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

27
* Fix tests so that import errors caused by modules don't produce false reports
28
that the tests themselves don't exist.
30
* Fix tests so that one test failure doesn't prevent other tests from running
32
* print a message at the end of running the tests telling them that the
33
test log and output exists but can be removed
35
* tests for running the commit editor, and fix problem of not passing in
38
* Merging add of a new file clashing with an existing file doesn't
39
work; add gets an error that it's already versioned and the merge
42
* Merge should ignore the destination's working directory, otherwise
43
we get an error about the statcache when pulling from a remote
46
20
* Add of a file that was present in the base revision should put back
47
21
the previous file-id.
49
* Not sure I'm happy with needing to pass a root id to EmptyTree;
50
comparing anything against an EmptyTree with no root should have the
53
23
* Handle diff of files which do not have a trailing newline; probably
54
24
requires patching difflib to get it exactly right, or otherwise
55
25
calling out to GNU diff.
57
* Should be able to copy files between branches to preserve their
58
file-id (and perhaps eventually parentage.)
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
60
39
* -r option should take a revision-id as well as a revno.
62
* allow ``bzr st -r 300`` to show a summary of changes since then.
41
* ``bzr info`` could show space used by working tree, versioned files,
42
unknown and ignored files.
64
44
* ``bzr info`` should count only people with distinct email addresses as
65
45
different committers. (Or perhaps only distinct userids?)
99
81
temporary directory and then tar that up.)

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.
103
90
* RemoteBranch could maintain a cache either in memory or on disk. We
104
91
know more than an external cache might about which files are
105
92
immutable and which can vary. On the other hand, it's much simpler
106
93
to just use an external proxy cache.
108
Perhaps ~/.bzr/http-cache. Baz has a fairly simple cache under
109
~/.arch-cache, containing revision information encoded almost as a
110
bunch of archives. Perhaps we could simply store full paths.
112
* Maybe also store directories in the statcache so that we can quickly
113
identify that they still exist.
115
* Diff should show timestamps; for files from the working directory we
116
can use the file itself; for files from a revision we should use the
117
commit time of the revision.
119
* Perhaps split command infrastructure from the actual command
122
* Cleaner support for negative boolean options like --no-recurse.
124
* Statcache should possibly map all file paths to / separators
126
* quotefn doubles all backslashes on Windows; this is probably not the
127
best thing to do. What would be a better way to safely represent
128
filenames? Perhaps we could doublequote things containing spaces,
129
on the principle that filenames containing quotes are unlikely?
130
Nice for humans; less good for machine parsing.
132
* Patches should probably use only forward slashes, even on Windows,
133
otherwise Unix patch can't apply them. (?)
135
* Branch.update_revisions() inefficiently fetches revisions from the
136
remote server twice; once to find out what text and inventory they
137
need and then again to actually get the thing. This is a bit
140
One complicating factor here is that we don't really want to have
141
revisions present in the revision-store until all their constituent
142
parts are also stored.
144
The basic problem is that RemoteBranch.get_revision() and similar
145
methods return object, but what we really want is the raw XML, which
146
can be popped into our own store. That needs to be refactored.
148
* ``bzr status FOO`` where foo is ignored should say so.
150
* ``bzr mkdir A...`` should just create and add A.
152
* Guard against repeatedly merging any particular patch.
154
* More options for diff:
156
- diff two revisions of the same tree
158
- diff two different branches, optionally at different revisions
160
- diff a particular file in another tree against the corresponding
161
version in this tree (which should be the default if the second
162
parameter is a tree root)
164
- diff everything under a particular directory, in any of the above
167
- diff two files inside the same tree, even if they have different
170
- and, of course, tests for all this
172
* Reproducible performance benchmark to measure whether performance is
173
getting better or worse.
175
* ``bzr log -m foo`` should perhaps error if nothing matches?
177
* ``bzr diff -r 30 -r 40 foo.c`` or ``bzr diff -r30..40 foo.c``
179
If diffing between two branches then we probably want two -r
180
options, since the revisions don't form a range that can be
181
evaluated on either one.
183
* bzr diff shouldn't diff binary files
185
* setup.py install when run from a bzr tree should freeze the tree
186
revision-id into the installed bzr.
188
* bzr script should trap ImportError and perhaps give a better error
191
* revert after a merge should possibly remove all the BASE/THIS/OTHER
192
files to get you back to where you were.
194
* files that are added and then deleted are still reported as added
196
* stores should raise KeyError, not IndexError
198
* merging from a remote branch seems to sometimes raise errors not
201
* should be possible to give a related branch when pulling from a
202
remote branch to make things faster
204
* sometimes gives "conflicting add" even when the contents are in fact
207
* BZRDIR should be in branch.py not __init__.py.
209
* ``status `` should accept a -r option to show changes relative to a revision,
215
* ~/.bzr.log is not written anymore for some reason.
217
* merge should add all revision and inventory XML to the local store.
219
* check should give a warning for revisions that are named in the
220
chain but not actually present in the store.
222
* remove anything outside of the branch implementation that directly
99
* Change command functions into Command() objects, like in hct, and
100
then the grammar can be described directly in there. Since all
101
option definitions are global we can define them just once and
102
reference them from each command.
104
* Selective commit of only some files.
106
* Merge Aaron's merge code.
108
* Merge revert patch.
110
* ``bzr mv`` that does either rename or move as in Unix.
225
112
* More efficient diff of only selected files. We should be able to
226
113
just get the id for the selected files, look up their location and
227
114
diff just those files. No need to traverse the entire inventories.
229
* ``bzr status DIR`` or ``bzr diff DIR`` should report on all changes
230
under that directory.
232
116
* Fix up Inventory objects to represent root object as an entry.
234
* Don't convert entire entry from ElementTree to an object when it is
235
read in, but rather wait until the program actually wants to know
118
* Don't convert entire entry from
238
120
* Extract changes from one revision to the next to a text form
239
121
suitable for transmission over email.
241
123
* More test cases.
243
- ``missing`` command
245
- Selected-file commit
247
- Impossible selected-file commit: adding things in non-versioned
248
directories, crossing renames, etc.
250
125
* Write a reproducible benchmark, perhaps importing various kernel versions.
127
* Change test.sh from Bourne shell into something in pure Python so
128
that it can be more portable.
252
130
* Directly import diffs! It seems a bit redundant to need to rescan
253
131
the directory to work out what files diff added/deleted/changed when
254
132
all the information is there in the diff in the first place.
356
238
* It'd be nice to pipeline multiple HTTP requests. Often we can
357
239
predict what will be wanted in future: all revisions, or all texts
358
in a particular revision, etc.
240
in a particular revision, etc.
360
242
urlgrabber's docs say they are working on batched downloads; we
361
243
could perhaps ride on that or just create a background thread (ew).
245
* Should be a signature at the top of the cache file.
363
247
* Paranoid mode where we never trust SHA-1 matches.
365
* Don't commit if there are no changes unless forced.
367
* --dry-run mode for commit? (Or maybe just run with
368
check-command=false?)
370
* Generally, be a bit more verbose unless --silent is specified.
372
* Function that finds all changes to files under a given directory;
373
perhaps log should use this if a directory is given.
375
* XML attributes might have trouble with filenames containing \n and
376
\r. Do we really want to support this? I think perhaps not.
378
* Remember execute bits, so that exports will work OK.
380
* Unify smart_add and plain Branch.add(); perhaps smart_add should
381
just build a list of files to add and pass that to the regular add
384
* Function to list a directory, saying in which revision each file was
385
last modified. Useful for web and gui interfaces, and slow to
386
compute one file at a time.
388
This will be done when we track file texts by referring to the
389
version that created them.
391
* Check locking is correct during merge-related operations.
393
* Perhaps attempts to get locks should timeout after some period of
394
time, or at least display a progress message.
396
* Split out upgrade functionality from check command into a separate
399
* Don't pass around command classes but rather pass objects. This'd
400
make it cleaner to construct objects wrapping external commands.
402
* Track all merged-in revisions in a versioned add-only metafile.
404
* ``pull --clobber`` should discard any local changes not present
405
remotely. Not generally what you want, but possibly useful when
406
you're just mirroring another branch and want to keep tracking it
407
even when they e.g. uncommit or make similar non-forward movements.
408
Also for push I suppose. Clobber may not be the best name, maybe
411
* ``uncommit`` command that removes a revision from the end of the
412
revision-history; just doing this is enough to remove the commit,
413
and a new commit will automatically be made against the
414
predecessor. This can be repeated.
416
It only makes sense to delete from the tail of history, not from the
419
The revision, its inventory and texts remain floating in the store.
420
We should perhaps add the revision to a list of removed-commits, so
421
that it can be restored or at least accounted for when checking
422
consistency. This file would not be versioned, and probably should
423
not propagate when branched.
425
If we track merged revisions then we need to update this list too.
426
If the list is stored in a weave it's easy (implicit): the version
427
of the list can remain but it won't be referenced anymore. It's
428
probably best to just store this list in a weave in the first place
added
removed
