The code in vcs-svn was started in 2010 as an attempt to build a
remote-helper for interacting with svn repositories (as opposed to
git-svn). However, we never got as far as shipping a mature remote
helper, and the last substantive commit was e99d012a6bc in 2012.
We do have a git-remote-testsvn, and it is even installed as part of
"make install". But given the name, it seems unlikely to be used by
anybody (you'd have to explicitly "git clone testsvn::$url", and there
have been zero mentions of that on the mailing list since 2013, and even
that includes the phrase "you might need to hack a bit to get it working
properly"[1]).
We also ship contrib/svn-fe, which builds on the vcs-svn work. However,
it does not seem to build out of the box for me, as the link step misses
some required libraries for using libgit.a. Curiously, the original
build breakage bisects for me to eff80a9fd9 (Allow custom "comment
char", 2013-01-16), which seems unrelated. There was an attempt to fix
it in da011cb0e7 (contrib/svn-fe: fix Makefile, 2014-08-28), but on my
system that only switches the error message.
So it seems like the result is not really usable by anybody in practice.
It would be wonderful if somebody wanted to pick up the topic again, and
potentially it's worth carrying around for that reason. But the flip
side is that people doing tree-wide operations have to deal with this
code. And you can see the list with (replace "HEAD" with this commit as
appropriate):
{
echo "--"
git diff-tree --diff-filter=D -r --name-only HEAD^ HEAD
} |
git log --no-merges --oneline e99d012a6bc.. --stdin
which shows 58 times somebody had to deal with the code, generally due
to a compile or test failure, or a tree-wide style fix or API change.
Let's drop it and let anybody who wants to pick it up do so by
resurrecting it from the git history.
As a bonus, this also reduces the size of a stripped installation of Git
from 21MB to 19MB.

Search for a note attached to the ref to update and read it's
'Revision-number:'-line. Start import from the next svn revision.
If there is no next revision in the svn repo, svnrdump terminates with
a message on stderr an non-zero return value. This looks a little
weird, but there is no other way to know whether there is a new
revision in the svn repo.
On the start of an incremental import, the parent of the first commit
in the fast-import stream is set to the branch name to update. All
following commits specify their parent by a mark number. Previous mark
files are currently not reused.

The reference to update by the fast-import stream is hard-coded. When
fetching from a remote the remote-helper shall update refs in a
private namespace, i.e. a private subdir of refs/. This namespace is
defined by the 'refspec' capability, that the remote-helper advertises
as a reply to the 'capabilities' command.
Extend svndump and fast-export to allow passing the target ref.
Update svn-fe to be compatible.

test-svn-fe segfaults when passed a bogus path. Simplify debugging by
exiting with a meaningful error message instead.

svndump parses data that is in SVN dumpfile format produced by
`svnadmin dump` with the help of line_buffer and uses repo_tree and
fast_export to emit a git fast-import stream.
Based roughly on com.hydrografix.svndump 0.92 from the SvnToCCase
project at <http://svn2cc.sarovar.org/>, by Stefan Hegny and
others.
[rr: allow input from files other than stdin]
[jn: with test, more error reporting]

Include the path "../../vcs-svn" while compiling it in the Makefile
and change svn-fe.c to include svndump.h.

The svn-fe tool takes a Subversion dump file as input and produces
a fast-import stream as output. This can be useful as a low-level
tool in building other importers, or for debugging the vcs-svn
library.
make svn-fe
make svn-fe.1
to test.
