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.
This bug did not affect users of DAV and filesystem repositories.

The todo list at the end of the user manual says that something must be
said about .gitignore. Also, there seems to be a lack of documentation
on how to choose between the various types of ignore files (.gitignore
vs. .git/info/exclude, etc.).
This patch adds a section on ignoring files which try to introduce how
to tell git about ignored files, and how the different strategies
complement eachother.
The syntax of exclude patterns is explained in a simplified manner, with
a reference to git-ls-files(1) which already contains a more thorough
explanation.
I don't really want to look like we're encouraging the shared repository
thing. Take down some of the argument for using purely
single-developer-owned repositories and collaborating using patches and

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.

Fix crlf attribute handling to match documentation
gitattributes.txt says, of the crlf attribute:
Set::
Setting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark
the path as a "text" file. 'core.autocrlf' conversion
takes place without guessing the content type by
inspection.
That is to say that the crlf attribute does not force the file to have
CRLF line endings, instead it removes the autocrlf guesswork and forces
the file to be treated as text. Then, whatever line ending is defined
by the autocrlf setting is applied.
However, that is not what convert.c was doing. The conversion to CRLF
was being skipped in crlf_to_worktree() when the following condition was
true:
action == CRLF_GUESS && auto_crlf <= 0
That is to say conversion took place when not in guess mode (crlf attribute
not specified) or core.autocrlf set to true. This was wrong. It meant
that the crlf attribute being on for a given file _forced_ CRLF
conversion, when actually it should force the file to be treated as
text, and converted accordingly. The real test should simply be
auto_crlf <= 0
That is to say, if core.autocrlf is falsei (or input), conversion from
LF to CRLF is never done. When core.autocrlf is true, conversion from
LF to CRLF is done only when in CRLF_GUESS (and the guess is "text"), or
CRLF_TEXT mode.
Similarly for crlf_to_worktree(), if core.autocrlf is false, no conversion
should _ever_ take place. In reality it was only not taking place if
core.autocrlf was false _and_ the crlf attribute was unspecified.

git-archive: convert archive entries like checkouts do
As noted by Johan Herland, git-archive is a kind of checkout and needs
to apply any checkout filters that might be configured.
This patch adds the convenience function convert_sha1_file which returns
a buffer containing the object's contents, after converting, if necessary
(i.e. it's a combination of read_sha1_file and convert_to_working_tree).
Direct calls to read_sha1_file in git-archive are then replaced by calls
to convert_sha1_file.
Since convert_sha1_file expects its path argument to be NUL-terminated --
a convention it inherits from convert_to_working_tree -- the patch also
changes the path handling in archive-tar.c to always NUL-terminate the
string. It used to solely rely on the len field of struct strbuf before.
archive-zip.c already NUL-terminates the path and thus needs no such
change.

user-manual: reorganize public git repo discussion
Helping a couple people set up public repos recently, I wanted to point
them at this piece of the user manual, but found it wasn't as helpful as
it could be:
- It starts with a big explanation of why you'd want a public
repository, not necessary in their case since they already knew
why they wanted that. So, separate that out.
- It skimps on some of the git-daemon details, and puts the http
export information first. Fix that.

now if git-gui 0.7.0-rc1 or later is being used and TCL_PATH was not

a working build configuration today and suddenly upgrade to the latest
git release.
The tclIndex is required for git-gui to load its associated lib files,
but using the Tcl auto_load procedure to source only the files we need
is a performance optimization. We can emulate the auto_load by just
source'ing every file in that directory, assuming we source class.tcl
first to initialize our crude class system.

David Kågedal proposed that gitweb should explicitely request

Given that it's a feature that's meant to calm those very people, it
seems obtuse to make them edit every file just to make use of it.
I think that bzr uses $Id$; Mercurial has examples hooks for $Id$;

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: 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.
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.
git-svn: don't drop the username from URLs when dcommit is run
We no longer store usernames in URLs stored in git-svn-id lines
for dcommit, so we shouldn't rely on those URLs when connecting
to the remote repository to commit.
