64
* ``bzr status DIR`` should give status on all files under that
67
* ``bzr log DIR`` should give changes to any files within DIR.
69
67
* Check all commands have decent help.
71
69
* ``bzr inventory -r REV`` and perhaps unify this with ``bzr ls``,
72
70
giving options to display ids, types, etc.
72
* Atomic file class that renames into place when it's closed.
74
* Don't abort if ``~/.bzr.log`` can't be used.
74
76
* Split BzrError into various more specific subclasses for different
75
77
errors people might want to catch.

83
* RemoteBranch could maintain a cache either in memory or on disk. We
84
know more than an external cache might about which files are
85
immutable and which can vary. On the other hand, it's much simpler
86
to just use an external proxy cache.
88
Perhaps ~/.bzr/http-cache. Baz has a fairly simple cache under
89
~/.arch-cache, containing revision information encoded almost as a
90
bunch of archives. Perhaps we could simply store full paths.
92
* Maybe also store directories in the statcache so that we can quickly
93
identify that they still exist.
95
* Diff should show timestamps; for files from the working directory we
96
can use the file itself; for files from a revision we should use the
97
commit time of the revision.
99
* Perhaps split command infrastructure from the actual command
102
* Cleaner support for negative boolean options like --no-recurse.
85
* testbzr should by default test the bzr binary in the same directory
86
as the testbzr script, or take a path to it as a first parameter.
88
Should show the version from bzr and the path name.
93
* Display command grammar in help messages rather than hardcoding it.
95
* Change command functions into Command() objects, like in hct, and
96
then the grammar can be described directly in there. Since all
97
option definitions are global we can define them just once and
98
reference them from each command.
100
* Selective commit of only some files.
102
* Faster diff/status.
104
Status should be handled differently because it needs to report on
105
deleted and unknown files. diff only needs to deal with versioned
108
* Merge Aaron's merge code.
108
110
* Merge revert patch.
112
* Turn on stat cache code, and add optimization about avoiding
113
dangerous cache entries.
110
115
* ``bzr mv`` that does either rename or move as in Unix.
112
* More efficient diff of only selected files. We should be able to
113
just get the id for the selected files, look up their location and
114
diff just those files. No need to traverse the entire inventories.
116
* ``bzr status DIR`` or ``bzr diff DIR`` should report on all changes
117
under that directory.
117
* More efficient diff of only selected files.
119
119
* Fix up Inventory objects to represent root object as an entry.
121
* Don't convert entire entry from ElementTree to an object when it is
122
read in, but rather wait until the program actually wants to know
121
* Don't convert entire entry from
125
123
* Extract changes from one revision to the next to a text form
126
124
suitable for transmission over email.
128
126
* More test cases.
130
- Selected-file commit
132
- Impossible selected-file commit: adding things in non-versioned
133
directories, crossing renames, etc.
135
128
* Write a reproducible benchmark, perhaps importing various kernel versions.
130
* Change test.sh from Bourne shell into something in pure Python so
131
that it can be more portable.
137
133
* Directly import diffs! It seems a bit redundant to need to rescan
138
134
the directory to work out what files diff added/deleted/changed when
139
135
all the information is there in the diff in the first place.
238
234
was last changed, as well as its current state? This is a bit
239
235
redundant but might often be interested to know.
241
* stat cache should perhaps only stat files as necessary, rather than
242
doing them all up-front. On the other hand, that disallows the
243
opimization of stating them in inode order.
245
* It'd be nice to pipeline multiple HTTP requests. Often we can
246
predict what will be wanted in future: all revisions, or all texts
247
in a particular revision, etc.
249
urlgrabber's docs say they are working on batched downloads; we
250
could perhaps ride on that or just create a background thread (ew).
252
* Paranoid mode where we never trust SHA-1 matches.
254
* Don't commit if there are no changes unless forced.
256
* --dry-run mode for commit? (Or maybe just run with
257
check-command=false?)
259
* Generally, be a bit more verbose unless --silent is specified.
261
* Function that finds all changes to files under a given directory;
262
perhaps log should use this if a directory is given.
264
* XML attributes might have trouble with filenames containing \n and
265
\r. Do we really want to support this? I think perhaps not.
267
* Remember execute bits, so that exports will work OK.
269
* Unify smart_add and plain Branch.add(); perhaps smart_add should
270
just build a list of files to add and pass that to the regular add
305
269
files, and respecting selective commits. Run the pre-commit check
306
270
(e.g. compile and run test suite) in there.
308
Possibly this should be done by splitting the commit function into
309
several parts (under a single interface). It is already rather
310
large. Decomposition:
312
- find tree modifications and prepare in-memory inventory
314
- export that inventory to a temporary directory
316
- run the test in that temporary directory
318
- if that succeeded, continue to actually finish the commit
320
What should be done with the text of modified files while this is
321
underway? I don't think we want to count on holding them in memory
322
and we can't trust the working files to stay in one place so I
323
suppose we need to move them into the text store, or otherwise into
324
a temporary directory.
326
If the commit does not actually complete, we would rather the
327
content was not left behind in the stores.

* GUI (maybe in Python GTK+?)
