vcs-svn: introduce repo_read_path to check the content at a path
The repo_tree structure remembers, for each path in each revision, a
mode (regular file, executable, symlink, or directory) and content
(blob mark or directory structure). Maintaining a second copy of all
this information when it's already in the target repository is
wasteful, it does not persist between svn-fe invocations, and most
importantly, there is no convenient way to transfer it from one
machine to another. So it would be nice to get rid of it.
As a first step, let's change the repo_tree API to match fast-import's
read commands more closely. Currently to read the mode for a path,
one uses
repo_modify_path(path, new_mode, new_content);
which changes the mode and content as a side effect. There is no
function to read the content at a path; add one.
