| This page describes the second iteration of the bundle format, tentatively called HG19 (since we hope to include it with Mercurial 1.9). | <<Include(A:dev)>> |
| Line 3: | Line 3: |
| Bundles consist of the following sections: * A bundle header, describing the version and features present in the data. * Changegroup sections for the changelog, the manifest and each relevant filelog. * Optionally, a footer containing an index for more efficient random access? |
This page describes the current plan to get a more modern and complete bundle format. (for old content of this page check [[BundleFormatHG19]]) |
| Line 10: | Line 7: |
| == Sections == === Header === The bundle header has the following format: |
(current content is copy pasted from 2.9 sprint note) |
| Line 14: | Line 9: |
| || '''Offset''' || '''Size''' || '''Type''' || '''Description''' || ||<)> 0 ||<)> 4 || string || Bundle format version. Always contains "HG19". || ||<)> 4 ||<)> 2 || string || Compression type. Either "BZ", "GZ" or "UN". || ||<)> 6 ||<)> a || string || Bundle features (or requirements). A list of comma separated words (lowercase ASCII) describing features present in the bundle. The string is terminated by a newline character. || |
=== New bundle format === |
| Line 19: | Line 11: |
| === Changegroup sections === The changegroup sections has the following format: |
* lightweight * new manifest * general delta * bookmarks * phase boundaries * obsolete markers * >sha1 support * pushkey * extensible for new features (required and optional) * progress information * resumable? * transaction commit markers? It's possible to envision a format that sends a change, its manifest, and filenodes in each chunk rather than sending all changesets, then all manifests, etc. capabilities |
