* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to

output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)

* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.

(Robert Collins)

* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about

the contents. (Robert Collins)

IMPROVEMENTS:

BUG FIXES:

* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed

by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum

cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)

* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer

be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise

inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.

(Robert Collins)

INTERNALS:

* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the

API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
