Would it be good to document here the exact error returned if the
server does not support this RA function?

Hmmm. I feel like we've got similar code to this elsewhere in ra_dav,
let's see... Yes, in fetch.c, *and* in log.c, the exact same code.
Before we had it in two places, now we have it in three.

This is getting ridiculous. I think it's time to factor this
somewhere. Of course, you're not the original sinner, just the most
recent :-), but would you like to fix this?

Same factorization comment applies here.

Ah hah -- presumably, this is the error I suggested documenting in the
prototype?

I realize we have been inconsistent (or worse) about this elsewhere in
ra_dav, but might be good to say explicitly that this implements the
'svn_ra_plugin_t.get_file_revs' prototype, so people can easily find
the right doc string.

Same thing about mentioning where to find the doc string.

Did you mean 'svn_prop_t' here? More precisely, did you mean
'svn_prop_t *'? In general, you should say the exact types of input
and output elements.

Also, there's a small confusion between the doc string and the
prototype: The doc string implies that 'diffs' is input and 'list' is
output. Yet diffs is the double-star type, which implies it is the
*output*. I presume this function sets '*diffs' to a new
'apr_array_header_t *', allocated in pool, etc.

Generally, we document such functions this way:

  /* Set *OUTPUT to an array of 'svn_blah_t *' objects, based on the
     information in INPUT. Allocate *OUTPUT and its elements in POOL. */

You know, something like that.

Okay, I can see that the types are behaving as expected here; it is
the doc string which is confusing.

At first, I couldn't figure out why you had both rev_pool and
chunk_pool being created and destroyed at the same level; but looking
at the code, I see it makes sense.

Say "Return", not just "Create". Might also want to point out that
this allocates the stream in POOL.

Again, we've gone from code duplication in two places to three
places. All of these send_xml() functions (here, in log.c, and in
update.c) seem to do basically the same thing. It's true they look
inside the specific batons, but the things they extract from those
batons are always the same things: 'bb', 'output', and 'c->aborted',
which are presumably the same types wherever they occur.

I wonder if we can't factor this code into one place, taking those
three things as parameters, instead of extracting them from the baton
every time? If we really want to, we can have a wrapper function in
each file to do the extracting, but at least the bulk of the
send_xml() code could be factored...

This is basically duplicated from log.c, but on the other hand, I can
see how it would be hard to factor, since the header it sends out is
specific to the baton type anyway.

In situations like that, I sometimes add a comment to both places,
saying "Note that this is essentially duplicated in log.c [or
file_revs.c]. If duplicating again, then consider factoring." In
other words, the factorization overhead is not worth it if it's only
two places, but if it's three (or five, or whatever), then it's
starting to be worth it.

The passive voice in the second sentence obscures the calling
discipline here -- it's not instantly clear whether this is saying
that the caller must make sure NAME is properly quoted and VAL
encoded, or that this function does the quoting and encoding. Of
course, after a moment's thought, one realizes that this function does
the quoting/encoding, but if it used the active voice, the reader
wouldn't ever wonder.

Looks like you've got a tranpsosition there :-).

This doesn't appear to be documented in dav_svn.h either... (I realize
that ra_dav and mod_dav_svn are spotty in their documentation, for
historical reasons, but new code should always be documented).

Is it really 'svn_prop_t', or is it 'svn_prop_t *'?

Wow, so it's really 'svn_prop_t'. Okay. But then why bother to take
its address? Why not just do

   const svn_prop_t prop = APR_ARRAY_IDX(propdiffs, i, svn_prop_t);
   SVN_ERR(svn_ra_svn_write_tuple(conn, pool, "c(?s)",
                                  prop.name, prop.value));

in that case?

This entire file doesn't seem to use doc strings, so I can't really
fault you for not writing them for your new code, but... I wish I knew
why we do not have doc strings for internal functions in svnserve. :-(

Comments like the ones above are only to be expected in a change this
large, please don't take them as my reaction to the change as a whole.
It's a very solid piece of work -- bravo!
