  I'm confused by the state of this diff - it appears to be modifying a file which doesn't yet exist in hg?

This is sort of okay, but won't scale well. I'd rather we used something we know we'll never see in a path like NUL rather than space separated, but this is probably fine.

I might bias towards making the first line an int followed by a newline so we can easily iterate on the file format and migrate things in the future.
