Note:

This page is primarily intended for developers of Mercurial.

This page describes the current plan to get a more modern and complete bundle format. (for old content of this page check BundleFormatHG19)

(current content is copy pasted from 2.9 sprint note)

New bundle 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

New header

type Header struct {
    length       uint32
    lNode        byte
    node         [lNode]byte

    // if empty (lP1 ==0) then default to previous node in the stream
    lP1          byte
    p1           [lP1]byte

    // if empty, nullrev
    lP2          byte
    p2           [lP2]byte

    // if empty, self (for changelogs)
    lLinknode    byte
    linknode     [lLinknode]byte

    // if empty, p1
    lDeltaParent byte
    deltaParent  [lDeltaParent]byte 
}

We'll modify the existing changegroup type so it can pretend to be a new changegroup that just has a variety of empty fields. Progress information fields might be optional.
