20
* Fix tests so that import errors caused by modules don't produce false reports
21
that the tests themselves don't exist.
23
* Fix tests so that one test failure doesn't prevent other tests from running
25
* print a message at the end of running the tests telling them that the
26
test log and output exists but can be removed
28
* tests for running the commit editor, and fix problem of not passing in
31
* Merging add of a new file clashing with an existing file doesn't
32
work; add gets an error that it's already versioned and the merge
35
* Merge should ignore the destination's working directory, otherwise
36
we get an error about the statcache when pulling from a remote
39
20
* Add of a file that was present in the base revision should put back
40
21
the previous file-id.
42
* Not sure I'm happy with needing to pass a root id to EmptyTree;
43
comparing anything against an EmptyTree with no root should have the
46
23
* Handle diff of files which do not have a trailing newline; probably
47
24
requires patching difflib to get it exactly right, or otherwise
48
25
calling out to GNU diff.
50
* Should be able to copy files between branches to preserve their
51
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
53
39
* -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.
55
44
* ``bzr info`` should count only people with distinct email addresses as
56
45
different committers. (Or perhaps only distinct userids?)
75
64
* ``bzr status DIR`` should give status on all files under that
78
* ``bzr log DIR`` should give changes to any files within DIR; at the
79
moment it only lists things which modify the specific named file
80
(and not its contents)
67
* ``bzr log DIR`` should give changes to any files within DIR.
69
* Check all commands have decent help.
82
71
* ``bzr inventory -r REV`` and perhaps unify this with ``bzr ls``,
83
72
giving options to display ids, types, etc.
74
* Split BzrError into various more specific subclasses for different
75
errors people might want to catch.
77
* If the export destination ends in '.tar', '.tar.gz', etc then create
78
a tarball instead of a directory. (Need to actually make a
79
temporary directory and then tar that up.)

85
83
* RemoteBranch could maintain a cache either in memory or on disk. We
86
84
know more than an external cache might about which files are
87
85
immutable and which can vary. On the other hand, it's much simpler
112
110
Nice for humans; less good for machine parsing.
114
112
* Patches should probably use only forward slashes, even on Windows,
115
otherwise Unix patch can't apply them. (?)
117
* Branch.update_revisions() inefficiently fetches revisions from the
118
remote server twice; once to find out what text and inventory they
119
need and then again to actually get the thing. This is a bit
122
One complicating factor here is that we don't really want to have
123
revisions present in the revision-store until all their constituent
124
parts are also stored.
126
The basic problem is that RemoteBranch.get_revision() and similar
127
methods return object, but what we really want is the raw XML, which
128
can be popped into our own store. That needs to be refactored.
130
* Guard against repeatedly merging any particular patch.
132
* More options for diff:
134
- diff two revisions of the same tree
136
- diff two different branches, optionally at different revisions
138
- diff a particular file in another tree against the corresponding
139
version in this tree (which should be the default if the second
140
parameter is a tree root)
142
- diff everything under a particular directory, in any of the above
145
- diff two files inside the same tree, even if they have different
148
- and, of course, tests for all this
150
* Reproducible performance benchmark to measure whether performance is
151
getting better or worse.
153
* ``bzr log -m foo`` should perhaps error if nothing matches?
155
* ``bzr diff -r 30 -r 40 foo.c`` or ``bzr diff -r30..40 foo.c``
157
If diffing between two branches then we probably want two -r
158
options, since the revisions don't form a range that can be
159
evaluated on either one.
161
* bzr diff shouldn't diff binary files
163
* setup.py install when run from a bzr tree should freeze the tree
164
revision-id into the installed bzr.
166
* bzr script should trap ImportError and perhaps give a better error
169
* revert after a merge should possibly remove all the BASE/THIS/OTHER
170
files to get you back to where you were.
172
* files that are added and then deleted are still reported as added
174
* stores should raise KeyError, not IndexError
176
* merging from a remote branch seems to sometimes raise errors not
179
* should be possible to give a related branch when pulling from a
180
remote branch to make things faster
182
* sometimes gives "conflicting add" even when the contents are in fact
185
* BZRDIR should be in branch.py not __init__.py.
113
otherwise Unix patch can't apply them. (?)
190
* merge should add all revision and inventory XML to the local store.
192
* check should give a warning for revisions that are named in the
193
chain but not actually present in the store.
195
* remove anything outside of the branch implementation that directly
119
* Merge revert patch.
121
* ``bzr mv`` that does either rename or move as in Unix.
198
123
* More efficient diff of only selected files. We should be able to
199
124
just get the id for the selected files, look up their location and
200
125
diff just those files. No need to traverse the entire inventories.
127
* ``bzr status DIR`` or ``bzr diff DIR`` should report on all changes
128
under that directory.
202
130
* Fix up Inventory objects to represent root object as an entry.
204
132
* Don't convert entire entry from ElementTree to an object when it is
228
154
At the very least we could run diffstat over the diff, or perhaps
229
155
read the status output from patch. Just knowing which files might
230
156
be modified would be enough to guide the add and commit.
232
158
Given this we might be able to import patches at 1/second or better.
160
* Get branch over http.
162
* Pull pure updates over http.
234
164
* revfile compression.
236
* Split inventory into per-directory files?
166
* Split inventory into per-directory files.
238
168
* Fix ignore file parsing:
274
204
if the subdirectory is not already versioned. Perhaps also require
275
205
a ``--nested`` to protect against confusion.
279
209
* More test framework:
281
211
- Class that describes the state of a working tree so we can just
282
212
assert it's equal.
214
* There are too many methods on Branch() that really manipulate the
215
WorkingTree. They should be moved across.
217
Also there are some methods which are duplicated on Tree and
218
Inventory objects, and it should be made more clear which ones are
219
proxies and which ones behave differently, and how.
284
221
* Try using XSLT to add some formatting to REST-generated HTML. Or
285
222
maybe write a small Python program that specifies a header and foot
286
223
for the pages and calls into the docutils libraries.
303
240
- Hold the ElementTree in memory in the Inventory object and work
304
241
directly on that, rather than converting into Python objects every
305
time it is read in. Probably still expose it through some kind of
242
time it is read in. Probably still exposoe it through some kind of
306
243
object interface though, but perhaps that should just be a proxy
307
244
for the elements.
309
- Less special cases for the root directory.
246
- Less special cases for the root directory.
311
248
* Perhaps inventories should remember the revision in which each file
312
249
was last changed, as well as its current state? This is a bit
315
252
* stat cache should perhaps only stat files as necessary, rather than
316
253
doing them all up-front. On the other hand, that disallows the
317
optimization of stating them in inode order.
254
opimization of stating them in inode order.
319
256
* It'd be nice to pipeline multiple HTTP requests. Often we can
320
257
predict what will be wanted in future: all revisions, or all texts
321
in a particular revision, etc.
258
in a particular revision, etc.
323
260
urlgrabber's docs say they are working on batched downloads; we
324
261
could perhaps ride on that or just create a background thread (ew).
326
263
* Paranoid mode where we never trust SHA-1 matches.
265
* Don't commit if there are no changes unless forced.
328
267
* --dry-run mode for commit? (Or maybe just run with
329
268
check-command=false?)
336
275
* XML attributes might have trouble with filenames containing \n and
337
276
\r. Do we really want to support this? I think perhaps not.
278
* Remember execute bits, so that exports will work OK.
339
280
* Unify smart_add and plain Branch.add(); perhaps smart_add should
340
281
just build a list of files to add and pass that to the regular add
343
284
* Function to list a directory, saying in which revision each file was
344
last modified. Useful for web and GUI interfaces, and slow to
285
last modified. Useful for web and gui interfaces, and slow to
345
286
compute one file at a time.
347
This will be done when we track file texts by referring to the
348
version that created them.
288
* unittest is standard, but the results are kind of ugly; would be
289
nice to make it cleaner.
350
291
* Check locking is correct during merge-related operations.
352
293
* Perhaps attempts to get locks should timeout after some period of
353
294
time, or at least display a progress message.
355
* Don't pass around command classes but rather pass objects. This'd
356
make it cleaner to construct objects wrapping external commands.
358
* Track all merged-in revisions in a versioned add-only metafile.
360
* ``uncommit`` command that removes a revision from the end of the
361
revision-history; just doing this is enough to remove the commit,
362
and a new commit will automatically be made against the
363
predecessor. This can be repeated.
365
It only makes sense to delete from the tail of history, not from the
368
The revision, its inventory and texts remain floating in the store.
369
We should perhaps add the revision to a list of removed-commits, so
370
that it can be restored or at least accounted for when checking
371
consistency. This file would not be versioned, and probably should
372
not propagate when branched.
374
If we track merged revisions then we need to update this list too.
375
If the list is stored in a weave it's easy (implicit): the version
376
of the list can remain but it won't be referenced anymore. It's
377
probably best to just store this list in a weave in the first place
added
removed
