Hi all,

I believe the revision-storage branch is mergeable, or close to it.

This branch introduces the API changes that will be needed to support
repositories.  So while it only supports standalone branches, it
contains a Repository object, which is used the way we plan to use real
repositories.

It also introduces LockableFiles, which supplies controlfile,
controlfilename, lock_write, etc.  In testing, I found a bug in
LockableFiles.put_utf8, which I believe exists in the current BzrBranch
version.  The bug is that the files are written as bytestrings, not as
utf8-encoded text.  AFAIK, there is no library functionality that
directly supports this.

Anyhow, please check out

if you find this kind of thing interesting.
