Subject: [PATCH] resend: really plug memory leaks in git-svnimport

From: Stefan Sperling <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 12:57:40 +0200

Junio asked me to resend this patch to the mailing list.

This version of the patch is adjusted to apply cleanly
to current HEAD.

@Junio: I'm not resending the multiple branch/tag dirs patch
just yet, because I want to polish it first -- I've got another
idea how to improve it.

Log message:

Fix pool handling in git-svnimport to avoid memory leaks.

- Create an explicit one-and-only root pool.
- Closely follow examples in SVN::Core man page.
  Before calling a subversion function, create a subpool of our
  root pool and make it the new default pool. 
- Create a subpool for looping over svn revisions and clear
  this subpool (i.e. it mark for reuse, don't decallocate it)
  at the start of the loop instead of allocating new memory
  with each iteration.

See http://marc.info/?l=git&m=118554191513822&w=2 for a detailed
explanation of the issue.
