I'm still thinking (instead of coding for lack of time) about the
'bzr missing' rewrite (roughly: allows missing to display unknown
revisions as soon as they are received from hpss).

Copy/paste from my TODO:

* reimplement 'missing'

  - query the repository for "4k" blocks of revisions (and the
    next revision to be requested after that),
 
  - rewrite missing to use that new repository API,

  - implement the necessary client "verb" in the client which
    should then: display the response it get after having sent
    the next request

  - reverse option ? do we have to reverse the order in which
    revisions are queried ?

  - try to reduce the amount of data when the client ask for less
    infos,

I don't know what you are referring to here, but my TODO list
includes:

* bzr.http.redirection

  - set the qualifier on the redirected transport if it uses the
    same scheme as the original.

* bzr.http.authorization

  - Implement a test server for any auth scheme

  - Implement a basic auth http test server

  - Implement a digest auth http test server

  - write tests

   For digest server.
   Prompting user for username at the right moment (jam
   20060915).
   For any auth scheme.

* cherokee

   Install and test.

I already have pycurl and urllib handle digest but <whisper
:font_size 2pt> no tests </whisper> and will create a branch for
that on lp.

I have also updated the webdav plugin (available on lp) since
NlSprint so that it should be usable with bzr version 0.13 and
above.
