[PATCH] libsvn_repos logging API -- first draft

From: Ben Collins-Sussman <sussman_at_collab.net>
Date: 2005-07-15 02:50:12 CEST

So here's a first rough draft at a new libsvn_repos logging API, just
to get things rolling. Let the dart-throwing begin.

Here are my design principles:

    * the API should be shareable by both svnserve and mod_dav_svn, or
      really, *any* process using libsvn_repos.

    * logging is a feature of the repository object. My plan is to
      extend svn_repos_t to contain new runtime variables that point to
      logfiles. Callers of svn_repos_t have accessors to get/set these
      variables.

    * the API should allow the process to identify itself in the log.
      That way we can tell if the log-entry was written by apache, by
      svnserve, or even a client using direct access.

    * as Branko pointed out earlier, network requests should -not- be
      mixed with debugging logs. So I've decided to follow apache's
      model: an "accesslog" for network requests, and an "errorlog" to
      hold both errors and debug-messages, based on the repository's
      current "log-level".

    * I've tried to keep the API as minimal as can be (KISS). Notice
      that while there are only three log-levels in the enumerated type
      right now, they're spread out enough to add more levels later on.
