New Revision: 1327703

URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1327703&view=rev
Log:
Add and use svn_checksum__from_digest_sha1().

This replaces svn_checksum__from_digest() taking a svn_checksum_sha1
argument with a new svn_checksum_t constructor function.

* subversion/include/private/svn_subr_private.h,
* subversion/libsvn_subr/checksum.c
  (svn_checksum__from_digest_sha1):
    New private function.

* subversion/libsvn_fs_base/util/fs_skels.c
  (svn_fs_base__parse_representation_skel):
    Replace
      svn_checksum__from_digest(digest, svn_checksum_sha1, pool);
    with
      svn_checksum__from_digest_sha1(digest, pool);


Shouldn't we be using svn_checksum_serialize() and _deserialize()
rather than raw digests?

(iow, we "shouldn't" need from_digest_sha1)


They don't contain the same bytes.  I wasn't aware of
svn_checksum_serialize() till now, but those prepend a checksum type string
to the hex representation, as these are raw digest bytes.

This work was to get rid of svn_checksum__from_digest(), which is now almost
complete, per the other thread.

Yup, I understood. Sorry that I wasn't clear: I meant in our
serialization code, shouldn't we use the "proper" functions rather
than raw sha1 digests? Is there any way to switch to them at a
higher/semantic level?

I haven't looked at that stuff, but I'm going to guess repositories
now exist with raw sha1 digests. Is there a format type in there? Can
we start writing "csum" and svn_checksum_serialize() into the skel?
And then read raw md5, raw sha1, or a serialized checksum?

I'm not familiar with this part of the code either (not having looked at the svn_skel.h before) but that make sense. The code could look for a raw digest or a $name$ and then use that.

It doesn't look like it would be too hard. Because the skel has a len, if it's equal to APR_SHA1_DIGESTSIZE then you would use the raw digest, otherwise use svn_checksum_deserialize().

Sounds like a 1.8 repository upgrade though, since once you wrote a $sha1$ style string, older Subversion's wouldn't parse it directly.

I won't be taking this on, I've still got a memory lifetime issue I'm debugging and then a svn commit thread pool to write to support 4 commits/sec from remote clients that are consuming all threads from our RPC thread pool and killing readers.
