With subversion 1.5.0 (C and perl libraries) the git-svn selftest t9101-git-svn-props.sh fails at test 25 and 26. The following commands cause assertions in the svn library $ cd deeply $ git-svn propget svn:ignore . perl: /build/buildd/subversion-1.5.0dfsg1/subversion/libsvn_ra/ra_loader.c:674: svn_ra_get_dir: Assertion `*path != '/'' failed. Aborted $ git-svn propget svn:ignore .. perl: /build/buildd/subversion-1.5.0dfsg1/subversion/libsvn_subr/path.c:120: svn_path_join: Assertion `is_canonical(component, clen)' failed. With this commit, git-svn makes sure the path doesn't start with a slash, and is not a dot, working around these assertions. The breakage was reported by Lucas Nussbaum through http://bugs.debian.org/489108 Signed-off-by: Gerrit Pape <pape@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- git-svn.perl | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) I ran into this on Debian/unstable. With svn 1.5.0 the selftest fails without the patch, with svn 1.4.6 it succeeds with and without the patch. I'm not familar with the svn interfaces, not sure whether this is a regression in subversion, or a bug in git-svn. diff --git a/git-svn.perl b/git-svn.perl index f789a6e..a366c89 100755 --- a/git-svn.perl +++ b/git-svn.perl @@ -643,6 +643,8 @@ sub canonicalize_path { $path =~ s#/[^/]+/\.\.##g; $path =~ s#/$##g; $path =~ s#^\./## if $dot_slash_added; + $path =~ s#^/##; + $path =~ s#^\.$##; return $path; } -- 1.5.6 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
