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.

When attempting to git-svn fetch files from an svn https?: url using
the serf library (the only choice starting with svn 1.8) the following
errors can occur:
Temp file with moniker 'svn_delta' already in use at Git.pm line 1250
Temp file with moniker 'git_blob' already in use at Git.pm line 1250
David Rothenberger <daveroth@acm.org> has determined the cause to
be that ra_serf does not drive the delta editor in a depth-first
manner [...]. Instead, the calls come in this order:
1. open_root
2. open_directory
3. add_file
4. apply_textdelta
5. add_file
6. apply_textdelta
When using the ra_serf access method, git-svn can end up needing
to create several temp files before the first one is closed.
This change causes a new temp file moniker to be generated if the
one that would otherwise have been used is currently locked.

The SVN::Fetcher module is now able to filter for inclusion as well
as exclusion (as used by --ignore-path). Also added tests, documentation
changes and git completion script.
If you have an SVN repository with many top level directories and you
only want a git-svn clone of some of them then using --ignore-path is
difficult as it requires a very long regexp. In this case it's much
easier to filter for inclusion.

lexgrog(1) relies on the NAME section to find a manpage's subject's
name and description for easy access later using "man -k". Add the
section it expects.

This makes the git-svn script shorter and less scary for beginners to
read through for the first time. Take the opportunity to explain the
purpose and basic interface of the Git::SVN::Editor class while at it.

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.
