Please fix up the Git cases in VCSUtils::svn{InfoForPath, RevisionForDirectory}() to use "git -C" instead of changing directories before invoking git before landing this change.

> Tools/ChangeLog:3
> +        Use the git -C flag where appropriate to avoid changing directories.

This line should be the bug title. The bug description should be below the "Reviewed by" line.

> Tools/Scripts/VCSUtils.pm:226
> +    return system("git -C $dir rev-parse > " . File::Spec->devnull() . " 2>&1") == 0;

We should put surround the value of $dir in single quotes so as to support paths that contain spaces. I also do not see the need to abbreviate the word directory to dir. I suggest we take this opportunity to rename the local variable to $directory.

> Tools/Scripts/VCSUtils.pm:244
> +    my $output = `git -C $directory config --get svn-remote.svn.fetch 2>& 1`;

This change breaks this code when $directory contains a space character(s) since this form of system() will invoke the specified string using the shell and the shell will interpret a space character as the delimiter between command line arguments. One way to fix this is to surround $directory in single quotes.

I know you didn't add the "2>& 1" to this code. I would fix this to read "2>&1" (remove the space character before the 1). This makes the formatting of this expression consistent with the formatting we use in other functions in this Perl module, including isGitDirectory().

Is there a reason that you did not address my first remark in comment #3 about fixing up VCSUtils::svn{InfoForPath, RevisionForDirectory}()?

> Tools/ChangeLog:10

Please add an empty line under this line.

Missed it! Will send out a Take 3

I think commit-queue had trouble given the DNS problem yesterday. Setting 'commit-queue ?' once more.
