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.

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.

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.

glossary: expand and clarify some definitions, prune cross-references

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.

*** 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:

17 years agogit-svn: don't attempt to minimize URLs by default
Eric Wong [Sun, 13 May 2007 16:58:14 +0000 (09:58 -0700)]
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 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.

them up when they shouldn't be (causing segfaults).  That didn't

 * The tree state before the patch is applied has arch/x86_64/boot
   as a symlink pointing at ../i386/boot/

 * The patch tries to remove arch/x86_64/boot symlink, and
   create bunch of files there: .gitignore, Makefile, etc.

git-apply tries to be careful while applying patches; it never
touches the working tree until it is convinced that the patch
would apply cleanly.  One of the check it does is that when it
knows a path is going to be created by the patch, it runs
lstat() on the path to make sure it does not exist.

This leads to a false alarm.  Because we do not touch the
working tree before all the check passes, when we try to make
sure that arch/x86_64/boot/.gitignore does not exist yet, we
haven't removed the arch/x86_64/boot symlink.  The lstat() check
ends up seeing arch/i386/boot/.gitignore through the
yet-to-be-removed symlink, and says "Hey, you already have a
file there, but what you fed me is a patch to create a new
file. I am not going to clobber what you have in the working
tree."

We have similar checks to see a file we are going to modify does
exist and match the preimage of the diff, which is done by
directly opening and reading the file.

For a file we are going to delete, we make sure that it does
exist and matches what is going to be removed (a removal patch
records the full preimage, so we check what you have in your
working tree matches it in full -- otherwise we would risk
losing your local changes), which again is done by directly
opening and reading the file.

These checks need to be adjusted so that they are not fooled by

   does not exist, it does not, so be happy.  If it _does_, we
   might be getting fooled by a symlink in the middle, so break
   leading paths and see if there are symlinks involved.  When
   we are checking for a path a/b/c/d, if any of a, a/b, a/b/c
   is a symlink, then a/b/c/d does _NOT_ exist, for the purpose
   of our test.

   This would fix this particular case you saw, and would not
   add extra overhead in the usual case.

 - To make sure something already exists, first lstat().  If it
   does not exist, barf (up to this, we already do).  Even if it
   does seem to exist, we might be getting fooled by a symlink
   in the middle, so make sure leading paths are not symlinks.

   This would make the normal codepath much more expensive for
   deep trees, which is a bit worrisome.

This patch implements the first side of the check "making sure
it does not exist".  The latter "making sure it exists" check is
not done yet, so applying the patch in reverse would still
fail, but we have to start from somewhere.
