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.

Currently the vcs-svn/ library only pays attention to the presence of
the Prop-Content-Length field and doesn't care about its value, but
some day we might care about the value. Parse it as an off_t instead
of arbitrarily limiting to 32 bits for intuitiveness.
So now you can import from a dump with more than 2 GiB of properties
for a node. In practice that isn't likely to happen often, and this
is mostly meant as a cleanup.

There is no reason in principle that an svn-format dump would not be
able to represent a file whose length does not fit in a 32-bit
integer. Use off_t consistently to represent file lengths (in place
of using uint32_t in some contexts) so we can handle that.
Most svn-fe code is already ready to do that without this patch and
passes values of type off_t around. The type mismatch from stragglers
was noticed with gcc -Wtype-limits.
While at it, tighten the parsing of the Text-content-length field to
make sure it is a number and does not overflow, and tighten other
overflow checks as that value is passed around and manipulated.

This simplifies svn-fe a great deal and fulfills a longstanding wish:
support for dumps with deltas in them, and incremental imports.
The cost is that commandline usage of the svn-fe tool becomes a little
more complicated since it no longer keeps state itself but instead reads
blobs back from fast-import in order to copy them between revisions and
apply deltas to them.
Also removes a couple of custom data structures and replaces them with
strbufs like other parts of Git.

Handle input in Subversion's dumpfile format, version 3. This is the
format produced by "svnrdump dump" and "svnadmin dump --deltas", and
the main difference between v3 dumpfiles and the dumpfiles already
handled is that these can include nodes whose properties and text are
expressed relative to some other node.
To handle such nodes, we find which node the text and properties are
based on, handle its property changes, use the cat-blob command to
request the basis blob from the fast-import backend, use the
svndiff0_apply() helper to apply the text delta on the fly, writing
output to a temporary file, and then measure that postimage file's
length and write its content to the fast-import stream.
The temporary postimage file is shared between delta-using nodes to
avoid some file system overhead.
The svn-fe interface needs to be more complicated to accomodate the
backward flow of information from the fast-import backend to svn-fe.
The backflow fd is not needed when parsing streams without deltas,
though, so existing scripts using svn-fe on v2 dumps should
continue to work.

svn-fe errors out on revision 59151 of the ASF repository:
fatal: invalid dump: unexpected end of file
The proximate cause is a property with an embedded NUL character.
Previously such anomalies were ignored but commit c9d1c8ba
(2010-12-28) introduced a check strlen(val) == len to avoid reading
uninitialized data when a property list ends early and unfortunately
this test does not distinguish between "foo" followed by EOF and the
string "foo\0bar\0baz".
Fix it by using buffer_read_binary to read to a strbuf and checking
the actual length read. Most consumers of properties still use
C-style strings, so in practice an author or log message with embedded
NULs will be truncated, but a least this way svn-fe won't error out
(fixing the regression).

as it arrives in input and then forgetting about it. A better
strategy would be to use inline blobs:
commit
mark :3

M 100644 inline hello.c

Set up some plumbing: teach the svndump lib to pass a file descriptor
number to the fast_export lib, representing where cat-blob/ls
responses can be read from, and add a get_response_line helper
function to the fast_export lib to read a line from that file.
Unfortunately this means that svn-fe needs file descriptor 3 to be
redirected from somewhere (preferrably the cat-blob stream of a
fast-import backend); otherwise it will fail:
$ svndump <path> | svn-fe
fatal: cannot read from file descriptor 3: Bad file descriptor
For the moment, "svn-fe 3</dev/null" works as a workaround but it
will not work for very long. A fast-import backend that can retrieve
old commits is needed in order to be able to fulfill svn
"Node-copyfrom-rev" requests that refer to revs from a previous run.

svn-fe processes each commit in two stages: first decide on the
correct content for all paths and export the relevant blobs, then
export a commit with the result.
But we can keep less state and simplify svn-fe a great deal by
exporting the commit in one step: use 'inline' blobs for each path and
remember nothing. This way, the repo_tree structure could be
eliminated, and we would get support for incremental imports 'for
free'.
Reorganize handle_node along these lines. This is just a code
cleanup; the changes in repo_tree and handle_revision will come later.

The rules for what file is used as delta source for each file are not
documented in dump-load-format.txt. Luckily, the Apache Software
Foundation repository has rich enough examples to figure out most of
the rules:
Node-action: replace implies the empty property set and empty text as
preimage for deltas. Otherwise, if a copyfrom source is given, that
node is the preimage for deltas. Lastly, if none of the above applies
and the node path exists in the current revision, then that version
forms the basis.

The mode for each file in an svn-format dump is kept in the properties
section. The properties section is read as soon as possible to allow
the correct mode to be filled in when registering the file with the
repo_tree lib.
To support nodes with a missing properties section, svn-fe determines
the mode in three stages:
- The kind (directory or file) of the node is read from the dump and
used to make an initial estimate (040000 or 100644).
- Properties are read in and allowed to override this for symlinks
and executables.
- If there is no properties section, the mode from the previous
content of the path is left alone, overriding the above
considerations.
This is a bit of a mess, and worse, it would get even more complicated
once we start to support property deltas. If we could only register
the file with a provisional value for mode and then change it later
when properties say so, the procedure would be much simpler.
... oh, right, we can.

There are two functions to change the staged content for a path in the
svn importer's active commit: repo_replace, which changes the text and
returns the mode, and repo_modify, which changes the text and mode and
returns nothing.
Worse, there are more subtle differences:
- A mark of 0 passed to repo_modify means "use the existing content".
repo_replace uses it as mark :0 and produces a corrupt stream.
- When passed a path that is not part of the active commit,
repo_replace returns without doing anything. repo_modify
transparently adds a new directory entry.
Get rid of both and introduce a new function with the best features of
both: repo_modify_path modifies the mode, content, or both for a path,
depending on which arguments are zero. If no such dirent already
exists, it does nothing and reports the error by returning 0.
Otherwise, the return value is the resulting mode.
