+ *
+ * A text delta represents the difference between two strings of
+ * bytes, the `source' string and the `target' string. Given a source
+ * string and a target string, we can compute a text delta; given a
+ * source string and a delta, we can reconstruct the target string.
+ * However, note that deltas are not reversible: you cannot always
+ * reconstruct the source string given the target string and delta.
+ *
+ * Since text deltas can be very large, the interface here allows us
+ * to produce and consume them in pieces. Each piece, represented by
+ * an #svn_txdelta_window_t structure, describes how to produce the
+ * next section of the target string.
+ *
+ * To compute a new text delta:
+ *
+ * - We call svn_txdelta() on the streams we want to compare. That
+ * returns us an #svn_txdelta_stream_t object.
+ *
+ * - We then call svn_txdelta_next_window() on the stream object
+ * repeatedly. Each call returns a new #svn_txdelta_window_t
+ * object, which describes the next portion of the target string.
+ * When svn_txdelta_next_window() returns zero, we are done building
+ * the target string.

+/** Traversing tree deltas.
+ *
+ * In Subversion, we've got various producers and consumers of tree
+ * deltas.
+ *
+ * In processing a `commit' command:
+ * - The client examines its working copy data, and produces a tree
+ * delta describing the changes to be committed.
+ * - The client networking library consumes that delta, and sends them
+ * across the wire as an equivalent series of network requests (for
+ * example, to svnserve as an ra_svn protocol stream, or to an
+ * Apache httpd server as WebDAV commands)
+ * - The server receives those requests and produces a tree delta ---
+ * hopefully equivalent to the one the client produced above.
+ * - The Subversion server module consumes that delta and commits an
+ * appropriate transaction to the filesystem.
+ *
+ * In processing an `update' command, the process is reversed:
+ * - The Subversion server module talks to the filesystem and produces
+ * a tree delta describing the changes necessary to bring the
+ * client's working copy up to date.
+ * - The server consumes this delta, and assembles a reply
+ * representing the appropriate changes.
+ * - The client networking library receives that reply, and produces a
+ * tree delta --- hopefully equivalent to the one the Subversion
+ * server produced above.
+ * - The working copy library consumes that delta, and makes the
+ * appropriate changes to the working copy.
+ *
+ * The simplest approach would be to represent tree deltas using the
+ * obvious data structure. To do an update, the server would
+ * construct a delta structure, and the working copy library would
+ * apply that structure to the working copy; the network layer's job
+ * would simply be to get the structure across the net intact.
+ *
+ * However, we expect that these deltas will occasionally be too large
+ * to fit in a typical workstation's swap area. For example, in
+ * checking out a 200Mb source tree, the entire source tree is
+ * represented by a single tree delta. So it's important to handle
+ * deltas that are too large to fit in swap all at once.
+ *
+ * So instead of representing the tree delta explicitly, we define a
+ * standard way for a consumer to process each piece of a tree delta
+ * as soon as the producer creates it. The #svn_delta_editor_t
+ * structure is a set of callback functions to be defined by a delta
+ * consumer, and invoked by a delta producer. Each invocation of a
+ * callback function describes a piece of the delta --- a file's
+ * contents changing, something being renamed, etc.
+ *
+ * @defgroup svn_delta_tree_deltas Tree deltas

+/** A structure full of callback functions the delta source will invoke

+ *
+ * @note Don't try to allocate one of these yourself. Instead, always
+ * use svn_delta_default_editor() or some other constructor, to ensure
+ * that unused slots are filled in with no-op functions.
+ *
+ * <h3>Function Usage</h3>
+ *
+ * Here's how to use these functions to express a tree delta.
+ *
+ * The delta consumer implements the callback functions described in
+ * this structure, and the delta producer invokes them. So the
+ * caller (producer) is pushing tree delta data at the callee
+ * (consumer).
+ *
+ * At the start of traversal, the consumer provides @a edit_baton, a
+ * baton global to the entire delta edit. If there is a target
+ * revision that needs to be set for this operation, the producer
+ * should call the @c set_target_revision function at this point.
+ *
+ * Next, if there are any tree deltas to express, the producer should
+ * pass the @a edit_baton to the @c open_root function, to get a baton
+ * representing root of the tree being edited.
+ *
+ * Most of the callbacks work in the obvious way:
+ *
+ * @c delete_entry
+ * @c add_file
+ * @c add_directory
+ * @c open_file
+ * @c open_directory
+ *
+ * Each of these takes a directory baton, indicating the directory
+ * in which the change takes place, and a @a path argument, giving the
+ * path of the file, subdirectory, or directory entry to change.
+ *
+ * The @a path argument to each of the callbacks is relative to the
+ * root of the edit. Editors will usually want to join this relative
+ * path with some base stored in the edit baton (e.g. a URL, or a
+ * location in the OS filesystem).
+ *
+ * Since every call requires a parent directory baton, including
+ * @c add_directory and @c open_directory, where do we ever get our
+ * initial directory baton, to get things started? The @c open_root
+ * function returns a baton for the top directory of the change. In
+ * general, the producer needs to invoke the editor's @c open_root
+ * function before it can get anything of interest done.
+ *
+ * While @c open_root provides a directory baton for the root of
+ * the tree being changed, the @c add_directory and @c open_directory
+ * callbacks provide batons for other directories. Like the
+ * callbacks above, they take a @a parent_baton and a relative path
+ * @a path, and then return a new baton for the subdirectory being
+ * created / modified --- @a child_baton. The producer can then use
+ * @a child_baton to make further changes in that subdirectory.
+ *
+ * So, if we already have subdirectories named `foo' and `foo/bar',
+ * then the producer can create a new file named `foo/bar/baz.c' by
+ * calling:
+ *
+ * - @c open_root () --- yielding a baton @a root for the top directory
+ *
+ * - @c open_directory (@a root, "foo") --- yielding a baton @a f for `foo'
+ *
+ * - @c open_directory (@a f, "foo/bar") --- yielding a baton @a b for
+ * `foo/bar'
+ *
+ * - @c add_file (@a b, "foo/bar/baz.c")
+ *
+ * When the producer is finished making changes to a directory, it
+ * should call @c close_directory. This lets the consumer do any
+ * necessary cleanup, and free the baton's storage.
+ *
+ * The @c add_file and @c open_file callbacks each return a baton
+ * for the file being created or changed. This baton can then be
+ * passed to @c apply_textdelta to change the file's contents, or
+ * @c change_file_prop to change the file's properties. When the
+ * producer is finished making changes to a file, it should call
+ * @c close_file, to let the consumer clean up and free the baton.
+ *
+ * The @c add_file and @c add_directory functions each take arguments
+ * @a copyfrom_path and @a copyfrom_revision. If @a copyfrom_path is
+ * non-@c NULL, then @a copyfrom_path and @a copyfrom_revision indicate where
+ * the file or directory should be copied from (to create the file
+ * or directory being added). In that case, @a copyfrom_path must be
+ * either a path relative to the root of the edit, or a URI from the
+ * repository being edited. If @a copyfrom_path is @c NULL, then @a
+ * copyfrom_revision must be #SVN_INVALID_REVNUM; it is invalid to
+ * pass a mix of valid and invalid copyfrom arguments.
+ *
+ *
+ * <h3>Function Call Ordering</h3>
+ *
+ * There are six restrictions on the order in which the producer
+ * may use the batons:
+ *
+ * 1. The producer may call @c open_directory, @c add_directory,
+ * @c open_file, @c add_file at most once on any given directory
+ * entry. @c delete_entry may be called at most once on any given
+ * directory entry and may later be followed by @c add_directory or
+ * @c add_file on the same directory entry. @c delete_entry may
+ * not be called on any directory entry after @c open_directory,
+ * @c add_directory, @c open_file or @c add_file has been called on
+ * that directory entry.
+ *
+ * 2. The producer may not close a directory baton until it has
+ * closed all batons for its subdirectories.
+ *
+ * 3. When a producer calls @c open_directory or @c add_directory,
+ * it must specify the most recently opened of the currently open
+ * directory batons. Put another way, the producer cannot have
+ * two sibling directory batons open at the same time.
+ *
+ * 4. A producer must call @c change_dir_prop on a directory either
+ * before opening any of the directory's subdirs or after closing
+ * them, but not in the middle.
+ *
+ * 5. When the producer calls @c open_file or @c add_file, either:
+ *
+ * (a) The producer must follow with any changes to the file
+ * (@c change_file_prop and/or @c apply_textdelta, as applicable),
+ * followed by a @c close_file call, before issuing any other file
+ * or directory calls, or
+ *
+ * (b) The producer must follow with a @c change_file_prop call if
+ * it is applicable, before issuing any other file or directory
+ * calls; later, after all directory batons including the root
+ * have been closed, the producer must issue @c apply_textdelta
+ * and @c close_file calls.
+ *
+ * 6. When the producer calls @c apply_textdelta, it must make all of
+ * the window handler calls (including the @c NULL window at the
+ * end) before issuing any other #svn_delta_editor_t calls.
+ *
+ * So, the producer needs to use directory and file batons as if it
+ * is doing a single depth-first traversal of the tree, with the
+ * exception that the producer may keep file batons open in order to
+ * make @c apply_textdelta calls at the end.
+ *
+ *
+ * <h3>Pool Usage</h3>
+ *
+ * Many editor functions are invoked multiple times, in a sequence
+ * determined by the editor "driver". The driver is responsible for
+ * creating a pool for use on each iteration of the editor function,
+ * and clearing that pool between each iteration. The driver passes
+ * the appropriate pool on each function invocation.
+ *
+ * Based on the requirement of calling the editor functions in a
+ * depth-first style, it is usually customary for the driver to similarly
+ * nest the pools. However, this is only a safety feature to ensure
+ * that pools associated with deeper items are always cleared when the
+ * top-level items are also cleared. The interface does not assume, nor
+ * require, any particular organization of the pools passed to these
+ * functions. In fact, if "postfix deltas" are used for files, the file
+ * pools definitely need to live outside the scope of their parent
+ * directories' pools.
+ *
+ * Note that close_directory can be called *before* a file in that
+ * directory has been closed. That is, the directory's baton is
+ * closed before the file's baton. The implication is that
+ * @c apply_textdelta and @c close_file should not refer to a parent
+ * directory baton UNLESS the editor has taken precautions to
+ * allocate it in a pool of the appropriate lifetime (the @a dir_pool
+ * passed to @c open_directory and @c add_directory definitely does not
+ * have the proper lifetime). In general, it is recommended to simply
+ * avoid keeping a parent directory baton in a file baton.
+ *
+ *
+ * <h3>Errors</h3>
+ *
+ * At least one implementation of the editor interface is
+ * asynchronous; an error from one operation may be detected some
+ * number of operations later. As a result, an editor driver must not
+ * assume that an error from an editing function resulted from the
+ * particular operation being detected. Moreover, once an editing
+ * function (including @c close_edit) returns an error, the edit is
+ * dead; the only further operation which may be called on the editor
+ * is @c abort_edit.
