* is_within_any is very very dodgy
22
* Merging add of a new file clashing with an existing file doesn't
23
work; add gets an error that it's already versioned and the merge
26
* Merge should ignore the destination's working directory, otherwise
27
we get an error about the statcache when pulling from a remote

* Add of a file that was present in the base revision should put back
21
31
the previous file-id.
33
* Not sure I'm happy with needing to pass a root id to EmptyTree;
34
comparing anything against an EmptyTree with no root should have the

* Handle diff of files which do not have a trailing newline; probably
24
38
requires patching difflib to get it exactly right, or otherwise
25
39
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
41
* Should be able to copy files between branches to preserve their
42
file-id (and perhaps eventually parentage.)
39
44
* -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.
46
* allow ``bzr st -r 300`` to show a summary of changes since then.
44
48
* ``bzr info`` should count only people with distinct email addresses as
45
49
different committers. (Or perhaps only distinct userids?)
67
71
* ``bzr log DIR`` should give changes to any files within DIR.
69
* Check all commands have decent help.

* ``bzr inventory -r REV`` and perhaps unify this with ``bzr ls``,

85
* RemoteBranch could maintain a cache either in memory or on disk. We
84
86
know more than an external cache might about which files are
85
87
immutable and which can vary. On the other hand, it's much simpler
104
106
* Statcache should possibly map all file paths to / separators
108
* quotefn doubles all backslashes on Windows; this is probably not the
109
best thing to do. What would be a better way to safely represent
110
filenames? Perhaps we could doublequote things containing spaces,
111
on the principle that filenames containing quotes are unlikely?
112
Nice for humans; less good for machine parsing.
114
* 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
* ``bzr status FOO`` where foo is ignored should say so.
132
* ``bzr mkdir A...`` should just create and add A.
134
* Guard against repeatedly merging any particular patch.
136
* More options for diff:
138
- diff two revisions of the same tree
140
- diff two different branches, optionally at different revisions
142
- diff a particular file in another tree against the corresponding
143
version in this tree (which should be the default if the second
144
parameter is a tree root)
146
- diff everything under a particular directory, in any of the above
149
- diff two files inside the same tree, even if they have different
152
- and, of course, tests for all this
154
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments should probably be the same as ``bzr add .``
156
* Reproducible performance benchmark to measure whether performance is
157
getting better or worse.
145
198
At the very least we could run diffstat over the diff, or perhaps
146
199
read the status output from patch. Just knowing which files might
147
200
be modified would be enough to guide the add and commit.
149
202
Given this we might be able to import patches at 1/second or better.
151
204
* Get branch over http.
188
241
* Handle symlinks in the working directory; at the very least it
189
242
should be possible for them to be present and ignored/unknown
190
without causing assertion failures.

without causing assertion failures.

Eventually symlinks should be versioned.

* There are too many methods on Branch() that really manipulate the

WorkingTree. They should be moved across.

WorkingTree. They should be moved across.
208
261
Also there are some methods which are duplicated on Tree and
209
262
Inventory objects, and it should be made more clear which ones are

288
for the elements.

- Less special cases for the root directory.

* Perhaps inventories should remember the revision in which each file
240
293
was last changed, as well as its current state? This is a bit

urlgrabber's docs say they are working on batched downloads; we

could perhaps ride on that or just create a background thread (ew).

* Perhaps attempts to get locks should timeout after some period of
285
338
time, or at least display a progress message.
340
* Split out upgrade functionality from check command into a separate

* Don't pass around command classes but rather pass objects. This'd

make it cleaner to construct objects wrapping external commands.

* Track all merged-in revisions in a versioned add-only metafile.
