"""Knit versionedfile implementation.

A knit is a versioned file implementation that supports efficient append only
updates.

Knit file layout:
lifeless: the data file is made up of "delta records".  each delta record has a delta header 
that contains; (1) a version id, (2) the size of the delta (in lines), and (3)  the digest of 
the -expanded data- (ie, the delta applied to the parent).  the delta also ends with a 
end-marker; simply "end VERSION"

delta can be line or full contents.a
... the 8's there are the index number of the annotation.

8             ie.executable = True
end robertc@robertcollins.net-20051003014215-ee2990904cc4c7ad 


whats in an index:
09:33 < jrydberg> lifeless: each index is made up of a tuple of; version id, options, position, size, parents
09:33 < jrydberg> lifeless: the parents are currently dictionary compressed
09:33 < jrydberg> lifeless: (meaning it currently does not support ghosts)
09:33 < lifeless> right
09:33 < jrydberg> lifeless: the position and size is the range in the data file


so the index sequence is the dictionary compressed sequence number used
in the deltas to provide line annotation

"""

# TODOS:
# 10:16 < lifeless> make partial index writes safe
# 10:16 < lifeless> implement 'knit.check()' like weave.check()
# 10:17 < lifeless> record known ghosts so we can detect when they are filled in rather than the current 'reweave 
#                    always' approach.
# move sha1 out of the content so that join is faster at verifying parents
# record content length ?

    The index is already kept in memory and read on startup, to enable
    fast lookups of revision information.  The cursor of the index
    file is always pointing to the end, making it easy to append
    entries.

    _cache is a cache for fast mapping from version id to a Index
    object.

    _history is a cache for fast mapping from indexes to version ids.

    The index data format is dictionary compressed when it comes to
    parent references; a index entry may only have parents that with a
    lover index number.  As a result, the index is topological sorted.

    Duplicate entries may be written to the index for a single version id
    if this is done then the latter one completely replaces the former:
    this allows updates to correct version and parent information. 
    Note that the two entries may share the delta, and that successive
    annotations and references MUST point to the first entry.

    The index file on disc contains a header, followed by one line per knit
    record. The same revision can be present in an index file more than once.
    The first occurrence gets assigned a sequence number starting from 0. 
    
    The format of a single line is
    REVISION_ID FLAGS BYTE_OFFSET LENGTH( PARENT_ID|PARENT_SEQUENCE_ID)* :\n
    REVISION_ID is a utf8-encoded revision id
    FLAGS is a comma separated list of flags about the record. Values include 
        no-eol, line-delta, fulltext.
    BYTE_OFFSET is the ascii representation of the byte offset in the data file
        that the the compressed data starts at.
    LENGTH is the ascii representation of the length of the data file.
    PARENT_ID a utf-8 revision id prefixed by a '.' that is a parent of
        REVISION_ID.
    PARENT_SEQUENCE_ID the ascii representation of the sequence number of a
        revision id already in the knit that is a parent of REVISION_ID.
    The ' :' marker is the end of record marker.
    
    partial writes:
    when a write is interrupted to the index file, it will result in a line
    that does not end in ' :'. If the ' :' is not present at the end of a line,
    or at the end of the file, then the record that is missing it will be
    ignored by the parser.

    When writing new records to the index file, the data is preceded by '\n'
    to ensure that records always start on new lines even if the last write was
    interrupted. As a result its normal for the last line in the index to be
    missing a trailing newline. One can be added with no harmful effects.
