Eric Wong	baf5fa8a7f	git-svn: better attempt to handle broken symlink updates This is a followup to `7fc35e0e94`, (workaround a for broken symlinks in SVN). Since broken SVN clients can commit svn:special files without the magic "link " prefix, this can affect delta application when we update the broken svn:special file. So now we fall back and retry the delta application on symlinks if having a "link " prefix fails. Our behavior differs from svn(1) (v1.5.1) slightly: When a svn:special file is created w/o a "link " prefix, svn will create a regular file (mode 100644 to git) with the contents of the blob as-is. Our behavior is to continue creating the symlink (mode 120000 to git) with the contents of the blob as-is. While this differs from current svn(1) behavior, this is easier and more efficient to implement (and the correctness of the svn(1) is debatable, since it's a workaround for a bug in the first place).

git-svn: better attempt to handle broken symlink updates

This is a followup to 7fc35e0e94,
(workaround a for broken symlinks in SVN).

Since broken SVN clients can commit svn:special files without
the magic "link " prefix, this can affect delta application
when we update the broken svn:special file.  So now we fall
back and retry the delta application on symlinks if having
a "link " prefix fails.

Our behavior differs from svn(1) (v1.5.1) slightly:

  When a svn:special file is created w/o a "link " prefix, svn
  will create a regular file (mode 100644 to git) with the
  contents of the blob as-is.

  Our behavior is to continue creating the symlink (mode 120000
  to git) with the contents of the blob as-is.  While this
  differs from current svn(1) behavior, this is easier and more
  efficient to implement (and the correctness of the svn(1) is
  debatable, since it's a workaround for a bug in the first
  place).

git-svn: handle empty files marked as symlinks in SVN

Broken SVN clients generate empty files with the svn:special set
to '*'.  This attempts to denote a symlink pointing to a file
with an empty path (""), which cannot be generated on a POSIX
system.

Thus, we mimic the behavior of svn(1) and create a zero-byte
file in our tree.
