I don't think it's a good idea to store everything in LF in the repository. Unlike Subversion, you cannot expect all interactions to take place through the "eol-filter" we're implementing. Letting people checkout a useful unfiltered clone would be possible if we know the repository native format and convert back to that. Anyway, it's a minor detail. More importantly, I've posted a simple, rough extension that does this here: http://markmail.org/message/yj4so736t4cfdulv I figured it would be better to discuss the design and implementation on mercurial-devel since there are more Mercurial hackers there. I've CC'ed a bunch of people from this thread to "seed" the discussion -- the rest of you on python-devel are hereby invited to join :-) http://selenic.com/mailman/listinfo/mercurial-devel -- Martin Geisler VIFF (Virtual Ideal Functionality Framework) brings easy and efficient SMPC (Secure Multiparty Computation) to Python.
