I can't find Greg Stein's message <20020603183411.E2689@lyra.org>
anywhere in the dev mailing list archives at

   http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=dev

(I tried searching on subject and body, and browsing the June
archive). Can anyone else find it?

CC'ing this to Jason Robbins, in case he knows what's going on.

I don't agree with that change. The RA layer calls replace_root() to start a
change, and should call close_edit() to single its termination. The fact
that something "returns from a func call" should not be the appropriate
control point.

If the WC and/or client wants to do more work, then empty out your
close_edit() function and move the work outside of the editor (to be
performed when RA->do_FOO returns). But do not alter the *usage* of the
editor to fit your scenario.

How do you plan to represent revisions? It would seem that you would want to
map directory names onto (URL, revision) pairs.

Oh: also, I seem to recall a checkin somewhere saying that the dir names in
the svn:externals property are *single* components. IMO, that is wrong. They
should be relative paths. This allows you to do something like:

  svn http://svn.collab.net/...
  svn/neon http://svn.webdav.org/...
  svn/apr http://svn.apache.org/...
  svn/apr-util http://svn.apache.org/...

I don't think that you should be structuring the code such that the edit
baton is still alive (e.g. close_edit has not been called). Thus, I think
you're going to be using an entirely different structure here than an
edit_baton (since libsvn_client will be using it, and it does not have
access to an open edit_baton since RA has closed it).

I suspect that you're going to have some kind of update_baton structure that
will hold your state, and this externals function will operate on that.
You'll fetch the update_baton at the same time that you fetch the editor and
edit_baton. What is currently in the edit baton will move over (because you
won't want to close it up during the close_edit).

And yes, this is more work, but telling the RA layer that it cannot close an
edit that it *began* is just wrong (in terms of the "spirit" of the editor
API).

Micro-optimization nit: you've got the length of these two values. Comparing
their length first, and (if they're equal) using memcmp() will be faster
than a strcmp().

You've got the length of old_value, so using:

  apr_pstrmemdup(eb->pool, old_value, old_value_s->len)

will be faster.

Same, but with value->data->len.

Bleck. I think what you'll be doing is something like:

struct edit_baton {
  ...
  struct svn_wc_update_baton *ub;
  ...
};

And just referring to eb->ub->externals_new and _old. After RA returns,
libsvn_client will call svn_wc_edited_externals(&n, &o, ub). Do its work.
Then call the (new) function svn_wc_finalize_update(ub).
