svnmeta: do not add instance references to the class object
This is part of a bigger plan to prevent a fd leak by making sure the sqlite
connection object is garbage collected.
Usually this is not a very serious issue but the testing framework will run
all tests in a single process by default. The fd leak will make tests fail
on systems with a low RLIMIT_NOFILE.
Previously, when we are adding new properties to the SVNMeta class, we bind
the current instance in the closure, which essentially prevents any SVNMeta
instances from being garbage collected (and its state like revmap). This
patch changed "self" from the closure one to the lambda argument to address
the issue.

.. -*-restructuredtext-*- ============ hgsubversion ============ hgsubversion is an extension for Mercurial that allows using Mercurial as a Subversion client. At this point, hgsubversion is usable by users reasonably familiar with Mercurial as a VCS. It's not recommended to dive into hgsubversion as an introduction to Mercurial, since hgsubversion "bends the rules" a little and violates some of the typical assumptions of early Mercurial users. Installation ------------ You need to have either have Subversion 1.5 (or later) installed along with either Subvertpy 0.7.4 (or later) or the Subversion SWIG Python bindings. You need Mercurial 2.0 or later. .. _mercurial: http://selenic.com/repo/hg .. _mercurial-stable: http://selenic.com/repo/hg-stable .. _crew: http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew .. _crew-stable: http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew-stable If you are unfamiliar with installing Mercurial extensions, please see the UsingExtensions_ page in the Mercurial wiki. Look at the example for specifying an absolute path near the bottom of the page. You want to give the path to the top level of your clone of this repository. .. _UsingExtensions: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/UsingExtensions Before using hgsubversion, I *strongly* encourage you to run the automated tests. Just use nose_ if you have it (or ``easy_install nose`` if you want it), or use ``python tests/run.py`` to run the suite with the conventional test runner. Note that because I use nose, there's a lot of stdout spew in the tests right now. The important part is that all the tests pass. .. _nose: http://code.google.com/p/python-nose/ You can check that hgsubversion is installed and properly activated using the following command:: $ hg version --svn Mercurial Distributed SCM (version ...)
