* ``bzr status`` should show some description of patches that are merged but
21
not yet committed. Preferably in a very compact format so that they
22
just fit on a single line; this could also be used for say ``log

27
* print a message at the end of running the tests telling them tht the
28
test log and output exists but can be removed
30
* tests for running the commit editor, and fix problem of not passing in
33
* Merging add of a new file clashing with an existing file doesn't
34
work; add gets an error that it's already versioned and the merge
37
* Merge should ignore the destination's working directory, otherwise
38
we get an error about the statcache when pulling from a remote
20
41
* Add of a file that was present in the base revision should put back
21
42
the previous file-id.
44
* Not sure I'm happy with needing to pass a root id to EmptyTree;
45
comparing anything against an EmptyTree with no root should have the
23
48
* Handle diff of files which do not have a trailing newline; probably
24
49
requires patching difflib to get it exactly right, or otherwise
25
50
calling out to GNU diff.
27
* Import ElementTree update patch.
29
* Plugins that provide commands. By just installing a file into some
30
directory (e.g. ``/usr/share/bzr/plugins``) it should be possible to
31
create new top-level commands (``bzr frob``). Extensions can be
32
written in either Python (in which case they use the bzrlib API) or
33
in a separate process (in sh, C, whatever). It should be possible
34
to get help for plugin commands.
36
* Smart rewrap text in help messages to fit in $COLUMNS (or equivalent
52
* Should be able to copy files between branches to preserve their
53
file-id (and perhaps eventually parentage.)
39
55
* -r option should take a revision-id as well as a revno.
41
* ``bzr info`` could show space used by working tree, versioned files,
42
unknown and ignored files.
57
* allow ``bzr st -r 300`` to show a summary of changes since then.
44
59
* ``bzr info`` should count only people with distinct email addresses as
45
60
different committers. (Or perhaps only distinct userids?)
104
119
* Statcache should possibly map all file paths to / separators
121
* quotefn doubles all backslashes on Windows; this is probably not the
122
best thing to do. What would be a better way to safely represent
123
filenames? Perhaps we could doublequote things containing spaces,
124
on the principle that filenames containing quotes are unlikely?
125
Nice for humans; less good for machine parsing.
127
* Patches should probably use only forward slashes, even on Windows,
128
otherwise Unix patch can't apply them. (?)
130
* Branch.update_revisions() inefficiently fetches revisions from the
131
remote server twice; once to find out what text and inventory they
132
need and then again to actually get the thing. This is a bit
135
One complicating factor here is that we don't really want to have
136
revisions present in the revision-store until all their constituent
137
parts are also stored.
139
The basic problem is that RemoteBranch.get_revision() and similar
140
methods return object, but what we really want is the raw XML, which
141
can be popped into our own store. That needs to be refactored.
143
* ``bzr status FOO`` where foo is ignored should say so.
145
* ``bzr mkdir A...`` should just create and add A.
147
* Guard against repeatedly merging any particular patch.
149
* More options for diff:
151
- diff two revisions of the same tree
153
- diff two different branches, optionally at different revisions
155
- diff a particular file in another tree against the corresponding
156
version in this tree (which should be the default if the second
157
parameter is a tree root)
159
- diff everything under a particular directory, in any of the above
162
- diff two files inside the same tree, even if they have different
165
- and, of course, tests for all this
167
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments should probably be the same as ``bzr add .``
169
* Reproducible performance benchmark to measure whether performance is
170
getting better or worse.
172
* ``bzr log -m foo`` should perhaps error if nothing matches?
174
* ``bzr diff -r 30 -r 40 foo.c`` or ``bzr diff -r30..40 foo.c``
176
If diffing between two branches then we probably want two -r
177
options, since the revisions don't form a range that can be
178
evaluated on either one.
180
* bzr diff shouldn't diff binary files
182
* setup.py install when run from a bzr tree should freeze the tree
183
revision-id into the installed bzr.
185
* bzr script should trap ImportError and perhaps give a better error
188
* revert after a merge should possibly remove all the BASE/THIS/OTHER
189
files to get you back to where you were.
191
* files that are added and then deleted are still reported as added
193
* stores should raise KeyError, not IndexError
195
* merging from a remote branch seems to sometimes raise errors not
198
* should be possible to give a related branch when pulling from a
199
remote branch to make things faster
201
* sometimes gives "conflicting add" even when the contents are in fact
110
* Merge revert patch.
112
* ``bzr mv`` that does either rename or move as in Unix.
208
* merge should add all revision and inventory XML to the local store.
210
* check should give a warning for revisions that are named in the
211
chain but not actually present in the store.
213
* remove anything outside of the branch implementation that directly
114
216
* More efficient diff of only selected files. We should be able to
115
217
just get the id for the selected files, look up their location and
275
375
* Function to list a directory, saying in which revision each file was
276
376
last modified. Useful for web and gui interfaces, and slow to
277
377
compute one file at a time.
279
* unittest is standard, but the results are kind of ugly; would be
280
nice to make it cleaner.
379
This will be done when we track file texts by referring to the
380
version that created them.
382
* Check locking is correct during merge-related operations.
384
* Perhaps attempts to get locks should timeout after some period of
385
time, or at least display a progress message.
387
* Split out upgrade functionality from check command into a separate
390
* Don't pass around command classes but rather pass objects. This'd
391
make it cleaner to construct objects wrapping external commands.
393
* Track all merged-in revisions in a versioned add-only metafile.
395
* ``pull --clobber`` should discard any local changes not present
396
remotely. Not generally what you want, but possibly useful when
397
you're just mirroring another branch and want to keep tracking it
398
even when they e.g. uncommit or make similar non-forward movements.
399
Also for push I suppose. Clobber may not be the best name, maybe
402
* ``uncommit`` command that removes a revision from the end of the
403
revision-history; just doing this is enough to remove the commit,
404
and a new commit will automatically be made against the
405
predecessor. This can be repeated.
407
It only makes sense to delete from the tail of history, not from the
410
The revision, its inventory and texts remain floating in the store.
411
We should perhaps add the revision to a list of removed-commits, so
412
that it can be restored or at least accounted for when checking
413
consistency. This file would not be versioned, and probably should
414
not propagate when branched.
416
If we track merged revisions then we need to update this list too.
417
If the list is stored in a weave it's easy (implicit): the version
418
of the list can remain but it won't be referenced anymore. It's
419
probably best to just store this list in a weave in the first place
added
removed
