Re: Nasty double-replace copy-on-update bug

From: Ben Collins-Sussman <sussman_at_red-bean.com>

Let me elaborate on this bug: it's something epg, glasser and I
discovered fooling around within Google today. It only exists using
the latest 1.5 server and client.

The basic symptom is: you start a checkout, and at some point the 1.5
server says "add_file(foo, copyfrom=bar@10". The client searches
around for bar@10 in the working copy, and finds it. Or rather it
*thinks* it finds it, but it's actually the wrong version of the file.
 So, rather than just doing a side svn_ra_get_file() fetch (as it
should), it installs the wrong version of the file with a quick wc-wc
copy. The server then tries to apply a txdelta to the file, and the
checksum fails... boom, failed checkout.

The question is: why the wc-searching routine
(update_editor.c:locate_copyfrom()) think that it's found the correct
version of the file, when it's not? Answer: it seems to be getting
stale svn_wc_entry_t information. It's reading a couple of entries
files from disk, rather than from a more recent adm_access set still
held in memory, and getting an incorrect (stale) last-changed-rev
value. From poking around in gdb, it seems that the entry_t's which
are write-cached in memory are correct -- they have the proper
last-changed-rev values, but simply aren't flushed to disk yet.

I attempted to solve this by passing in the edit_baton->access_set to
the searching routine, but it's not fixing the problem. I've attached
my patch-in-progress below. Can we get some more eyes on this
problem?
