[PATCH 1/3] remote-testsvn.c: Avoid the getline() GNU extension function

The getline() function is a GNU extension (you need to define _GNU_SOURCE before including stdio.h) and is, therefore, not portable. In particular, getline() is not available on MinGW.

In order to support non-GNU systems, we replace the call to getline() with (almost) equivalent code using strbuf_getline(). Note that, unlike getline(), strbuf_getline() removes the newline terminator from the returned string. This difference in semantics does not matter at this call-site. Also, we note that the original code was leaking the memory allocated to 'line' by getline().

Hi Florian,

Could you please squash this into commit 0320cef0 ("remote-svn: add marks-file regeneration", 22-08-2012).

ATB, Ramsay Jones
