126640afbc Add a birdview-on-the-source-code section to the user manual
In http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/42479,
a birdview on the source code was requested.

J. Bruce Fields suggested that my reply should be included in the
user manual, and there was nothing of an outcry, so here it is,
not 2 months later.

It includes modifications as suggested by J. Bruce Fields, Karl
Hasselström and Daniel Barkalow.

df8cfac815 import-tars: Use the "Link indicator" to identify directories
Earlier, we used the mode to determine if a name was associated with
a directory. This fails, since some tar programs do not set the mode
correctly. However, the link indicator _has_ to be set correctly.

cf606e3ddd git name-rev writes beyond the end of malloc() with large generations
When using git name-rev on my kernel tree I triggered a malloc()
corruption warning from glibc.

apw@pinky$ git log --pretty=one $N/base.. | git name-rev --stdin
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0bff8950 ***
Aborted

This comes from name_rev() which is building the name of the revision
in a malloc'd string, which it sprintf's into:

	char *new_name = xmalloc(len + 8);
	[...]
		sprintf(new_name, "%.*s~%d^%d", len, tip_name,
				generation, parent_number);

This allocation is only sufficient if the generation number is
less than 5 digits, in my case generation was 13432.  In reality
parent_number can be up to 16 so that also can require two digits,
reducing us to 3 digits before we are at risk of blowing this
allocation.

This patch introduces a decimal_length() which approximates the
number of digits a type may hold, it produces the following:

Type                 Longest Value          Len  Est
----                 -------------          ---  ---
unsigned char        256                      3    4
unsigned short       65536                    5    6
unsigned long        4294967296              10   11
unsigned long long   18446744073709551616    20   21
char                 -128                     4    4
short                -32768                   6    6
long                 -2147483648             11   11
long long            -9223372036854775808    20   21

This is then used to size the new_name.

4a1bb4c3f8 git-svn: don't attempt to minimize URLs by default
For tracking branches and tags, git-svn prefers to connect
to the root of the repository or at least the level that
houses branches and tags as well as trunk.  However, users
that are accustomed to tracking a single directory have
no use for this feature.

As pointed out by Junio, users may not have permissions to
connect to connect to a higher-level path in the repository.

While the current minimize_url() function detects lack of
permissions to certain paths _after_ successful logins, it
cannot effectively determine if it is trying to access a
login-only portion of a repo when the user expects to
connect to a part where anonymous access is allowed.

For people used to the git-svnimport switches of
--trunk, --tags, --branches, they'll already pass the
repository root (or root+subdirectory), so minimize URL
isn't of too much use to them, either.

For people *not* used to git-svnimport, git-svn also
supports:

 git svn init --minimize-url \
  --trunk http://repository-root/foo/trunk \
  --branches http://repository-root/foo/branches \
  --tags http://repository-root/foo/tags

And this is where the new --minimize-url command-line switch
comes in to allow for this behavior to continue working.

4c03c3eb4e git-svn: fix segfaults due to initial SVN pool being cleared
Some parts of SVN always seem to use it, even if the SVN::Ra
object we're using is no longer used and we've created a new one
in its place.  It's also true that only one SVN::Ra connection
can exist at once...  Using SVN::Pool->new_default when the
SVN::Ra object is created doesn't seem to help very much,
either...

Hopefully this fixes all segfault problems users have been
experiencing over the past few months.

0dc03d6a30 git-svn: clean up caching of SVN::Ra functions
This patch was originally intended to make the Perl GC more
sensitive to the SVN::Pool objects and not accidentally clean
them up when they shouldn't be (causing segfaults).  That didn't
work, but this patch makes the code a bit cleaner regardless

Put our caches for get_dir and check_path calls directly into
the SVN::Ra object so they auto-expire when it is destroyed.

dirents returned by get_dir() no longer needs the pool object
stored persistently along with the cache data, as they'll be
converted to native Perl hash references.

Since calling rev_proplist repeatedly per-revision is no longer
needed in git-svn, we do not cache calls to it.

ae9ee41de8 git-config: do not forget seeing "a.b.var" means we are out of "a.var" section.
Earlier code tried to be half-careful and knew the logic that
seeing "a.var" after seeing "a.b.var" is a sign of the previous
"a.b." section has ended, but forgot it has to handle the other
way.  Seeing "a.b.var" after seeing "a.var" is a sign that "a."
section has ended, so a new "a.var2" variable should be added
before the location "a.b.var" appears.

96f12b54f7 Allow fetching references from any namespace
not only from the three defined: heads, tags and remotes.

Noticed when I tried to fetch the references created by git-p4-import.bat:
they are placed into separate namespace (refs/p4import/, to avoid showing
them in git-branch output). As canon_refs_list_for_fetch always prepended
refs/heads/ it was impossible, and annoying: it worked before. Normally,
the p4import references are useless anywhere but in the directory managed
by perforce, but in this special case the cloned directory was supposed
to be a backup, including the p4import branch: it keeps information about
where the imported perforce state came from.

c2f599e09f git-clone: don't get fooled by $PWD
If you have /home/me/git symlink pointing at /pub/git/mine,
trying to clone from /pub/git/his/ using relative path would not
work as expected:

	$ cd /home/me
        $ cd git
        $ ls ../
        his    mine
        $ git clone -l -s -n ../his/stuff.git

This is because "cd ../his/stuff.git" done inside git-clone to
check if the repository is local is confused by $PWD, which is
set to /home/me, and tries to go to /home/his/stuff.git which is
different from /pub/git/his/stuff.git.

We could probably say "set -P" (or "cd -P") instead, if we know
the shell is POSIX, but the way the patch is coded is probably
more portable.

d966e6aa66 Properly handle '0' filenames in import-tars
Randal L. Schwartz pointed out multiple times that we should be
testing the length of the name string here, not if it is "true".
The problem is the string '0' is actually false in Perl when we
try to evaluate it in this context, as '0' is 0 numerically and
the number 0 is treated as a false value.  This would cause us
to break out of the import loop early if anyone had a file or
directory named "0".
