Junio C Hamano d475536658 Merge branch 'svn-fe' of git://repo.or.cz/git/jrn into jn/svn-fe
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.

* 'svn-fe' of git://repo.or.cz/git/jrn: (32 commits)
  vcs-svn: reset first_commit_done in fast_export_init
  vcs-svn: do not initialize report_buffer twice
  vcs-svn: avoid hangs from corrupt deltas
  vcs-svn: guard against overflow when computing preimage length
  vcs-svn: cap number of bytes read from sliding view
  test-svn-fe: split off "test-svn-fe -d" into a separate function
  vcs-svn: implement text-delta handling
  vcs-svn: let deltas use data from preimage
  vcs-svn: let deltas use data from postimage
  vcs-svn: verify that deltas consume all inline data
  vcs-svn: implement copyfrom_data delta instruction
  vcs-svn: read instructions from deltas
  vcs-svn: read inline data from deltas
  vcs-svn: read the preimage when applying deltas
  vcs-svn: parse svndiff0 window header
  vcs-svn: skeleton of an svn delta parser
  vcs-svn: make buffer_read_binary API more convenient
  vcs-svn: learn to maintain a sliding view of a file
  Makefile: list one vcs-svn/xdiff object or header per line
  vcs-svn: avoid using ls command twice

Contributed Software

Although these pieces are available as part of the official git
source tree, they are in somewhat different status.  The
intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe
even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them,
and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved
faster.

I am not expecting to touch these myself that much.  As far as
my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are
owned by their respective primary authors.  I am willing to help
if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners"
have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to
fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree
owners.  IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for
enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so
just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch.  If
you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be
first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author
should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer).
This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a
lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the
drill.

I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area
to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming
projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory.  On
the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused
and inactive ones from time to time.

If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose
it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves
there are some general interests (it does not have to be a
list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow
audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose
upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is
of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN
repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport),
submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your
stuff there.
