287 by Martin Pool - todo: plugins	2
284 by Martin Pool - more TODO items	3	(See also various low-level TODOs in the source code. Try looking in
	4	the list archive or on gmane.org for previous discussion of these
	5	issues, or )
282 by Martin Pool - move all TODO items into ./TODO	6
	7	Small things
	8	------------
	9
	10	* Add of a file that was present in the base revision should put back
	11	the previous file-id.
	12
	13	* Handle diff of files which do not have a trailing newline; probably
	14	requires patching difflib to get it exactly right, or otherwise
	15	calling out to GNU diff.
	16
	17	* Import ElementTree update patch.
	18
284 by Martin Pool - more TODO items	19	* Syntax should be "bzr export -r REV".
282 by Martin Pool - move all TODO items into ./TODO	20
285 by Martin Pool - update todos	21	* "cat -rREV FILE"
285 by Martin Pool - update todos	22
287 by Martin Pool - todo: plugins	23	* Plugins that provide commands. By just installing a file into some
	24	directory (e.g. /usr/share/bzr/plugins) it should be possible to
	25	create new top-level commands ("bzr frob"). Extensions can be
	26	written in either Python (in which case they use the bzrlib API) or
	27	in a separate process (in sh, C, whatever). It should be possible
	28	to get help for plugin commands.

282 by Martin Pool - move all TODO items into ./TODO	30	Medium things
	31	-------------
	32
	33	* Faster diff/status.
	34
	35	Status should be handled differently because it needs to report on
	36	deleted and unknown files. diff only needs to deal with versioned
	37	files.
	38
	39	* Merge Aaron's merge code.
	40
	41	* Merge revert patch.
	42
	43	* Turn on stat cache code, and add optimization about avoiding
	44	dangerous cache entries.
	45
	46	* mv command?
	47
	48	* More efficient diff of only selected files.
	49
	50	* Fix up Inventory objects to represent root object as an entry.
	51
	52	* Don't convert entire entry from
	53
	54	* Extract changes from one revision to the next to a text form
	55	suitable for transmission over email.
	56
	57	* More test cases.
	58
	59	* Write a reproducible benchmark, perhaps importing various kernel versions.
	60
	61	* Change test.sh from Bourne shell into something in pure Python so
	62	that it can be more portable.
	63
	64	* Directly import diffs! It seems a bit redundant to need to rescan
	65	the directory to work out what files diff added/deleted/changed when
	66	all the information is there in the diff in the first place.
	67	Getting the exact behaviour for added/deleted subdirectories etc
	68	might be hard.
	69
	70	At the very least we could run diffstat over the diff, or perhaps
	71	read the status output from patch. Just knowing which files might
	72	be modified would be enough to guide the add and commit.
	73
	74	Given this we might be able to import patches at 1/second or better.
	75
	76	* Get branch over http.
	77
	78	* Pull pure updates over http.
	79
	80	* revfile compression.
	81
	82	* Split inventory into per-directory files.
	83
284 by Martin Pool - more TODO items	84	* Fix ignore file parsing:
	85
	86	- fnmatch is not the same as unix patterns
	87
	88	- perhaps add extended globs from rsh/rsync
	89
	90	- perhaps a pattern that matches only directories or non-directories
	91
	92	* Expansion of $Id$ tags within working files. Perhaps do this in
	93	exports first as a simpler case because then we don't need to deal
	94	with removing the tags on the way back in.
	95
282 by Martin Pool - move all TODO items into ./TODO	96
	97	Large things
	98	------------
	99
	100	* Web interface
	101
	102	* GUI (maybe in Python GTK+?)
	103
284 by Martin Pool - more TODO items	104	* C library interface
