Mark prompt message assembled in place for translation, unfolding each
use case for each entry in the %patch_modes hash table.
Previously, this script relied on whether $patch_mode was set to run the
command patch_update_cmd() or show status and loop the main loop. Now,
it uses $cmd to indicate we must run patch_update_cmd() and $patch_mode
is used to tell which flavor of the %patch_modes are we on. This is
introduced in order to be able to mark and unfold the message prompt
knowing in which context we are.
The tracking of context was done previously by point %patch_mode_flavour
hash table to the correct entry of %patch_modes, focusing only on value
of %patch_modes. Now, we are also interested in the key ('staged',
'stash', 'checkout_head', ...).

Reusing cached data speeds up git-svn by quite a fair bit. However, if
the YAML module is unavailable, the caches are written to disk in an
architecture-dependent manner. That leads to problems when upgrading,
say, from 32-bit to 64-bit Git for Windows.
Let's just try to read those caches back if we detect the absence of the
YAML module and the presence of the file, and delete the file if it
could not be read back correctly.
Note that the only way to catch the error when the memoized cache could
not be read back is to put the call inside an `eval { ... }` block
because it would die otherwise; the `eval` block should also return `1`
in case of success explicitly since the function reading back the cached
data does not return an appropriate value to test for success.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/233.

"git send-email" attempts to pick up valid e-mails from the

The test introduced in this commit succeeds without the patch to Git.pm

parser does not accept any text after the email address. They succeed
both with and without Mail::Address after this commit.
Mail::Address accepts extra text and considers it as part of the name,
iff the address is surrounded with <...>. The implementation mimics
this behavior as closely as possible.
This mostly restores the behavior we had before b1c8a11 (send-email:
allow multiple emails using --cc, --to and --bcc, 2015-06-30), but we

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.

On Windows, absolute paths never start with a slash, unless a POSIX
emulation layer is used. The latter is the case for MSYS2's Perl that
Git for Windows leverages. However, in the tests we also go through
plain `git.exe`, which does *not* leverage the POSIX emulation layer,
and therefore the paths we pass to Perl may actually be DOS-style paths
such as C:/Program Files/Git.
So let's just use Perl's own way to test whether a given path is
absolute or not instead of home-brewing our own.
This patch partially fixes t7800 and t9700 when running in Git for
Windows' SDK.

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.

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.

running "git svn info" and counting via "strace -fc". Further,

With this change applied, importing from local svn+ssh and http copies

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

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:

Unfortunately, there remains some yet-to-be-tracked-down slow memory
growth which would be evident as the `nr' parameter increases in

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"
