Create the ra-git branch: git repository access for Subversion
This allows Subversion clients to interact with git repositories,
paving the way towards better integration of both systems.
This code originated in a private git repository maintained by me and Carlos.
Due to popular demand we're now moving development of this library to
svn.apache.org. Since the Subversion project has finally been convinced
that git has the better backend[1], we hope to accelerate development of
the git repository access layer by joining forces on this project with
the other SVN and libgit2 developers.
[1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-7524
We hope to get libsvn_ra_git production ready in time for Subversion 1.9.0.
The long-term intention is that git will become the default repository
backend for Subversion 1.10 and later, lifting much of the burden of
backend development off the SVN team. BDB has already been deprecated in
1.8 because of this burden. Development of the FSFS successor FSX has been
slower than anticipated but FSX will stay as an optional backend in case
empirical data demonstrates that it outperforms git in large deployments.
But the default migration path for the current FSFS userbase will be git.
See the BRANCH-README for design and implementation notes and a list
of remaining TODO items.
