Johan Herland fe191fcaa5 Git 2.0: git svn: Set default --prefix='origin/' if --prefix is not given
git-svn by default puts its Subversion-tracking refs directly in
refs/remotes/*. This runs counter to Git's convention of using
refs/remotes/$remote/* for storing remote-tracking branches.

Furthermore, combining git-svn with regular git remotes run the risk of
clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote
called "tags" with a "v1" branch, it will overlap with the git-svn's
tracking branch for the "v1" tag from Subversion.

Even though the git-svn refs stored in refs/remotes/* are not "proper"
remote-tracking branches (since they are not covered by a proper git
remote's refspec), they clearly represent a similar concept, and would
benefit from following the same convention.

For example, if git-svn tracks Subversion branch "foo" at
refs/remotes/foo, and you create a local branch refs/heads/foo to add
some commits to be pushed back to Subversion (using "git svn dcommit),
then it is clearly unhelpful of Git to throw

  warning: refname 'foo' is ambiguous.

every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch.

The existing workaround for this is to supply the --prefix=quux/ to
git svn init/clone, so that git-svn's tracking branches end up in
refs/remotes/quux/* instead of refs/remotes/*. However, encouraging
users to specify --prefix to work around a design flaw in git-svn is
suboptimal, and not a long term solution to the problem. Instead,
git-svn should default to use a non-empty prefix that saves
unsuspecting users from the inconveniences described above.

This patch will only affect newly created git-svn setups, as the
--prefix option only applies to git svn init (and git svn clone).
Existing git-svn setups will continue with their existing (lack of)
prefix. Also, if anyone somehow prefers git-svn's old layout, they
can recreate that by explicitly passing an empty prefix (--prefix "")
on the git svn init/clone command line.

The patch changes the default value for --prefix from "" to "origin/",
updates the git-svn manual page, and fixes the fallout in the git-svn
testcases.

(Note that this patch might be easier to review using the --word-diff
and --word-diff-regex=. diff options.)

[ew: squashed description of <= 1.9 behavior into manpage]

Jens Lehmann fd4ec4f2bb Several tests: cd inside subshell instead of around
Fixed all places where it was a straightforward change from cd'ing into a
directory and back via "cd .." to a cd inside a subshell.

Found these places with "git grep -w "cd \.\.".

Eygene Ryabinkin da083d688e git-svn testsuite: use standard configuration for Subversion tools
I have tweaked configuration in my ~/.subversion directory, namely I am
running auto-properties and automatically adding '$Id$' expansion to
every file.  This choke the last test named 'proplist' from
t9101-git-svn-props.sh, because one more property, svn:keywords is
automatically added.

I had just wrapped svn invocation with the svn_cmd that specifies empty
directory via --config-dir argument.  Since the latter is the global
option, it should be recognized by all svn subcommands, so no
regressions will be introduced.

Now svn_cmd is used everywhere, not just in the failed test module: this
should guard us from the future clashes with user-defined configuration
tweaks.

Marcus Griep 570d35c26d git-svn: Allow deep branch names by supporting multi-globs
Some repositories use a deep branching strategy, such as:

    branches/1.0/1.0.rc1
    branches/1.0/1.0.rc2
    branches/1.0/1.0.rtm
    branches/1.0/1.0.gold

Only allowing a single glob stiffles this.

This change allows for a single glob 'set' to accept this deep
branching strategy.

The ref glob depth must match the branch glob depth.  When using
the -b or -t options for init or clone, this is automatically
done.

For example, using the above branches:

  svn-remote.svn.branches = branches/*/*:refs/remote/*/*

gives the following branch names:

  1.0/1.0.rc1
  1.0/1.0.rc2
  1.0/1.0.rtm
  1.0/1.0.gold

[ew:
  * removed unrelated line-wrapping changes
  * fixed line-wrapping in a few more places
  * removed trailing whitespace
  * fixed bashism in test
  * removed unnecessary httpd startup in test
  * changed copyright on tests to 2008 Marcus Griep
  * added executable permissions to new tests
