git-svn: use YAML format for mergeinfo cache when possible
Since v1.7.0-rc2~11 (git-svn: persistent memoization, 2010-01-30),
git-svn has maintained some private per-repository caches in
.git/svn/.caches to avoid refetching and recalculating some
mergeinfo-related information with every "git svn fetch".
These caches use the 'nstore' format from the perl core module
Storable, which can be read and written quickly and was designed for
transfer over the wire (the 'n' stands for 'network'). This format is
endianness-independent and independent of floating-point
representation.
Unfortunately the format is *not* independent of the perl version ---
new perl versions will write files that very old perl cannot read.
Worse, the format is not independent of the size of a perl integer.
So if you toggle perl's use64bitint compile-time option, then using
'git svn fetch' on your old repositories produces errors like this:
Byte order is not compatible at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit
into ../../lib/auto/Storable/_retrieve.al) line 380, at
/usr/share/perl/5.12/Memoize/Storable.pm line 21
That is, upgrading perl to a version that uses use64bitint for the
first time makes git-svn suddenly refuse to fetch in existing
repositories. Removing .git/svn/.caches lets git-svn recover.
It's time to switch to a platform independent serializer backend with
better compatibility guarantees. This patch uses YAML::Any.
Other choices were considered:
- thawing data from Data::Dumper involves "eval". Doing that without
creating a security risk is fussy.
- the JSON API works on scalars in memory and doesn't provide a
standard way to serialize straight to disk.
YAML::Any is reasonably fast and has a pleasant API. In most
backends, LoadFile() reads the entire file into a scalar anyway and
converts it as a second step, but having an interface that allows the
deserialization to happen on the fly without a temporary is still a
comfort.
YAML::Any is not a core perl module, so we take care to use it when
and only when it is available. Installations without that module
should fall back to using Storable with all its quirks, keeping their
cache files in
.git/svn/.caches/*.db
Installations with YAML peacefully coexist by keeping a separate set
of cache files in
.git/svn/.caches/*.yaml.
In most cases, switching between is a one-time thing, so it doesn't
seem worth the complication to migrate existing caches.
The upshot: after this patch, as long as YAML::Any is installed you
can move your git repository between machines with different perl
installations and "git svn fetch" will work fine. If you do not have
YAML::Any, the behavior is unchanged (and in particular does not get
any worse).

This slices off another 600 or so lines from the frighteningly long
git-svn.perl script.
The Git::SVN::Ra interface is similar enough to SVN::Ra that it is
probably safe to ignore most of its implementation on first reading.
(Documenting or moving functions that do not fit that pattern is left
as an exercise to the interested reader.)
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.

Most of our documentation is in a single directory, so using
linkgit:git-config[1] just generates a relative link in the
same directory. However, this is not the case with the API
documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to
git-config from the parent directory.
We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building
in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit
definitions.
We only have to modify the html linkgit definition. For
manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons:
1. we do not generate actual links to the file in
manpages, but instead just give the name and section of
the linked manpage
2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories,
only html

In most cases, plural-forms are unnecessary for Chinese. For example,
"apple" and "apples" are the same in Chinese, they are both translated
as "苹果". While there are exceptions, e.g., the plural form of "he",
"she" and "it" is "they" in English. In Chinese, "他(he)", "她(she)",
and "它(it)" have plural forms too, they are "他们", "她们", and "它们".
But what makes 'nplurals=1' hard to work right for Chinese is:
#: bundle.c:192
#, c-format
msgid "The bundle requires this ref"
msgid_plural "The bundle requires these %d refs"

Git over HTTPS has a high request startup latency, since the SSL
negotiation can take up to a second. In order to reduce this latency,
connections should be left open to the Git server across requests
(or invocations of the git commandline).
Reduce SSL startup latency by running a daemon job that keeps
connections open to a Git server. The daemon job
(git-remote-persistent-https--proxy) is started on the first request
through the client binary (git-remote-persistent-https) and remains
running for 24 hours after the last request, or until a new daemon
binary is placed in the PATH. The client determines the daemon's
HTTP address by communicating over a UNIX socket with the daemon.
From there, the rest of the Git protocol work is delegated to the
"git-remote-http" binary, with the environment's http_proxy set to
the daemon.
Accessing /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux repository hosted
at kernel.googlesource.com with "git ls-remote" over https:// and
persistent-https:// 5 times shows that the first request takes about
the same time (0.193s vs 0.208s---there is a slight set-up cost for
the local proxy); as expected, the other four requests are much
faster (~0.18s vs ~0.08s).
Incidentally, this also has the benefit of HTTP keep-alive working
across Git command invocations. Its common for servers to use a 5
minute keep-alive on an HTTP 1.1 connection. Git-over-HTTP commonly
uses Transfer-Encoding: chunked on replies, so keep-alive will
generally just work, even though a pack stream's length isn't known
in advance. Because the helper is an external process holding that
connection open, we also benefit from being able to reuse an
existing TCP connection to the server. The same "git ls-remote"
test against http:// vs persistent-https:// URL shows that the
former takes ~0.09s while the first request for the latter is about
0.134s with set-up cost, and subsequent requests are ~0.065s,
shaving around one RTT to the server.

The earlier "--keep-redundant-commit" series broke "cherry-pick"
that is given a commit whose change is already in the current
history. Such a cherry-pick would result in an empty change, and
should stop with an error, telling the user that conflict resolution
may have made the result empty (which is exactly what is happening),
but we silently dropped the change on the floor without any message
nor non-zero exit code.
submodules: print "registered for path" message only once
Since 2cd9de3e (submodule add: always initialize .git/config entry) the
message "Submodule '\$name' (\$url) registered for path '\$sm_path'" is
printed every time cmd_init() is called, e.g. each time "git submodule
update" is used with the --init option.
This was not intended and leads to bogus output which can confuse users
and build systems. Apart from that the $url variable was not set after the
first run which did the actual initialization and only "()" was printed
in subsequent runs where "($url)" was meant to inform the user about the
upstream repo.
Fix that by moving the say command in question into the if block where the
url is initialized, restoring the behavior that was in place before the 2cd9de3e commit. While at it also remove the comment which still describes
the logic used before 2cd9de3e and add a comment about how things work now.

git-svn.perl is very long (around 6500 lines) and although it is
nicely split into modules, some new readers do not even notice --- it
is too distracting to see all this functionality collected in a single
file.
Splitting it into multiple files would make it easier for people
to read individual modules straight through and to experiment with
components separately.
Let's start with Git::SVN::Prompt. For simplicity, we install this as
a module in the standard search path, just like the existing Git and
Git::I18N modules. In the process, add a manpage explaining its
interface and that it is not likely to be useful for other projects to

fmt-merge-message: add empty line between tag and signature verification
When adding the information from a tag, put an empty line between the
message of the tag and the commented-out signature verification
information.
At least for the kernel workflow, I often end up re-formatting the message
that people send me in the tag data. In that situation, putting the tag
message and the tag signature verification back-to-back then means that
normal editor "reflow parapgraph" command will get confused and think that
the signature is a continuation of the last message paragraph.
So I always end up having to first add an empty line, and then go back and
reflow the last paragraph. Let's just do it in git directly.
The extra vertical space also makes the verification visually stand out
more from the user-supplied message, so it looks a bit more readable to me
too, but that may be just an odd personal preference.
