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.

19
* Syntax should be "bzr export -r REV".

- update todos
21
* "cat -rREV FILE"

- 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.

* Smart rewrap text in help messages to fit in $COLUMNS (or equivalent
31
  on Windows)

Medium things
34
-------------
35
36
* Faster diff/status.  
37
38
  Status should be handled differently because it needs to report on
39
  deleted and unknown files.  diff only needs to deal with versioned
40
  files.
41
42
* Merge Aaron's merge code.
43
44
* Merge revert patch.
45
46
* Turn on stat cache code, and add optimization about avoiding
47
  dangerous cache entries.
48
49
* mv command?
50
51
* More efficient diff of only selected files.
52
53
* Fix up Inventory objects to represent root object as an entry.
54
55
* Don't convert entire entry from 
56
57
* Extract changes from one revision to the next to a text form
58
  suitable for transmission over email.
59
60
* More test cases.
61
62
* Write a reproducible benchmark, perhaps importing various kernel versions.
63
64
* Change test.sh from Bourne shell into something in pure Python so
65
  that it can be more portable.
66
67
* Directly import diffs!  It seems a bit redundant to need to rescan
68
  the directory to work out what files diff added/deleted/changed when
69
  all the information is there in the diff in the first place.
70
  Getting the exact behaviour for added/deleted subdirectories etc
71
  might be hard.
72
73
  At the very least we could run diffstat over the diff, or perhaps
74
  read the status output from patch.  Just knowing which files might
75
  be modified would be enough to guide the add and commit.
76
  
77
  Given this we might be able to import patches at 1/second or better.
78
79
* Get branch over http.
80
81
* Pull pure updates over http.
82
83
* revfile compression.
84
85
* Split inventory into per-directory files.
86

- more TODO items
87
* Fix ignore file parsing:
88
89
  - fnmatch is not the same as unix patterns
90
91
  - perhaps add extended globs from rsh/rsync
92
93
  - perhaps a pattern that matches only directories or non-directories
94
95
* Expansion of $Id$ tags within working files.  Perhaps do this in
96
  exports first as a simpler case because then we don't need to deal
97
  with removing the tags on the way back in.
