20
* ``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

* print a message at the end of running the tests telling them that 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

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

different committers. (Or perhaps only distinct userids?)
83

temporary directory and then tar that up.)

87
* testbzr should by default test the bzr binary in the same directory
88
as the testbzr script, or take a path to it as a first parameter.
90
Should show the version from bzr and the path name.
92
98
* RemoteBranch could maintain a cache either in memory or on disk. We
93
99
know more than an external cache might about which files are
94
100
immutable and which can vary. On the other hand, it's much simpler
95
101
to just use an external proxy cache.
103
Perhaps ~/.bzr/http-cache. Baz has a fairly simple cache under
104
~/.arch-cache, containing revision information encoded almost as a
105
bunch of archives. Perhaps we could simply store full paths.
97
107
* Maybe also store directories in the statcache so that we can quickly
98
108
identify that they still exist.
110
* Diff should show timestamps; for files from the working directory we
111
can use the file itself; for files from a revision we should use the
112
commit time of the revision.
114
* Perhaps split command infrastructure from the actual command
117
* Cleaner support for negative boolean options like --no-recurse.
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
204
* BZRDIR should be in branch.py not __init__.py.
206
* ``status `` should accept a -r option to show changes relative to a revision,
104
* Change command functions into Command() objects, like in hct, and
105
then the grammar can be described directly in there. Since all
106
option definitions are global we can define them just once and
107
reference them from each command.
109
* Selective commit of only some files.
111
* Merge Aaron's merge code.
113
* Merge revert patch.
115
* ``bzr mv`` that does either rename or move as in Unix.
212
* ~/.bzr.log is not written anymore for some reason.
214
* merge should add all revision and inventory XML to the local store.
216
* check should give a warning for revisions that are named in the
217
chain but not actually present in the store.
219
* remove anything outside of the branch implementation that directly
117
222
* More efficient diff of only selected files. We should be able to
118
223
just get the id for the selected files, look up their location and
124
229
* Fix up Inventory objects to represent root object as an entry.
126
* Don't convert entire entry from
231
* Don't convert entire entry from ElementTree to an object when it is
232
read in, but rather wait until the program actually wants to know
128
235
* Extract changes from one revision to the next to a text form
129
236
suitable for transmission over email.
131
238
* More test cases.
240
- ``missing`` command
242
- Selected-file commit
244
- Impossible selected-file commit: adding things in non-versioned
245
directories, crossing renames, etc.
133
247
* Write a reproducible benchmark, perhaps importing various kernel versions.
135
* Change test.sh from Bourne shell into something in pure Python so
136
that it can be more portable.
138
249
* Directly import diffs! It seems a bit redundant to need to rescan
139
250
the directory to work out what files diff added/deleted/changed when
140
251
all the information is there in the diff in the first place.
246
353
* It'd be nice to pipeline multiple HTTP requests. Often we can
247
354
predict what will be wanted in future: all revisions, or all texts
248
in a particular revision, etc.
355
in a particular revision, etc.
250
357
urlgrabber's docs say they are working on batched downloads; we
251
358
could perhaps ride on that or just create a background thread (ew).
253
* Should be a signature at the top of the cache file.
255
360
* Paranoid mode where we never trust SHA-1 matches.
362
* Don't commit if there are no changes unless forced.
364
* --dry-run mode for commit? (Or maybe just run with
365
check-command=false?)
367
* Generally, be a bit more verbose unless --silent is specified.
369
* Function that finds all changes to files under a given directory;
370
perhaps log should use this if a directory is given.
372
* XML attributes might have trouble with filenames containing \n and
373
\r. Do we really want to support this? I think perhaps not.
375
* Remember execute bits, so that exports will work OK.
377
* Unify smart_add and plain Branch.add(); perhaps smart_add should
378
just build a list of files to add and pass that to the regular add
381
* Function to list a directory, saying in which revision each file was
382
last modified. Useful for web and gui interfaces, and slow to
383
compute one file at a time.
385
This will be done when we track file texts by referring to the
386
version that created them.
388
* Check locking is correct during merge-related operations.
390
* Perhaps attempts to get locks should timeout after some period of
391
time, or at least display a progress message.
393
* Split out upgrade functionality from check command into a separate
396
* Don't pass around command classes but rather pass objects. This'd
397
make it cleaner to construct objects wrapping external commands.
399
* Track all merged-in revisions in a versioned add-only metafile.
401
* ``pull --clobber`` should discard any local changes not present
402
remotely. Not generally what you want, but possibly useful when
403
you're just mirroring another branch and want to keep tracking it
404
even when they e.g. uncommit or make similar non-forward movements.
405
Also for push I suppose. Clobber may not be the best name, maybe
408
* ``uncommit`` command that removes a revision from the end of the
409
revision-history; just doing this is enough to remove the commit,
410
and a new commit will automatically be made against the
411
predecessor. This can be repeated.
413
It only makes sense to delete from the tail of history, not from the
416
The revision, its inventory and texts remain floating in the store.
417
We should perhaps add the revision to a list of removed-commits, so
418
that it can be restored or at least accounted for when checking
419
consistency. This file would not be versioned, and probably should
420
not propagate when branched.
422
If we track merged revisions then we need to update this list too.
423
If the list is stored in a weave it's easy (implicit): the version
424
of the list can remain but it won't be referenced anymore. It's
425
probably best to just store this list in a weave in the first place
289
460
files, and respecting selective commits. Run the pre-commit check
290
461
(e.g. compile and run test suite) in there.
463
Possibly this should be done by splitting the commit function into
464
several parts (under a single interface). It is already rather
465
large. Decomposition:
467
- find tree modifications and prepare in-memory inventory
469
- export that inventory to a temporary directory
471
- run the test in that temporary directory
473
- if that succeeded, continue to actually finish the commit
475
What should be done with the text of modified files while this is
476
underway? I don't think we want to count on holding them in memory
477
and we can't trust the working files to stay in one place so I
478
suppose we need to move them into the text store, or otherwise into
479
a temporary directory.
481
If the commit does not actually complete, we would rather the
482
content was not left behind in the stores.
