| Set of requirements compiled during a version control system (VCS) meeting in March 2006. Some of these requirements explicitly conflict; it's not expected that a single solution will fulfill all of these. These are also not prioritized in any way; that's still an outstanding task.
| |
|
| |
|
| * changesets
| |
|
| |
| * move/rename files/directories with full history and appropriate behaviour with old branches/pull by date
| |
|
| |
| * atomic operations
| |
| ** every operation versioned: tagging, branching, etc. are part of history (or at least logged)
| |
|
| |
| * private/local branching
| |
| ** sane merging
| |
| *** history-sensitive merging
| |
|
| |
| * topic branches
| |
| ** with control over when you pull in outside changes into your branch
| |
|
| |
| * ability to tag/branch bugzilla/js/etc. subcomponents of a tree without tagging entire tree
| |
|
| |
| * tools integration
| |
| ** blame (like current bonsai)
| |
| ** revision history
| |
| ** source browsing
| |
| ** source indexing
| |
| ** tree closure/override
| |
| ** reports/metrics
| |
| *** commits, committers, etc.
| |
|
| |
| * access control
| |
| ** restrict people to specific areas
| |
| ** restrict areas/branches to specific people
| |
| ** group membership
| |
| ** being able to query where people have access
| |
| ** audited ACL changes
| |
| ** versioned ACLs
| |
|
| |
| * cross-platform (unix/mac/windows)
| |
|
| |
| * open source
| |
|
| |
| * file forking/diverging with history
| |
|
| |
| * cherry-picking of changesets
| |
|
| |
| * offline operation
| |
| ** offline diff
| |
| ** offline commit/merge/etc.
| |
| ** partial history pull
| |
| *** including zero history
| |
|
| |
| * tree information
| |
| ** tree-wide diff
| |
| ** selective diff
| |
| ** known/unknown/missing files
| |
|
| |
| * selective commit
| |
|
| |
| * work with standard patches
| |
|
| |
| * stable/reliable/maintained
| |
|
| |
| * charset awareness
| |
|
| |
| * line-ending conversion
| |
|
| |
| * binary files (efficient)
| |
|
| |
| * GUI tool for basic operations
| |
|
| |
| * as easy or easier than CVS for checkout/commit/diff/update/merge (on trunk and on branches)
| |
|
| |
| * partial tree pulls (localizers)
| |
|
| |
| * import full mozilla CVS repository
| |
| ** if we can't, why?
| |
|
| |
| * fast working directory updates
| |
| ** (checkout-by-date -> tip, branch -> branch, ...)
| |
|
| |
| * pull historical version and check in changes to files in historical version
| |
|
| |
| * integrity checking on repository
| |
| ** checksums for error detection
| |
|
| |
| * transit mechanisms
| |
| ** ssh
| |
| ** https
| |
| ** anonymous read-only (http?)
| |
|
| |
| * bootstrap local repo via blob pull
| |
|
| |
| * signed commits/changesets
| |
|
| |
| * hooks
| |
| ** all repository operations
| |
|
| |
| * bugzilla integration
| |
| ** automatic notification to bugzilla of what was checked in (add attachment based on changeset)
| |
| ** associate bugmail with committer
| |
|
| |
| * keep committer ID separate from the actual person
| |
|
| |
| * arbitrary versioned metadata on files/attributes
| |
| ** permission bits
| |
| ** key/value pairs
