requires patching difflib to get it exactly right, or otherwise
25
25
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
39
27
* -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.
44
29
* ``bzr info`` should count only people with distinct email addresses as
45
30
different committers. (Or perhaps only distinct userids?)
67
52
* ``bzr log DIR`` should give changes to any files within DIR.
69
* Check all commands have decent help.
71
54
* ``bzr inventory -r REV`` and perhaps unify this with ``bzr ls``,
72
55
giving options to display ids, types, etc.
85
68
immutable and which can vary. On the other hand, it's much simpler
86
69
to just use an external proxy cache.
71
Perhaps ~/.bzr/http-cache. Baz has a fairly simple cache under
72
~/.arch-cache, containing revision information encoded almost as a
73
bunch of archives. Perhaps we could simply store full paths.
88
75
* Maybe also store directories in the statcache so that we can quickly
89
76
identify that they still exist.
78
* Diff should show timestamps; for files from the working directory we
79
can use the file itself; for files from a revision we should use the
80
commit time of the revision.
82
* Perhaps split command infrastructure from the actual command
85
* Cleaner support for negative boolean options like --no-recurse.
87
* Statcache should possibly map all file paths to / separators
89
* quotefn doubles all backslashes on Windows; this is probably not the
90
best thing to do. What would be a better way to safely represent
91
filenames? Perhaps we could doublequote things containing spaces,
92
on the principle that filenames containing quotes are unlikely?
93
Nice for humans; less good for machine parsing.
95
* Patches should probably use only forward slashes, even on Windows,
96
otherwise Unix patch can't apply them. (?)
98
* Branch.update_revisions() inefficiently fetches revisions from the
99
remote server twice; once to find out what text and inventory they
100
need and then again to actually get the thing. This is a bit
103
One complicating factor here is that we don't really want to have
104
revisions present in the revision-store until all their constituent
105
parts are also stored.
107
The basic problem is that RemoteBranch.get_revision() and similar
108
methods return object, but what we really want is the raw XML, which
109
can be popped into our own store. That needs to be refactored.
111
* ``bzr status FOO`` where foo is ignored should say so.
113
* ``bzr mkdir A...`` should just create and add A.
251
276
* XML attributes might have trouble with filenames containing \n and
252
277
\r. Do we really want to support this? I think perhaps not.
279
* Remember execute bits, so that exports will work OK.
281
* Unify smart_add and plain Branch.add(); perhaps smart_add should
282
just build a list of files to add and pass that to the regular add
285
* Function to list a directory, saying in which revision each file was
286
last modified. Useful for web and gui interfaces, and slow to
287
compute one file at a time.
289
* unittest is standard, but the results are kind of ugly; would be
290
nice to make it cleaner.
292
* Check locking is correct during merge-related operations.
294
* Perhaps attempts to get locks should timeout after some period of
295
time, or at least display a progress message.
297
* Split out upgrade functionality from check command into a separate
300
* Don't pass around command classes but rather pass objects. This'd
301
make it cleaner to construct objects wrapping external commands.
