround
breaks under SVN 1.9+, which deals properly with the type mapping
and fails to recognize our workaround.
For pre-1.9.0 SVN, we continue to use the existing workaround for
the lack of proper type mapping in the bindings.
Tested under subversion 1.6.17 and 1.9.3.
I've also verified r1553823 was not backported to SVN 1.8.x:

Processing empty_dir directives becomes extremely slow for svn
repositories with a large enough history.
This is due to using a single hash to store the list of empty
directories, with the expensive step being purging items from
that hash using grep+delete.
Storing directories in a hash of hashes improves the performance
of this purge step and removes a potentially lengthy delay after
every rebase/mkdirs command.
The svn repository with this behaviour has 110K commits with
unhandled.log containing 170K empty_dir directives.
This takes 10 minutes to process when using a single hash, vs
3 seconds with a hash of hashes.

When the user input is correct, this implementation behaves
exactly like Mail::Address except when there are quotes
inside the name:
"Jane Do"e <jdoe@example.com>
In this case the result of parse_address_line is:

When the user input is not correct, the behavior is also mostly

Since b19138b (git-svn: Make it incrementally faster by minimizing temp
files, v1.6.0), git-svn has been using the Git.pm temp_acquire and
temp_release mechanism to avoid unnecessary temp file churn and provide
a speed boost.
However, that change introduced a call to temp_acquire inside the
Git::SVN::Fetcher::close_file function for an 'svn_hash' temp file.
Because an SVN::Pool is active at the time this function is called, if
the Git::temp_acquire function ends up actually creating a new
FileHandle for the temp file (which it will the first time it's called
with the name 'svn_hash') that FileHandle will end up in the SVN::Pool
and should that pool have SVN::Pool::clear called on it that FileHandle
will be closed out from under Git::temp_acquire.
Since the only call site to Git::temp_acquire with the name 'svn_hash'
is inside the close_file function, if an 'svn_hash' temp file is ever
created its FileHandle is guaranteed to be created in the active
SVN::Pool.
This has not been a problem in the past because the SVN::Pool was not
being cleared. However, since dfa72fdb (git-svn: reload RA every
log-window-size, v2.2.0) the pool has been getting cleared periodically
at which point the FileHandle for the 'svn_hash' temp file gets closed.
Any subsequent calls to Git::temp_acquire for 'svn_hash', however,
succeed without creating/opening a new temporary file since it still has
the now invalid FileHandle in its cache. Callers that then attempt to
use that FileHandle fail with an error.
We avoid this problem by making sure the 'svn_hash' temp file is created
in the same place the 'svn_delta_...' and 'git_blob_...' temp files are
(and then temp_release'd) so that it can be safely used inside the
close_file function without having its FileHandle end up in an SVN::Pool
that gets cleared.
Additionally the Git.pm cat_blob function creates a bidirectional pipe
FileHandle using the IPC::Open2::open2 function. If that handle is
created too late, it also gets caught up in the SVN::Pool and incorrectly
closed by the SVN::Pool::clear call. But this only seems to happen with
more recent versions of Perl and svn.
To avoid this problem we add an explicit call to _open_cat_blob_if_needed
before the first call to SVN::Pool->new_default to make sure the open2
handle does not end up in the SVN::Pool.

We can delay loading some modules until we need them for uncommon
code paths. For example, persistent memoization is not often
needed, so we can avoid loading the modules for it until we
encounter svn::mergeinfo during fetch.
This gives a tiny reduction in syscalls (from 15641 to 15305) when
running "git svn info" and counting via "strace -fc". Further,
more invasive work will be needed to noticeably improve performance.

This memoization appears unneeded as the check_cherry_pick2 cache is

With this change applied, importing from local svn+ssh and http copies
of the R repo[1] takes only 2:00 (2 hours) on my system and the git-svn
process never uses more than 60MB RSS on my x86-64 GNU/Linux system[2].
This 60M measurement is only for the git-svn Perl process itself and
does not include memory used by git subprocesses accessing large packs
(subprocess memory usage _is_ measured by my time(1) tool).
Before this change, an import took longer (2:20) on svn+ssh:// but
git-svn used around 240MB during the imports. Worse yet, git-svn
ballooned to over 400M when writing out the cache to the filesystem.
I also tried removing memoization for `has_no_changes', too, but a
local copy of the R repository(*) was not close to finishing within
10 hours on my system.

Despite attempting to use local memory pools everywhere we can,
(including our call to SVN::Ra::do_update and all subsequent reporter
calls), there does not appear to be a way to force the Git::SVN::Fetcher
callbacks to use a pool other than the per-SVN::Ra pool.
Git::SVN::Fetcher ends up using the main RA pool which grows
monotonically in size for the lifetime of the RA object.
Thus the only way to free that memory appears to be to destroy and
recreate the RA connection for at every --log-window-size interval.
This reduces memory usage over the course of fetching 10K revisions
using a test repository created with the script at the end of this
commit message.
As reported by time(1) on my x86-64 system:
before: 54024k
after: 28680k
Unfortunately, there remains some yet-to-be-tracked-down slow memory
growth which would be evident as the `nr' parameter increases in
the repository generation script:
-----------------------------8<------------------------------
set -e
tmp=$(mktemp -d svntestrepo-XXXXXXXX)
svnadmin create "$tmp"
repo=file://"$(cd $tmp && pwd)"
svn co "$repo" "$tmp/wd"

In a Subversion repository where many feature branches are merged into a
trunk, the svn:mergeinfo property can grow very large. This severely
slows down git-svn's make_log_entry() because it is checking all
mergeinfo entries every time the property changes.
In most cases, the additions to svn:mergeinfo since the last commit are
pretty small, and there is nothing to gain by checking merges that were
already checked for the last commit in the branch.
Add a mergeinfo_changes() function which computes the set of interesting
changes to svn:mergeinfo since the last commit. Filter out merged
branches whose ranges haven't changed, and remove a common prefix of
ranges from other merged branches.
This speeds up "git svn fetch" by several orders of magnitude on a large
repository where thousands of feature branches have been merged.

Since the very beginning of Git, we gave the LESS environment a
default value "FRSX" when we spawn "less" as the pager. "S" (chop
long lines instead of wrapping) has been removed from this default
set of options, because it is more or less a personal taste thing,
as opposed to others that have good justifications (i.e. "R" is very
much justified because many kinds of output we produce are colored
and "FX" is justified because output we produce is often shorter
than a page).
Existing users who prefer not to see line-wrapped output may want to
set
$ git config core.pager "less -S"
to restore the traditional behaviour. It is expected that people
find output from the most subcommands easier to read with the new
default, except for "blame" which tends to produce really long
lines. To override the new default only for "git blame", you can do
this:
$ git config pager.blame "less -S"
* mm/pager-less-sans-S:
pager: remove 'S' from $LESS by default
By default, Git used to set $LESS to -FRSX if $LESS was not set by
the user. The FRX flags actually make sense for Git (F and X because
sometimes the output Git pipes to less is short, and R because Git
pipes colored output). The S flag (chop long lines), on the other
hand, is not related to Git and is a matter of user preference. Git
should not decide for the user to change LESS's default.
More specifically, the S flag harms users who review untrusted code
within a pager, since a patch looking like:
-old code;
+new good code; [... lots of tabs ...] malicious code;
would appear identical to:
-old code;
+new good code;
Users who prefer the old behavior can still set the $LESS environment
variable to -FRSX explicitly, or set core.pager to 'less -S'.
The documentation in config.txt is made a bit longer to keep both an
example setting the 'S' flag (needed to recover the old behavior)
and an example showing how to unset a flag set by Git.

Just like we give a reasonable default for "less" via the LESS
environment variable, specify a reasonable default for "lv" via the
"LV" environment variable when spawning the pager.
* jn/pager-lv-default-env:
pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:
$ git diff
^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m
"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default. Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.
Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

Subversion serf backend in versions 1.8.5 and below has a bug(*) that the
function creating the descriptor of a file change -- add_file() --
doesn't make a copy of its third argument when storing it on the
returned descriptor. As a result, by the time this field is used (in
transactions of file copying or renaming) it may well be released, and
the memory reused.
One of its possible manifestations is the svn assertion triggering on an
invalid path, with a message
svn_fspath__skip_ancestor: Assertion
`svn_fspath__is_canonical(child_fspath)' failed.
This patch works around this bug, by storing the value to be passed as

we print fatal error messages to some other file that just happens to
be opened on the now-free FD 2. So let's not do that.
As pointed out by Eric Wong (thanks), the initial close needs to go:
die() would again write nowhere if we close STDERR beforehand.

perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it
out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do.
