12a296bca3 git-svn: Add a svn-remote.<name>.pushurl config key
Similar to the 'remote.<name>.pushurl' config key for git remotes,
'pushurl' is designed to be used in cases where 'url' points to an SVN
repository via a read-only transport, to provide an alternate
read/write transport. It is assumed that both keys point to the same
repository.

The 'pushurl' key is distinct from the 'commiturl' key in that
'commiturl' is a full svn path while 'pushurl' (like 'url') is a base
path. 'commiturl' takes precendece over 'pushurl' in cases where
either might be used.

The 'pushurl' is used by git-svn's dcommit and branch commands.

55f9d7a75c git-svn: add an option to skip the creation of empty directories
"git svn mkdirs" (which creates empty directories in the current
working copy) can be very slow and is often unnecessary.  Provide a
config file option "svn-remote.<name>.automkdirs" that prevents empty
directories from being created automatically.  (They are still created
if "git svn mkdirs" is invoked explicitly.)

48bb914ed6 doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages
The point of these sections is generally to:

  1. Give credit where it is due.

  2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
     file bug reports.

But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame.  For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.

So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.

Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

9cfdbf9bef git svn: fix the final example in man page
'git-remote add' creates a remote.origin.fetch entry in the config, we
want to replace this entry rather than add another one (which will
cause 'git fetch' to error).

This adds 'git config --remove-section remote.origin' after the fetch
for encouraging users to only use "git svn" for future updates.

3e18ce1ac3 git-svn: allow UUID to be manually remapped via rewriteUUID
In certain situations it may be necessary to manually remap an svn
repostitory UUID. For example:

                  o--- [git-svn clone]
                 /
[origin svn repo]
                 \
                  o--- [svnsync clone]

Imagine that only "git-svn clone" and "svnsync clone" are made available
to external users. Furthur, "git-svn clone" contains only trunk, and for
reasons unknown, "svnsync clone" is missing the revision properties that
normally provide the origin svn repo's UUID.

A git user who has cloned the "git-svn clone" repo now wishes to use
git-svn to pull in the missing branches from the "synsync clone" repo.
In order for git-svn to get the history correct for those branches,
it needs to know the origin svn repo's UUID. Hence rewriteUUID.

6111b93499 git svn: attempt to create empty dirs on clone+rebase
We parse unhandled.log files for empty_dir statements and make a
best effort attempt to recreate empty directories on fresh
clones and rebase.  This should cover the majority of cases
where users work off a single branch or for projects where
branches do not differ in empty directories.

Since this cannot affect "normal" git commands like "checkout"
or "reset", so users switching between branches in a single
working directory should use the new "git svn mkdirs" command
after switching branches.

6b48829dbb git svn: revert default behavior for --minimize-url
This reverts the --minimize-url behavior change that
appeared recently in commit 0b2af457a4
("Fix branch detection when repository root is inaccessible").

However, we now allow the option to be turned off by allowing
"--no-minimize-url" so people with limited-access setups can
still take advantage of the fix in
0b2af457a4.

Also document the behavior and default settings of minimize-url

195643f2fc Add 'git svn reset' to unwind 'git svn fetch'
Add a command to unwind the effects of fetch by moving the rev_map
and refs/remotes/git-svn back to an old SVN revision.  This allows
revisions to be re-fetched.  Ideally SVN revs would be immutable,
but permissions changes in the SVN repository or indiscriminate use
of '--ignore-paths' can create situations where fetch cannot make
progress.

5eec27e35f git-svn: let 'dcommit $rev' work on $rev instead of HEAD
'git svn dcommit' takes an optional revision argument, but the meaning
of it was rather scary.  It completely ignored the current state of
the HEAD, only looking at the revisions between SVN and $rev.  If HEAD
was attached to $branch, the branch lost all commits $rev..$branch in
the process.

Considering that 'git svn dcommit HEAD^' has the intuitive meaning
"dcommit all changes on my branch except the last one", we change the
meaning of the revision argument.  git-svn temporarily checks out $rev
for its work, meaning that

* if a branch is specified, that branch (_not_ the HEAD) is rebased as
  part of the dcommit,

* if some other revision is specified, as in the example, all work
  happens on a detached HEAD and no branch is affected.

36db1eddf9 git-svn: add --authors-prog option
Add a new option, --authors-prog, to git-svn that allows a more flexible
alternative (or supplement) to --authors-file.  This allows more
advanced username operations than the authors file will allow.  For
example, one may look up Subversion users via LDAP, or may generate the
name and email address from the Subversion username.

Notes:

* If both --authors-name and --authors-prog are given, the former is
  tried first, falling back to the later.

* The program is called once per unique SVN username, and the result is
  cached.

* The command-line argument must be the path to a program, not a generic
  shell command line.  The absolute path to this program is taken at
  startup since the git-svn script changes directory during operation.

* The option is not enabled for `git svn log'.

The --ignore-paths option to fetch is very useful for working on a subset

This patch adds a persistent svn-remote.$repo_id.ignore-paths config by

This allows one to use public svn:// URLs for fetch and
svn+ssh:// URLs for committing (without using the complicated
rewriteRoot option, reimporting or git-filter-branch).

Using this can also help avoid unnecessary server
authentication/encryption overhead on busy SVN servers.

Along with the new --revision option, this can also be allowed
to override the branch detection in dcommit, too.  This is
potentially dangerous and not recommended!  (And also purposely
undocumented, but the loaded gun is there in case somebody
wants to make it safe).

8cb070a4cf Documentation: Remove mentions of git-svnimport.
git-svnimport is no longer supported, so don't mention it in the
documentation.  This also updates the description, removing the
historical discussion, since it mostly dealt with how it differed from
svnimport.  The new description gives some starting points into the
rest of the documentation.

2fd02c92db manpages: italicize nongit command names (if they are in teletype font)
Some manual pages use teletype font to set command names. We
change them to use italics, instead.  This creates a visual
distinction between names of commands and command lines that
can be typed at the command line. It is also more consistent
with other man pages outside Git.

In this patch, the commands named are non-git commands like bash.

ba020ef5eb manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.

	doit () {
	  perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'

b1889c36d8 Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)

This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.

The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

where there are scripts that read the output of svn blame, it's useful
to be able to use them with the output of git-svn. The git-compatible

171af11082 Add --no-rebase option to git-svn dcommit
git-svn dcommit exports commits to Subversion, then imports them back
to git again, and last but not least rebases or resets HEAD to the
last of the new commits. I guess this rebasing is convenient when
using just git, but when the commits to be exported are managed by
StGIT, it's really annoying. So add an option to disable this
behavior. And document it, too!
