Since we're revisiting it, I want to point out Graydon's reply regarding I/O formats: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01927.html His opening sentence states it well: "I understand your concern, but I think you're over-stating the problem (or failing to note the slow direction we're already moving in)." He covers the problems of different formats in depth, and then closes with: "I can tell you what my preference is, though: I'd prefer if the automate commands all pumped out basic_io stanzas. I'd prefer if you could send basic_io stanzas to monotone as command sequences (say, for monotone stdio). I'd prefer if all commands could be invoked via stdio. And I'd prefer, rather than per-command things like --brief, that we do what marcel suggested (and what, if you look, the ROADMAP file has listed for some time), and give lua hooks a chance to control output formatting in general, so that if you *don't* want basic_io, there's something simple and general you can do about it." So, yes. Converging on basic_io and stdio is the "basic" idea. ;-) -- Chad Walstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
