In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT,
to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small
caps. Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days.
Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation. The name to refer
to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the
command end-users type is "git". And document this in the coding
guideline.

When users spell "cc:" in lowercase in the fake "header" in the
trailer part, "git send-email" failed to pick up the addresses from
there. As e-mail headers field names are case insensitive, this

Subversion 1.7 and newer implement HTTPv2, an extension that should make HTTP
more efficient. Servers with support for this protocol will make the subversion
client library take an alternative code path that checks (with assertions)
whether the URL is "canonical" or not.
This patch fixes an issue I encountered while trying to `git svn dcommit` a
rename action for a file containing a single quote character ("User's Manual"
to "UserMan.tex"). It does not happen for older subversion 1.6 servers nor
non-HTTP(S) protocols such as the native svn protocol, only on an Apache server
shipping SVN 1.7. Trying to `git svn dcommit` under the aforementioned
conditions yields the following error which aborts the commit process:
Committing to http://example.com/svn ...
perl: subversion/libsvn_subr/dirent_uri.c:1520: uri_skip_ancestor:
Assertion `svn_uri_is_canonical(child_uri, ((void *)0))' failed.
error: git-svn died of signal 6
An analysis of the subversion source for the cause:
- The assertion originates from uri_skip_ancestor which calls
svn_uri_is_canonical, which fails when the URL contains percent-encoded values
that do not necessarily have to be encoded (not "canonical" enough). This is
done by a table lookup in libsvn_subr/path.c. Putting some debugging prints
revealed that the character ' is indeed encoded to %27 which is not
considered canonical.
- url_skip_ancestor is called by svn_ra_neon__get_baseline_info with the root
repository URL and path as parameters;
- which is called by copy_resource (libsvn_ra_neon/commit.c) for a copy action
(or in my case, renaming which is actually copy + delete old);
- which is called by commit_add_dir;
- which is assigned as a structure method "add_file" in
svn_ra_neon__get_commit_editor.
In the whole path, the path argument is not modified.
Through some more uninteresting wrapper functions, the Perl bindings gives you
access to the add_file method which will pass the path argument without
modifications to svn.
git-svn calls the "R"(ename) subroutine in Git::SVN::Editor which contains:
326 my $fbat = $self->add_file($self->repo_path($m->{file_b}), $pbat,
327 $self->url_path($m->{file_a}), $self->{r});
"repo_path" basically returns the path as-is, unless the "svn.pathnameencoding"
configuration property is set. "url_path" tries to escape some special
characters, but does not take all special characters into account, thereby
causing the path to contain some escaped characters which do not have to be
escaped.
The list of characters not to be escaped are taken from the
subversion/libsvn_subr/path.c file to fully account for all characters. Tested
with a filename containing all characters in the range 0x20 to 0x78 (inclusive).

When a single SVN repository is split into multiple Git repositories
many SVN revisions will exist in only one of the Git repositories
created. For some projects the only way to build a working artifact is
to check out corresponding versions of various repositories, with no
indication of what those are in the Git world - in the SVN world the
revision numbers are sufficient.
By adding "--before" to "git-svn find-rev" we can say "tell me what this
repository looked like when that other repository looked like this":
git svn find-rev --before \
r$(git --git-dir=/over/there.git svn find-rev HEAD)

Subversion's canonical URLs are intended to make URL comparison easy
and therefore have strict rules about what characters are special
enough to urlencode and what characters should be left alone.
When in the fallback codepath because unable to use libsvn's own
canonicalization function for some reason, escape special characters
in URIs according to the svn_uri__char_validity[] table in
subversion/libsvn_subr/path.c (r935829). The libsvn versions that
trigger this code path are not likely to be strict enough to care, but
it's nicer to be consistent.
Noticed by using SVN 1.6.17 perl bindings, which do not provide
SVN::_Core::svn_uri_canonicalize (triggering the fallback code),
with libsvn 1.7.5, whose do_switch is fussy enough to care:
Committing to file:///home/jrn/src/git/t/trash%20directory.\

line 2291: assertion failed (svn_uri_is_canonical(url, pool))
error: git-svn died of signal 6
not ok - 3 test dcommit to funky branch
After this change, the '!' in 'more%20fun%20plugin!' is not urlencoded
and t9118 passes again.

This shouldn't make a difference because the $deletions hash is
only used when adding a directory (see 379862ec, 2012-02-20) but
it's nice to be consistent to make reading smoother anyway. No
functional change intended.
