We now have a function that interpret part content.
This is a version early version of this function. It'll see major changes in
scope and API in future development. As for previous I'm just focussing on
getting minimal logic setup. Refining will happen with real world usage.
We use the same approach that the other unpack, as function is given the struct
format and his both responsible for reading the right amount of data from the
header and unpack the struct.
This give use flexibility if we decide to change the size of something in the
format before the release.
We add the ability to bundle and unbundle a payload in parts. The payload is the
actual binary data of the part. It is used to convey all the applicative data.
For now we stick to very simple implementation with all the data fit in single
chunk. This open the door to some bundle2 testing usage. This will be improved before
bundle2 get used for real. We need to be able to stream the payload in multiple
part to exchange any changegroup efficiently. This simple version will do for
now.
Bundling and unbundling are done in the same changeset because the test for
parts is less modular. However, the result is not too complex.
The bundle2 now raise value error when seeing invalid parameter names. The first
introduced rules is: no empty parameter.
The test extension is improve to properly abort when ValueError are encountered.
This introduces support for arbitrary characters in stream parameters name and
value. The urlquote format has been chosen because it is:
- simple,
- standard,
- no-op on simple alphanumerical entry.
Parameter can now have a value. We use a `<name>=<value>` form inspired from
capabilities.
There is still no kind of escaping in the name or value, yet.
Stream level parameter have very restricted use case. Clarify why we chosen a
textual format and point that applicative data goes in applicative parts.
This changeset introduce an unbundler class to match the bundle2 bundler. It is
currently able to unbundle an empty bundle2 only and will gain more feature at
the same pace than the bundler.
It also comes with its special extension command in test.
This changeset is the very first of a long series. It create a new bundle2
module and add a simple class that generate and empty bundle2 container.
The module is documented with the current state of the implementation. For
information about the final goal you may want to consult the mercurial wiki
page:
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BundleFormat2
The documentation of the module will be updated with later patches adding more and
more feature to the format.
This patches also introduce a test case. This test case build and use its own
small extension that use the new bundle2 module. Since the new format is unable
to do anything right now, we could not use real mercurial code to test it.
Moreover, some advanced feature of the bundle2 spec will not be used by core
mercurial at all. So we need to have them tested.
