Notes on bzr-fastimport
=======================
..contents::
Features
========
fast-import
-----------
Things that ought to work:
* add & deletes of files and symlinks
* automatic creation of directories (but not deletion)
* executable permission
* branches created based on where the import is run:
* import into a shared repository outside a branch - branches
are created as subdirectories of the current directory
* import into a branch inside a shared repository - current
branch becomes the trunk and other branches are created
as sister directories
* import into a standalone tree - warnings are given
for branches (heads) found but not imported
* merge tracking
Things that probably work (more testing needed):
* separate author to committer
* lightweight tags
Known Limitations
=================
Parsing
-------
Things not supported yet:
* renaming a path that contains a space in the old name
* copying a path that contains a space in the source name
* delimited data sections (all data must be length prefixed currently)
* rfc2822 dates.
fast-import
-----------
Things not supported yet:
* deterministic revision-ids as an option
* 'reset' handling
* 'filedeleteall' handling
Things not recorded in Bazaar:
* tagger and message for (non-lightweight) tags
* copy semantics
Custom Enhancements
===================
General
-------
The date format is auto-detected.
Parsing
-------
These enhancements over the specification are provided in order
to read data produced by some verisons of git-fast-export:
* A person's name may be empty
* Long file modes with an extra leading 0, i.e. 0000644,
0000755 and 0120000 are legal.
