name-rev: tolerate clock skew in committer dates
In git.git repository, "git-name-rev v1.3.0~158" cannot name the
rev, while adjacent revs can be named.
This was because it gives up traversal from the tips of existing
refs as soon as it sees a commit that has older commit timestamp
than what is being named. This is usually a good heuristics,
but v1.3.0~158 has a slightly older commit timestamp than
v1.3.0~157 (i.e. it's child), as these two were made in a
separate repostiory (in fact, in a different continent).
This adds a hardcoded slop value (1 day) to the cut-off
heuristics to work this kind of problem around. The current
algorithm essentially runs around from the available tips down
to ancient commits and names every single rev available that are
newer than cut-off date, so a single day slop would not add that
much overhead in repositories with long enough history where the
performance of name-rev matters.
I think the algorithm could be made a bit smarter by deepening
the graph on demand as a new commit is asked to be named (this
would require rewriting of name_rev() function not to recurse
itself but use a traversal list like revision.c traverser does),
but that would be a separate issue.

git-svn: don't minimize-url when doing an init that tracks multiple paths
I didn't have a chance to test the off-by-default minimize-url
stuff enough before, but it's quite broken for people passing
the --trunk/-T, --tags/-t, --branches/-b switches to "init" or
"clone" commands.
Additionally, follow-parent functionality seems broken when we're
not connected to the root of the repository.
Default behavior for "traditional" git-svn users who only track
one directory (without needing follow-parent) should be
reasonable, as those users started using things before
minimize-url functionality existed.
Behavior for users more used to the git-svnimport-like command
line will also benefit from a more-flexible command-line than
svnimport given the assumption they're working with
non-restrictive read permissions on the repository.
I hope to properly fix these bugs when I get a chance to in the
next week or so, but I would like to get this stopgap measure of
reverting to the old behavior as soon as possible.

git-svn: avoid crashing svnserve when creating new directories
When sorting directory names by depth (slash ("/") count) and
closing the deepest directories first (as the protocol
requires), we failed to put the root baton (with an empty string
as its key "") after top-level directories (which did not have
any slashes).
This resulted in svnserve being in a situation it couldn't
handle and caused a segmentation fault on the remote server.

tutorial: revise index introduction
The embarassing history of this tutorial is that I started it without
really understanding the index well, so I avoided mentioning it.
And we all got the idea that "index" was a word to avoid using around
newbies, but it was reluctantly mentioned that *something* had to be
said. The result is a little awkward: the discussion of the index never
actually uses that word, and isn't well-integrated into the surrounding
material.
Let's just go ahead and use the word "index" from the very start, and
try to demonstrate its use with a minimum of lecturing.
Also, remove discussion of using git-commit with explicit filenames.
We're already a bit slow here to get people to their first commit, and
I'm not convinced this is really so important.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

user-manual: stop deprecating the manual
It's just as much a work-in-progress, but at least now it's gotten
enough technical review to shake out most of the really bad lies, so
hopefully it doesn't do any actual damage. And if we encourage people
to read it, they'll be more likely to whine about it, which will help
get it fixed faster.

- correct discussion of repository/HEAD->repository shortcut
- add mention of git-mergetool
- add mention of --track

and attempt to differentiate them a bit. Some more reorganization may

user-manual: add section ID's
Any section lacking an id gets an annoying warning when you build
the manual. More seriously, the table of contents then generates
volatile id's which change with every build, with the effect that
we get URL's that change all the time.
The ID's are manually generated and sometimes inconsistent, but
that's OK.
XXX: what to do about the preface?

Add test for blame corner cases.

blame: -C -C -C
When you do this, existing "blame -C -C" would not find that the
latter half of the file2 came from the existing file1:
... both file1 and file2 are tracked ...
$ cat file1 >>file2
$ git add file1 file2
$ git commit
This is because we avoid the expensive find-copies-harder code
that makes unchanged file (in this case, file1) as a candidate
for copy & paste source when annotating an existing file
(file2). The third -C now allows it. However, this obviously
makes the process very expensive. We've actually seen this
patch before, but I dismissed it because it covers such a narrow
(and arguably stupid) corner case.

blame: Notice a wholesale incorporation of an existing file.
The -C option to blame tries to find a section of a preimage
file by running diff against the lines whose origin is still
unknown, and excluding the different parts. The code however
did not cover the case where the tail part of the section
matched, which we handle for the normal non-move/copy codepath.
This breakage was most visible when preimage file matches in its
entirety and failed to pass blame in such a case.

Mention version 1.5.1 in tutorial and user-manual
Most other documentation will frequently be read from an installation
of git so will naturally be associated with the installed version.
But these two documents in particular are often read from web pages
while users are still exploring git. It's important to mention
version 1.5.1 since these documents provide example commands that
won't work with previous versions of git.

Add --no-rebase option to git-svn dcommit
git-svn dcommit exports commits to Subversion, then imports them back
to git again, and last but not least rebases or resets HEAD to the
last of the new commits. I guess this rebasing is convenient when
using just git, but when the commits to be exported are managed by
StGIT, it's really annoying. So add an option to disable this
behavior. And document it, too!
