Some minor issues have been - fixed at the same time: the first commit now goes into - refs/heads/master (not refs/head/tmp); there's no - checkpoint at the top of the stream; parent commits are - now always given lower mark numbers than the commits they - are merged into. (Ian Clatworthy) - - * The ``fast-import`` command now uses a different mapping of - git reference names to bzr branch names. In summary: - - * ``refs/heads/foo`` is mapped to ``foo`` - * ``refs/remotes/origin/foo`` is mapped to ``foo.remote`` - * ``refs/tags/foo`` is mapped to ``foo.tag`` - * ``*/master`` is mapped to ``trunk``, ``trunk.remote``, etc. - * ``*/trunk`` is mapped to ``git-trunk``, ``git-trunk.remote``, etc. - - This new mapping has been introduced so that more natural - branch names are used and to enable round-tripping back to git. - (Ian Clatworthy) - - * The old ``fast-import-filter`` command is now called - ``fast-import-query``. ``fast-import-filter`` now - really filters the input to produce a fast-import stream - based on filtering criteria. See below. - (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) +In Development +============== - FEATURES: +Compatability Breaks +-------------------- - * Added ``fast-import-filter`` command for splitting out a - subdirectory or bunch of files into their own project. It can - also be used to create a new repository without any history - for nominated files and directories. This is useful for - removing information which is a security risk, huge binary - files like ISO images, etc. - (Ian Clatworthy) +New Features +------------ - * Copying of files and symbolic links is now supported. - (Ian Clatworthy) +Improvements +------------ - * Initial cut at reset support. (Brian de Alwis, Ian Clatworthy) +* Updated the bundled version of hg-fast-export to be the latest + code (25-May-2009) from http://repo.or.cz/w/fast-export.git. + (Ian Clatworthy) - IMPROVEMENTS: +Bug Fixes +--------- - * 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) +* Fixed inventory delta generation when deleting directories. + (Previously the child paths included were relative to the + directory when they ought to be relative to the root.) + (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) +Documentation +------------- - * ``bzr fast-import-info`` now reports on things that may need caching, - i.e. merges, rename old paths and copy source paths. - (Ian Clatworthy) +Testing +------- - * Tag commands with a missing from clause now produce a warning but - are otherwise ignored. (Scott James Remnant, Ian Clatworthy) +Internals +--------- - * 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) +0.8 22-Jul-2009 +=============== - BUG FIXES: +Compatibility Breaks +-------------------- - * Fixed a *bad* bug where filecopy commands were being parsed - as filerename commands. Repositories generated by previous - version of bzr-fast-import where the input stream contained - filecopy commands might be missing data (the copy source will - no longer be there if it was unchanged since the copy happened) - and ought to be regenerated. - (Ian Clatworthy) +* ``exporters/bzr-fast-export`` has been replaced with a + ``fast-export`` command.

(Ian Clatworthy) - * Fixed how the per-file graph is generated. The per-file graph - may still be less than perfect in the case where a file is only - changed in a merge and not the parent, but in the vast majority - of cases now, ``bzr check`` should no longer report inconsistent - parents. (Ian Clatworthy) +* The ``fast-import`` command now uses a different mapping of + git reference names to bzr branch names. In summary: + + * ``refs/heads/foo`` is mapped to ``foo`` + * ``refs/remotes/origin/foo`` is mapped to ``foo.remote`` + * ``refs/tags/foo`` is mapped to ``foo.tag`` + * ``*/master`` is mapped to ``trunk``, ``trunk.remote``, etc. + * ``*/trunk`` is mapped to ``git-trunk``, ``git-trunk.remote``, etc. - * Fix ``os`` import as needed on Windows. - (Ian Clatworthy, esskov, #264988) + This new mapping has been introduced so that more natural + branch names are used and to enable round-tripping back to git. + (Ian Clatworthy) - * Handle a directory turning into a file and then the children - of that directory being deleted. - (Ian Clatworthy, #309486) +* The old ``fast-import-filter`` command is now called + ``fast-import-query``. ``fast-import-filter`` now + really filters the input to produce a fast-import stream + based on filtering criteria.

It was + only used in experimental mode for old versions of bzrlib so + it added more complexity than value. (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) +New Features +------------ - * 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) +* Added ``fast-import-filter`` command for splitting out a + subdirectory or bunch of files into their own project.
