If the 'repair' parameter to svn_subst_translate_stream() is true,
then we'll get the sensitive behavior described above. Walking up
relevant callers, this maps to the 'repair' parameter of
svn_subst_copy_and_translate(). And the two relevant callers of that
are
subversion/libsvn_wc/log.c:file_xfer_under_path()
subversion/libsvn_wc/translate.c:svn_wc_translated_file()
...which, at least on first glance, both pass true for 'repair' where
it matters. (See the 'style == svn_subst_eol_style_fixed' case of the
latter, for example.)
However, even doing a checkout now, instead of an update, doesn't
reproduce the bug in the obvious recipe. In the script included
below, the two 'ls's below print 18 bytes and 19 bytes respectively.
So my initial diagnosis is: we used to have a bug, whereby something's
eol-style could get set yet its content wouldn't be immediately
translated. But due to the the repair behavior, this bug was never
visible in the working file. And now, the bug seems to be gone, at
least judging by the results of the script below. (It seems we
encountered something similar before, see Philip's commit of r7597).
The thing that bothers me is, I can't find the commit where we fixed
this bug, if that's what it was. There's evidence in our repository
that it once existed, but we can't see it now, yet there's no record
of its disappearance. (This must be how it feels to be a
paleontologist.)
Thoughts?
