bzr-fastimport Release Notes

----------------------------

.. contents::

IN DEVELOPMENT

--------------

  COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:

    * The ``fast-import-filter`` command is now called

      ``fast-import-query``.

      (Ian Clatworthy)

    * The ``--inv-fulltext`` option is no longer supported. It was

      only used in experimental mode for old versions of bzrlib so

      it added more complexity than value. (Ian Clatworthy)

  FEATURES:

    * Copying of files and symbolic links is now supported.

      (Ian Clatworthy)

    * Initial cut at reset support. (Brian de Alwis, Ian Clatworthy)

  IMPROVEMENTS:

    * If ``refs/heads/xxx`` and ``refs/remotes/origin/xxx`` are both

      defined, the latter is now mapped to a bzr branch called

      ``xxx.remote`` rather than ``remotes--origins--xxx``.

      (Ian Clatworthy)

    * ``bzr fast-import-info`` now handles an unlimited # of parents for a

      revision. The spec suggests the maximum ought to be 16 but the linux

      kernel has revisions with more than that.

      (Ian Clatworthy)

    * Tag commands with a missing from clause now produce a warning but

      are otherwise ignored. (Scott James Remnant, Ian Clatworthy)

    * The fastimport-id-map file can now have more revisions than the

      repository. (Scott James Remnant)

    * Updated the bundled version of hg-fast-export to be the latest

      code from http://repo.or.cz/w/fast-export.git. It should now

      support recent Mercurial releases.

      (Ian Clatworthy, #318903)

  BUG FIXES:

    * Fix ``os`` import as needed on Windows.

      (Ian Clatworthy, esskov, #264988)

    * Handle a directory turning into a file and then the children

      of that directory being deleted.

      (Ian Clatworthy, #309486)

    * Handle an empty email section.

      (Ian Clatworthy)

    * Handle multiple merges within the one merge clause. That's illegal

      according to the spec but git-fast-export does it.

      (Ian Clatworthy, #259711)

    * Handle names and paths that aren't utf8 encoded. The spec recommends

      utf8 encoding of these but git-fast-export doesn't always do that.

      (Ian Clatworthy, #289088)

    * Ignore lightweight tags with no from clause rather than abort.

      (It seems git-fast-export outputs these commands frequently now

      while it didn't appear to in early versions.)

      (Ian Clatworthy, edice, #259711)

    * Import into rich-root (and subtree) repositories without aborting.

      (Ian Clatworthy, #300921)

    * Recursively delete children when a directory is deleted.

      (Scott James Remnant)

    * The ``deleteall`` command now only tries to delete files in the

      nominated branch, not all known files. As a consequence,

      it should now be possible (if it wasn't before) to import

      multiple Darcs branches (via darcs-fast-export) at once.

      (Ian Clatworthy)

  API BREAKS:

  INTERNALS:

0.7 09-Feb-2009

---------------

  COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:

    * bzr-fast-export.py renamed to bzr-fast-export.

      (Jelmer Vernooij)

  IMPROVEMENTS:

    * Add support for the deleteall command.

      (Miklos Vajna, #284941)

  BUG FIXES:

    * bzr-fast-export now exports rm+mv correctly.

      (Jonas)

    * Fix recursive rename handling in bzr-fast-export.

      (Pieter de Bie, #287785)

    * hg-fast-export should use binary mode on Windows.

      (Alexey Stukalov)

    * setup.py no longer assumes python2.4.

      (schickb@gmail.com)

    * setup.py support fixed.

      (Jelmer Vernooij)

    * Update the last-modified revision for a renamed file.

      (John Arbash Meinel)

0.6 23-Jul-2008

---------------

  FEATURES:

  IMPROVEMENTS:

    * Added NEWS containing Release Notes. (Ian Clatworthy)

    * ``bzr help fastimport`` now provides help that is useful.

      (Ian Clatworthy)

    * Numerous fixes to ``bzr-fast-export.py`` to improve round-tripping

      with Git. Added ``--import-marks`` and ``--export-marks`` options

      to ``fast-import`` as well.

      (Pieter de Bie)

    * ``svn-fast-export.py`` now supports a regular-expression to specify

      the branches to export.

      (Mirko Friedenhagen)

  BUG FIXES:

    * Support the new Repository API added in bzr.dev r3510. The old API

      will be used for earlier versions of bzr including bzr 1.6beta2 and

      earlier. (Ian Clatworthy)

  COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:

    * The ``--inv-fulltext`` option is not yet supported when the new

      Repository API is used to import revisions. The option can be

      provided but it will be ignored. (Ian Clatworthy)

  API BREAKS:

    * The ``RevisionLoader`` class has been renamed to ``RevisionLoader1``.

      The ``ExperimentalRevisionLoader`` class has been renamed to

      ``ImportRevisionLoader1``. New classes called ``RevisionLoader2``

      and ``ImportRevisionLoader2`` are provided that use the new

      Repository API. (Ian Clatworthy)

  TESTING:

  INTERNALS:

    * Improved packaging by adding a setup.py file. (Ian Clatworthy)

0.5 02-Jun-2008

---------------

  FEATURES:
