compat/snprintf.c: handle snprintf's that always return the # chars transmitted

Some platforms provide a horribly broken snprintf. More broken than the
platforms that return -1 when there is too little space in the target buffer
for the formatted string. Some platforms provide an snprintf which _always_
returns the number of characters transmitted to the buffer, regardless of
whether there was enough space or not.

IRIX 6.5 is such a platform. IRIX does have a working snprintf(), but it
is only provided when _NO_XOPEN5 evaluates to zero, and this only happens
if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, but definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE prevents
inclusion of many other common functions and defines. So it must be avoided.

Work around these horribly broken snprintf implementations by detecting an
snprintf call which results in the number of transmitted characters exactly
equal to the length of our buffer and retrying with a larger buffer just to
be safe.

character, meaning we remove up to and including that
character. But if the end boundary didn't match (that is, we
hit the end of the string as the boundary instead) then we
want just "el". Asking for "el+1" caught an out-of-bounds
assertion in the strbuf library.

This manifested itself when we got a 'From' header that had
just an email address with nothing else in it (the end of
the string was the end of the address, rather than, e.g., a

git-svn: Reduce temp file usage when dealing with non-links

Currently, in sub 'close_file', git-svn creates a temporary file and
copies the contents of the blob to be written into it. This is useful
for symlinks because svn stores symlinks in the form:

link $FILE_PATH

Git creates a blob only out of '$FILE_PATH' and uses file mode to
indicate that the blob should be interpreted as a symlink.

As git-hash-object is invoked with --stdin-paths, a duplicate of the
link from svn must be created that leaves off the first five bytes,
i.e. 'link '. However, this is wholly unnecessary for normal blobs,
though, as we already have a temp file with their contents. Copying
the entire file gains nothing, and effectively requires a file to be
written twice before making it into the object db.

This patch corrects that issue, holding onto the substr-like
duplication for symlinks, but skipping it altogether for normal blobs
by reusing the existing temp file.

16 years agogit-svn: Make it incrementally faster by minimizing temp files

git-svn: Make it incrementally faster by minimizing temp files

Currently, git-svn would create a temp file on four occasions:
1. Reading a blob out of the object db
2. Creating a delta from svn
3. Hashing and writing a blob into the object db
4. Reading a blob out of the object db (in another place in code)

Any time git-svn did the above, it would dutifully create and then
delete said temp file.  Unfortunately, this means that between 2-4
temporary files are created/deleted per file 'add/modify'-ed in
svn (O(n)).  This causes significant overhead and helps the inode
counter to spin beautifully.

By its nature, git-svn is a serial beast.  Thus, reusing a temp file
does not pose significant problems.  "truncate and seek" takes much
less time than "unlink and create".  This patch centralizes the
tempfile creation and holds onto the tempfile until they are deleted
on exit.  This significantly reduces file overhead, now requiring
at most three (3) temp files per run (O(1)).

Originally dorunq assumed that the queue entry remained first

However, if the handler calls nukefile, it may not be the

Junio C Hamano [Sat, 9 Aug 2008 08:17:24 +0000 (01:17 -0700)]
mailinfo: fix MIME multi-part message boundary handling

After finding a MIME multi-part message boundary line, the handle_body()
function is supposed to first flush any accumulated contents from the
previous part to the output stream.  However, the code mistakenly output
the boundary line it found.

The old code that used one global, fixed-length buffer line[] used an
alternate static buffer newline[] for keeping track of this accumulated
contents and flushed newline[] upon seeing the boundary; when 3b6121f
(git-mailinfo: use strbuf's instead of fixed buffers, 2008-07-13)
converted a fixed-length buffer in this program to use strbuf,these two
buffers were converted to "line" and "prev" (the latter of which now has a
much more sensible name) strbufs, but the code mistakenly flushed "line"
(which contains the boundary we have just found), instead of "prev".

This resulted in the first boundary to be output in front of the first
line of the message.

The rewritten implementation of handle_boundary() lost the terminating
newline; this would then result in the second line of the message to be
stuck with the first line.

The is_multipart_boundary() was designed to catch both the internal
boundary and the terminating one (the one with trailing "--"); this also
was broken with the rewrite, and the code in the handle_boundary() to
handle the terminating boundary was never triggered.

git-svn: Allow deep branch names by supporting multi-globs

Some repositories use a deep branching strategy, such as:

    branches/1.0/1.0.rc1
    branches/1.0/1.0.rc2
    branches/1.0/1.0.rtm
    branches/1.0/1.0.gold

Only allowing a single glob stiffles this.

This change allows for a single glob 'set' to accept this deep
branching strategy.

The ref glob depth must match the branch glob depth.  When using
the -b or -t options for init or clone, this is automatically
done.

For example, using the above branches:

  svn-remote.svn.branches = branches/*/*:refs/remote/*/*

gives the following branch names:

  1.0/1.0.rc1
  1.0/1.0.rc2
  1.0/1.0.rtm
  1.0/1.0.gold
