vcs-svn: make buffer_read_binary API more convenient
buffer_read_binary is a thin wrapper around fread, but its signature
is wrong:
- fread can fill an arbitrary in-memory buffer. buffer_read_binary
is limited to buffers whose size is representable by a 32-bit
integer.
- The result from fread is the number of bytes actually read.
buffer_read_binary only reports the number of bytes read by
incrementing sb->len by that amount and returns void.
Fix both: let buffer_read_binary accept a size_t instead of uint32_t
for the number of bytes to read and as a convenience return the number
of bytes actually read.

vcs-svn: learn to maintain a sliding view of a file
Each section of a Subversion-format delta only requires examining (and
keeping in random-access memory) a small portion of the preimage. At
any moment, this portion starts at a certain file offset and has a
well-defined length, and as the delta is applied, the portion advances
from the beginning to the end of the preimage. Add a move_window
function to keep track of this view into the preimage.
The data structure is called sliding_view instead of _window to
prevent confusion with svndiff0 Windows.
In this example, (1) reads 10 bytes and discards the first 3;
(2) discards the first 2, which are not needed any more; and (3) skips
2 bytes and reads 2 new bytes to work with.
When move_window returns, the file position indicator is at position
window->off + window->width and the data from positions window->off to
the current file position are stored in window->buf.
This function performs only sequential access from the input file and
never seeks, so it can be safely used on pipes and sockets.
On end-of-file, move_window silently reads less than the caller
requested. On other errors, it prints a message and returns -1.

Pass the log message by strbuf instead of as a C-style string and use
fwrite instead of printf to write it to fast-import so embedded '\0'

Currently "git log" doesn't show the embedded NULs but "git cat-file

svn-fe errors out on revision 59151 of the ASF repository:
fatal: invalid dump: unexpected end of file
The proximate cause is a property with an embedded NUL character.
Previously such anomalies were ignored but commit c9d1c8ba
(2010-12-28) introduced a check strlen(val) == len to avoid reading
uninitialized data when a property list ends early and unfortunately
this test does not distinguish between "foo" followed by EOF and the
string "foo\0bar\0baz".
Fix it by using buffer_read_binary to read to a strbuf and checking
the actual length read. Most consumers of properties still use
C-style strings, so in practice an author or log message with embedded
NULs will be truncated, but a least this way svn-fe won't error out
(fixing the regression).

Use strbufs and strings instead of interned strings for values of rev,
dump, and node fields that happen to be strings. After this change,
the only remaining string_pool use is for paths in the repo_tree API
and internals.
Functional change: treat an empty author, UUID, or URL as none at all.
So for example, in repos where the first revision has an empty
svn:author property, the first rev will be treated as by "nobody"
rather than by a person with empty name and email address created by
prepending an @ sign to the repository UUID.

svn-fe processes each commit in two stages: first decide on the
correct content for all paths and export the relevant blobs, then
export a commit with the result.
But we can keep less state and simplify svn-fe a great deal by
exporting the commit in one step: use 'inline' blobs for each path and
remember nothing. This way, the repo_tree structure could be
eliminated, and we would get support for incremental imports 'for
free'.
Reorganize handle_node along these lines. This is just a code
cleanup; the changes in repo_tree and handle_revision will come later.

vcs-svn: introduce repo_read_path to check the content at a path
The repo_tree structure remembers, for each path in each revision, a
mode (regular file, executable, symlink, or directory) and content
(blob mark or directory structure). Maintaining a second copy of all
this information when it's already in the target repository is
wasteful, it does not persist between svn-fe invocations, and most
importantly, there is no convenient way to transfer it from one
machine to another. So it would be nice to get rid of it.
As a first step, let's change the repo_tree API to match fast-import's
read commands more closely. Currently to read the mode for a path,
one uses
repo_modify_path(path, new_mode, new_content);
which changes the mode and content as a side effect. There is no
function to read the content at a path; add one.

It can sometimes be useful to write information temporarily to file,
to read back later. These functions allow a program to use the
line_buffer facilities when doing so.
It works like this:
1. find a unique filename with buffer_tmpfile_init.
2. rewind with buffer_tmpfile_rewind. This returns a stdio
handle for writing.
3. when finished writing, declare so with
buffer_tmpfile_prepare_to_read. The return value indicates
how many bytes were written.
4. read whatever portion of the file is needed.
5. if finished, remove the temporary file with buffer_deinit.
otherwise, go back to step 2,
The svn support would use this to buffer the postimage from delta
application until the length is known and fast-import can receive
the resulting blob.

buffer_read_char can be used in place of buffer_read_string(1) to
avoid consuming valuable static buffer space. The delta applier will
use this to read variable-length integers one byte at a time.
Underneath, it is fgetc, wrapped so the line_buffer library can
maintain its role as gatekeeper of input.
Later it might be worth checking if fgetc_unlocked is faster ---
most line_buffer functions are not thread-safe anyway.

buffer_read_string works well for non line-oriented input except for
one problem: it does not tell the caller how many bytes were actually
written. This means that unless one is very careful about checking
for errors (and eof) the calling program cannot tell the difference
between the string "foo" followed by an early end of file and the
string "foo\0bar\0baz".
So introduce a variant that reports the length, too, a thinner wrapper
around strbuf_fread. Its result is written to a strbuf so the caller
does not need to keep track of the number of bytes read.

POSIX makes the behavior of read(2) from a pipe fairly clear: a read
from an empty pipe will block until there is data available and any
other read will not block, prefering to return a partial result.
Likewise, fread(3) and fgets(3) are clearly specified to act as
though implemented by calling fgetc(3) in a simple loop. But the
buffering behavior of fgetc is less clear.
Luckily, no sane platform is going to implement fgetc by calling the
equivalent of read(2) more than once. fgetc has to be able to
return without filling its buffer to preserve errno when errors are
encountered anyway. So let's assume the simpler behavior (trust) but
add some tests to catch insane platforms that violate that when they
come (verify).
First check that fread can handle a 0-length read from an empty fifo.
Because open(O_RDONLY) blocks until the writing end is open, open the
writing end of the fifo in advance in a subshell.
Next try short inputs from a pipe that is not filled all the way.
Lastly (two tests) try very large inputs from a pipe that will not fit
in the relevant buffers. The first of these tests reads a little
more than 8192 bytes, which is BUFSIZ (the size of stdio's buffers)
on this Linux machine. The second reads a little over 64 KiB (the
pipe capacity on Linux) and is not run unless requested by setting
the GIT_REMOTE_SVN_TEST_BIG_FILES environment variable.

Lazy fast-import frontend authors that want to rely on the backend to
keep track of the content of the imported trees _almost_ have what
they need in the 'cat-blob' command (v1.7.4-rc0~30^2~3, 2010-11-28).
But it is not quite enough, since
(1) cat-blob can be used to retrieve the content of files, but
not their mode, and
(2) using cat-blob requires the frontend to keep track of a name
(mark number or object id) for each blob to be retrieved
Introduce an 'ls' command to complement cat-blob and take care of the
remaining needs. The 'ls' command finds what is at a given path
within a given tree-ish (tag, commit, or tree):
'ls' SP <dataref> SP <path> LF
or in fast-import's active commit:
'ls' SP <path> LF
The response is a single line sent through the cat-blob channel,
imitating ls-tree output. So for example:
The most interesting parts of the reply are the first word, which is
a 6-digit octal mode (regular file, executable, symlink, directory,
or submodule), and the part from the second space to the tab, which is
a <dataref> that can be used in later cat-blob, ls, and filemodify (M)
commands to refer to the content (blob, tree, or commit) at that path.
If there is nothing there, the response is "missing some/path".
The intent is for this command to be used to read files from the
active commit, so a frontend can apply patches to them, and to copy
files and directories from previous revisions.
For example, proposed updates to svn-fe use this command in place of
its internal representation of the repository directory structure.
This simplifies the frontend a great deal and means support for
resuming an import in a separate fast-import run (i.e., incremental
import) is basically free.

Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.
When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,

But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.

So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not

do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)

./quote.h:33:33: warning: ‘struct strbuf’ declared inside parameter list
./quote.h:33:33: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
./quote.h:34:34: warning: ‘struct strbuf’ declared inside parameter list
...
Add a toplevel declaration for struct strbuf to avoid this.
While at it, stop including system headers from quote.h. git source
files already need to include git-compat-util.h sooner to ensure the
appropriate feature test macros are defined.

Cached object store was added in d66b37b (Add pretend_sha1_file()
interface. - 2007-02-04) as a way to temporarily inject some objects
to object store.
But only read_sha1_file() knows about this store. While it will return
an object from this store, sha1_object_info() will happily say
"object not found".
Teach sha1_object_info() about the cached store for consistency.

"git diff --cached" (without revision) used to mean "git diff --cached
HEAD" (i.e. the user was too lazy to type HEAD). This "correctly"
failed when there was no commit yet. But was that correctness useful?
This patch changes the definition of what particular command means.
It is a request to show what _would_ be committed without further "git
add". The internal implementation is the same "git diff --cached HEAD"
when HEAD exists, but when there is no commit yet, it compares the index
with an empty tree object to achieve the desired result.

t4120-apply-popt: help systems with core.filemode=false
A test case verifies that filemode-only patches work as expected. Help
systems where "test -x" does not work by applying the test patch also to
the index, where the effects can be verified even on such systems.
