Re: [RFH] - git-svn auth bug (possibly SVN 1.5.0-related)

It could be another incompatibility introduced in SVN 1.5.0.

I'll try to dist-upgrade a machine to Lenny sometime in the next two
weeks so I can test; I'm pretty busy these days but if anybody else
wants to figure this out in the meantime, please do :)

The problem happens only if you use FS format 3 regardless what version
of SVN perl binding you use. Also, there is no problem with using SVN
1.5 (I tried 1.5.1) as long as you use FS format 2 (I tested git-svn
with libsvn-perl 1.4.2 and 1.5.1 works fine) but if your repository is
initialized to use FS format 3 (which is the default in SVN 1.5) then
this problem happens with all versions of SVN perl binding, and it
happens exactly in the same place:

 /home/dpotapov/git/git-svn:3333:    my @ce  = $opts->{ra}->get_commit_editor($opts->{log},
sub get_commit_editor {
 /home/dpotapov/git/git-svn:3909:    my ($self, $log, $cb, $pool) = @_;
 /home/dpotapov/git/git-svn:3910:    my @lock = $SVN::Core::VERSION ge '1.2.0' ? (undef, 0) : ();
 /home/dpotapov/git/git-svn:3911:    $self->SUPER::get_commit_editor($log, $cb, @lock, $pool);
sub AUTOLOAD {
 /usr/lib/perl5/SVN/Ra.pm:74:     my $class = ref($_[0]);
 /usr/lib/perl5/SVN/Ra.pm:75:     my $method = $AUTOLOAD;
 /usr/lib/perl5/SVN/Ra.pm:76:     $method =~ s/.*:://;
 /usr/lib/perl5/SVN/Ra.pm:77:     return unless $method =~ m/[^A-Z]/;
 /usr/lib/perl5/SVN/Ra.pm:79:     my $self = shift;
 /usr/lib/perl5/SVN/Ra.pm:82:     my $func = $self->{session}->can ($method)
 /usr/lib/perl5/SVN/Ra.pm:85:     my @ret = $func->($self->{session}, @_);

Numbers of lines may be different for different versions of libsvn-perl,
but the effect is exactly the same. Instead of going to the next line
and completing AUTOLOAD, if you use FS format 3 then you end up in
croak_on_error(), which uses some uninitialized value in string
concatenation (which produces an additional warning) and then calls
croak(). End of the story :(
