[PATCH] git-svn: Destroy the cache when we fail to read it

From
Jason Gross <jgross@mit.edu>
Date
Aug 22, 2011, 02:17 UTC
Message-ID
<1313979422-21286-1-git-send-email-jgross@mit.edu>

Previously, we would fail fatally when trying to fetch changes with mergeinfo on a 32 bit machine, when the repository previously had fetched changes with mergeinfo on a 64 bit machine.

This fixes bug 618875 (which is also 587650, 635097). Much of the code was written by Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> with suggestions from Steffen Mueller <smueller@cpan.org> (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2011/05/msg00023.html and http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2011/05/msg00026.html).
