The public version of the secret TODO list

These items are slowly being moved to the [http://selenic.com/mercurial/bugs bug tracker]

General:

• Better documentation
• More regression tests
• less code duplication, more code in the right places
• export to git
• generate man page from doc strings

Core:

• add handling of rename on merge
• more complete set of hooks
• make showing removed files (in history etc.) faster.

Error Handling:

• hgmerge error: merge should abort nicely and running it again should work

Commands:

• command to display file rev, changeset rev, changed, added, deleted, sha-1

• automatic pull fallback to old-http://

• hg pull default in a subdir doesn't work, if it is a relative path
• hg revert does not forget added files, it probably should.
• hg pull: select to pull a subset of the heads

• hg clone -r <rev> support, then clone can get a copy not include all the changeset.

• hg clone -r <rev>:<rev> support, so clone can get a small repository

Web:

• optionally only show merges (two parents)
• hgweb: deliver static files (e.g. favicon, stylesheets)
• hgweb personalization: timezone (display/change), display of features
• allow verbose mode
• show how far repositories have diverged

Tools:

• integrated gui with history, commit, push/pull, etc.
• integration with other IDEs
