Re: [PATCH] Keywords as Hash 2 - libsvn_wc

From: Julian Foad <julianfoad_at_btopenworld.com>

This is OK except that for no keywords, svn_wc__get_keywords() sometimes
returns NULL (if there is no list) and sometimes an empty hash (if there is an
empty list, because svn_subst_build_keywords2() does so).

The problem is that the keywords-as-hash API is inconsistent in how it
represents "no keywords": svn_subst_build_keywords2() generates an empty hash,
but all of the other functions expect NULL (but don't require it).

I agonised over this all afternoon, wondering if the keywords-as-hash API is
acceptable, and researched the existing use of apr_hash_t in our APIs, finding
that we hardly ever provide or accept NULL. However, the existing use of
keywords did use NULL (for svn_subst_keywords_t *), so I decided the API is OK
as it is.

So, I fixed the implementation of svn_wc__get_keywords() to do what it says.
It doesn't matter much what it does, since it's private, as long as it is
useful and functionally correct.

I'll commit this as soon as the regression tests finish running, along with
parts 3 and 4 which are fine.

Thanks for reviving this.

My tweaks are noted below.

"set *KEYWORDS to NULL".

I re-worded this, since a hash element can't have a null value. I've also
rearranged this doc string a bit to keep related pieces of information together.

Here I've added a statement: if it is an empty hash then set the pointer to
NULL, to comply with the doc string.
