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.

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.
Also group all the public repo subsections into a single section, and do
some miscellaneous related editing.

Move howto/using-topic-branches into the user manual as an example for
the "sharing development" chapter. While we're at it, remove some
discussion that's covered in earlier chapters, modernize somewhat (use
separate-heads setup, remotes, replace "whatchanged" by "log", etc.),
and replace syntax we'd need to explain by syntax we've already covered
(e.g. old..new instead of new ^old).
The result may not really describe what Tony Luck does any more.... Hope
that's not annoying.

There seems to be a perception that the howto's are bit-rotting a
little. The manual might be a more visible location for some of them,
and make-dist.txt seems like a good candidate to include as an example
in the manual.
For now, incorporate much of it verbatim. Later we may want to update
the example a bit.

These two howto's have both been copied into the manual. I'd rather not
maintain both versions if possible, and I think the user-manual will be
more visible than the howto directory. (Though I wouldn't mind some
duplication if people really like having them here.)

Revise and expand some of the definitions in the glossary, based in part
on a recent thread started by a user looking for help with some of the
jargon. I've borrowed some of the language from Linus's email on that
thread. (I'm assuming standing permission to plagiarize Linus's
email....)
Also start making a few changes to mitigate the appearance of
"circularity" mentioned in that thread:
- feel free to use somewhat longer definitions and to explain
some things more than once instead of relying purely on
cross-references
- don't use cross-references when they're redundant: eliminate
self-references and repeated references to the same entry.

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.

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.

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.

Earlier code tried to be half-careful and knew the logic that
seeing "a.var" after seeing "a.b.var" is a sign of the previous
"a.b." section has ended, but forgot it has to handle the other
way. Seeing "a.b.var" after seeing "a.var" is a sign that "a."
section has ended, so a new "a.var2" variable should be added
before the location "a.b.var" appears.

not only from the three defined: heads, tags and remotes.
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.

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.
