Small things
6
------------
7
8
* Add of a file that was present in the base revision should put back
9
  the previous file-id.
10
11
* Handle diff of files which do not have a trailing newline; probably
12
  requires patching difflib to get it exactly right, or otherwise
13
  calling out to GNU diff.
14
15
* Import ElementTree update patch.

Medium things
20
-------------
21
22
* Faster diff/status.  
23
24
  Status should be handled differently because it needs to report on
25
  deleted and unknown files.  diff only needs to deal with versioned
26
  files.
27
28
* Merge Aaron's merge code.
29
30
* Merge revert patch.
31
32
* Turn on stat cache code, and add optimization about avoiding
33
  dangerous cache entries.
34
35
* mv command?
36
37
* More efficient diff of only selected files.
38
39
* Fix up Inventory objects to represent root object as an entry.
40
41
* Don't convert entire entry from 
42
43
* Extract changes from one revision to the next to a text form
44
  suitable for transmission over email.
45
46
* More test cases.
47
48
* Write a reproducible benchmark, perhaps importing various kernel versions.
49
50
* Change test.sh from Bourne shell into something in pure Python so
51
  that it can be more portable.
52
53
* Directly import diffs!  It seems a bit redundant to need to rescan
54
  the directory to work out what files diff added/deleted/changed when
55
  all the information is there in the diff in the first place.
56
  Getting the exact behaviour for added/deleted subdirectories etc
57
  might be hard.
58
59
  At the very least we could run diffstat over the diff, or perhaps
60
  read the status output from patch.  Just knowing which files might
61
  be modified would be enough to guide the add and commit.
62
  
63
  Given this we might be able to import patches at 1/second or better.
64
65
* Get branch over http.
66
67
* Pull pure updates over http.
68
69
* revfile compression.
70
71
* Split inventory into per-directory files.

73
* Fix ignore file parsing:
74
75
  - fnmatch is not the same as unix patterns
76
77
  - perhaps add extended globs from rsh/rsync
78
79
  - perhaps a pattern that matches only directories or non-directories
80
81
* Expansion of $Id$ tags within working files.  Perhaps do this in
82
  exports first as a simpler case because then we don't need to deal
83
  with removing the tags on the way back in.
